>you will never play Persona 4 for the first time again while being a teenager as the main characters
:(!

This weird, aggressive push to make Persona seen as just a friend simulator must be done by asshurt western devs or something.

I wish when I die I could be isekai’d to persona 4 as the protagonist so I can romance rise and hang out with bros for real. The characters would be ai so it wouldn’t be immoral

There just aren't any RPGs like Persona 4 and Persona 5 where it comes out, you play and within like 2 hours you are just fully invested and can't stop playing. All these new JRPG releases, I'm playing and looking for the right time to stop for the day

>>722943873 (OP)
Tell me why you did it

>>722943873 (OP)
some days i feel bad for wasting literal months of my teenage years on games, then i remember JRPGs like persona and yakuza exist

>>722943873 (OP)
I thought it sucked as a teen and I only finished it because the stupid Vita had no other fucking games. If I wanted to pretend to be a bored teenager in the middle of nowhere I could have just walked outside.

Persona 5 was my first Persona game and I was 25 at the time. Now I'm 33 about to start up 3 reload.

I remember when I bought a Swap Magic DVD for my ps2 to play pirated games.
I lived in a shithole of a country without a money to buy original games.
I downloaded Persona 3 FES and then Persona 4 because they were high on a some sort of "good jrpg games for a ps2".
What a treat it was, cant be replicated today really

>want to get into JRPGs back in 2016
>only JRPGs I've liked up until this point are Star Ocean 2 and the Paper Mario games if you want to count those
>some anon mentions that I might like Persona since that also has a friendship/lovers system like SO2
>sure why not
>buy P3FES on my PS3
>hooked on it like crack
>play P4 immediately after
>then P5 comes out a few weeks after I finish P4

In the span of like 3 months I went from someone who would've said they couldn't get into JRPGs to being a filthy Personafag, but it did work as my gateway drug into the genre, I've played a bunch of games from the genre since then.
Thanks random anon, you changed my life in some small way.

>you will never be a teenager who gets to have sex again

I get the exteme nostalgia for 4 because of the comfy small town and it was every newfags first persona but 3 and 5 are so much better, any version (except portable).

>>722943873 (OP)
I did. And i still love P3 more.

Fuck the demake too

>for the first time again
i havent even played persona 4 for the first time for the first time

>5

>>722943873 (OP)
Correct. Because i was 28 when that game came out.

>>722944284
I'm not a fan of modern anime, and i'm 2 to 3 times older than the demographic of these games.
But i sure as shit loved them, they drew me in completely.
