Persona 3 and 4 the "power of friendship" is more like "go out and make friends, not because you want friends, but because doing so will LITERALLY make you more powerful, in the form of summoning stronger persona". It's not working together that saves the day. You are just a crazy person manipulating others into loving you to increase your own power.

no, they're my friends.

I don't mind that power of friendship bullshit, but hopefully the lovely calendar system and boring social links are not in P5.

I hope Persona 5 has a timed mechanic like Lightning Returns, make enough friends before the clock strikes down or the world will end.

Or maybe just add an option to rest/sleep/skip days until something story related happens. That'd be neat

I think you can just sleep in all day every day in Persona 3. Oh, I remember, because you could get tired in the original version.

The best part of Persona 4 is when you catch the "killer" and then nothing happens for like a month because it's summer break and you just wander around town for like 5 or 6 hours.

I never once slept in a day in Persona 3 Portable. It's just a bad idea, you could be doing something beneficial with that day. Hell, even taking advantage of every day you're still likely to miss maxing at least some of your social links.

I liked Persona 3 but honestly after playing SMT4 I don't see myself ever playing another Persona unless it's pretty dramatically improved.

Honestly Persona 3 struck me as rather gloomy for a ~power of friendship~ themed game. It's an interesting sort of atmosphere.

SMT: Strange Journey emulates perfectly on the Drastic emulator and I am very happy to be able to play it now when I can't use my DS.

I wish there were some way to easily transfer my save files though; does anyone know a decent way to do that on a DS cart?
