I've been wanting to get into the series for a long time now and have finally decided to stop being a lazy bum and actually try one. What's the best Persona game for a newcomer to the series preferably on the 3DS
>>320567224
3 FES - 4 Golden - Wait for 5
>>320567224
Whatever you do DONT play p4 before p3.
>>320567224
It's honestly too easy to be enjoyable and too poorly written to be comfy. Play an actual dungeon crawler or an actual visual novel instead.
>>320567224
Also most of the persona games are on playstation systems.
Persona q is the only thing on the 3ds.
>>320567224
Just don't. Save yourself from the world of MegaTen. You'll either become a P3/4 waifu shitter or you'll get called a buttmad elitist by waifu shitters.
I feel so empty.
>>320567224
all the characters in PQ are pretty watered down as far as their personalities are concerned so it should be something to play after playing P3 and 4p4 golden isn't worth it

>getting made people call you out for what you are
>>320567224
Emulate 4 because it's more fun and more streamlined than 3
if you like it, play through 3 also
if you finish those, do Persona Q because it's a crossover of 4 and 3
skip the lame fighting games (Arena)
If you really want to do some old-school 90's JRPG, then Persona 2 was pretty awesome also

I'm not mad at being namecalled, I'm depressed about the state of the community.
>>320567224
Play Persona 2 and 3
Ignore 4 because the story is garbage, and that's literally the only reason to play Persona
Q's pretty alright, then play some SMT games
Fuck off bandwagonfags.
>>320568291
i'm alright. 4 is better anyway
>>320569747
Why? Most SMT fans I see on this board like the look of P5 just as much as Persona only fans. P4 was really bad for SMT fans admittedly since it was campy as fuck but P5 has looks like it has enough coolness to it for SMT fans and has enough SoL shit for Persona fans

getting real tired of this meme
If you only have a 3ds go play SMT IV,DeSu 1 and 2 too instead of Persona Q which is a spin-off that has P3 and P4 characters.
If you want to play Persona though,start with 3 then 4
>>320570202
no you're a meme
>Persona 4 was one of tumblr's most reblogged games of 2015
Literally Undertale tier at this point
>>320570404
Stop fucking memeing, both of you! Memeing is what's killing us.
>mfw hating memes is a meme
SMT Nocturne
Throw waifu/furfag sims in the trash.

How did it get so popular so far after it's launch?
Get persona 3 FES, if you liked it play P3P, if you wanna move one play P4, any version is ok
After that play P1 then P2
>>320572447
They keep making P4 games.
>>320567224
Persona Q is the only one on the 3DS and you CANNOT start with that, it's a crossover game and basically requires prior knowledge of either 3 or 4.
Emulate Persona 3 or 4, they're both good. The Vita enhanced port of 4 is the best gameplay-wise in terms of streamlining and gameplay optimisations, but the original Ps2 version is fine. FES is the best version of P3, while the PSP port removes the cutscenes but has the better gameplay of 4. Your choice.

I forgot DAN came out to boost popularity.
>>320572752
Glad someone mentioned P1 and 2.
>>320568291
Actually, don't play P4 at all.
>>320567224
P4 is cool don't listen to those faggots, start with it if you want.
