The dancing games are so depressing to me. Because they could be one of my favorite things ever. I love rhythm games, Persona has some great music, the characters get to have stylish new outfits, and the first game even had Rise--my favorite character--as the main protagonist!
But the story mode was a complete waste of time that did absolutely nothing interesting with any of the characters (it was mostly filled with cliche drivel), and now the sequels are leaning even more heavily to the DLC and fanservice that was present in P4DAN.

Because at heart that's the way the Persona games themselves are, as much as we like to pretend otherwise
Only if you think they start with 3.
I'm neither versed enough to speak knowledgably regarding nor interested enough to do the research required to have a conversation about a state of the series as it was twenty years ago
Maybe Persona games ain't used to be that way. That's fine! That's sure as shit what Persona is now. That's Persona. That's a statement of right now, and the way things used to be in the old millennium ain't got nothing to do with nobody as of right this minute.

Thanks for making me feel old. I bought P1 when it came out.
And maybe not, but it'd be nice if the creators took a step and said 'hey, pandering isn't necessary for sales'.
Sadly, they're probably wrong... but it'd be nice.

Is this the part where I pull open my ribcage and show you the Ogre Battle cartridge where my heart used to be, or what
But yeah, I agree, it would be very nice if the people who have their hands on the wheel would step back and away from their weird regressive pro-conformity misogynist bullshit, but I don't think that's going to happen unless we get a real changing of the guard

It might happen with 6, given that Hashino is stepping back to do Re-Fantasy, but I really doubt it. Even SMTIV and the remake of SJ have gone full anime.
Ok, saying the gameplay of P3 is the one you want to copy is how we know you're doing a bit.
I've always said 3 is my favorite of the new games, this is nothing new. 4 had good ideas but is largely a retread, 5 is where it finally started getting stale.
3 is easily the most challenging, probably why I like it the most.
3 has a controversial thing where you don't have full party control. It was made optional in P3P, 4, and 5. You can assign tactics instead, or let them act on their own. The latter usually leads to silly things like Mitsuru attempting to charm enemies when the MC has ridiculously low health. (This can usually be avoided by having them on modes like full assault or support. Usually.)
Also has the toughest super boss in the series, since you have to fight her solo.
I always use party control in the later games, but I never had any issues with 3. The worst thing about 3 was how you could flip enemies back up if you hit them when they were knocked down.
I've tried Persona 1 and 2 and they were not very good. The 3-5 style of game is much better.
Persona 2 held up pretty well for me. Granted, I rarely ever changed the personas of the cast, as in Innocent Sin you can keep on getting better versions of everyone's starting personas. I really should finish that game sometime.

Also, both games have much better music than P4, which is most of the reason I'm looking forward to them.

Sadly, most agree with you.
Well admittedly it makes me sad when I see 'wow this trend in Persona sure is awful' and it's something exclusively problematic with the new games.
See the lack of a story mode, even a bad one, is probably the deciding factor of me not buying it until it goes deeply on sale.
put him in a locker!!!
stop trying to make fetch happen
What does that even mean?

The outfits are the worst thing about this video, but the lip syncing and note chart both run them a close second.
It's like they learned nothing from DAN, the rhythm of the notes barely matches the song.
I'm honestly not so sure anymore.
It was still a jerk move to tease P2 characters in the P4Arena Shadow Operatives silhouettes.

They're more fun to play, no denying that. The P3 formula with P1/2's writing(and P5's dungeon designs) would be the perfect formula.

What’s up with the gameplay of 3
3 has a controversial thing where you don't have full party control. It was made optional in P3P, 4, and 5. You can assign tactics instead, or let them act on their own.

Also has the toughest super boss in the series, since you have to fight her solo.
That reinforces the fact that I’ll never play it
(and make FeMC canon)
You can’t decide what your party members do (unless you play persona 3 portable)
koro trying to instakill everything did, though
Hey remember how these are all underage kids
Persona 2 held up pretty well for me. Granted, I rarely ever changed the personas of the cast, as in Innocent Sin you can keep on getting better versions of everyone's starting personas. I really should finish that game sometime.
