there are people that only experience P3 through Portable
Grim.
There are people that only experience P3 through Portable
Impressive.
Nice
Finally, a good fucking thread.
I played the ps2 game and now on the switch :) Did I miss anything but femc slops trannies malded being cut?
Yes I did, got me into SMT
At least they experienced P3. People who've played Reload only can't say the same lol.
There's people that played the Undub version of P3 with JP audio and English subs. It also changes most of the music and ruins all the vibes
It always makes me cringe when FeMcultsts try to convince people to play portable as their first experience
There are 0 good Persona games.
As someone that has played every single version, the autism around Reload is so boring. It's a fine way to play the game and I'd sure as fuck suggest it over the Trannycore portable version that people only give a fuck about because of the dumb shallow gender switch.
Actually they CAN say the same dipshit and I'm tired of pretending like they can't. God you faggots are going to be insufferable when Persona 4 Remake gets announced in a couple of weeks.
smt if is the best persona game
Sad that you believe what you type.
Witnessed
best Anon Babble dating sim ever made
grim
yeah, no
for once, OP was not a faggot
I kneel, OP
SMT4 remake
It's not that I think that won't happen exactly but what would the point be since Persona 4 Golden already exists?
Shinji's death in Reload is the best version.
SMT If is just a bad game that does a few cool things
At least they experienced P3.
Sad that you still live in your mother's basement and get all your gaming opinions from your favorite clickbait Youtubers. As somebody who has a girlfriend, trust me when I say you need to get laid faggot.
What was the point of the P3 remake when there's already two different "extended" versions of the fucking game that the remake didn't even actually surpass?
P5 did so well and probably 95% of the people who played it never played 3 or 4.
that the remake didn't even actually surpass?
It did. And it was to have both good combat and the actual graphics and playability bumped up. But you know that and are just being a disingenuous faggot
Checked.
played the original
missed the 3d animations because I only looked at the portraits and text
bros... should i pretend to have been a portablefag to cope?
wtf happened to weird al?
Is he wrong though? Persona 3 Reload is a way to play persona 3. You are just being a hipster
graphics
don't fucking care
playability
maybe if you're a retard, which it sounds like you are
found the femc troon kekekekekek
whats your opinion on fes vs original?
I know in persona 4 and 5 releases, they added an extra girl and made the story revolve around her, even if it ruined the themes of the original plot. but I have no information on persona 3 and how fes was handled.
>there are people that only experience P3 through Retarded
we truly live in the bad timeline
How do I get Reservation at Dorsia with Mitsuru?
everyone cries about the answer being DLC
they play the answer and realize it fucking sucks and reload is better off with it not being part of the main game
kek
FeMC actually makes sense being portable exclusive because I remember only women had portables, ds, psps etc back in the day
isakogods...I kneel.......
not being part of the main game
Ackchoually, it's literally in your game files even if you only bought the base game.
One 6
What was the point of P3R being made?
Ken and Koromaru were useless as party members
Fuuka had a laughably ill-fitted voice actress
Brain-dead AI controlled party members ONLY
Game was a tonally confused mess that didn't know whether it wanted to be another SMT spin-off or its own unique thing separate from SMT
Couldn't be just friends with the girls
Could reverse SLs without warning (Yukari Rank 5 event says hello)
Maxxing out all the SLs was next to impossible (Mitsuru says hello)
Tartarus was an absolute slog to get through
Had fuck all to do at night after maxxing out social stats and the two night time SLs
No manual skill inherit during persona fusion
Episode Aigis was a slog and was locked to hard difficulty because fuck you, that's why
Yukari was a stuck up bitch in the English dub
Akihiko was a meathead in the English dub
[Reserved in case somebody comes up with any other criticisms of PS2 Persona 3]
Gee, I wonder why ATLUS remade Persona 3 after almost twenty years since release...
no wonder it's so creamapiable
I am willing to defend reload on being a valid way to experience Persona 3 on it's own but the ending to the story being DLC you pay for separately especially when it was originally packaged with the main game in fes for free is bullshit and you know it.
no fucking way
persona 3 was the most requested remake in every atlus poll for years
why would they remake this?
I am willing to defend PS2 Persona 3 on being a valid way to experience Persona 3 on its own, but the epilogue to the story being exclusive to FES that you had to pay separately for if you owned vanilla or Portable is bullshit and you know it
FTFY
Very good OP
Aww, would you look at that, faggot?
Now post your fucking copy.
Where is the Reload version of this picture?
Yukari was a stuck up bitch in the English dub
Akihiko was a meathead in the English dub
people love that though. it gave them lots of character. I have never heard anyone say that the japanese characterization was better and more colorful. always the opposite.
Yup. Shinji, in general, is so much better in reload it's honestly unreal.
Post your PS4 games I can see the top of the cases of you fucking rent boy faggot.
very nice
Nice get
TSMT
yup JP purists are retarded everytime they screech about changes to muh glorious folded over 9000 times nihon script it's every memorable, funny or cool scene ever vs a dry soulless generic unmemorable boring original
NTA
but I have no information on persona 3 and how fes was handled.
P3 is basically indistinguishable from FES. For the main story, all they really changed was that some skills cost more SP and some less. They also gaver Aigis her own social link. The big thing is the answer. FES barely touched the actual story or the game in general other than doing some basic balancing.
i kneel. tell me what to do OP
not calling yourself checkmy without the 5 so it's check my 3
Check yourself.
doesn't even own a copy of P3
Shit, bro. It's my least favorite persona and I own it.
Not only are you probably not white, but now you're also mad lmao.
This. I couldn't take his death seriously because he got reduced to a block of swiss cheese then awkwardly stumbled towards S.E.E.S. Having him throw himself at Ken and then dying in Akihiko's arms while surrounded by the rest of S.E.E.S and petting Koromaru in Reload made much more sense and heightened the melancholic drama of his senseless death at the hands of Takaya. Chidori's death in Reload is also the best version largely because of Junpei's new VA nailing his character's reaction to it all.
masaka...
holy shit take my reddit gold now!!
nta, FES is better in every regard. The gameplay additions added a lot of qol and improved the overall playability of the game and the story additions helped fleshout the cast without flanderizing them and even you hated the new story additions they were entirely ignorable unlike Marie. The only stupid thing is with Chidori, but unless you look it up you will probably never see it anyway.
Game was a tonally confused mess that didn't know whether it wanted to be another SMT spin-off or its own unique thing separate from SMT
How was persona 3 anything alike SMT tonally?
Couldn't be just friends with the girls
yes you can
Could reverse SLs without warning (Yukari Rank 5 event says hello)
Some girls don't like sexist assholes and if you are one it makes total sense why they would not like you after that
Yukari was a stuck up bitch in the English dub
Akihiko was a meathead in the English dub
So you just hate characters for having a personality?
Muh anecdotal experience is FACT
Nigga please. Let's not pretend that PS2 Yukari and Akihiko in the English Dub were given Oscar worthy performances or anything. You're also showing off your power level by being discriminatory towards the Japanese by preferring a dub that was very much a product of its time rather than being true to the original Japanese script. In fact, pic related is you because I can just tell the doctor dropped you on your head at birth. That or your alchoholic mother beat you with a belt growing up and that's why you got butthurt over valid criticism of your heavily flawed PS2 jRPG game.
Don't argue with zoomers about voice acting, they think everything should sound like a Marvel movie instead of the naturalism of the 00s anime dub aesthetic which is obviously superior in most cases.
platonic relationships with boys and most girls, romantic relationship with a specific girl
What are talking about? You are forced to romance all girls after getting them to a specific rank in their social link. You can't romance a "specific" girl unless you don't do their social link. Also, "most girls" does not include Maiko, a fucking child, Toriumi, a fucking adult woman, and Munkichi (I think), a fucking elderly woman who is a married.
preferring a dub that was very much a product of its time
comfy kino
rather than being true to the original Japanese script
nauseating boring weebslop for incels
what's wrong with reload? haven't played it yet
first good thread on Anon Babble in 15 years
Ken and Koromaru were useless as party members
Ken is unironically one of the best party members in the game. Him being bad is a meme ar this point. Koromaru is kind of ass, but has niches in certain boss fights and floors due to his resists.
Brain-dead AI controlled party members ONLY
Bro, jut use tactics memory. It's not hard.
I'll never understand why they blew their load on Portable before P3R and didn't just implement some of Portable's additions into Reload.
Anyway it's moot because FES is unfortunately still the best experience.
>Couldn't be just friends with the girls
platonic relationships with boys and most girls, romantic relationship with a specific girl. I really don't see the problem with this
the doctor did not infact drop me on my head. I was just born to a mother in her 40s. dont confuse the source of my power level.
shut the fuck up faggot. weebshit is the fuel of my soul.
was the openning/ending song changed? or did they keep that the same?
I wouldn’t call them “people”.
They’re trying to “crack” peoples “eggs”.
was the openning/ending song changed?
They changed the opening, but it's fine, because it's arguably the best OP they've ever done.
being true to the original Japanese script.
Japanese is a completely incompatible language with English as far as direct translation goes. If you want it to sound Japanese, learn Japanese, if you're playing the English language version, don't get upset when it's been translated to sound natural in English.
Your autism is the shit that leads to people translating Griffith as "Grifasu" because that's how the Japs pronounce it, even though they are just saying "Griffith" and would translate it as such themselves if they could just figure out how to say it properly.
OHNONONONO FEMCTRANNYS our response????
I imported an American PS2 along with a transformer in order to play Persona 3 FES
SS
Hitler is in Persona 2, not Persona 3.
The original opening alternates in FES
fantranslations have managed to make languages sound japanese for 3 decades before official degreehavers shat up the scene.
*le sigh* really? we're going there.... I don't even play female mc as I'm a guy, so like, wouldn't you naturally assume all who play her are actually, oh, I don't know... Women? I swear you Gen Zers are just so dim and bigoted...
Nothing, its just contrarian faggots who still think its 2011 and that TORtanic is a glorious event that needs repeating every single time a new high profile game gets announced. That's all it is really. When Persona 4 Remake gets announced soon, we can expect another several months long TORtanic campaign regardless of whether P4R is good or bad when it releases because heaven forbid a company dares to *gasp* improve upon on some things in a remake.
the best improvement they could do on p4r would be to remove chie entirely
The only thing I hope for is JYB stays as Adachi.
was the openning/ending song changed? or did they keep that the same?
Ending song is the same. It has a new OP showing off FES exclusive stuff, but the old OP is still viewable if you wait on the title screen for a bit.
what's wrong with reload?
Nothing
Fagtranslators get mad when the Evangelion subtitles say "Third Child" instead of "Third Children" when referring singularly to Shinji Ikari, because weebs are fucking stupid and obsessed with Japan even if makes them sounds like retards.
By "sounding Japanese" you mean "sounding completely stupid and unnatural in the language it's been translated to" which is not what a translation is.
It would be like translating a gendered object in Spanish to English by referring to the chair as "her" instead of "the chair".
Why all the replies? I don't get it...
Holy fuarking IMPROVEMENT those dumbass entitled pissbaby japanese that made the original have nothing on our new gen outsourced JEETchads
they ruined the atmosphere? that kind of sucks because it was the best thing about p3
lurk more newcutie
remove one of the most based characters in the game
faggot
every example is based england is a bastard language that needs to be destroyed to tatters and nobody speak it ever again to revenge waht they did to mother Bharat.
based
scared of bugs
even nanako alpha-dogs chie, bro
Oh noooooooo, they dared to give proper lighting so that you can see what you're doing now not to mention the Dark Hour has a sickly green hue anyway.
literally the most annoying character in the franchise. yukari is a close second.
Of the three languages I mentioned, only one is "based england"
Lets you know how she'd be like as a giantess if you were tiny or she grew huge
Not based
Name ANY other purse owner/ shit megaman tendies girl that could compete in sizecoomery?
YOU MOTHERFUCKER
I was only joking before but you've convinced me, I hate Chie now
whoa that's cool
but whos laughing NOW?
other two languages better and when translated into debased english SHOULD sound more like them
b-but unnatural
English is the peasant language that must bow for all others but is not allowed to change an inch of the original context
I've played every version and Portable is unironically the best.
femanon show bob
Tried to get the Hexa4
Almost
P3R > P3P > FES > P3
Are the faggot who wouldn't post his copy of P3 earlier?
proper lighting
dude colour filters lmao
Why did they add so much green? isn't the next persona gonna be green?
No, i don't have ps2 i have psp and switch so no ps2 if you are the man showing ps2 box, sorry im not your friend
There some people who only experienced 4 through The Golden which is the worst way, but that's just how things are
some people
you're describing most people who played P4
which is the worst way, b
NOPE you are wrong SIR
this
literally nobody had a vita, half the world had a ps2, what
looks fucking terrible. genuinely the worst looking persona game of them all. Most gamers literally do not have an eye for proper lighting. Makes sense why they REALLY hate raytracing.
*facepalm*
reddit tracing is slop btw
Hahahaha, I will now post a screenshot compilation and cherrypick things to own my opponent in an ultimately meaningless internet argument, that'll show him!
You have to be incredibly dense to assume "colour filters lmao" when really it shows how far video game development technology has advanced since the PS2 days that we can now display a wider variety of colors on screen including proper lighting that helps set the tone for whatever is happening at the moment.
To better reflect the other-worldly nature of the Dark Hour, duh.
Oh, that massive SMT audience in the west that existed 20 years ago? Hilarious.
And P4G has been out on Steam and PSN and the Microsoft store or whatever it's called for years now. Like right before or right after P5 came out.
Yeah that's what I meant! Life sucks!
Marie sucks SAR
call for 0, get a 5
call for 5, get a 0
Every single fucking time
zoomers are truly retarded, jesus christ. You know the world existed before you were born and people did things, right?
I mean, nobody is going to jump through hoops to play the PS2 version of Persona 4 even if the fog effects are more present in that version when Golden readily exists on Steam and there's a mod to add back in the fog effects from PS2 Persona 4
I'm 31 and I'm telling you that the sales of P4G dwarf the sales of the original P4.
it shows how far video game development technology has advanced since the PS2 days that we can now display a wider variety of colors on screen including proper lighting
Are you doing this on purpose?
the sales of assassins creed shadows dwarf the ones of assassins creed 1, your point?
There's basically no difference between the two, you disingenuous niggerfaggot.
When I played it I kept being impressed how expressive everything was despite the graphical limitations.
Your point?
That most people have experienced the game via P4G than the original. Which is what I said, and you replied with
nobody owned a vita!
Because you don't realize that's it's on Steam and every single console now, and has been for years, and now you're trying to weasel out of the hole you dug for yourself.
There's basically no difference between the two
bait used to be belivable
Nigga, it looks like they didn't pay the electric bill in PS2 Persona 3 at Iwatodai Dorm
I kneel
Some fog being removed doesn't make it an entirely new fucking game the same way portable and reload are to fes.
You keep saying people, zoomers aren't people.
Some fog being removed
If only it stopped at that.
Are you not aware that Golden added an entirely new girl and like 2 extra months and a new dungeon and an epilogue?
yeah anon marie is just a figment of my imagination
If you want to argue that some effects look better in the original, you would be correct.
However, if you want to try to argue that the original is good, whereas golden is ruined it, you are in for a fucking slaughter.
Don't reply to people if you're a retard.
posts the one screenshot proving him right
anon i...
Imagines Persona 5 graphics and rainy day weather effects in P4R
My fucking bad for not remembering oh poor poor marie.
The game is still the same.
Fucking kys.
I was there, I played the shitty persona 1 burger edition on launch and liked it
Takes away all the intrigue and mystery of a game built on that, fun!
There is, imagine having a story where suddenly the worst OC comes in and takes over everything and inserts herself in the most Mary sue way possible, that's the golden! retard
The game is still fundamentally the same. You can ignore marie entirely, and the story would play out the exact same way as in the original.
Stop getting pissy like a woman when your incorrect nonsense gets corrected.
The only two persona boards are just people shit flinging over different versions of the game and waifu wars
what the fuck is wrong with you people?
How is it proving him right to show that the PS2 game rendered shadows in the dorm and the PS5 game does not?
generational wars, people will argue the version they played first was better regardless if true or not
Marie does not change the story, you fucking retard nigger. You can literally ignore her if you want and it changes nothing.
Impressive, very nice
is it that bright all the time?
p3 is supposed to be a gloomy emo fest
5 CHUNGUS
Digits on this board feel so fake since repeating digits get skipped
People have nothing better to do until Persona 4 Rewind or whatever the remake is going to be called gets announced in a couple of weeks at Summer Games Fest 2025 and then all of the TORtanicfags will come crawling out of the woodwork like they did with P3R two years ago now and chronically shitpost about how "bad" or "soulless" P4R will supposedly be until it releases and if P3R is any indication, it won't stop there because god forbid people enjoy things anymore in the 2020s. Even games people actually liked such as Expedition 33 weren't safe from all the TORtanicfags doomposting.
You can't ignore her, she shows up all the time. That's like saying you could ignore Margaret if you wanted to. You could not ever go to her menu and never pay attention when she chimes in, but there's also literally forced cutscenes where you're alone with her and have conversations
defending inferior version of an existing product instead of asking lazy company to make new product
the absolute state
They put a grey colour filter over it in January and that's it. It's in permanent fullbright mode regardless.
Nigga, I said it looks like they forgot to pay the electric bill in PS2 Persona 3 at Iwatodai Dorm. Way to prove my point about advancements in game development technology since the mid 2000s. I know school is now out for the summer, but do contain yourself zoomerfag.
same problem with people shitting on ff x hd having dead pan faces and bad eyes
ff x hd and persona 4 golden were ps2 games (meant for tv) that were remade for vita (tiny 5 inch handheld screen) a shit ton of things had to be sacrificed (vita was weaker? and the lack of storage meant things couldnt be hi-def)
just because it was released later and with more content doesnt mean it wasnt a port to a weaker system.
she shows up all the time.
She shows up in the very beginning and that's that. So long as you don't start her social link, her presence is negligible. She doesn't drop her shitty poetry, and you aren't forced to do her shitty dungeon. All she will do is sit on her ass in the velvet room and that's that.
You could not ever go to her menu and never pay attention when she chimes in,
Oh, wow. This is so terrible. If you want to use the skill card mechanic, yeah, you have to interact with her in a minimal capacity. Go fucking figure, you absolute retard.
but there's also literally forced cutscenes where you're alone with her and have conversations
In the very fucking beginning of the fucking 100 hour long game, you absolute fucking braindead retard nigger.
Marie's influence on the story is nada if you don't do her social link.
I just fact checked this ESL faggot because "his" tone is very annoying to me, and Marie's social link starts automatically
Implying ATLUS is "lazy" when they released Persona 3 Reload, SMT V Vengance, and Metaphor ReFantazio just last year and so far this year, Persona 5 X is getting a global release on top of the impending announcement of Persona 4 Remake and, if we're lucky, a Persona 6 teaser.
Here's your sign anon.
"P4G has negligible differences!"
entire adachi s link
p5x has absolutely nothing to do with atlus you retarded frog poster
Brain-dead AI controlled party members ONLY
I've been keeping my party members on Act Freely in the ever game past FES. Game gets way too fucking easy otherwise
rendered shadows
nah those are painted on to the texture maps
Also you proved his claim right by showing how much brighter and vivid the colors are
quite funny how golden spoils the game because they assumed everyone played the original
Check my 5 san that's a pretty impressive post, but check my 6
nd Marie's social link starts automatically
No, it doesn't. Margaret tells you Marie has a request for you. If you, then, ask Marie what her request is, and you accept going on a date or whatever, her social link starts. It isn't automatic, you fucking retard nigger.
If you want people to respond to (You), maybe you should have the balls to actually reply to them instead of being a fucking bitch about, huh.
Is Portable really that bad? I was thinking of playing that next. I guess I can always go grab the FES rom instead.
Yes, not only was it a compromised version of the PS2 game so that it could run on a handheld, FeMC doesn't add much to the story overall and in her route, Shinjiro somehow lives if you max out his SL which goes against the point of the themes of Persona 3 and how his death leads to Akihiko and Ken's character development and subsequent Persona evolutions.
that thumb
Why aren’t you black?
As a p3p only fag until now and thinking it's okay, I feel bad
I'll atone some day
feMCtroon?
I'll wait until reload is like half off. I've played fes before so honestly there's no rush to get reload
No I only beat it once normally and didn't go back for ng+ with femc
Way too many other games on my vita
And Fuuka is olev anyways
Based and correct.
you are such a cuck it is unreal. "Yes daddy Atlus take all of my money instead of packaging the whole thing. I like giving you my money"
Feel free to stop speaking English, Baljeet, and leave this site forever.
Based AGP-anon.
the game isn’t the same but the game is still the same
Why is it so hard for people on this board to admit that they were wrong about something? There is no shame in doing it.
People praise demakes to the point it's actually pathetic.
B-B-But it's the only way I can play it!!!
Then shut the fuck up you fucking nigger
How
The way the shadows are rendered does not matter one bit when the desired effect is achieved.
has to be a hack of some kind. a hacker known as Anon Babble or something
Are there any reasons to play P3P besides femc? I know you can make Shinji live or something, but is it just story beats?
God damn
Impressive
There is literally no reason other than that and femc is shit anyway
stfu
Are there any reasons to play P3P besides femc?
Not a single one. You can get manual party control but you can already do that in the PS2 versions with a cheat code. On the other hand P3P locks the player to only slashing weapons because they couldn't be bothered making more animations for FeMC so party composition flexibility is reduced.
I know you can make Shinji live or something, but is it just story beats?
It's only when playing as FeMC and he just goes into a coma instead and everything plays out the same except that he was up for one minute during the ending.
No. It’s custom built for agp freaks.
AIslop defending reload
LMAO
Nice.
I don't like Persona 3 at all though.
checked
AIGIS, no! When Ken was talking about Anon Babble, that wasn’t what he meant!
Here from Anon Babble to witness a glorious GET.
i knew some retard would only reply to that. it was not a defense of raytracing.
Just played P3P on my vita and I dont get why people cry over this port its perfectly fine played both the male mc and femc routes and they are fun. The only thing you miss out on is the answer and spoiler alert it is not worth your time.
I am CHECKING that FIVE
FES followed by femc is the best order
>Ken and Koromaru were useless as party members
what? ken is busted.
Yukari was a stuck up bitch in the English dub
Akihiko was a meathead in the English dub
They were great wtf are you talking about the only kinda bad voice actor was whoever did fuuka.
Impressive. Very nice.
Still better than this.
At least it's P3.
which, R is not.
m
Unfortunately persona 2, innocent sin, was always the best in the series. It was still at the threshold where it was a lighter version of smt, but not the full cringe that persona became. Anyways check this 2
Impressive.
Very nice.
If you can do it... THEN SO CAN I !!
TOTAL SHADOW DEATH
Ebin. Well played
HOLY
I fucking kneel
P3R's dorm specifically looks like complete dogshit, that's just objective fact.
It's like they forgot to place proper lighting in this particular area and never went back to check, other maps look much better. Which is baffling considering it's the singular location you probably spend the most time it.
Otherwise it's a straight up upgrade over the original and FES.
m-masaka...
