Default Prime guest writer Peter Tieryas gets into the second part of his Persona 3 retrospective where he discusses battles, personas and Tartarus.
"After decades of grinding in JRPG’s to gain experience and money, I’ve come to loathe turn-based combat and the thousands of battles against worthless minions (I could have learned two new languages with the time I spent earning experience points, something I’ve been struggling with as I’ve grappled with Mandarin!). Persona 3 went a long way to revamping the battle system while cutting away everything extraneous to make combat fun and smooth..."
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.
HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.
It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.
What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
The studio was on the verge of collapse when Persona 3 came out, and things were looking quite grim for Atlus. Regardless, many decisions made in the game paid off and became a staggering success.
Years ago, I was emulating the game on my laptop and the old thing died when I was about to get to the final boss. I'm more than happy to buy this remake when it comes out so I can finish it!
At the time I was immersed in SMT Nocturne and later DDS. I did not realize at all how important Persona would become for me years later.
Persona 3 FES was the first one that I played in the series. Looking forward to the remake.
The P3RE.JP has seen an update to its domain today, suggesting that the rumored Persona 3 Remake could be announced in the near future.
I preferred Golden and unfortunately haven't beaten 3 as it's pretty hard to go back to it. I do know some points of the story etc though and have always heard most people liked the story in 3 better.
This remake will be perfect for me if true. And hopefully combines FES and portable's content.
Prefer the story, characters and soundtrack in P3. Wait for the remake to play it as the PS2 originals don't let you control your party members and P3portable(the one that was remastered) is a substantial downgrade visually.
"Why Persona 3 Is The Best JRPG on the PlayStation 2"
...Because you haven't played 4?
Sorry, but I couldn't get into the school schedule/highschool dating aspects. I just don't care about teenager problems or awkward, melodramatic romantic advances any more.
P3 is amazing, no doubt. But I'd say I still enjoy Xenosaga more... and maybe .hack, as well.
Then again, that entire era of JRPG gaming was pretty amazing, so I don't even mind not being able to have a definitve #1.
Funny, I have Persona 4 coming to me in the mail this week. Some people say P4 was better, some say P3 was better. But the general consensus is that P4 is the better option for new comers like me.
for me, the best JRPG is Radiata Stories. why havent they made a sequel for this gen....
