My stance on Rival-ships (which usually are the fujo-shit ones) is they are only acceptable if one of the characters either has always been a woman or is turned into one.

Like it seems to use a battle system similart to Kotor or xenoblade but not really

Wouldn't know, never played it but did do some digging on it.
If the fan hosted officially dead MMO servers are anything to go by as a metric of fan provided life support, probably not.

Its an MMO without any players but the mods and admins are relatively nice and lax and will often help new players with some starting gear then never hear from them again.

It basically plays like an alpha version of PSO2 mixed with Kotor from what I've seen.

Between SMT5 and P3 Dancing, they have all the important models at least for a P3 Remake - if they were to just update graphics (mostly character models, generic backgrounds) and leave everything else untouched, they could probably shit that out within a year.

As much as I'd like to see P1 and P2 get a re-release or remake, I know better than to hope. Might as well keep it reasonable with P3

They recycled some of those models for P5R with the p3 and p4 protagonist bonus fights in the velvet room.

y'know, I never did wind up doing those Challenge Battles - moslty becasue I was going out of my way to see just how much I could break the game using Yoshitsune (turns out, Null or Drain everything except Gun and Almighty)

I should really get around to replaying P5R - I haven't really touched it since getting the Plat, which was stupidly easy compared to vanilla...

Nowadays its pretty ok, gameplay wise for an MMO, its adaptations of the SMT gameplay to tab target are kinda jank but using demons and shit is fun


It was kinda garbage back in the day because Aeria games ruined it in the west with F2P P2W shit, but most of the new fan servers have all the JP content and P2W shit up for free, and stuff to reduce the grind

I didnt bother to finish vanilla and wound up not liking p5 as much. had a laughable amount of character customization for metaverse costumes of the characters. The game was delayed for 4 years and it was 2017 when it initially came out.

We are no longer in the dark age of the 2000's. Even then, contemporary JRPGs had more appearance variety than persona 3 and 4. No excuse for that option even being in the game if there's 1 maybe 2 alternate outfits per playable character. Including paid DLC. and were too lazy to even just copy paste P3D/P5D's customization over for the re-release of P5, P5R. (P5R came out at least a year later than those games)

Was more understandable to have a lack of player customization in P3/4 because their outfit didn't just change into a completely different costume when summoning a persona or entering the metaverse but P5 is just bullshit.

Not sure anyone has posted about this yet, but I'm replaying Devil Survivor and it's weird as hell post-COVID.

I recommend checking it out if you haven't, especially if you can play the remake (it actually has a compendium feature, which is worth it alone.) It reminds me of the first Persona where it's rough around the edges but that just contributes to the whole oppressive atmosphere.

Devil Survivor: Tokyo's Locked Down and God's Mad About Fake News

Yeah I'm not a fan of persona 1... I wouldnt call it a bad game just veryb archaic and tedious and the only characters I really like so far are Nanjo and Yukino (though in the case of the latter it's more for how she is in persona 2 since I'm going with Brown for this playthrough.

If persona 4 had too few attack types p1 has too fucking many... from what I've played of it, p2 is the best in terms of attack type variety followed closely by 3 and 5

Persona 5 has all of these and more, including grenade launchers. But the melee and ranged weapons are just character specific. Same as 3.
They spent most of the resources and time on the visuals since the battle system was already there and just tweaked a bit.

I was referring mainly to separating guns back into their own seperate damage category as well as bringing back nuclear, bless, miracle, as well as the debut o psy... As for persona 3 I was referring to the fact that it has 3 categories of physical attacks which I feel is the right amount... Its not as autisticly complex as 1 but it isn't like 4 and to a lesser extent five where the streamlining causes physical attacks to lose some viability
