Damn with this I think we’ve seen every P1 party member except Mark. Where is that guy?

I did this and it was quite fun! There were a couple points where I was forced to grind, but overall the low exp was fun to work around.

I was *not* expecting that name to show up again. This really is just a sequel to P1.

I think you can have an opinion on a game having watched it, but your experience is fundamentally different from someone who played it. A game has a narrative that everyone experiences, but the interactive parts of the game (who you talked to, what you did/missed, etc) crafts your personal narrative

The reload mindset was that aside from the combat, they still wanted the game to feel close to P3 while also feeling new. So in some regards you’re still experiencing that game from 2006, so you have to give it some grace lol.

I’m glad that you’re willing to give it another shot!

They removed it because people responded to it negatively. But in interviews they’ve said it was intentional.

P3’s story is a slow burn. The first half is setting up characters for the payoffs in the second half. P5R has tons more to do which makes sense because it’s building on what came before.

While P3 does lack features from its successors, I personally found the story and characters better.

The tactics system isn’t a limitation, it’s an intentional design choice. You have to plan for the entire round and anticipate enemy actions since you can only set tactics on your turn.

Ah, thank you!

I see people sell this game for like $5 on eBay, this is way overpriced for vanilla P5.

The more accurate average persona fan tier list would be to not include 1 or 2 at all lol

I haven’t played enough of metaphor to comment on that, but for persona I think 3’s feels most like a trio. I feel like there were more scenes of those three specifically interacting compared to yu+yosuke+chie or joker+ryuji+ann.

Generally, you can put “archive.is/“ in front of any article url you wanna read to get past the subscription filter.

Idk I felt like Junpei was taken seriously, especially after chidori. Yeah, he is involved in funny moments but the game treats him as way more than that. We see all different sides of Junpei; insecurities, fears, love, maturity. I don’t feel he exists just to bring levity to scenes.

I agree. The ability to choose when to use the attacks is infinitely more satisfying than random free damage.

Hope you’re enjoying it so far!

3 for sure. I love the cast, story, music, themes, everything! Reload’s combat is super fun and FES’s combat system offers a unique challenge that sets it apart from the other entries.
