Persona 3

[MobilepoopGundam]

Was one of the best games i played in a long while.

Though i didn't like the level grinding and the fact you only go through one big dungeon for the whole game.

The plot and characters make up for it.

[Aizmov]

I loved going up the Tower of Demise. Persona 3 is also one of my favorite RPGs on the PS2.

I am planning to buy this game after being introduced to the Shin Megami Tensei series from Devil Summoner.

Looks good, but that price tag is HUGE considering it's for an 8 year old console.

Oh, trust me, it's worth EVERY last penny.

It's usually get em fast before there rare and hard to come by at a decent price.

It happens to a lot of the Shin megami games.

Yup, the game was quite rare in my area even a few weeks after launch you can hardly find one. I had to go to drive to another town about an hour away (highway speed) to get me one.

[CrimsonMoon]

Really? I can see it in every game shops here. And P3 is worth the penny. A good game; great main character and story. One of my favourite PS2 games.

Did you have to pay $70+ for it?

Luckly i got it for free(gift, thank you relatives)

No, fortunately I didn't But I can understand why some people will have to pay this much for it. It is a rare game.

[StabWound]

Well, after looking around at my local stores I finally found a copy used for $45, not bad considering it's going for up to $140 used on amazon.

So far I have to say I'm loving this game.

So far I have to say I'm loving this game.

How far in are you?

[StabWound]

About 4 hours in, almost at the 10th floor of the dungeon.

[MobilepoopGundam]

I'll use this thread to brag

My character is at level 99, i have the persona's Lucifer and Satan. Having one of those equipped and the other with the other persona's.

Lets you use Armageddon, it does 9999 damage to all enemies.

Add that with the battle cry ability, which heals all your HP and SP after each battle.

i can use it non stop.

I'm awesome.

[Regalyn]

Nice, I'm also lvl 99 too, my personal personas are Messiah, Thanatos, Satan and I forgot the last one, that, it's helpful for elemental attacks and I use the forth persona to heal all my conrades with HP and SP included me. I also want to get Lucifer too but it was too late in the game but I will get in next one.

[rf switch]

I love the game. I don't mind the level grinding. Its just something you traditionally had to do in JRPG's....

And yeah. Its usually best to get SMT games sooner rather than later...Same thing can be said for 80% of what Atlus releases...

[CrimsonMoon]

MobilepoopGundam: So have you defeated Elizabeth? I sure hope you have, cause she's a pain, a real pain.

[StabWound]

Well, FES (Persona 3 + 30 hours of extra content) got announed for release in the US on April 22 for $29.99

This kind of sucks considering I just spent $45 for a used copy of Persona 3 last month...

That doesn't suck. It's best to get both anyways...It's nice to collect them. 3 came with an artbook and soundtrack anyways. And they always seem to keep a decent value as well.

[StabWound]

I got it used so I got no Artbook or soundtrack, but whatever atleast FES isn't expensive.

[KillerDragonX]

i am in love with this game, i tried it out cause i used to play the old one for the sega system, now it is just an addicting game to me ^^

[Dark-Sasuke]

Just Bought It Yesterday, Did The First Floor Of The Tartarus, Seems Pretty Good So Far But The Main Character Looks Like Some Skinny Emo Kid

[Zorba]

MobilepoopGundam: So have you defeated Elizabeth? I sure hope you have, cause she's a pain, a real pain.

No, she's impossible.

[araym219]

zorba stop here cause i see how this topic is going to become a spoiler filled one, i won't give up until i've beaten her, and then i'm going to treat myself to the fes main story.
overall the game is probably a 7-8 game, but for those who prefer a good story and can live with the little repetitive dungeons and the somewhat emo main character, as i am , will most surely love this game, i can't wait to get the spoiler for persona 4, the anime series somewhat disappointed me since they're 10 years after persona 3

MobilepoopGundam: So have you defeated Elizabeth? I sure hope you have, cause she's a pain, a real pain.

Elizabeth? Oh I have a few tips for you on how to beat her.
Here:
1. Max out the "Star" arcana Social Link so you may acquire Lucifer, the light-bearer (I created him using Messiah and Metatron)
2. Create Satan via fusion (If I remember correctly I used Raphael, Thanatos and Shiva)
3. Make the two learn all of their respective skills.
4. Lucifer and Satan together would be able to pull off the Fusion Spell, Armageddon which in exchange for draining all of your SP would cause 9999 damage.
5. It would take 2 armageddons to take her down so don't hesitate to use Soma or Fuuka's Oracle to refill your SP.
*Time your armageddons perfectly though because if she uses Diarahan, her HP would be full again.

It's a real pain but it'll pay off.

Anyway, I really like this game. Especially when you can finish the game at your own pace. If you don't feel like fighting shadows then ask a girl on a date and have fun!
