Actually that would be Persona 4, but 3 is pretty close too.
So, I'm not a big RPG guy, but I've heard of things like Persona and Digital Devil Saga, Devil Summoner, and those sorts of things. Now, those are all made by the same company, yeah?all made by atlus ya, atlus usa translated them
Anyway, you all are talking up Persona 3 and 4 pretty well, and in the back of my mind I figured I'd play the DDS games somewhere down the line, having heard they were pretty good.
So, my questions are: which series is better (whatever that means to you), and which games take the least amount of time to complete?
And, if the latter is a ridiculous question in the context of those particular games, then say that and I'll know that they just aren't for me.
What I think is more likely is that I'll sit down, be excited about playing, get through those early tutorial-ish hours, and then right around the time you start to head out and get things done, I'll say "well fuck this, I don't have time for this mess."
aka: the story of my time with Final Fantasy XII.

Now, those are all made by the same company, yeah?DDS takes around 30 hours to complete, but thats basically half a game. (with the orther half being DDS 2), so it's more like 60 hours.

I'm an FF fanboy and I hate FFXII
Well, how about to enjoy FFXII, you have to be the sort that loves baseless hype as much as I love abusing my ambien?
I think it'd be more correct to say that you'd have to like games that play themselves to enjoy FFXII.
I keep seeing people talking about playing Persona 4 before Persona 3, and it confuses me. So, they aren't direct sequels then? Or is P4 just so vastly superior that it's worth playing out of order?
Also, and I could totally look this up but what the hell, are their Persona and Persona 2 games as well? Haven't seen them mentioned, and I figure with JRPGs there would be at least one fanboy that would roll into this thread and be all like "OMG PERSONA IZ BEST ALSO PERZONA 2." And so forth.
80 hour game.

The difference is that FFXII is total trash

Main character dying resulting in a game over is SMT.
If they take away that the games will become even more nerfed.
FFXII's boring. P3 was so addicting I played it like constantly for a month. I didn't get the same feeling when I played FFXII.
The difference between P3 and FFXII is that P3 is like all the other dozens and dozens of rpgs with AI settings, which have been there for years. FFXII, however, turned ai into its main battle system feature. That's stupid.
I finally got my PS2 hooked back up last week and warmed it back up with some Persona 3. I think in about 3 or 4 days I've played it about 11 hours and I'm already up to June 6th.
Academics takes FOREVER to level up. :'(
I'm at the same date, but with almost 18 hours on the clock. I guess I fuck around in Tartarus more.
I think I'm actually getting the hang of the game though. It's really not a game you can just bruteforce your way through, you really 100% have to consider weaknesses, which is pretty new for me.
