>second worst selling Persona of all timewhat happened?
>>724645747Switch 2 third parties are selling like shit everywhere. Doesn't help the game is a key card of a game released one year ago.
>>724645747Censored trash.Did it really sell worse than 2 of the first 3 games?
>>724645994What a whiny faggot you are. It's better than the original in nearly every way. The shit they changed was worthless shit in the original anyway.
>>724645747They fucked up so much FES is still the better game
>>724646340Nah
>>724645994>>724646340Retarded behavior, everyone.
P3P is still the best version of P3.
>>724645747too chuddy for zoomtrannies
>>724645825>>724645969ThisI guess that means no Persona 6 on Switch
>>724645747No gamay on da cart
>>724646460>ACK!
>>724645747It's the only Persona I've played. I thought it was good, but it goes on longer than it needed to.
>>724646407>Nah
>Protagonist has to die at the end because...well, he just does, okay?!Can't even die in the lap of the romance you chose, jesus fucking christ
>>724645747Atlus themselves admitted it was a shitty port. Why should I care?
>>724648161You VILL fuck ze robutt
>>724648161Aigis is best girl and he has to die because, unlike Narukami and Joker, Door is dealing with a primordial being. The others just have to deal with some manifestation of mankind through the lense of a god. Totally different ballpark.All this to say that Door-kun is canonically the strongest protag.
>>724646312Except sales number LOL LMAO
>>724645747I will not buy any game at $70 and certainly not a remake of a game I already own
>>724645747>Source: he made it up
>>724646340Not even close but I know you want your echo chamber do feel free to just whine endless
>>724649531>game I already ownBe honest you emulated it
>>724649665No I own it on ps2 same with p4
>>724645747Word is already out that its a shitty demake and it being a goy key card didn't do it any favors.
>>724645747nigger voice actorspoorly madewokecensoredetcwhy the fuck should i bother at all loli say the meta rn is buy used ps4/ps5only buy phyiscal used games on itthen buy a steam deck or something similar or a cheap ass non windows pc and pirate literally everythingalso could buy hacked wii 3ds psp vita wii u etcfuck the megacorps theyre all owned by blackrocki need to stop getting fast food lol
>>724649554>do feel free to just whine endlessgood morning saar
It's at 2 million. I would have expected more. It's on everything including PC. Persona 5 is at 10 million between it and royal.
>>724649941Wow, a game that's been out for 5x longer and has two versions sold 5x more? I can't believe it
>>724645747not p3 fes aka the definitive version
>>724645747Huh?
>>724649539Look it up, Persona 3 Reload on Switch 2 sold 7,000 copies, it very much under performed
>>724649459It was a success on every platform except Switch 2 though, lmao.
>>724651049>Switch 2 Who cares?We gonna discuss Stellar Blade sales on PS5 next?
>>724646312>>724646442Slay queens!
>>724649783>Better voice acting than the OG.>Overwhelmingly better than P5 and P4>Nothing woke about it>You're crying about the removal of a tranny? KysIt's the best Persona game, even as a remake.
not enough yukamitsu action
>>724650042it won't have p5's legs
>>724651049>>724645747Atlus wasting precious time and resources on a switch 2 port is very dumb. Only retards buy third party games on nintendo consoles, not to mention the shitty game key card thing. I hope the shitty sales numbers of p3r's switch port convince atlus not to bother with the switch 2 anymore
>>724651414>better voice acting than OG>overwhelmingly better than P5 or P4
>>724649941>It's on everything including PCNot on the Switch 1 though
>>724645747It was a terrible, censored UE DEI-make.
>>724652379this but with playstation and xbox
>>724654469Kill yourself PC fattie. PS5 is the ultimate way to play video games
>>724646460*P3FES + undub + controllable party mod
>>724654725>controllable party modyou didn't beat the game.
>>724645747Why the fuck should I spend $80 + tip to play basically the same exact game I played 10 years ago but it somehow looks worse? It having less content than FES, much less P3P makes it even more worthless.
>>724645747>GKC>Shitty port of the PS4 version when the Switch 2 can probably handle the PS5 version with some compromises >Came out over a year after everyone already played it on PS or SteamIt was doomed from the start and I hope Atlus does better with their Switch 2 ports next time.
never played it but the new ost slaps
>P3R sold very well>The Switch 2 port didn't sell at allThat's for the retards ITT that don't understand OP.
>>724655879The OST is great. I listen to it while working out every week.
>>724656068if that was op's point that that's on him thoughbeit
>>724645747There’s zero chance it sold worse than the P2 PSP ports
>>724652379P5R was a top selling on Switch. It's just P3R not being as popular since only oldfags like P3 and Atlus fumbling the port.
>>724656090Color your Night is a masterpiece, the best single released last year.
>>724645747tell me straight, should i play reload or fes?t. never player persona, but plan to go through the series
>>724657497Reload.
>>724657497Reload, don't listen to retards saying otherwise.
>>724657497FES or Portable, remake is retarded.
>>724657654>>724657989>>724658302reload is what reddit overwhelmingly suggests, so it made me worried. dunno what the general consensus is on /v/.
>>724648161Gues what anon, (you) are going to die at the end too
>>724657497reload desu
>>724657497P3P.
>>724658403>/v/>consensusAnyway you'll enjoy FES, that's how everyone played it until 2024. Reload is just better.
I boughted it for my superior Switch 2 and I'm enjoying it very much. I have a gaming PC that I'm going to sell, nothing beats the comfiness of the Switch form factor for JRPGs.Persona is barely known by Nintendo fans, and it released next to Pokemon which is next level retarded. Considering that, it sold pretty well. Now Atlus will release Persona 6 on Switch 2 day one, instead of being exclusive to the BarrierStation 5.
>>724654617keep coping snoygger
>>724645747It's on a console without games.
>>724646460>I'm trans BTW.
>>724645825>60€ on switch 2>30€ on ps5>and the game doesn't even come on the cartridgeAnd they'll wonder why it isn't selling...
>>724657497Play p3p as FEMC so your egg can crack
>>724645747Mediocre port that Atlus basically said was rushed out. Game-Key Card made having it physical less essential, which is a pattern now. The original release of P3R was also just not a massive hit in Japan, on top of later releases of games typically doing notably worse over there.Basically? It's a mix of Atlus releasing the game late on Nintendo platforms and Atlus not doing enough for the port's quality. Would have likely still not sold great, but assuming word of the port's shoddier quality got around over in Japan it likely made it do even worse.
>>724645747Explaining vaguely, Atlus doesn't want a Persona audience in a Nintendo console.The reason for that is pretty obvious.I wish they could be at least more concerned on how the market works by observing what happened to Square Enix, but I think it's asking too much from a japanese developer.
>>7246501502 million is a failure with current day budgets.Have in mind that they get like 20 to 30$ from a 70$ game.
>>724660256>The reason for that is pretty obviouswhat is the reason?
>>724645747metaphor won btw.
Abhorrent demake that killed the original tone
>>724660407Abhorrent baby game that has nothing going on for it, EO died for this piece of pseud garbage for literal mouthbreathers
>>724660407careful. Metaphor's superiority is very offensive to /v/
>>724657497FES if you’ve played a JRPG beforeReload if you were recently lobotomized
>>724645747Eveything, even Pokémon, is a flop on Switch 2.
Purse owner was always a playstation series. Even P5 Royal didn't do that well on switch.Japan is much less susceptible to marketing than westerners are, you tell discord trannies on steam that purse owner and dark souls and E33 are le best games ever and they all rush out to buy them, Japs aren't like that
>>724660519>RellaI'm still mad her section of the game was rushed as fuck. Where the hell was the Mage Academy dungeon
>>724660519please dont post my wife on this board
>>724660519>>724660748Dogshit inferior EO gameKill yourself nigger. You are living in the worst era of gaming. SMTV is badEO Metaphor is badPersona Demake 3 is badEat shit, stop killing the hobby
>>724660290It's a close remake with no preproduction or design phase, and they reused many assets (sounds, etc). They basically redrew geometries in a modern engine and rebalanced combat around party control. It's certain they are well in the green with 50M dollars Atlus revenue.
>>724657497Reload is just better in every way. FESfags are delusional and female protag whiners are just troons
>>724646701>>724659850>>724661024>le trans memes!All you have because you know P3P is superior.
>>724645747Denovo unironically.
>>724650129>patrician tastelol good one
>>724660818Why does Metaphor cause you to seethe so hard?
>>724660907I'm not saying they haven't recouped the money, but 2 million is a huge failure nowadays, but that might be why they're remaking 4 too since that's cheaper than coming up with 6 and selling just 2 million copies.
>>724656285>P5R was a top selling on Switch.>It's just P3R not being as popular since only oldfags like P3 and Atlus fumbling the port.basically thisplus atlus' modern games are hard carried by the west
>>724661314It killed a good IP for no reasonIt catters to normalfagsIt's boring, pedantic, and extremely long. reddit midwit material the game basically
>>724661323>I'm not saying they haven't recouped the money, but 2 million is a huge failure nowadaysThey made decent profit on something that occupied their B team for a couple of years. That's definitely a success and not a huge failure. What you are perhaps trying to say is that 2 million sales would be a huge failure in the alternative scenario of the current 200M+ budget AAAA games, but persona never was a series of this type (let alone a glorified remaster).
>>724660341Some devs want to let some franchises exclusive to Playstation because, based on their own reasons, they judge that there's a certain demograph there they're aiming to aim. They also judge they should aim to the west, so being on the platform who's leader there is their right call.Of course this is just some brainwash that the Sony VP did to those studios, because Switch has proven them wrong in each end of trimester, but at this point, they're just too attached to that platform to even consider alternatives.Or do you think it's normal that every game which manages to stand out somehow in the industry has some type of Playstation exclusivity?
>>724661728>aiming to aimfuck
>>724649443>All this to say that Door-kun is canonically the strongest protag.Canonically Tatsuya is the strongest, since that's what Igor says.>primodialNyx is an alien.>>724648161The great seal is an offering of life, against the wish of humanity to die and relieve itself of suffering. You cannot counter death without sacrificing life.Narukami flashed the goddess of lies with myriads of truth, dispelling the fog of lies. You don't die because of revealing the truth.Joka struck down the oppressor, you don't die from bringing tyrants down.That's the reason Door-kun had to die, and Yu and Ren got to live on.
>>724657497I'd say FES with mods (manual fusion inheritance, skippable fight animations, HD textures, undub) worked for me every time, but I never played Reload, so I can't really judge it.
>>72464574730fps

When you put your dogshit on sale 2 months after release.
>>724645747Anyone with a brain was already emulating P3 FES on PCSX2.Stop buying shit just because people richer than you told you to.
Who the fuck buys third party on Nintendo?
>>724664098>discounts are le bad
>>724645747I gave it a fair shake, but the opening cutscenes being a million times worse than FES didn't help.I'm sure the gameplay's less tedious but I'm not really sensitive to that in more RPGs, if the turn-by-turn decisions are good enough.
/v/ would make the absolute worst share holders ever. I'm relieved nobody on this godforsaken board is one.
>>724664447dumb nigger thinks the success of other businesses is his successLOL
>>724664335Thanatos's awakening was worse than FES and the animated cutscenes are stiff and unemotional, but the rest of the game is a massive upgrade including all 3D cutscenes. Reload is better than FES imo.
>>724657497>never player personaThen play Reload. It has enough bonus content that the Persona 4 remake will be out by the time you finish.If you're familiar with RPGs in general, I recommend playing FEStival unmodded. The mods replace cutscenes with clips from the anime (more colour & shading but worse in content & animation). Another common mod is party member control, but>you can control party strategies>letting the characters act makes them feel alive
>>724664156I have a ton of 3rd party Switch 1 games, because you can find a lot in used vidya shops for pretty cheap. Nintendo fucked up with game-key cards, I'm so put off the system in general because of it. I look at the Switch 2 seconds at my local shops and it's the same handful of 1st party Nintendo games, and then a bunch of dogshit game-key cards, with only rare exceptions like CP2077. It's so depressing and it's obvious they just sit there because no one wants them either. I hope they course correct soon.
>>724664498That's actually what I'm talking about, but you decided to feel called out and got upset instead of realizing that.
>>724664447ubisoft is deadparadox is deadAtlus called bankruptcy twice (mayhaps thrice perchance)Bethesda is... alive thanks to microsoft but it's been decades without a good gameThe only companies that are surviving are the ones with abusive GAAS and Micro Transactions. Gaming is dying and everything is alright with the world. /v/ wouldn't make the worst share holders ever, the share holders are the worst share holders ever and they shouldn't even exist in first place.Truth hurts.Kill the jew.
>>724664151You buy Reload for HD visuals and P5's combat system, fool. The quicker controls easily cuts 20 hours from the original game. There is no reasonable reason NOT to buy P3R other than being a try hard contrarian.
Persona 4 (2008) is the best persona game
>>724664723We know. But this is a P3 thread.
>trying out FES for the first time >fusion inheritance is a hassle >no party control >can't equip the party's weapons/armor/accessories outside of tartarus >can't check party's status/persona without asking them first >fatigue>shitty fast traveling mechanicsWhat the fuck is this?
>>724664098I never got the love for Unicorn Overlord, bought it for $30 and I played for about 10 hours until I realized the entire game is a boring press x to win instantly. The story is also more barebones than Metaphor. Character designs are literally it’s only strength and you can tell since all the UO threads are waifufagging.
>>724664862Yeah, I miss when Persona was functionally different than SMT and your party members felt unique and independent too. It's a fucking shame how 4 neutered the series.
>>724664862>fatigueThis is the only thing I wish Reload kept. It added to the immersion and encouraged using other party member combinations.
>>7246649685
>>724665061No, it's 4. 5 obviously went even further, but 4 was the one that not only caved and gave you direct control, but the party member AI is substantially worse than 3 so you're essentially forced to. Unlike 3, 4 was not actually designed with party member AI at its core at all.
Reload is one of the most faithful remakes ever and people still find a reason to cry about it.
>>724651171>We gonna discuss Stellar Blade sales on PS5 next?sure, 2m on ps5 1m on pc as of july
>>724665194whatever
>Game Key Card>$60>No DLC included>1080p30 in both modes>Terrible tuttering>Atlus admitted they rushed it out of the door in time for the holidays Meanwhile Switch 2 owners look around and see:Cyberpunk 2077>Fully on cartridge>All DLC included>Not an AA corridor simulator Star Wars Outlaws>Huge open world next gen only game>1440p30 with ray tracing>All DLC includedFinal Fantasy 7 Remake>$40>All DLC included>Not an AA corridor simulatorResident Evil Requiem>Next gen only, not a late port>$70 for the game, $90 for the RE7, 8 and 9 bundleAtlus was caught with their pants down thinking every other 3rd party is also going to bring low effort slop to Switch 2.
>>724665227Yeah, I love Theurgy trivializing the entire game, thank you Reload for being a faithful remake even though many tenets were fundamentally changed making it not faithful.
>>724665194Yeah god forbid the player get to do something more than once every 20 minutes. A game being interactive oh the fucking horror.You're a retard if you thought anyone, even the most hardcore p3 fan, ever liked babysitting retarded AI party members.Don't even start with the tactics menu I swear to god you faggots act like having 4 options turns it into final fantasy 12's gambit system. Kill yourself sperg.
>>724665308Put your party members on AI control and use tactics then, what's the problem? Does the game need to play itself for you to enjoy it?
>>724665308Reload is harder than FES.
>>724665358Uh, you didn't need to babysit them. The tactics menu existed for a reason and reigns them in for all encounters.
>>724665424Being autistic must be weird. You can't tell the tone is completely lost in the demake, you only see numbers go up. Hell on earth.
>>724665497>you only see numbers go upbut thats literally every jrpg ever made anon
>>724646340Not being able to control your party members is anti-fun>B-BUT MUH DESIGN PHILOSOPHY!!Fuck off
>>724665579Story, Dialogue, Tone, Characters, Music. There's more to life than reaching 9999999999999 numbers in disgaea. Not sure why autists like JRPGs so much when they are not able to understand them.
There are rom hacks that let you control your party members in the PS2 version if you are that blindly loyal to it.
>>724664862I don't know how they convinced themselves that Fusion is anything but a fucking hassle. It'd be one thing if you could obviously predict results 2 or 3 steps ahead without consulting external material, but it's too bottle necked by levels and slots. The smart thing to do would've been a persona storage, similar to Pokemon.
Fuuka not sounding like Betty White automatically makes Reload the superior version.
>>724645747Bought it digitally
>>724665813>persona storageIts called the Compendium and don't bitch about having to pay.
>>724665945But then you hear Akihiko not voiced by Liam O'Brien.
>>724665945I assumed FES fanatics at least played the undubbed mod. Also for all the complaints about localization, the reload translation is much better and the game had been trannylated in 2006.
>>724666112Good morning. Still fighting the trannies in your head sir?
>>724666106It's not as good, but his new voice isn't awful either

>>724666182>bothered by a casual insertion of a joke fit for the word usedYou're the type of people bothered by "gay" being used a a generic word of disapproval, aren't you?
>>724666371I mean that's just cherry picking at that point since Mitsuru or Akihiko have never once sounded like a teenager either.
>>724657497Play FESReload butchers the art style and changes the script to the PSP version, which was VN styled, meaning the characters and narration will describe shit you can already see.The biggest example of the script change is comparing the first animated cutscene. The original had 0 lines of dialogue from Yukari or the Protag, the Protag's music from his headphones blasting in the background in addition to the loud sounds, and quick transitions from the Protagonist to Yukari in the scene to convey the energy she is feeling. The demake REMOVES the music and has Yukari slowly talking to herself like a retard instead.
>>724645747It's full priced and it's a rushed port that atlus promised to "fix" later. Nothing to do with the game being GKC
>>724645747I love how salty fatlus is with pirates that they prefer not to sale their game rather than let a few faggot pirates play their shitty games. Like someone care about their mediocre games.

>>724645747There is no JRPG fanbase scene on the Switch despite what the Nintenodronoids on this shitty board want you to believe.Fucking 40k copies of P5R sold on Switch after that cringe ass BreakFreePersona campaign.Meanwhile it sold like 5 million on PS4 alone.
>>724665636It's not just the lack of party control. There's other stuff regarding P3's gameplay that annoys me. Not being able to guard, there's no menu to swap your party member's equipment instead you need to run your ass into Tartarus to do it. Knockdowns taking a turn to recover from, being able to run into your buddies in Tartarus. Persona 3 really does feel like a frustrating prototype of Persona 4 and it's why I'll always prefer Portable and Reload

I never thought I'd see another system rival the library of the ps2 but the switches is just as good if not better. It's the last great video game system.It's not worth owning anything besides a pc from here on out. Switch was kinda like a monkeys paw as it was a great system but was also the end of Nintendos dedicated budget friendly handhelds. DS/3DS + PC was the best option in gaming for the longest time.

>>724645994Persona 1 was the best selling up until P5 iirc
90% of P3R hate is troons mad that they can't play as the girl they shoved into P3P to give you a reason to buy it because it was such a shit port otherwise.

>>724686958yeah it's pretty obvious it's portable pussies pretending to be FES, especially when they make shit up about FES because they never played that version.
>>724645747Bad port, game keycard, blah blah. Also, PATCH IN THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK YOU FUCKERS! AND ADD A DLC TOGGLE TO P5R WHILE YOU’RE AT IT!! WHY DO THESE BASTARDS ALWAYS NEGLECT TO INCLUDE THE MOST BASIC FEATURES IN THEIR GAMES??!
