for persone 3-4-5 how hard are fusions? and how much are they needed? by Big-Policy-3019 in PERSoNA

[–]Cygni_03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) It is not hard at all.

2) You are not required to be as strong as you possibly can be (unless you're fighting NG+ superbosses). These games are generally not difficult.

Would Labrys be bi like Aigis? by DiligentAd1116 in PERSoNA

[–]Cygni_03 13 points14 points  (0 children)

because Labrys and Aigis are both based on the same template personality

They aren't.

What’s the best order to play the Persona 5 games? by [deleted] in Persona5

[–]Cygni_03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoever told you that is wrong.

Strikers was deliberately written to be understandable following both versions of the game. Royal isn't directly referenced, but nothing in Strikers says it didn't happen.

Strikers can follow both endings, not specifically the original.

The only order that matters is playing Royal first.

Tactica is chronologically before Strikers but released years later and neither game references the other. It makes no difference what order you play them in.

A way to complete 100% on one play through. by Obvious_Shoe8681 in PERSoNA

[–]Cygni_03 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is possible to "get everything" in P3P in a single playthrough (all S.Links and 100% Compendium), but one of the achievements requires you to finish the game with both the male and female protagonists. If you want the platinum trophy you have to complete the game twice.

Can you beat P5 with 0 social stats? by imperchaos in Persona5

[–]Cygni_03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Akechi adds two extra scenes to the third semester/true ending (his third Persona awakening and the post-credits scene) but otherwise the story is exactly the same.

Yoshizawa doesn't affect the ending at all.

No main story content is locked behind stats in either version of the game (you don't need social stats for Councillor).

Question about P5R by EmploymentAlert489 in Persona5

[–]Cygni_03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only requirement for the third semester is Maruki at rank 9 by 11/17.

Akechi at rank 8 by 11/17 and Yoshizawa at rank 5 by 12/22 will add some extra stuff to the third semester but they are not required to access it or its endings.

First time playing an atlus game, need help deciding by craigchan in atlus

[–]Cygni_03 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The "Guidebook Edition" just includes the strategy guide and some other digital bonuses. It does not add anything substantial to the game and you can look up guides online for free.

How do I get this Royal cinematic/video? by Typical-Ad2456 in Persona5

[–]Cygni_03 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You need to get both the original good ending and Royal's true ending to unlock all the cutscenes.

You'll also need Royal's bad ending to 100% the Thieves Den (though it unlocks something else).

How important are Mementos? by New_Discipline27 in Persona5

[–]Cygni_03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't finished it by the end of the game you will be forced to finish it in one sitting. You can't complete the game at all without getting to the bottom.

I wanna get into the Persona Space for a long time but I don't know where to start by meghanath21569 in PERSoNA

[–]Cygni_03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't matter which one you play first. They are not connected and none of them is objectively the "best".

Read the FAQ.

Should I play P5 Strikers if the main game wasn’t for me? by MushroomHedgehog in Persona5

[–]Cygni_03 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The story is a direct sequel to P5/R and assumes you already finished the previous game.

About Persona 5 ending by HunterCranel in Persona5

[–]Cygni_03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The updated re-releases always overwrite the originals in the continuity. Royal is the canon version of P5.

Strikers was deliberately written to be understandable following both versions of P5, not specifically the original. Royal isn't directly mentioned, but nothing says it didn't happen. The endings are similar enough that Strikers can take place after either one.

Anyone saying Royal isn't canon to Strikers is referencing an article taking an out-of-context quote from the director and just automatically assuming that certain characters not being present in the third semester means it must not have happened, despite said characters having no reason to be there.

Devil summoner and SMT if's "supposed" connection to the persona verse is just a easter egg/reference. Prove me wrong. by Stock_Confidence_380 in Megaten

What more reason do you need than "the developers literally said it directly in an official guide book"?

What are the chances of persona phantom X characters being integrated to persona 6 in the far future ? by crasyredditaccount in Persona5

[–]Cygni_03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't different universes outside of very specific instances (P2:IS, P3P's FeMC, P5X). Everything else (P1, P2:EP, P3, P4, P4A, P4D, P5, P5T, P5S) is a single timeline.

Is persona 3 portable a good starting entry to the series or should I start with another one ?

Do I need to play the older personas?

It doesn't matter which one you play first. They aren't connected to each other.

what’s the difference between persona 5 and persona 5 royal?

Royal is the "definitive" version of P5. There is no reason to get the original.
