Shin Megami Tensei

I :love: this game.
I don't know why, but I'm completely obsessed with the Shrine Girl. I just want to protect her
 
I need to get back to playing P3 FES, I got distracted by other games. I thought P3 FES was more difficult than P4 at the beginning. Shadows that move in the field are really fast and they can be hard to see since they blend fairly well in the dark background. The fatigue mechanic makes it so have to limit yourself to fighting large shadows, although it's not always possible depending on the layout of the dungeon floor. You have to plan your turns ahead of time since you are left at the mercy of the party-controlled AI. Mitsuru, stop using Marin Karin! On the other hand, P3 is more lenient in terms of enemy resistances.

I heard that The Answer is locked in Hard difficulty.

P4 on Easy is harder than P3 on Normal, in my opinion.
 
You think me, Shira and Flawless hyped P3/P4 up for no reason? P3 and P4 are fvcking amazing games. The characters personalities are what really make the game for me. Each characters personality goes unbelievably deep and with each little social link you do, you really do begin to understand the person a little bit better (for better or for worse) and there's some characters that you'll get attached to (yours being the girl at the shrine and mine being Akinari) and you'll definitely find a character that you'll relate to on a personal level. It's really crazy how rich and deep each characters personality goes in these games.

Takes so long to raise academics. Striped shirt dude wont talk to me until I'm "Smart"
Currently above average

Yeah the 3 main stats do take forever, but at least with Akinari you only have to get academics to "smart" which is only rank 3 so you don't have to max it out like you have to with Titsuru.
 
I thought the whole time, Maiko was looking for an older brother. Turns out she was just using me to get the dick :mad:

Still love her though. Shrine wont be the same anymore



Is it possible to experience every social link in a single playthrough? Or do I need to be picky on who I talk to and how I spend my time?

It's possible to max every S-link in a single playthrough, but you have to follow a very tight schedule and make the right choices to do so. Without a guide, you might well as just stick to those you like first. It's a little more relaxed in P4 though.
 
Finally met Ken. He reminds me of Tails, so that's his name.


How long until I can bless Heartgirl with my Chosen One dick? On the rare occasions where we can actually talk it's only a sentence or two. I've bought all of those Might Make a Girl Happy items. Flowers, book cover, Teddy Bear, Japanese doll etc. and I have no idea how to give any of them to her

Ken sucks. Fvck Ken.

To do Yukari's social link you gotta max out Charm and her social link wont even be available until after the Yakushima event in the summer time. Plus all those gifts you got wont please her. She likes prada shit you buy from Tanaka (he even has his own social link! The Devil) that's on TV on Sundays. Regular ol' gifts won't work on her. She won't like em lol.

During a social link (depending on if you can romance them or not) at some points it'll ask if you want to give them a gift and that's when you can give them stuff.
 
Max charm? Jesus Fuuka Christ that's going to take forever.

Why do you hate Ken? I hate him design wise, but is he also a doucher?
 
You'll find out why I hate Ken soon enough.

Plus in P3P he's just a little passive aggressive bich in his social link. I'm not even going to bother maxing it out because I really don't like him.

But yeah, it's Max charm to do Yukari's social link. Max intelligence to do Titsuru's, max courage to do the Monks social link, max courage to do Fuuka's as well.

You don't need max stats to do all social links. Just a handful. Those are just the ones that come to mind first.

As for your older question about doing all social links in 1 playthrough. It's possible. In both P3 and P4 you have to follow a very strict schedule, but P4's is a bit easier than P3's. P4G's is easy as fvck though since you have more days since they added in January and the end of December.

Though I don't think you get anything special in P4/P4G for maxing out all social links in 1 playthrough (besides a trophy in P4G) but at least in P3FES/P3P you get Orpheus Telos for doing all social links.

I still wish they would do one more version of P3 where you can social link the guys since I'd actually like to be able to talk man to man with Aki,Shinji and junpei instead of just playing as A NON CANON CHARACTER.

I'm actually halfway through the last month in P3P so I'm almost done. After P3P I think I'm going to start up Innocent Sin and force myself to beat it since I have yet to play it (besides the first 15 minutes). I got up to the first battle and the combat system is almost identical to Revelations/P1P except without a grid (which is a plus, I'll say that much) so it's still a hassle to do battle but I really want to beat the P2 duology so I can finally say that I have beaten the whole Persona series.

I still have yet to play Revelations Persona though.

One day. One day when I have $60+ to spend on a PS1 game I'll get Revelations Persona.

Any tips on how I can max it faster? I know at the Shrine you can get a "drastic" academics increase when in great condition. Is there anything like that for Charm?


I don't really care about a reward for the social links, I just wanted to see everyone's story. Maxing Maiko's link actually felt good. As lame as the shit sounds, it felt like I really helped someone even though she's just a bunch polygons and programming
