YOO THATS THE SONG I USE IN MY FRONT PAGE VIDEO! I LOVE PERSONA 3!

Wait seriously? What were the odds lmao
I still have to finish Persona 5 and 4 so I didn't play it yet but I love listening to its soundtrack lol, my favorites are Burn My Dread (both normal and last battle), Mass Destruction, Iwatodai Dorm and Wiping All Out from Persona 3 Portable. And Full Moon Full Life from Reload if we're counting it?
Anyway Makoto looks cool AF. Love his headphones and his look is so edgy 2000s emo omg. And pointing a gun at your head to summon your Persona? How cool is that? It's one of those of those cases when you haven't played a game but you already know you're gonna like it lol. Love the 2000s vibe and it looks like the most serious and edgy out of P3/4/5

You were feeling fine, catching the flow of the lyrics and music.

I don't know what you mean by "you were feeling fine" but I guess it's a compliment? so thank you lol

[ciro64]

I know the pain of getting hit up by like 6 dudes across my lifetime but not a single woman. I'm just not into men. It sucks lol.

A guy was into me but I didn't correspond because my bisexuality isn't 50/50 so I know a little how you feel

Which version of Persona 3 are you going to play? They all have pretty incredible music, different genres too. Persona 4 is my favorite but they all have their upsides. 3 does feel a little dated at this point, although oddly enough I've barely played the remake of 3 that came out last year. It does have a couple new bangers though.

Persona 3 FES, pretty sure about it. It has this dark 2000s vibe Reload doesn't really have. Yeah Reload has quite a bit of QOL improvements but tbh I don't care. And Persona 3 FES soundtrack is better imho, but I never properly listened to Reload's soundtrack outside Full Moon Full Life. And retro gaming is pretty cool.

 

[Antilocal123]

Imagine not being bisexual. You guys will never know the joy of being rejected twice as much

Luckily, I've only been rejected by one gender, take that!

I think the biggest issue for me with it is people assuming you’re gay, happens all the time and I never understood it, like, just because I'm Bi doesn't mean I'm gonna be attracted to you?!

Persona 3 has it's darker themes of death and rebirth, both physical and spiritual, baked into it's art direction of eye-catching but muted blues and blacks. Reload has some of that in your face flash of Persona 5, but that just doesn't work for 3. 5 is youthful, hot blooded and rebellious! 3 is a bit slower and more somber..pervy beach scenes not withstanding.

I get frustrated by the bi-erasure stuff personally. People think you're either Hetero and going though a phase, or Gay and in denial. I'm 33, pretty sure it's not a phase at this point.

Yeah, exactly! I love Persona 5's aesthetic and graphics but they definitely don't fit P3 imho. Also, while remakes are cool, original PS2 Persona 3 is how the game was originally conceived, intended and built, so I'd like to play it as Atlus originally intended. FES builds on top of that and adds stuff, while Reload remakes it to fit newer times. They're both good approaches but I prefer the OG retro way lol

I'm into femboys, normal & trans girls & furries.

That makes me a lot of things. lol

Imagine feeling attraction towards real-life people. Couldn't possibly be me.

i wonder why, people think that of you? > : )

I don't understand it solely on the fact that usually their fine with homosexuality, if you’re content with believing in same-sex attraction…why is both-sex attraction suddenly unbelievable?!

I haven't played far enough into Reload, but that makes sense. Even the menu animations feel really jarring, not only compared to Persona 3 but even compared to Persona 5. It's a little too busy. The game has this layer of gloss that feels at odds with the dark tone of the story. Of course, I haven't beaten it so I can't say how things are later in the game.

That's fair, I missed out on vanilla P3 and only played FES and Portable before Reload. Same with Persona 4, I didn't play the original game, only Golden. I did play Persona 5, and definitely prefer Royal. Some of the changes they make to these "director's cut" versions feel more aimed for existing Persona players than new fans, adding a little more variety to things and getting rid of some of the tedium. Having to keep setting up a fusion in Persona 3, for example, to get the skills inherited that I want, instead of just being able to pick from a list, doesn't add anything for me. I didn't mind not being able to control my other party members, but once you get used to having full control it does feel like losing it just adds unnecessary extra time to things. I suppose at this point we are a long way from the Shin Megami Tensei origins of the series. Even from what I've played through in SMT V Vengeance so far, it feels a lot easier than the 40 hours I played of vanilla SMT V.

FES is basically vanilla with more stuff. Most consider vanilla to be redundant now.

Reload is just a lot brighter because it was kind of a rushed game meant to train new Atlus staff for Persona 6 so they didn't pay much attention to the art direction of the game, I don't think they were trying to make it look like Persona 5 on purpose.l (at least with the enviroments, the menus were 100% meant to copy Persona 5's)

 

[fake-kun]

Alright crodie you’ve yanked your meat to Bass we get it. /j

I know you're joking, but this is actually kinda disgusting to me because I see Bass as a teenager.

A lot of people just like things to be neat and binary, black and white. Applies to a lot of things, really.

Haven't even played it but based on the screenshots I happened to see it I see your point

Yeah I always play the "perfectioned" versions too. I played Royal over regular Persona 5, Golden over normal Persona 4 and gonna play FES over regular Persona 3. There's just no reason not to, really, they're literally the same games but with different OPs and improved and/or added stuff.

I suppose at this point we are a long way from the Shin Megami Tensei origins of the series. Even from what I've played through in SMT V Vengeance so far, it feels a lot easier than the 40 hours I played of vanilla SMT V.

Yeah, Persona 3 was what marked the difference between the SMT and the Persona series. Haven't played Megaten games and not really interested atm, but Persona games are among my favorite games ever lol

@-Ruri- Wanna watch the Persona 3 Movies together over Discord stream sometime? I have them downloaded and still need to watch them.
