What is the best version and place to play P3?
I have a hacked Vita and a PC.
Persona 3
Play FES first for 3D exploration, animated cutscenes and the properly tweaked combat. If you want, replay it on P3P for the FeMC route and braindead combat that lets you speed through Tartarus twice as fast because they didn't rebalance anything from duct-taping the P4 system in place.
PSP emulator.
>FES
what?
is the PSP version better than the PS2 version? if so how?
FES is the updated PS2 release with extra social link stuff and an epilogue chapter. P3P is the PSP version where every in-game/animated cutscene is replaced with very limp VN text.
yeah do this strIght up its 20 ameribux for FES on amazonian mistress dot com
also fuck mitsuru
so why the fuck would anyone recommend the PSP version if it doesn't even have the cutscenes?
FES, unmodded. Don't fall for the "widescreen" or "party control" mods, both make the game worse.
u can play it portably. it has some more conveniences to it, but its probably easier to just go through it without the qol changes first so u can appreciate them later
Because:
1: It replaces a lot of weaker social links with new ones
2: It lets you control your party members and backports a lot of P4 combat mechanics
3: It lets you play as a grill and fuck boys
Worth a play, but don't let it be your first playthrough. Scenes are limp, you can't even walk around town, instead you're a cursor clicking on sprites to talk to them.
It has the female protag route, which is honestly about 99% exactly the same story but with a few little differences for wacky anime high school hijinks or banging some of the male social links.
Because it has FeMC and trannies use it to self insert Id imagine
Its also the only P3 game with native party control, though that CAN be modded for P3FES if you're a casual
He didn't really give the full picture. P3P has a fuckload of extra content, QoL stuff, much better combat, and PSP emulators handle save stating and ffwding better than PS2 ones so grinding is way less of a hassle.
FES with the party control mod, if you aren't against emulating, is best for a first time playthrough imo. All of the style and presentation of the original game but with better combat since AI party members just isn't fun.
FeMC is cute, faggot.
P3 FES on a PS2 emulator
3 fes with the party control mod
>much better combat
Everyone who says this is just a brainlet who needs full party control and P4's much more lenient One More system.
No needs involved, it's just more fun and objectively a better system.
AI party is cool, very playable, and thematically fits the game quite well, but there is literally no reason to prefer it over direct control. I beat FES multiple times as a teenager but I've only ever played P3P since when I replay P3 as an adult.
but I mainly care about the story
FeMC seems like it will mostly have the same shit but be more generic than the MaleMC route and the psp version doesn't even have cutscenes apparently which is a big turn off for me.
don't talk shit about P4 though
is there PS2 emulation on vita or do I need to play it on PC then?
I really hate what P4 did to the combat. The old One More system was much better. At least P5 added some new elements, guns, baton pass and the like to make things more interesting. All P4 did is remove depth.
is it to play the PS3 release of FES on a PS3 emulator on PC or play the PS2 version of FES on a PS2 emulator on PC?
I have heard that the ps3 version of p3 looks a bit janky, but unless you want to navigate configuration menus dor an hour in pcsx2 you might have problems handling the ps2 emulator
so what do you recommend?
Man, I love this image style.
emulate pcsx2. despite its problems, if your pc is good enough you shouldn´t need to touch anything and just load the iso. If you have a toaster, rpcps3 will handle P3 more poorly than what it already does so just use pcsx2 and watch a tutorial or something
the artist has two art books spanning multiple projects including persona games
but is rpcps3 better if I don't have a toaster?
I use it to emulate Tokyo Jungle
>Much better combat
Very debatable, even though the game is more streamlined and easy there's way too many things removed from the game that make it even worse for players to have to go through
FES still offers more content that players should experience before going with P3Ps revisions
I should have phrased in other way from the beggining. The ps3 version of p3 is playable but crusty so avoid it. Emulate ps2 but be aware that with pcsx2 you normally have to do tens of configurations to play as optimal as possible.
ok thanks, I'll try to figure out how to setup pcsx2
Gotta go look after em' then.
Mainly just P3.
PSP. Not having control over your party makes combat so dull and boring.
And here we have a retard/P4 fan who can't figure out tactics.
And here we have a nigger who thinks that everyone who thinks AI party members is less fun than direct control feels that way because they couldn't beat P3/FES's base game.
What does that have to do with the combat being boring? You only ever have to switch tactics for a couple of boss fights.
these are the two I have:
Shigenori Soejima Art Works 2004-2010
Shigenori Soejima Art Works 2010-2017
should be easy to get a hold of if you look for them.
