the first two persona games always sound like a good idea, but then I start them, play an hour, and realize how outdated they are. Which is a shame because I really want to like Persona 2.
I hope Atlus does more PSP ports. P4P and Nocturne please!!! (Nocturne might be a bit too much for the PSP.)

what you mean for outdated? if i have a problem with persona 2 it's the distinguished mentally-challenged ranking up system which rewards you for leaving your system idle,and the piss easy random battle which are won as soon as you learn the tidal wave combo
More Bebpo RPG flip-flopping going on. ;)
I am still planning on getting Persona 3 Portable next month. Is that going to be a good game for someone who generally dislikes JRPGs? I thought Persona 1 was fun waaaaaaaaaaaay back then and liked Persona 2, although it was hard as hell for me and I never got very far.

P3P is awesome anyway you look at it. It was my first Persona and there were a bunch of reasons I enjoyed it so much:
- awesome soundtrack
- pretending to be a student again (good times)
- interesting story
- interesting battles, apart from bosses
I'm actually tempted to get Personaaaa because I've read reviews that say it has good music, but I guess I could just as well check out the music online.
Oh yeah, and now when I read the thread title I end up singing it to the Daytona theme instead :-\
Ordered Persona 3 Portable; it will be here tomorrow.
I already have the game on my PSP now (it runs with the latest Prometheus CFW update) and just started it. I like everything so far, although only being able to save at your dorm sucks. There should be a quicksave option in all the school-dialogue sequences.
What is the difference between the PSP version and the console version? Is it the way you navigate the non-dungeon areas? I like that it cuts out running around environments and just lets you go right for whatever you can interact with on each screen. Reminds me of Ace Attorney, only they show you what you can touch.
Played through the first dungeon. I like it! :o
Does this have the extra content from FES too?
Just bought a PSP go. the minute I took it out of the box and touched it I felt cheated. Feels like it was not only put together, but designed by some drunk ten year old in china. It's charging right now (on it's absurdly short AC wire), will hit up some 'merkin PSN points later and DL P3P which was the straw that broke it for me.Not custom firmware, but there are emus out for it.
Is it possible to get custom firmware on a Go? Like, GBA emulators and whatnot?

supposedly it has the dungeon from "the answer" but not the story. That's the word on the e-streets anyway.

Well, that's what I get for not having played the game but only read stuff a long time ago. :(
The Hall of Doors, a brand new optional dungeon outside of Tartarus for you to explore. Well, okay, it’s actually just the content from FES’ epilogue, The Answer, without the mediocre story to motivate you into playing it.. Still, it’s kind of cool, I guess!
Gave the freeware a try but I'm not sure if I'm gonna buy it now. The SNES cutscenes are :yuck and I hate games that don't even let you walk around. It's why I'm not fond of most JRPGS on the DS.

I asked on NeoGAF and was -of course- directed to the OP -silly me for asking a question- which says:QuoteThe Hall of Doors, a brand new optional dungeon outside of Tartarus for you to explore.

So that answers that. Guess if I wind up playing all the way through this game I will skip FES and go right to Persona 4, but I'd rather wait and see if a PSP version (or 3DS, perhaps?) gets announced. Although the collector in me wants to buy FES now just for the hell of it.
This game would be great on the iPhone/iTouch, too.
But slinks are a huge part of the game
:bow Persona 3 :bow2
30 mins into the game and there was still nothing but cut-scenes and semi-interactive dialogue. Lame. I'll give it another hr to impress and that's it.
Smooth, I know what you mean...just hang in there and you'll FINALLY get to the dungeon.
There seems to be so much stuff you can once the game opens up. Do I want to get a part-time job? Will doing that affect my being able to enter the dungeon on that day?

Both P3 & P4 have longassssss intros. I hear it's shorter in P3P form, but in the original it was like 90 mins before you got to play.
Strange Journey is the same thing. 60 mins of talking heads until you are in a dungeon.
Yet once the games start, they're mainly gameplay so the first few hours are a terrible representation of the games as a whole.
Do you people actually read the intros? I just mash the a button through them. Waste of time reading that shit.
I guess i am different to you guys. I dont play games for story. I dont even read books for story with the exception of Song of Ice and Fire by Gearge RR Martin.
Bebpo i play RPG's for customisation and phat loot these days, does this game have that? Please explain.
Game is good because the battle system is fast and fun with good challenge on the bosses. The art/music are great and the story/characters are good.
Damien watch this

FF5 and DQ have story. DQ7 is over 100000 hours because of the story.
P3 has a lot of story, but it also has a lot of gameplay.

I'll try to be more patient with it since you and Bebpo both vouch for it although who knows if Bebpo would change his mind in a couple of days. LOL
It was just a little disappointing because I was so hyped up for it and the slow-ass pace totally killed my buzz.
Does Persona 4 let you control everyone?
The latest firmware has a bug that, whenever you put the game in sleep mode and start it up again, it can no longer read the data install.Prole said this doesn't happen with the PSN version.
You can just turn it back on in the configuration menu in-game so the PSP will start reading from the data install again, though. I wonder if this problem is just with Persona 3 Portable or if the latest firmware update fucked up data install for all games...I have like four or five games installed on my memory stick.
You don't really bang the nurse in Persona 4. I think she just cockteases you mostly.
beat the game. good fun. NG+ playing as the gay looking bro now and the optional dungeon is easily the best part of the game yet. My stats and pokedex carry over from the last playthrough so I get to use all my fancy persona and there are still new ones to pick up that I didn't see in my last game. These enemies are also much harder so you have to exploit the system better. Feels good man.
I beat it last night too, woo! 72.5 hours :o
What optional dungeon are you talking about? I thought there were just the boss battles with Elizabeth
there is one door on the left of the tartarus staircase, that's the boss rush deal Elizabeth opens up. but then there is another door to the right of the stairs that's called Monad (supposedly 99 levels high dungeon). I killed the grim reaper in my first play-through so maybe that was a condition for opening it? I didn't get shit for killing him then anyway.
First floor in monad got yukari and junpei from level 1 up to 50, so it's all kinds of serious end-game biz. :rock
fake-edit: I think I clocked at a little over 60~ hours. Then again, I did take it kinda chill on several floors (as the fighting really is where I wanted to spend most of my time).
