A startling Fact

...

uh huh... Well I guess I didnt play it enough to judge fully, but that was my basic understanding...

I dont like to say too many bad things about something anime, manga, or game-wise unless Ive seen, read, or played it enough...

What you wrote sounds like you had some kid with ADD give you a quick tl;dr.

That's as if you looked at a bad lamia pic and said, oh lamias suck you know.



You ask that although you say you know something about persona? Like, really?

Well that would be because they havent seen enough, and I dont remember saying Persona sucks...



I know something, I saw the review for it on tv, then played a bit of it... So yeah that does count as knowing something...

What, are you saying you have to play the entire game to know anything about it...?

If you haven't played the whole game... well, the story gets really intricate for both P3 and P4 later on. With OMGPLOTTWISTS.

Yeah, it may be emo. There may be games with better gameplay (Persona is pretty much standard turn-based PRG fare mixed with summoning), but I play it mainly for the story and the characters. P4 has the best character development I've seen in an RPG so far.

I have heard alot of good things about it, but if I do end up getting it and I am very disappoint... It will be funny... But not as funny as Lucky Shit funny...

Just kinda funny...

...

Meh, at least there isnt this huge OMGFUCKINGWOW hype about it...

Tell me what you like (or dislike, for that matter) in a game and I can say if it's in there or not.

Not sure about the whole hype thing though. GameFAQs boards are swarmed with them =\

There kinda is. If you go to the videogames section and make a thread about "What RPG should I play?", a big percentage of the people posting will be P3&P4 fanboys.

Seriously now, P3 is not THAT good. Battle system is flawed, characters are mediocre, voice acting is pretty sucky. But it's an overall nice game that SHOULD be played if you enjoy rpgs.
Now regarding P4, it is THAT good.

Yeah, gameplay made a huge improvement with P4.

Not being able to control your other party members? What the fuck?

One thing I disliked about P3...

P4 is overall much better. Story has much less plotholed, has very good characters, social links are actually good and enjoyable to go to, battle system improved considerably, etc.

I'd recommend that he plays it, but if he began by P4, playing P3 could be a major pain in the arse.

Uhm yeah, I agree... if he only wanted to pick up one of them, I'd recommend P4 though.

Yes, I spelled it wrong, but that's because it's hard to spell.

besides, if you have read more then 3 of my posts you know my spelling sucks, the fact I only missed one single letter is a considerable accomplishment in of itself

Google is your friend. I get all my stuff now from private trackers. Torrents are your friend too.

Actually... no, it isn't.

Don't be a pedophile, how about you try that.

Wha? o.o?

What is persona?

Kind of related to the topic.

Persona games run fine on a ps2 emulator which you can find here.

I highly recommend using the latest beta emulator and beta plugins which you can find on their forums as it is alot faster and fixes some graphic issues. It also breaks some things so always keep the stable around just in case. Persona 3 has some issues in the main hall on the stable version of pcsx2. Floor flashes alot and it looks really buggy but it won't stop you from finishing the game. It's fine if you can just ignore it. Persona 4 renders perfectly. With the beta plug ins they both run faster but sometimes I noticed slight graphic errors in the floor such as polygons missing. This is not rampart and I still recommend using them over the stable.

PS2 emulator only uses two cores so if you have a dual core cpu you can probably play games at native resolution. Lots of speedhacks and work arounds for slow PCs. Almost no excuse for those who can't get it running other than your pc is an aboslute piece of junk from the early 90s.

You can find Persona iso that I used here.

Persona 3: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4174635/Shin_Megami_Tensei_Persona_3_FES_%5BUSA_-_English_-_PS2DVD%5D

Persona 4: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4565594/Shin_Megami_Tensei_Persona_4_NTSC_PS2DVD-STRiKE

There are undubbed versions out there but the English version is not that bad. Persona 3 audio quality kind of sucks and fuuka sucks but its playable. Persona 4 voice acting is top noch and very well done.

I guess that's all.

Edit: I would read the setup guide if you are confused.

Double Edit: Make sure you find a working bios for the ps2. Google is your friend.
