Started playing this and absolutely loving it, I played part 3 years ago on the PS2 but could never get into it. I found it weird and baring in mind it was after I had played persona 3 and 4 so it was vastly different from them and I dropped the game. I went into this knowing it was different from those games and enjoying it a lot more. Would you all say this is better than 3 because after this I am seriously considering picking up 3 again.

3 is definitely worth playing through even if there are a couple of extremely difficult battles especially toward the end. 5 gameplay wise is better even if I think 3 had the more interesting story.

Shohei got that work this morning. I had my main at 45 with Macabre and Black Frost throwing Dark at him with Yoshytsune in the cut as my Healer/Buffer :lolbron: he didn't stand a chance. He was destroying my old party in 1-2 turns before. I love that this game forces you to constantly fuse and switch your party up

With essences though you really don’t have to switch like that, unless a fuse grants a significant level up. I love how levels don’t mean shyt at times especially against bosses, if you can’t counter what’s thrown at you then it’s your ass.:ufdup:

Story is not holding me at all. I'm still early on I guess but I can't believe how underwhelming things are so far.

I would have beaten this game already, but the thought of turning it on to play and trudge through open space and lacking story

:francis:

Not to mention, the music and actual world building took a huge step back from 4...

Only fun I'm having is fighting boss battles.

Just beat it, the game becomes laughably easy at the end. High pixie the MVP, she fukked shyt up for the entire game.

fukk Tao for joining the squad, having me invest resources into maxing her stats, then leaving before the final battle

Just booted this up. This game runs like shyt. :picard:

I might have to start emulating these switch games at this point. The switch hardware is just way too bad
Don't bother playing this docked. It's a bit better on handheld because of the lower resolution but yeah :francis:

So far I only play it docked and have had zero problems guess everyone’s experience is different.
