>My face when I just beat P3 today

All of these feels.

An HD Collection for 2 games thats been re-released 3 and 2 times already?

Are you fucking stupid?

>>146585198
I know them feels man, finished 2 days ago.
I haven't touched The Answer tho

>>146585338
I don't want to play persona 3 on psp because it's a shittier version with no animated cutscenes on a shitty little screen and I don't want to play persona 4 on ps vita because vita will has no gaems and will serve as a paperweight as soon as I beat persona 4.

It's honestly surprising they haven't done one yet, considering the popularity of the two games, as well as the amount of money these HD re-releases are bringing in. I would love it, myself.

There should be a SMT HD Collection of Nocturne, Devil Summoner 1 and 2, and DDS1 and 2.

All of my money.

>>146585610
Okay, so what's your excuse for not wanting to play it on PS3?

>>146585610

>P3P
>Shittier version

So better gameplay, not having to endure the shit fest that is "The Answer" is somehow shittier. Look up the cutscenes on youtube.

>>146585603
No.
Stay away from the Answer.

>>146586225
wut?
I'm OP and there's nothing I want more than to have the persona games on ps3.

I'm playing through P3:FES right now. I'm going to play The Answer too, AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME!

>>146586906
Nope, The Answer is going to stop you from playing it.

>Beat the last full moon boss
>Getting tired of the repetition and dating sim
What do

>>146586391
Every few months I pick my copy of FES back up and continue my playthrough of The Answer before putting it back down again after an hour.

I love P3, but The Answer fucking sucks.

>>146587080

NO!

It can't be that bad, it can't! You are over exaggerating!

>>146586225
You can buy it off the Playstation Store.

So hyped for P4 golden. I will play that game haaard.

>>146587224
You can buy persona 3 on psn and play it natively on ps3? Would the resolution be 1080p?

>>146587857
dunno, here's a video though

No problem, it's one of my favourites too.

>>146587454
Got an image/wallpaper similar to than, only Persona 3 instead of 4? Been looking for a good P3 wallpaper and the ones I've found are crappy.

Just got the game a few days ago and I'm wondering, when does it pick up?

8 hours in and I just saved Fuuko. Does it pick up soon or is it going to stay on this poor pace for long?

Persona 1 and 2 just got remastered versions on psp though and persona 4 just got that vita version. What we need is an hd collection with the raidou games and nocturne

Sorry, I'm new to the series and haven't checked out P3 yet (just downloaded P3P in the psn sale), so my image obsession for that hasn't kicked in yet.

Wow buddy, nice argument to defend your casualness.

I'll enjoy beating the harder game now.

>>146589356
No problem. Though I highly recommend you pick up on it whenever you can. I just completed the game today and it has easily earned the title of my favorite game.

Here's a quick tip though. Make sure you reach the Tartarus barriers each month before the full moon. I know some of the bosses can be hard when you aren't leveled probably, but that solves your problem if you have it.

>>146589581

DURRR HARD MODE FTW

It might be too big for an HD collection. I was shocked by how big just the download for P3 FES was. However it wouldn't be hard. Lots of the game's textures already are higher definition than the PS2's definition can show us, as seen by emulators.

File: 1342058683071.png-(974 KB, 700x1231, 1341861377795.png)

I recently started the psp version of persona 1, I'm enjoying it a lot more than 3 and 4 despite people saying it's the worst

>>146589687
Artificial difficulty is still better than playing a casual game.

>>146589842
>frustrating
Sure casual. I know how to command my mates.

>>146589929
>Artificial difficulty is still better than playing a casual game.

Uh, no?

But whatever. You seem to think that the AI fucking you over constitutes difficulty, so you're obviously retarded. Why I bothered to argue with you is beyond me.

It's a shit ton better than 3 and 4. Everyone just complains because it isn't a goddamn dating sim.

>>146590038
The AI doesn't fuck me over If I don't give them the possibility to do so.

Again, I'll enjoy the better game while you play the casualized version of it.

>>146589831
Yeah, no problem. I'll be buying a Vita soon and I'll probably be pre-buying P3P and the other 2 Persona games since they're currently on sale. I mostly want to buy P3P for 2nd playthrough purposes, plus I hear there are a few more added features than FES.

At any rate, I hope you enjoy the game as much as I did. The story and characters really drew me in, not to mention the tons and tons of Personas you can fuse.

>>146590179

No dude, the game isnt fun because uh, the combat is horrible, like really bad, yeah! Just because I couldnt deal with run of the mill jrpg combat and no waifus means everyone should love 3 and 4 more! Even though admittedly 1 and 2 have arguably better stories and characters that weren't written for 13 year olds, Yeah, thats it! Ha! I showed them!

>>146590280

Persona 1 and 2 have always been better games than 3 and 4.

3 and 4 simply have more appeal to today's waifu-lusting that feel faggots who want to play a sim without admitting that they're playing a sim.

No, Persona 1 is not a good game.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I'm here to inform you that you have shit taste and you need to kill yourself.

>>146590896

It's just a simpler way of putting what 3 and 4 fags spout at every mention of people enjoying 1 and 2. I'm sorry you couldn't enjoy the first 3 games and their entire story arch "just because."

P5 at TGS yeh? Right?

>>146591089
I want smt4 info, that's probably more likely too

>>146591074
>If you enjoyed Persona 3 and 4, you obviously didn't enjoy any of the other ones.

Your argument is so stupid that I cannot actually believe you are putting any thought into what you're typing.

Please tell me that you're trolling me by just pretending to be retarded.

>>146591034

The combat isn't like P3, therefore its instantly bad. That's pretty much it. I could name numeruous of other beloved jrpgs with pretty mediocre/bad combat, but then 3 and 4 fags wouldn't have much of an argument anymore.

And were talking about the PSP remakes here.

>>146591069

Persona 1, for all of its myriad problems and annoyances, remains a better game than Persona 3 and/or 4.

This includes the original PS1 version. Shit, this includes the original North American PS1 version, and there isn't a goddamn thing you or your waifu(s) can do about it.

Deal with it.

Or just kill yourself. Whichever works best.

(kill yourself)

Atlus should make 2 HD Collections. First one containing Nocturne, both DDS games and both Devil Summoner games.

The other HD Collection containing P3 FES and P4.

>>146591209

90% of people who've played 3 and/or 4 havent gone back and touched 1 and 2. And the ones that have instantly declare it shit because it's different and don't even finish the game.

This is what someone actually believes.

>>146592827

SICK BURN

>>146593114
So, you have no actual arguments?

>>146593193
And you do?

What about SMT 1 & 2 being rereleased ? Would that only be for the Wii though?

>>146592910

Then why aren't their any P1 and P2 threads ever?

Because theres no waifus

Check and mate, nerd.

>>146593250
Well, let's examine all of the arguments presented.

One person believes that Persona 1 is superior to 3 and 4, and went off on some tangent about waifus or some other such nonsense.

The second person states that he derived enjoyment from Persona 4 without said "waifus".

This would make person one incorrect in his belief that these games only appeal to "waifu-lusting that feel faggots".

>>146593426
i know they're on the jap virtual console, don't know about the us one, they'd be in japanese anyways

>>146593503
There are husbandos in P2 though

>>146593571
There is English fan made ones though. I mean how hard could it be? Plus they remastered SMT1 for the gameboy advance or virtual console I think.

>>146593503
>Then why aren't their any P1 and P2 threads ever?

Because there's an SMT general on /vg/ and, according to /v/, games aren't supposed to be discussed on /v/ when they have general threads on /vg/.

>>146593426

>>146593503

Because no one wants to discuss them?

>If X doesn't occur, then it must be because of Y!

I bet you actually felt smart for a second.

>>146593897

Yeah, but noone discusses the merits of P4 and P3 in those threads. It's all literally waifu shit. Maybe a mention or 2 of what personas are da best and omg adachi was right, and thats fucking it.

I disagree, i believe Innocent Sin had the best cast in the series, and EP as a close 2nd.

>>146594205

I'm talking about on /v/ strictly, even before /vg/ existed.

I'm not sure how people can stomach to play Persona. That is, if you can really call it a game -- I think Persona was developed by a pharmaceutical company as a trendy sleep aid.

>>146594079
>Yeah, but noone discusses the merits of P4 and P3 in those threads.

Except, you know, last night's thread.
And the thread before that.
And the thread before that.
I don't know why so many Persona threads keep popping up on /v/, but they've been rather limited in "waifu discussions".
And all of SMT General.

>>146594251

I do not agree, but I respect your opinion sir. For you are a gentleman and a scholar for having played both.

>>146594205

I would not wish /vg's threads on even you waifu fags. Let's not speak of it again lest someone actually go to have a look.

Whenever I talked about SMT 1 or 2 or Persona 2 in the /vg/ threads I got a good replies. Just got to stur them up or say you are playing Persona 2 EP before IS, then they go crazy.

No, I mean just the entirety of the games. I've gotten as far as joining a school club in P4 and I'm finding it hard to care about anything that's going on. In P3 I literally fell asleep at the first time into Tartarus.

Or is that where Persona's real challenge is? In fighting the urge to just pass out and forcing yourself to suffer through what would otherwise be the most boring crap ever. Ah, so Persona is not a JRPG, but a masochistic work-game in the vein of Desert Bus.

For the most part I'm just curious, seeing as how Persona 4 is now my favorite game, I'm at least gonna give it a fair shot to see the origins of it. If I hate it or love it, I'll have to find out.

I guess I should ask... can I just ignore the stupid social links in Persona 4 and just move through the main story line? Or would it be basically impossible to progress (on Expert) without grinding out s-link levels?
