Idk if this is the right subreddit but f it we ball

So the only game ive played is P5R and i’ve been looking into the other games out of curiosity and ive been told they are part of the same continuity.

But in other games, the way they release their personas is different, they dont have concepts like palaces, they get their personas in different ways etc.

so how is this possible? does the way cognition manifests changes over time? what’s the in universe explanation

For me I really enjoyed Ryujis confidant! There are others I really liked such as Makoto, Ann, Futaba and Akechi but for me Ryuji and Ren are a good pairing that is a mix of entertainment and fun as well as exploring some pretty serious topics!

I haven’t played persona 4 (and I know everyone likes to talk about Yu and Yosuke being the best of the 3 games so I’m excited about that) but having played persona 3 after finishing 5 I feel like Junpei and Makoto don’t have the same connection that Ryuji and Ren share and it sort of makes me appreciate ryujis social link more.

My least favourite may be one of the links like Kawakami, ohya chihaya. I never really liked them from the offset considering they were all significantly older than Ren. I thought the dynamic was really weird and I put off doing their social links for a lot of the game. No hate on people who like Kawakami or some of those confidants I just think the whole dynamics are weird from the perspective of Ren.

He Inspired by this and this picture, He had said that, drawing inspiration from this and that picture, he also made a post similar to this one.

The question sounds ridiculous, since it’s essentially a game about teenagers who are superheroes in a cognitive parallel dimension... But there are certain things that don't make sense if you think about them twice (for example, bathing and doing laundry are optional; you can't brush your teeth yet still date the prettiest girl in school, Ann, despite the lack of personal hygiene... I know that stuff is implied to happen off-screen, but it’s funny to imagine it. Or the simple fact that when you buy weapons like swords or rifles at Iwai’s shop, no matter how big they are, they fit into your tiny school backpack, like Arthur Morgan’s satchel or Doraemon’s pocket). Just funny little things like that which don't make sense upon reflection, do you have any examples?

I bought the new plush from miniso about a week ago and its already ripping apart in 3 different places. I dident expect much from a 25 dollar plush. But i also dident expect it to be this poorly made

Why can I update the compendium with the same max level, max stat personas? Same skills, same everything. I just thought it was weird. Is there something I'm missing?

So I finished playing P5R some time back, and I'm currently looking into playing another JRPG (on the switch 2).

I was considering P3R (I know, I just barely missed the sale 😭), but I just saw that another game "Metaphor Refantazio" will be coming out on Nov 12. Also P4R seems to be coming next February.

What would you recommend I play next? There's also P6 coming in 2027, so this is slightly biasing me into picking a Persona game to have more experience/background before playing P6.

For reference, I tried Nier Automata for a couple of hours, but it really didn't click with me. I'm not sure if it's just not for me, if it's the Switch graphics on this one, or something else... Low-key preferred Bayonetta 3 combat and pace (which for me felt the most similar).

seeing these two early game when walking around in school felt so nice for some reason it was absolutely my favorite detail but then it got removed after unlocking makoto i think 💔💔

The Lovers Arcana route will always be my favorite in the franchise, but one thing I noticed that sets Ann apart from Yukari or Rise is that she didn't develop an emotional attachment to Joker...

Yukari in Persona 3, for instance, was extremely attached to Makoto because of how important he became to her (basically, her first love was a blue-haired emo guy); with Rise in Persona 4, it’s glaringly obvious (she was constantly calling Yu "Senpai").

But Ann’s case is different; she doesn't follow that same pattern (she isn't constantly glued to the protagonist, nor does she get jealous or anything like that). The only thing is that she is quite flirtatious, subtle, sure, but flirtatious nonetheless. I’m not saying Ann is a bad Confidant or that the ShuAnn ship is invalid, far from it; Ann is one of my favorite Confidants, and I do ship her with Joker (actually i am a user from r/cuckthecat).

I just wonder why she is the only Lovers Arcana character who doesn't have that same level of emotional attachment to the protagonist that Yukari or Rise did.

Just want to vent my frustration. So I'm at day 11/5 on my first playthrough and while i was doing a confidant event with Akechi Goro i suddenly thought "hey he looks pretty similar to Light Yagami from Death Note". So i looked it up for reference and like the 5th result on Google images was a post from this sub WHICH GOOGLE DIDN'T BLUR ALTHOUGH IT WAS SPOILER that compared them... and one of Goro's characteristics apparently is that he kills people for his father and will betray the Phantom Thieves, so i imagine it will be a major plot twist in game. FUUUCK!

Hehe he's so cute

So I’m past sae’s palace and I finally maxed out hifumi’s confidant and unlocked the advanced fusion for lucifer, when I saw it was level 93 I decided I’d get it so I started fusing all the other persona’s needed until I learn that metatron is only unlocked if you maxed out Akechi’s confidant which I didn’t do and he’s gone now. Am I now just perma locked out of that persona now? It’s a little bit frustrating honestly but I at least have Satan fused. I’m just wondering if I’m perma locked out of fusing lucifer now or if I can still fuse metatron somehow. I’m on person 5 royal btw

As the title says... finally beat P5R, this was my first ever persona game. Holy crap I loved it. Ive never been big on turn based battle games but I played the crap out of this, even added music to my regular station.

My heart hurts after the ending. Im moving onto p3Reload currently. I wanted to ask yall what things I should expect, not expect, be open to in comparison to p5r while playing this one. I barely started, just awakened my persona, going through a bunch of cutscenes currently. Would you say that confidants and stats wise is this game more forgiving or less forgiving than persona 5 Royal? What sorta changes *spoiler free please* should I expect? Thanks in advance! Can't wait to have my heart broken all over again from what ive been told l

I know there is a few guides and I’ve tried to follow them to the best of my ability, but I need to know if I screwed myself over getting into this boss fight. I probably did but I’d like a second opinion
I’m on 9/19, level 43 with Morgana, Makoto and Haru in my party with the personas pictured in my roster.
I managed to get past the tall blue workers but find myself stuck at the green guys afterwards. I have a few matagamas and other items but I probably didn’t prep as much as I should be. I also have only 1 save file 😬 with 80 hours on it. Help!!

During sae niijima's palace, constantly, the phantom thieves are acting all innocent whenever Akechi does anything slightly against the casino. Whenever he makes bets or borrows a bunch of chips, it's like they act like they're actually breaking the law. It's probably the dumbass acts that they're playing on but it gets tiring how they act, most of it unneeded.

I was always pissed by people glazing turn based game then I said to my self "why not try It out yourself " and I began persona5 royal after asking about the best starter turn based game .

Right now I finished kaneshiro palace and I am having so much fun I disliked the game in the beginning especially kamoshida's palace bc it wasn't very family friendly and I play in the living room and the palace was soo difficult, anyways this game is definitely worth playing it's soo low cortisol
