Persona General Discussion Thread

Lol. I hope they give us something cool in Golden. Something along between ultimate and severe damage atks. That would be nice. Think I'll play this over a couple of times. I just can't stand the first Persona right now.

**Kuro** · 09-01-2012

85 hrs and 32 minutes.
I beat the game last night it was pretty fun(course everyone was at Lv99 which it it pretty easy lol)
It was a fun ride. I throughly enjoyed the game. I'm doing femC route right now on New Game+ It's pretty cool I retained my lv99 and my academics,courage,charm is maxed. The only thing bugging me is the pink. Lol I think I'll get used to it though.
I'm kinda confused a bit in the ending.

Dang, you really played through the game!.

As for the end, that depends. On Portable you can imagine what you wish because that's the real ending. In FES(Yes, itachi73378 keeps getting the good stuff) the story is prolonged with "The Answer"; tells you the meaning behind the normal ending of Persona 3. There's a catch though, "The Answer" is set in hard mode with well over a year after the main story and since the main character is Aegis, you start from scratch. I think it's best if you find out for yourself.

Get ready to do a lot of grinding. The boss battles are a bitch. >_>

I gave up half-way actually. I Youtube'd the rest >__>

**itachi73378** · 09-02-2012

I'm 42hrs into FES. When I first started persona 3 I found many great p4 things missing, like manual control of teammates, using teammate's skills out of battle, party's status option in menu etc. but now I've quite gotten used to it. Also I'd like to ask the veterans something; I here that there are bad, good and true endings to FES. How do you get each one? (no spoilers if possible)

Still waiting on the golden release date. according to gamestop its 23rd October

**Fon** · 09-02-2012

Bad Ending: An individual will give you an option to end it earlier
Normal Ending: Finish Tartarus
True Ending: Complete, The Answer(Pttf, good luck!)

I agree that Persona 3: FES is the most difficult compared to Persona 4. I question myself how I was able to beat it in the first place >_>

**itachi73378** · 09-02-2012

All I'll say is it certainly takes time to become indifferent to the AI's attack choices. There nothing you can do so why freak out about it.
starting out it seems really impossible to play without it, but you have to put up with it.

Actually the ONLY thing I wish the AI did was use items to revive teammates. They never revive anyone!

**itachi73378** · 09-02-2012

So I've seen the game over screen like 5 times ina row now because of the floor 135 boss.
A sleeping Table that uses maragidyne and megidola that almost instant KOs my part members. Once I got it to 1/3 health

**Kuro** · 09-02-2012

Your lvl might be a bit to low man. Here's a few tips. Use magic mirrors,Heal alot,Have a persona with fire null,absorb,or str. Good luck.

**itachi73378** · 09-02-2012

Doing all those already

Megidola is unaffected by magic mirrors.

**Kuro** · 09-02-2012

Yea it's neither phys or mag. It's a pain in the ass but once you take it slowly your pull though. Sucks you can't give your team mates direct orders :/

**itachi73378** · 09-02-2012

Beat that sucker and got old document 6

**Fon** · 09-03-2012

The old documents are meh-ish. Just tells you who wrote the documents which isn't a very surprising revelation.

**Kuro** · 09-03-2012

It's just something to do to get you some items and yen man. lol
oh btw Damn second playthrough is so easy battles are literally 2 sec's

The fruits of your hard work are paying off. I remember solo-ing the entire game(Minus my final battle) during my second playthrough in FES.

Lol hell yes. Just rocking it with Messiah,Odin,and Flaros my mains. Yea that Final battle was annoying. :/ Trying to do all the social links as well to get what's his name.

Try not to complete one social link at a time.

-Leave your party member's/outside school social's for last and concentrate on the school exclusive ones
-Always have the respective persona for each social link to evolve them faster
-Take note of time and availability for each one
-Make sure each day is filled with a social link(If possible)
-If you've maxed out your status' then don't waste your time studying(lol).

Those are all the tips I can give you. Now go get that Telos!.

**itachi73378** · 09-04-2012

I feel like such a noob. Ever since I started playing I didn't know what the cursed "Death Draws Near" card was, so I assumed it increased my chances of getting instant KO'd by hama and mudo skills. Now 45 hours in, I was randomly grinding last night on floor 128 and drew that cursed card again. Seeing the card I was like "I got homunculus biatch, you aint touchin me!"
Some time later Fuuka says "Be careful I sense death nearby!" and at that moment the bitter truth dawned on me that Death is the reaper you guys have been talking about and he is going to rape me. Extremely frightened of losing much progress I used the escape gem and high tailed outta there

Now I wanna go a few round against death (apparently its instant KO)

**Kuro** · 09-04-2012

Thanks Fon maxed Rios,working on the monk,old couple,and,the student council lvl 5 on them. Lol Itachi the thing was glowing black man. That's a curse seal

Yes unless you have Armageddon you are screwed since he spams that instant kill move.

**Blacksite** · 09-04-2012

I think Death draws near when you spend too much time grinding on the same floor. But it's fairly easy to avoid an actual encounter with him.

**Kuro** · 09-04-2012

Yeah there's 3 main ways he appears to much time grinding,the cursed card cuts the time he'll come and when your on a floor with no enemies.

**itachi73378** · 09-04-2012

I drew the card AND spent a significant time on one floor cuz I was going after the sword cards for a request

When I first encountered him, I thought I could take him(Had a "Come at me bro!" moment). He kicked my ass almost instantly, lost a ton of progress and frustrated the hell out of me for making me lose hours of game-play. He's that good.

Have a Persona that can null Hama and Mudo skills because he will abuse the hell out of them!.
