Kids, shoot yourself in the head and gain super powers! The SMT / Megaten / Persona thread

a lot of the cards have a "1 more" option which lets you pick again. If you manage to clear all the cards, you get a guaranteed shuffle time next battle. Otherwise, I think it only happens if you win a battle through an all out attack.

hot take: P4 was boring. P5 was great. P3 (just started) looks like it might take the cake for me though. I wish I liked p4 more than I do. A lot of my frustration probably came from trying to 100% and thus being overleveled pretty early on and not having much of a challenge in the game. But beyond that, ehhhhh the story was good but not fantastic.

I'm using a sample size of 2, but this wouldn't be a Persona game if it didn't have at least one awful problematic heteronormative scene (I'm thinking of the fat phobic one with Yosuke). I kind of feel like I can't really recommend the series to others now, at least not without some serious caveats.

*sigh* the fat phobia is not limited to one scene.

I also have to wrestle with some of my minmax impulses because a lot of guides say "beat the dungeon in as few days as possible (preferably one)," but then that really unbalances the gameplay -- a very long grind to get through the dungeon on the one hand, and then the life sim stuff that sometimes involves very limited player interaction.

glad I skipped the crappy PSP port of P3 for this

lol i was literally just watching a tweet of P3 Reload

i don't care about already buying the crappy port, Atlus can have all my money in perpetuity

so none of the added content from FES/P3P will be in the P3 remake
oh I see you Atlus, and like the sucker I am I'll buy the updated version in 3 years sigh
also no kids shooting themselves in the head in the trailer? disgusting

this looks like a fun time though
