Shin Megami Tensei and Persona

tbh, the new protag looks like the mc of devil survivor 2 with glasses. I think he looks alright. I'm hoping there'll be more crimson in future trailers. I love the extensive color themes of P3 and P4.
 
you guys complaining about p4's after story stuff.

hey, at least it's not The Answer.

fuck The Answer.

I'm deciding to finish it up on my PSN copy of P3
It's very tedious to get through

That Persona Lesson
Dammit I'm so done with this fan base haha

P3 does drag. Probably due to all the grinding.
 
The Answer is even more grindy due to no SLs
At least no one ever gets Tired or Sick though
Also Metis is pretty cool
 
Didn't mind the grind at all in The Answer....anybody who genuinely loves rpgs should be able to stomach it...and the story made it soooooooo worth it. I would clear floors like my life depended on it just so I could see what would happen next.

It's not like it was FFXIII (especially post-game if you're going to platinum). Now THAT is grindy, peeps.

I bet the P5 characters summon their Personas by revving their engines.
 
I kinda like the card crush thing from P5 the best. Liken I would love it if they pulled the cards out of,their chest and broke a chain that attached the tarot to their body.

Now see here boy
I played the Dragon Quest games
I do not mind grinding
And I love me a good story too
But with the way Persona works everybody knows leveling up yourself is balls if your SLs are garbage
You don't have any in the Answer
Also if you don't fight with people for too long they become terribly under leveled and you gotta go back to earlier dungeons to get em in fightan shape (I tried to clear Empyrean with Lv.35 Aki lololol)
You can't just use any ol party the whole way through either cause every boss has someway of screwing your team so hard where you gotta switch peeps on almost every final floor

you know who is way cooler? and has an ax? and is super moe? and who should totally be a recurring character in nearly every persona game?

As a Labrys main, I approve this. I approve this so hard...
 
She's okay. Her accent makes her the best of the Toasters though.
 
But Metis has an axe too y'know
I mean it doesn't have jets and stuff
But still
Also her Persona, Psyche, is pretty

Eh, I disagree with this. When I first got Persona 3 I didn't level up or even come close with maxing out all the links. Sure, you miss out on some powerful personas but I made it through without frustration.

I agree with the leveling issue but I disagree with the party bit. I mostly stuck with the same team with no problems.

Also Metis is pretty cool

I agree with this 100%.

Eh, I guess I'm just addicted to that EXP boost you get with maxed SLs
By garbage I guess I meant....Rank 3 or lower
And yes another Metis fan
Why does it seem like we're a dying breed

I mainly love her because I love it when

spoilered for Arena spoilers
robot characters gain sentience, Labrys being from guilt, and the fact that she's an amnesiac due to PTSD. I love that kinda stuff.

you know who else has an axe and is super cool

Mark
fuck Mark and his dance. I hate his shit eating grin.

I want Metis...as a DLC. Like really badly

Why can't this happpppen!!!!!!! Instead we gotta get Ken's useless ass, cramping Koromaru's style and shit. :T

I mean, I liked Ken and all but man, I hardly had him in my team and I didn't find his part in Persona 3 to be all that...exciting or whatever. I see him as the catalyst
....
....
....to Shinji's death. That's it. I wish he had more of a role in the game.
 
Yeah he's like the one exception. He's cool. Everyone else is gross.
Nanjo is okay. foreigner girl and long skirted fighter girl are okay. everyone else is d-tier at best.
 
Yeah he's like the one exception. He's cool. Everyone else is gross.
[Angrily dances at you cauz Mark is cool]

And as for Ken well....he was in my team for Nyx. Seriously he saved me a lot with his Mediarama. It heals a lot and it doesn't use too much SP. Plus he was doing a lot of critical attacks like...380 without buffs !

Also Ken isn't weak to any of the common elements
Just Darkness
That actually came in handy with all those bosses that like to strike weak points then use their extra turn to Megidola everyone into dead

I used Ken a lot.

Only because Nemesis and Kala-Nemi are really cool Personas.

I think we can all agree that Brown has the greatest backstory of any character in the entire series, though
 
K, I guess I'm the only one that love-hate Ken.
's aight. >.>

edit: for the record, Koromaru isn't weak to any of the common elements either! Hm, hm, hm!
 
As someone who hasn't played P3 I don't know shit about how the actual gameplay goes
But speaking as someone who nevertheless knows how these characters themselves are anyway
I don't know what you guys are doing using Ken and not just bodying everything with the best trio of MC/Junpei/Akihiko with optional switching for Yukari.
:PUN:

mostly because Junpei is a wet blanket and you have to slog through yukari's social link of "wah wah daddy issues wah why don't people like me over mitsuru?!" Ken is a dog and dogs are just awesome. HIS EVOKER IS A SHOCK COLLAR!
 
.... you have to slog through yukari's social link of "wah wah daddy issues wah why don't people like me over mitsuru?!"

Hee hee hee I actually laughed at this.
....
I don't see why people hate Yukari so much. I think she was the most realistic character in the game at times. She was a bitch...but I think the bitchiness reaaallly fleshed her out.

I like bitches though so maybe I am biased a little. lol
