@Ren Amamiya nothing's stopping you from playing it, but getting to know and form your own opinions on the characters through their games definitely feels better than dropping into a cast of 25ish party members and a ton of side characters, funny references, and all around discussion about the games they come from.

I'm not normally a big fan of jrpgs, so I wasn't sure what to expect. What I found was not only one of my favorite video games ever, but one that helped me make it through 2020 (a group of genuinely good people trying to make a sucky world a little less sucky made for the perfect antidote to this year). I've since played through Persona 3 FES (currently going through the "epilogue" exclusive to that version) and intend to play P4G and some of the spin-offs after that (including this one). This short video made my life just a little bit brighter. Thank you for that.

[@rentchrysalis]

Sprocket Sunflower if you just want to play the games or experience them, the cheapest option would be a PS3 or watching the anime. The PS3 let’s you play Persona 3 FES, Persona 4, and Persona 5. The only thing is, if you wanted the best experience possible you wouldn’t be getting it off the PS3 or Anime. The PS VITA let’s you play Persona 4 Golden which is the definitive edition to Persona 4, having more storyline, interactions, personas, it’s portable, and it’s just a better version. The anime isn’t the best alternative in my opinion, since I feel like the persona series was meant to be played. The gameplay and storyline just feels a lot more real, as walking around the schools and streets in the game make me feel like I’m really in their world.

3:14 And Persona 3's MC's canon name is Makoto Yuki, and Persona 5 has Makoto Niijima. P3 also has Ryoji, while P5 has Ryuji. P4 has a detective named Adachi and P5 has a detective named Akechi. P3 has Kenji, and P4 has Kanji. And these are all just from Persona 3 -5. But the strangest coincidence is that they all somehow have a character named Igor, who is a strange and mysterious old man with a very large nose. So weird.

[@Magnet_Chaos]

I mean... Igor shows up to everyone who starts the Fool's journey. So it is not really a coincidence. It is just consistency. It would be weirder for the Velvet Room to have a different owner in every game. Like imagine if Mario had a different Princess in every game instead of Peach.

You mentioned at the beginning buying all those consoles, but in reality, all you need to get into persona is a ps3.

You can then use a psp emulator (ppsspp) to play Persona 1, Persona 2: Innocent Sin, or Persona 3 portable if you wanna play through the whole game again as a girl. Also, the ps3 store has a wide range of other megami tensei games.

honestly I think you should just play P3P first rather than jumping to PQ or PQ2, their graphics is comparable, since 3ds is so under powered.

Plus, you can play it in almost all todays android phones or laptops with ppssspp emulator.

Dunno if the creator would see this comment but this video resonates closely to me because I also have a similar situation, I'm also a big fan of a underrated videogame about crossovers, except it's more of a series at this point with like more than 30 games, it's called super robot wars and the deal is many anime about robots crossover with each other featuring a mixing of all their plots and characters for then a adventure against a original team of villains with a gameplay similar to fire emblem except the animations are 10x times wackier And you can imagine how much effort it is to get into these series, each title has its own assortment of different animes and if you don't want get spoiled of any but you still want play that title because it has the most you know you'll need watch all the series, and mecha animes tend to have 50 or even more episodes if they are older, but I still watch anyways, I really like the characters interacting with each other or just being together in the same jrpg table, some of these animes haven't appeared in years it's like a full homage to mecha in general and even though it's like just me caring and takes a super long effort to get into I think it's still fun, and truth to be told most people that play these games are like professional mecha fans while I just started cause I liked one game that had gurren lagann and code geass together and now I'm watching like so many new cool anime like gundam

I think the best alternative today (if money is not an objection, of course), is $700 laptop gaming with at least Intel 9300h and gtx 1050, I think you can even get ryzen 4600h with that price. Voila, persona 1 & 2 via ps1/psp emulator, P3P via psp emulator, P3 FES via ps2 emulator, native P4G PC port (the best version), PQ and PQ2 with 3ds emulator, and P5 with ps3 emulator. Yes, you still can't play P5R on PC, but with P4G success, maybe Atlus will port it later. I am sure about persona dancing series though, I don't think switch emulator is dependable enough today, especially on entry level gaming laptops.

[@jjr3z]

Personally speaking would be a good idea to play P3P then P4G then P5, as then you can get the little easter eggs and references to the game before it and truthfully there is plenty of interconnectivity between the games, and even instances where its not just a gap from one game from like P1 to P2 or P3 to P4(and vice versa) but even P1 to P3 and P2 to P5 So if your gonna play half the series why not play the other Half? Persona 1, Persona 2 IS and Persona 2 EP,I will say thou these 3 games have nothing to do with PQ2, but the part of little hints and references in the later titles as well the explanations of the psychology behind Persona and the different aveneues each game takes creates a clearer picture of the Persona Universe(well some games can be better at others or faster than others to explain everything) Besides if you decide now of all times to get a Vita, you can play from P1 to P3P from PSP PSN library, then P4G from PSvita library then P5 with some Remote Play, with 6 games to play from a single series you will easily have 400+ hours to play from this amazing series

Oh man playing P4 got me hooked on the series and I have had to play every game that has ever come out under the persona name. PQ2 was a great game and does fan service right with quality game play.

Persona 2 Innocent Sin is incredible for minority representation Bisexual main character Canon choice gay love interest Characters that have struggled with bullying due to weight A racial minority (white in Japan) dealing with prejudice, stereotypes, expectations and subtly implied fetishisation

[@zsurvivalist7996]

I've been on the fence on this one mainly because I suffered choosing between way too many characters in the first Q spinoff , and for me as fun as the first Q was , the plot wasn't really much of anything . If it makes it to switch I'll definitely give it a consideration.

You can also get a PATV if you wanna play the Vita games with a comfy controller on a big screen. And the best pro is that it's quite cheap

[@connorreed7523]

I watched a (very engaging) Let's Play of Persona 5 Royal, am playing Persona 4 Golden as of typing this and plan on playing Persona 3 Portable once I'm done with 4 Golden. Is that enough to play New Cinema Labyrinth?

[@VideoGameStoryTime]

Yeah, that should be enough! Enjoy!

[@connorreed7523]

@@VideoGameStoryTime Thanks! I hope Persona 3 will be a blast!

[@VideoGameStoryTime]

@@connorreed7523 It's my personal favourite of the three, for what it's worth. Very good story, less fancy because it's older, but a really strong game!

[@emmbeesea]

I love the Soapbox episodes!

[@VideoGameStoryTime]

Glad to know they have fans :D

Me and like 5 other people care about Kanji and I'm so happy to hear of someone else that loves him 😭😭😭

[@Magnet_Chaos]

People that like Kanji are the only people who are valid.

[@davestylepp]

it is funny because this aint the main timeline if i am correct. the persona series is a different timeline where some books just go for the persona timeline end then continue with the persona games.

[@wwhatsthis4168]

Honestly pq2 is what got me interested in the other persona game in the first place. While I knew the basic plots of 3 and 4 and way too much for someone without a ps anything for persona 5 pq2 is what sparked my interest for the other characters in the persona franchise.

[@jamescampbell2353]

I got a walloping from the third movie. It changed me for the better, I believe.

You can emulate all the games he listed don't feel like your missing out if you can't find copies of these games or consoles or can't afford them

[@chs9999]

That opening is a banger

[@dattos140]

Gameplay wise, pq2 is very similar to revelations persona. I know because im currently playing the psp remastered version.

[@xBlaster]

It is important because it's Joker's ticket for smash for being on a nintendo console, right? (guys, stop asking for Master Chief...)

[@mintcey]

I played Q2 after I beat 3 and 4 but I still haven't beaten 5. I waited for Royal to come out and now I'm 80 hours in so some of the character traits make a bit more sense in Q2.

[@ronnorhgih3265]

I know this might make people angry but I watched all of the anime adaptations of the games and then played Q2 and I think it was enough background to enjoy the game. I think most of the characters are kinda reduced to their most basic form in Q2 so you don't need to see their whole confidant conversations to understand them for Q2.

Great work, kotor!
