    Finally finished Persona 3. P4 is definitely the better game, but I had fun finishing 3, even if the party AI is functionally retarded at times. Plus, the game is now broken so hard that I'm considering blazing through Hard Mode.

    Seriously, though, I can't believe they pretty much snuck in Gaea's Rage as castable spell.
    By the time you get it you're already strong enough to obliterate just about everything but the uberboss, and the uberboss is still hard with it, so it's really not a big deal.

    I bought both, so I could play them after each other.

    Does P4 have less "Together we can overcome" moments?

    Still better than the slow and painful death from her randomly charming/paralyzing/whatevering the MC and then watching your allies use items to heal each other for 50 HP instead of doing anything useful.

    Not that that happened to me twice or anything.

    Ugh.

    What's sad is that until P3, SMT games really DID avoid a lot of those crap JRPG tropes. That kind of thing is actually worse in P4.

    At least Strange Journey seems to be a return to form at least. I was pretty worried for a while given how popular the Persona games had become.

    No? The Persona games were always pretty heavy on the Power of Friendship.

    This never happened to me during that battle. Although, I only used Armageddon on the 13th form, so maybe that explains it. I took the final boss out first try. I also beat the true demon boss in Nocturne on the first try, which is good because I was tired of dying all the time in that game.

    I lost the final boss fight probably three, four times.

    Which sucks, as I was at a reasonable level, if not slightly underleveled (low 70s) so it took like 45 minutes a pop.

    Was it always as corny as Persona 3 though?
    corny moments *top of my head*

    standing up in audience at the end anime sequence
    anything involving calling the Koromaru a good boy
    Fuuka :mrgreen:
    Character stating they never contemplated their demise until Death came along and told them...wtf?
    Akhiko and Ken's preachiness after Shinji died

    The little group huddle on how to handle Ryoji...that was real bad

    edit: to be fair I should say non-corny things or things i liked about Persona 3
    shooting yourself in the head, kinda- pretty cool
    Tartarus, pretty cool
    Art Design in General
    Persona Design

    Random dude freaking out with coffins around him
    Love Hotel Shower Time- freaky david lynch stuff
    the eyeball in the sky...

    Ok I can't think of much cool Storywise...

    I liked the Occult Teacher....

    Well ... I'm one of you now. Since SMT has seen fit to go portable more recently, which is the only real way I can play RPGs anymore, I picked up Devil Survivor on a lark last night and am curious to check out P1 and P3 when they hit the PSP. I'm about an hour in and it's pretty good so far; I like the blend of traditional RPG battles and SRPG tactics, though I'm still trying to digest all of the mechanics I've gotten so far.

    I'm sure this has been mentioned earlier, but are there some general gameplay guidelines you folks recommend? I'm not looking to powergame or break the game into submission, as most of you seem to :), but I just want to make sure I don't paint myself into a corner. Are free battles always available as an option if I feel like I need to boost my stats a bit?

    I'm out there, Jerry, and I'm lovin' every minute of it!

    The PS2 titles don't really beckon me at all, as I really don't have the time to play lengthy RPGs at home anymore. My daily commute is perfectly built for grinding and dungeon-crawling, though, so on a handheld I'm cool with being able to pick up and put down a long-ass game.

    Yeah, free battles are always an option so you're never really stuck. I'd say the most important thing is to try to specialize your main character: either go primarily magic or primarily strength, not both.

    You're lucky. I've lost over 120 hours of my life that I can never replace.

    Can't help you on the Devil Survivor stuff cause I don't have it, but someone posted this cool database that they made earlier in this thread, it might help you out later in the game if you do decide that you wanna break it.

    Just remember that Cracked Skills go into a kind of Cracked Skill Pool which every (team leader) character can access, so the person who actually cracks whatever skill does not have to be the one to keep/use that skill.

    And only one person can have each skill equipped at once, right? I don't have the manual in front of me. I just fought the snowman and picked up Ice Dance instead of that ice defense skill.

    I will have to take a peek or two; I just opened up the fusion section, and it definitely looks like one of those things that could take dozens of hours to figure out on my own. The whole catch-em-all aspect was the main thing I wasn't all that jazzed about with what I knew of SMT, but at least with the devil auctions I hope experimenting on my own with fusions won't be too costly!

    Oh, and GAF found Famitsu screens and video of P3 on PSP. Apparently the non-dungeon sections are vastly cut down and are more menu-based instead of running around exploring on your own; looks like a deal-killer for a number of series vets, but I personally like that kind of streamlining, especially if it's meant for a portable system. It looks really good on the PSP Go in the videos, too!

    Well, I think Shadow Complex may have torpedoed any hope I had of getting through P4 anytime soon.

    November Spoiler:
    After grinding the fuck out of Naoto's dungeon, I'm hard pressed to dive into "Heaven."
    The music in the November dungeon is really great though.

    Anyway, I'm looking forward to replaying this, as I failed fairly spectacularly at building up my party's S.Links. Maxed Chie and Yukiko, but everyone else is around 3 or 4. I took my sweet ass time with all of the dungeons prior to September, so I think I shot myself in the foot there.

    It's pretty small and hard for me to see, but if it does then it has a male Mitsuru that enjoys to wear female Mitsuru's swimsuit and a female Akihiko that likes to cosplay as Aigis, then.

    It's not -that- much of a deal killer since once I had done a quick run-around whenever npc dialog changed there wasn't much point to explore the school/city beyond making beelines for whoever you're spending the day with.

    What I noticed was that I didn't recognize either song playing in those videos (considering the opening to Mass Destruction is forever burned into the deepest depths of my mind now) which makes me hope Meguro has come up with more music for this game, which is always a plus.

    Though, true story: I was given a copy of the Hannah Montana PSP game that someone very obviously didn't want as a gift, so I had the satisfaction of going into GameStop and saying, "Yes, I'd like to trade in this Hannah Montana game and put the credit toward Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor." I think I made the register guy's day.

    Yes?

    I mean, yes it is. All of them are. I never take it, but christ, I don't think anyone I know would have played beyond their first death if they had been kicked all the way back.

    I'm all for a beginner option. I'm so-so on the fighting, but love the games for the meat of the story and whatnot. Plus, I just don't have time to bang my head against particularly hard bits, especially considering how goddamn long these games are.

    I'm not sure if I like how girly the female MC is. Part of the original MC's appeal was that he was a constantly ambiguous blank slate.

    Also, I'm pretty sure everyone in the last video is a girl. I see three schoolgirl uniforms, and aegis. Persona 3: Girl Power edition?

    Can't help you on the Devil Survivor stuff cause I don't have it, but someone posted this cool database that they made earlier in this thread, it might help you out later in the game if you do decide that you wanna break it.

    I will have to take a peek or two; I just opened up the fusion section, and it definitely looks like one of those things that could take dozens of hours to figure out on my own. The whole catch-em-all aspect was the main thing I wasn't all that jazzed about with what I knew of SMT, but at least with the devil auctions I hope experimenting on my own with fusions won't be too costly!

    Oh, and GAF found Famitsu screens and video of P3 on PSP. Apparently the non-dungeon sections are vastly cut down and are more menu-based instead of running around exploring on your own; looks like a deal-killer for a number of series vets, but I personally like that kind of streamlining, especially if it's meant for a portable system. It looks really good on the PSP Go in the videos, too!
    Oh wow. Pink menus. That's not entirely horrible on every level or anything.
    Time out, time out!!
    The PSPGO! didn´t have UMD drive, right? so, P3P will be downloable? And the PSP 1000-2000-3000 will be able to run it?

    I'm assuming as such on the first point (unless that's, like, a weird devkit thing), and any downloadable PSP game that runs on a Go will also definitely work on any other UMD-toting model of PSP.

    It's not -that- much of a deal killer since once I had done a quick run-around whenever npc dialog changed there wasn't much point to explore the school/city beyond making beelines for whoever you're spending the day with.

    What I noticed was that I didn't recognize either song playing in those videos (considering the opening to Mass Destruction is forever burned into the deepest depths of my mind now) which makes me hope Meguro has come up with more music for this game, which is always a plus.

    The Tartarus, dormitory and the little bit of velvet room music that is heard sounded the same everything else was different

    Also it appears you can have Ken as a social link if you're the female protagonist

    There was a joke earlier in this thread and on TVTropes that they were gonna ter Aigis into a creepy lesbian stalker chick, since that's a *REALLY* popular Trope in anime. Looks like they're right.

    I took a break from replaying Devil Survivor for a third time in order to start up Raidou 2. Great game and it's good to see Demon Negotiations again; really forgot how much fun those were in Nocturne. I'm a little bit into Chapter 3 now and
    just barely beat the White Rider after dieing to him about 4 times. I probably could have run away easier, but I kind of wanted to see if I could take him out. Luckily my MAG managed to last long enough for my Lilim with Force Boost to take him out before I got chipped to death by that nasty fire spell. Also, Nagi is pretty cool and I love the localization of Dahn and his assassin friends; the world needs more hick assassins.

    So what's the general consensus on what stat spread breaks this version of SMT? I've been going mostly Mag with the occasional point into strength and luck and have pretty much been owning face by just letting my magic-savy demons chain cast whatever elemental spell the current enemy is weak to; not sure how well that'll work out once I start running into the higher order demons that don't have a weakness...

    Thanks. Guess I can't hold off on getting a PSP after all...
