Go play a visual novel or some shit
>>273762708
Please?
So is this game supposed to progress this slow? I'm only on the 2nd dungeon and have spent 10 hours on it.
It's been fun so far, just slow.
>>273762053
I'm quite the opposite.
I never knew I wanted to draw and customize my own maps. The Persona skin helped out with easing into it. Now I'm waiting for another ATLUS sale on the eShop.I'm also playing it on Hard. Fuck Risky. Maybe for NG+.
>>273762053
i want to rape her butt with that corndog.
>>273762972
isn't that a good thing for a game to take long to beat? just take breaks if it seems to be dragging on
>>273762979
Is hard actually not hard but store prices are high like in Nocturne?
I picked Yu instead of Makoto because I like Yu's design better and didn't realize it would change the story that muchNow I have to hang out with P4's cast for the beginning of the gameHow much did I fuck up?
>>273762972

This is how you spot P3/P4fags.
Ten hours in, you should be at the 3rd dungeon with a bunch of requests completed.

>>273762972
Same here.
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be slow since there seems to be only 4 or 5 dungeons to me.
It's supposed to be an 80 hour game so the slow progression makes sense to me.
>>273762979
Agreed. I LOVE the map customization.
>>273763281

Nothing wrong with first person dungeon crawling if it's done well and guess who does first person dungeon crawling well? The SMT and EO teams, one of which happened to work on it
>>can't see your personas
It's a 3DS game, there's no demon models to steal and Atlus don't have the money to make new ones, besides they'd slow the combat down and would look like shit.
>>no social link
Of course there's no social link, besides those were never implemented particularly well in Persona

>>273763090
No
Some people have jobs and school and shit
More than 20 hours for a single game is overkill
>>273763262
And yet, we knew all this before it came out. It's EO with a Persona skin, we knew this. If you bought it thinking anything different i'd say you're the fucking idiot.
>>273763315
I've always wondered who the noble voice actually is in that pic
>>273763483
I'm sorry I'm playing too fast; I've got a good rhythm going.
>>273763658
>said the guy complaining about people taking their time
>>273763253
I think average time with EO is around 40-60 hours, varying based on the game, the player's skill, and party set up.
If you're not running any of the cheese set-ups, it can take a good while to get anywhere in the first stratum of an EO, because you start off extremely weak. But by the second you should be able to hold your own, and have a general idea of what you can take down.
The same seems to be true here, although the floor-to-floor difficulty seems to jump a little more than EO, but that's likely because of the number of attack options you have, and the nature of the way combat differs from EO.
>>273763691

Yeah, I've never played a EQ game so I'm enjoying it so far.
Just play it on the risky difficulty. Becomes far more fun on that
>>273763790
Thats ok, but you shouldn't shit on someone else without knowing how they play first. I'll bet you just stick to one main cast and ignore the rest, hell I heard the lower difficulties are so easy to stroll through.
I just started and I think the whole drawing your own maps thing is cool, combat isn't too bad.
But Rei and Zen are so anime even for Persona I can't stand it.

I can squeeze in about 2 hours of video games per day during the week, maybe another 10 at the weekend.
An 80 hour game means playing it and only it for a month.
I'd be sick of it by the end of a fortnight, regardless of how good it is.

Which is closer to EO:U normal? Hard or risky?
>>273763262
So wait
You bought a game that was EO with main series SMT elements, with a persona skin, and expected persona?
Are you retarded
>>273764784
No because they don't have any char development, you just go from dungeon to dungeon
>>273764905
People on /v/ aren't good at EO becausethey get to the naming screen and have a breakdown.
>>273762053
I love EO and I really enjoy this game, although it's not as good at EOIV. That being said it's leagues above P3/P4 as far as gameplay goes. I don't see how anyone can complain about Q having played P3/P4. Currently 20 hours in and on the double date dungeon on risky. I probably would be farther but quite a few of those 20 hours is me laying my 3DS down while I do other shit. That being said I'm incredibly surprised how much the game rewards you for beating an FOE, you get some crazy shit.
I love it. I prefer EO4 but this is is still good. I like making my own characters so that's the only real downside to PQ
>>273764950

Any game that is longer than 30 fucking hours overstays his welcome FAST.
There is literally no excuse to make them that long.

>>273765067
> it's leagues above P3/P4 as far as gameplay goes
That's because it is not Persona gameplay. It's actually the mainline SMT gameplay in PQ.
>>273765214
Going backwards? That'd be p4
>>273765272
I want to poink her.
>>273765109

>>273765214
Atlus are a fucking tiny company m8, they don't have the resources to commit to making 3D models of the hundreds of demon designs Persona uses for a game that will sell 300k, not everything has the budget of P5.
Besides, the game was developed by the EO team on the EO engine, they can't suddenly throw 3D exploration and combat into that thing and expect it to work
>>273765294
Go to school, have friends, kill shit with them and then spend some time knowing more about them. If you can manage to slog through boring fights it pretty good

Naw, it's EO gameplay more than anything. I could see thinking it's SMT but map creation etc says otherwise.
Still, the gameplay is leagues above P3/P4. Whether it's just EO with a skin or not the characters act like how you'de expect the characters to act and the gameplay is really good. It's fun to see the P3/P4 cast interact.

WHO RISKY HERE
I'm doing fucking backflips over this game. 18 hours in 3 days and it's my GOTY and everything I wanted it to be. The only gripe is that it opened the floodgates for P3/4 fucks to make threads like this and ruin Etrian
>>273765802
I got an early SMT vibe off it, but the lack of demon negotiation alone makes it more EO than SMT
>>273766106

I'm talking about the battle system and how, in Risky, if the MC dies you lose.
>>273765824
Oh I wasn't talking about using party members to protect the MC. I'm talking about YOU, the player, protecting the MC by not making shitty decisions and having shit Personas equipped. I played FES, because who the fuck bought a PSP.

I guess the Risky thing isn't exactly from EO. I thought it was a callback to P3 however. Either way I enjoy Risky, I don't see myself playing on any lower difficulty. The battle system is more like EO however. SP HP settings and the demon skills may be more akin to SMT but I would say stuff like the leader skill is EO. Either way all the elements it uses are great.

Are autistic P3fags this dense? Its universally agreed that P4's gameplay was its BIGGEST strength, even with an underwhelming story.
P3P is the only playable version of P3 to date, i'd guarantee that the port wouldn't have gotten its praise (visual novel shit aside) if it didn't take notes from P4's mechanics, which are factually superior to FES' FFXIII-tier dogshit combat.

It's characters and twist was the only good thing about the game. Visit an actual persona thread for once instead of a waifu thread

Good idea
>>273766292
Physical attackers in general are pretty good. Chie is really nice around the second dungeon because she gets Power Charge at level 15. She basically fishes for sleep and critical hits, and it actually works.

Ipre-orderedthe LE on Amazon with free shipping. They got it to me on release day.
>>273767929
I played P3P first faggot
and I hated the social aspect because it could've been done well but it was so fucking hamfisted
so I tried IS and it was 12/10 GOTYAY

The only thing I hate about Risky is instant kill moves. Fuck you Liz I can't even get Resist Light yet.
>>273768535
I would've just ended up playing p3fes because I like to play shit in order and I hadn't heard of P1/P2 at the time
Personally love the dungeon crawling genre. Can't wait to pick my copy of this up, especially after all the time I've put into the EO series.
I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea, most of the games in this genre are pretty tough and your average video game player doesn't like to strategize so they think everything is beat with mindless hours of grinding.
>>273766682
Worst dungeon in the fucking series for sure.
I just started EO IV but I expect to receive Persona Q on Monday. Should I get through EO IV first or just tide myself over with other stuff until Monday? I need someone to make decisions for me.
>>273768824
It's a Persona game, I can't imagine that it'll be even remotely difficult. Guess I'll see when it comes in, though.
>>273768970
Personal bias, yes, play EO4. As someone who put 44 hours into the demo and another 130 hours into the actual game, it's great and has plenty of content.
>>273769041
I haven't gotten into the persona series yet. I've played SMT and EO. Most likely will get into it once I get a Vita.
>>273768970
I think you can get through PQ faster, unless you decide to play through both sides.
Either way, both are games to take your time with, so don't rush either to play the other. Try to get the most out of them. They have different battle gameplay, so feel free to play through them together.
>>273766870
>"babbies"
>The Untold series
sounds about right
Rei-chan is so kawaii like holy shit.
Got a question. The treasure chest that requires you to map the area to unlock. Do I have to walk over all the floor panels? 'Cause I tried just painting it in, but it looks like it didn't register. Am I using the wrong color for the floor or something?
>>273769041
The difficulty is okay, but I'm playing on Risky. It goes all over the place, they give you a lot of options and tools that make things easy, but at the same time enemies can end up squashing you like nothing. For example, one of the FOE in the second dungeon is downright menacing, but then the boss of the same dungeon goes down like a joke. The SP cost of skills is insane though. Power and Mind Charge cost 40 SP, mid tier elemental skills cost 28 SP, and so on and so on.
>>273769432
You have to walk on all of them. It's a bit tedious.
So this would be a good game for someone who doesn't like persona all that much, but thinks the opposite of the EO series?
Neato. I'll be picking this up then.
epic thread guys
I want a Rei.

>"Muh niche game" ruined by optional story mode
EOU3 is gonna be fucking GOAT.
>>273769593
Depends on why you don't like P3/P4. If you didn't like the high school sim aspect, but liked the battle gameplay and tolerated the characters, I think you'll love this.
>>273769701
She already has a protector, fuck off.
Best girl.
>>273768970
Honestly, I was worried I might be burned out, since I finished EO4 a few days before PQ came out.
But even if they're both dungeon crawlers and the battle system is essentially the same, the emphasis on pre-defined characters(in terms of personality and broader combat niches), and the "Boost" system, where hitting enemy weaknesses lets you use a special ability without the HP or SP cost the next turn, sort of PQ's version of Press-Turn, and Persona customization/fusion makes Persona Q a very different beast from Etrian Odyssey, in the sum of its parts.
I'd say just get as far as you can into EO4 before giving PQ a shot.
>>273769593
Maybe. If you don't like the characters of P3 or P4, you'll get annoyed by the side event stuff. The battles are mixed between EO and Persona. You have stuff like All Out Attack, knocking down enemies when you hit a weakness sometimes and assist attacks, but there's a lot of EO style skills like elemental links, chasers, binds and whatnot.
never played an EO game before, but I love smt/persona. really liking PQ so far and will probably pick up EO4 if the game play is similar.
will probably still duck out discussing them on /v/ because of threads like this. I'm a shit eating weeaboo but some people it are still off the deep end.
This thread is proof that this board is awful during they day. This game really surprised me how good it is. It took elements from the older Persona games, like elemental physical skills, first person dungeon crawling, and status effects actually being really damn useful, and putting it back into the newer Persona skin. Plus, the lack of social links lets the game actually be about RPG gameplay, and it's great. I like just having characters interact with each other without them having to bring up all their heavy stuff like I HATE MY MOM or whatever. Plus Shinjiro being in the whole game is great. His interactions with Akihiko are great.
what EO game should i start with?i can only get the 3ds demos of untold and 4 because i have no money. are the games connected to each other
>>273770371
Shinjiro was 10/10 in this game. I like how he puts Akihiko in his place when he starts acting like a protein baby.
LEARN TO RESPECT YOUR FOOD
>>273762053
>no relationshits so not fun
Persona fags again.
>>273770521
Probably EOU as it has a complete remake of the first DS game.
>>273770521
There's some vague connections between each game that become mostly tenuous and cameos the further you get. It's really more of a "Hey thanks for sticking with the series this long" rather than actual continuity, so you can dive into 4 or Untold right away.
It's great so far, much better than SMT IV and slightly above EOIV in my opinion. Characters are reduced to their simplest expression in cutscenes but considering there's a lot more focus on the battle system it's cool.
I would have preferred complete control over both main and sub personas but it's already a great step from customization being restricted to the MC in 3 and 4.
>>273770371
>Plus Shinjiro being in the whole game is great. His interactions with Akihiko are great.
It's sad, this is most likely the last we'll ever see of him.
>>273770521
Not connected story-wise, but they do build off each other in terms of gameplay. You could either start with the best game, EO4, or you could start at the beginning with the remake, EOU. If you really can't wait and want to start now, you could emulate 1-3, but the first game is really broken. Some skills are needed to beat the game and some are completely useless.
>>273770610
Epic fake quote man, you sure showed them.
>>273767430
I'm saying it right now
P3Fes>P3P
Game feels and plays just like a Persona game minus the dating shit. Have nothing to complain about; game is awesome. A much better game than what SMT4 was.
>>273762053
how bullshit is this?
it's SMT + EO, two of the most bullshit series out there for just saying "fuck you, you die now"
