do i need to play these games in order? purse owner thread
that image is stupid, maya is the real main character of 2
>>340796246
Nobody does
Some characters from 1 appear in 2 but no, you really don't.
>>340796246
no you don't have to but it's recommended if you want to play all of them then you should do it in order because going back to the old combat systems is hard
You should play 1, Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment in order.
Same goes for 3/4/Q.
However, you can play 1/IS/EP vs. 3/4/Q in either order.
>>340796532
Oh yeah I forgot, EP is a sequel to IS, you should play those two in order.
skip 1 and 2
those are stupid and fucking boring
>>340797048
Eat shit cancerous faggot
>>340796343
Tatsuya was innocent.
>>340797048
Shit taste.
>>340796362
I like how both Persona and SMT are listed in 3, 4, 1, 2 order. Weird.
That's not even the quality order.
SMT: II > SJ > III > I
Persona: 2 (IS > EP) > 3 > 4 > 1
>inb4 rabid, incorrect Nocturne/P4 fanfags
>>340797484
Ayyy, where's SMT IV?
Where's theHOY
>>340796246
No. Pick whichever one looks interesting to you. Just keep in mind that 3 and everything after is vastly different than the games before it in a lot of aspects.
>>340797653
Sorry I was just sticking with the ones in the image.
IV goes between III and I.
>>340796246
You're best off starting with P3Fes
>>340798631
You should be sleeping right now, princess
>>340796246
As someone that started playing the Persona games on the PS1, playing the older games in the series is a mistake. They are mobile game tier.
>>340796246
Skip 1, it's a bad game
2 is okay
3 is good
4 is good
People will tell you 1 and 2 are the pinnacle of the series and it went bad after 3 and 4, but they're mostly just trying to convince themselves they're hardcore gamers for liking the older games, when they're about as easy as 3 and 4. 3 and 4 go in a very different direction, so you might not necessarily like them but at the very least, they've got good music and improved gameplay. You might prefer the tone of 1 and 2, so I recommend playing 2: Innocent Sin if you're interested in the older games. If you would rather try the newer ones, go with 3: FES or portable.
>>340796246
Play both IS and EP and then stop playing, the rest of the games are shit.
>>340799804
2 had the best story, but easily some of the worst gameplay in the series. 2 is equal to 3 and 4 in my book. 1 is dated.
3>2:IS =2:EP>4>1
>>340796246
No but 2 is the best one.
3 is great and while 4 is similar. its too fucking anime to be as good, its still fine but expect to cringe a bit.
>>340801535
All the 4 cringe comes in shit like the arena, dancing all night, and Q. Vanilla P4 is fine, 4 golden only pushes it slightly
Nah, not at all.
I played 4, 1, 3 then both 2s.
>>340801124
I don't get what's wrong with Persona 2's gameplay.
>>340797249
>Tatsuya was innocent
But Maya is eternal.
>>340802594
It's slightly dated and slow. And in regards to IS, easy as fuck even on harder difficulties.
>>340802150
>4 golden only pushes it slightly
Marie.

>le funneh teddie comic relief
>awkward kanji scene #768234
>adachi the middle school emokid philosopher
Plenty comes from P4 itself.
>>340802594
Grinding for cards in order to fuse is terrible. Also the encounter rate and how many types of moves there are.
>>340802672
Ehh.
The punishment was for Tatsuya actually.
>>340802672
Tatsuya is a hansy boy. Marie doesn't even compare.
>>340796362
>smt1
>an amazing dungeon crawler
fucking lol. The first two SMT games are a mess and despite a cool setting fuck up almost everything. Megami tensei 1 and 2 are much better. Really nothing before the ps2 era was very good.
>>340797048
strange journey isn't very good either.
surprisingly SMT:nine on the xbox is good, as is majin tensei and spiral nemesis.
>>340803179
>Really nothing before the ps2 era was very good.
I hope you just forgot Devil Summoner 1 and 2 or that's a pretty shitty opinion.
>>340803364
Pretty sure he was talking about Persona, not mainline SMT.
>>340796246
fsteak.
>>340804356
same faging. I hate my life. lets talk more about P5.
If you didn't play 1 and 2, then don't say anything about them you dumb underage fucks.
I can even tell which one of you is pretending to have played them.
>>340804979
P3> P1,2, and 4
>>340804979
Pretty sure they're still bad after you play them too
>>340804979
P1 and 2 are pretty bad.
While P3 and 4 are more "casual", I still enjoyed them much more.
You should not play them at all since the series is entirely shit.
>>340802836
>>340802887
>All this missed opportunities and wasted potential in both arena and even more in the ultimax just so P4 could get praised more.
>How utterly needless P4D was being canon and every thing in it was expected to be taken seriously as part of the canon
Yeah She was forced, but nowhere near as force as the P4 pandering as a whole.
>>340796362
This needs to be updated with latest SMT
>>340808389
SMTIV, Soul Hackers 3DS, P4AU, P4DAN and PQ.
>>340808389
It already is, its an just an outdated version
DAN a best
>>340808873
>Jack Bros.
Wow.
They may as well have added DemiKids too.
And they should have just listed MT 1 and 2 seperately.
>>340808873
still missing a shitton of games
>>340796343
3 has a real main character too.
And it ain't some goddamn emo
>beat P1
>love everything about it
>beat innocent sin
>gameplay not as good but 10/10 story
>this thread
not gonna like later games am I?
3>2(EP)>4>2(IS)>1
>>340811905
Your not gonna like 4 that's probably certain
>>340810886
She also not canon, but Theodore is.....
Feckin, Neo-atlus
>>340812658
>She also not canon
Nuh uh
>>340812786
Bruh why wasn't she in ultimax as the stand in for door-kun with Orpheus telos?
