Out of these three games, where should you start to play the Persona trilogy?

5 Royal is the most beginner friendly.

persona 1 on psp

>>715309414 (OP)
metaphor

>>715309414 (OP)
you don't play the whole trilogy, you pick one and leave the others alone, they're too time-consuming and similar to warrant playing each one.
P5R is the best experience among the three.

>>715309708
After playing metaphor, I find Persona kind of quaint in comparison. I hope Metaphor really does become Atlus 3rd pillar.
>no dating
I never cared about that aspect

>>715309708
no one cares about metaflop.

>>715309414 (OP)
Whichever one looks the most interesting to you. I think 4 is more kino. Small town settings are really underutilised in gaming and it's a shame.

>>715309414 (OP)
P5R was the most fun, even if Morgana is an annoying nigger. Ryuji, Ohya, Ann, and Sojiro are awesome characters, and this game has the best soundtrack of the three.
P3R is a retarded cashgrab that didn't need to exist as FES was right there and deserved to have a proper port to make up for the absolute disaster that was P3P's port.
P4G was fine, I didn't find it to be as amazing as others claim it to be but Teddie made me laugh every once in a while and I fucked the drama club chick so that's a job well done in my eyes.

>>715309708
Zero cultural impact.

>>715309414 (OP)
Certainly not the demake

>>715309414 (OP)
play one of them and move on doesn't really matter honestly just pick what ever draws you.

>>715309414 (OP)
if you plan to play them all, dont play 3 last, it fucking sucks

>>715312767
This except P5

>>715312767
Why

>>715313014
The series started appealing to weird degenerate fetishes as it went on and P3 doesn't have any of that nonsense so it triggers him

My personal favorite is 4 but I’d recommend playing in chronological order. 3 and 4 are phenomenal 5 is just ok.

>>715309414 (OP)
How about you play a real shin megami tensei game faggot

>>715309708
>Have seen zero metaphor merch in my trips to cons
>Still see Haru and Ann Nendos as well as the bigger $300+ figs
Nah. Nobody cares.

>>715312767
I played P3 last (well after P4 and P5, I played P1 and P2 after 3) and I feel like that made me appreciate it more. Playing P4 and P5 together made the fact that they share a formula and structure really apparent, like the calendar is divided up into arcs which each have their own character focused dungeon, which in itself follows the same formula where you have the start dungeon which establishes the concept (rescuing victims/changing hearts of bad guys), two more dungeons which continue the concept, one dungeon which inverts it (pursuing a murderer/changing the heart of a good person), one dungeon which goes back to the initial concept, the next dungeon ramps up the stakes and adds some vocal music, the dungeon after that finally deals with the main human villain and then the god behind it all is revealed and there's one more dungeon to fight them. Like if you look past the graphics and qol differences then P4 and P5 are very similar games, so when I was going into P3 I kind of expected more of the same but the way the story and calendar intersect are quite different.
Rather than having distinct and divided character arcs where you meet a character, they have their awakening moment and then they stay pretty static for the rest of the game they instead have the characters join in an undeveloped state but we see their character arcs span over months so we can see them grow. It's not to everyone's preference but I preferred it to how P4/5 handle characters, and maybe it's because I played it after I was kind of tired of P4/5's way of doing things.

>pic
This isn't fat fetish shit you dick-eating retard. She has all those clothes on because Yusuke wanted to do a nude painting of her and she doesn't want to be nude but needs to buy time for Joker and Ryuji to do shit elsewhere.

>>715315439
>This isn't fat fetish shit
And yet you still goon to it. Curious.

>>715315637
I didn't, but whatever helps you sleep at night. Keep spreading false claims because you can't make up a real argument as to why P5 sucks, all it's gonna do is prove to everyone that you're a faggot.

>>715313658
>started appealing to weird degenerate fetishes as it went on and P3 doesn't have any of that
Yeah because the secret fuuka tickle vid doesn't exist right?

>>715315774
Correct. It wasn't in P3

>>715315875
Yes it was lol you can watch videos of yukari in a maid dress and the aforementioned in the command room.

>>715316126
No, it wasn't. It's literally not in P3

>>715316164
Yes it was you did not play the game lmao.

>>715315774
There's a difference between degenerate shit and shit normal humans do on a daily basis.

>>715316273
I think you're confused. I'm talking about Persona 3, the 2006 ps2 game. It's not in that

>>715316305
Yes it is lol

>Persona 3 FES
educate yourself

>>715309414 (OP)
3 or 5. Definitely not 4.

>>715316361
You can't be this stupid

>>715310856
5 was weird that the non party members like Hifumi, Kawakami, and No Good Tora were way better then most of the party members you spent more time with.

>>715316392
>>715316436
Was it not in vanilla p3, doubt it.

>>715316487
No, it wasn't. It's a FES addition

>>715316584
Well p3fags say its the best version of their game.

>>715316702

>>715309414 (OP)
I just picked up 4 in the Steam sale and having never played any of the others, I like it a lot so far. It feels well written rather than weeb-ish, I like the characters and story and I'm not generally an anime or JRPG kind of guy but I do think its fun. I can't speak to the rest, but this seems like a good place to start if I'm enjoying it.

>>715309414 (OP)
i would play 4 first because the combat does not have the baton pass like 3 reload and 5

Already played SMTV, P5R, P3R, P4G and Metaphor
What now?

>>715309414 (OP)
4 is the best. 3,4,5, and Metaphor have a weird thing where the first 40% is pretty good and then it becomes mediocre up until the last 15% of the game where it goes back to good. 4 does this the least though.

>>715313658
Mitsuru literally only exists for femdom fags and Aigis spawn a bunch of robophiles

>>715317575
So normal shit men with high test enjoy, not fetishes

>>715309414 (OP)
4 cuz it's the best

>>715309414 (OP)
do not start with any version of 3. that game hits way harder once you've experienced the other two... but when you do play 3, play P3R, ignore the contrarians. it's the definitive version.

there really is no wrong answer between 4 Golden, 5 Royal, and even vanilla 5 isn't a bad option to start.

>>715319806
>but when you do play 3, play P3R

>>715318581
>femdom
>high test

Play Revelations:Persona on the PS1

>>715317575
>Mitsuru literally only exists for femdom fags
Mitsuru is just a domineering personality, there's no femdom in P3
There is however femdom in P5, and that's loli shit too so you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of degenerate fetishes

>>715320476
you can date your teacher and ken in p3

>>715320661
>you can date your teacher
Not a fetish, again just something all normal men who have had hot teachers want to do
>Femc
lol
You're just proving the point that Persona games have gotten more degenerate as time as gone on

>>715320837
You can literally date a guy in P2 stop coping p3cuck

>>715309414 (OP)
Soul hackers 2

>>715320897
Being gay isn't a fetish it's a sexuality

>>715309414 (OP)
P5R, then P4G, then play those both again, then go play Stellar Blade or something.

Go play P3R when you run out of literally anything else to do.

>>715321337
True, P4 and P5 are the pinnacle of writing in JRPGs
