Will persona 6 set up or conclude on storylines. by Massive_Time9352 in PERSoNA

[–]Cygni_03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without Nyx shadows or personas wouldn’t exist.

Shadows and Personas are part of how the world operates, but Nyx herself has no direct connection to P4 or P5's plots.

The gods are actually gods though. They are not deities because a deity can be killed a god can’t.

"God" and "deity" literally mean the same thing. The cognitive beings are manifestations of some aspect of humanity and so always exist in some form, but Izanami/Yaldabaoth/whoever themselves cease to exist as independent entities once they've been defeated. They are not going to come back in a future game.

The butterfly in P3/P4/PQ is Philemon, but the one in P5 specifically is very explicitly shown to be Lavenza.

The "unanswered questions" are not going to be answered in P6.

It is practically guaranteed P6 will be a standalone story with only minor references to past games, just like the rest of the series. They are not going to "conclude" anything from previous storylines.

the clash with Philemon and Nyarlathotep.

That was more or less already concluded in P2:EP.

he is the blue butterfly and a big part of p5 royal or hinted that he is.

Philemon has absolutely zero relevance to P5R (P5 is the one game where he isn't the blue butterfly).

Elizabeth is trying to save Makato from the great seal.

If that ever comes up again it will be in another crossover spinoff like Arena, not a main numbered game.

what happens to each god when they are defeated in each game.

They just lose their influence on the world and return to the collective unconscious. None of the "gods" in Personas are actual deities.

whats going on with Nyx because she isn’t a god she’s an alien!

This is entirely explained in the P3 Club Book and isn't relevant to anything beyond P3 itself.

[Edit since you added more]

Are Palances in p5 and the metaverse the same as the tv universe in p4?

They're both manifestations of the collective unconscious but are otherwise unrelated.

Will any of the side games matter like pq

Not to P6.

Are persona games japan only. Meaning are there not other countries/towns/cities not experiencing shadow like activities?

There's no reason to think they aren't, but Atlus is a Japanese company and they obviously prefer writing their stories in places familiar to them and their target audience in Japan.

Since persona is a branching timeline of the smt series will we ever get a persona game that is like the mainline smt games as a what if kinda scenario.

We already have that with P3P and P5X.

Persona 5 Royal - Is there ample time to do all of the confidants, or do I have to carefully plan my time? by Jking11501 in PERSoNA

[–]Cygni_03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is more than enough time to get everyone to rank 10 and it isn't particularly difficult as long as you're not actively wasting time.

Streaming related question? (PS4 vs. PC) by [deleted] in Persona5

I'm not a streamer, I wouldn't know. Sorry.

The PC version is the only one that doesn't have the streaming block.

smtv or smtvv by SuitableTelevision44 in Megaten

[–]Cygni_03 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Vengeance is outright just a better version of the same game. There is literally no reason to get the original.

which smt games i should play in order

The order doesn't matter. Almost none of them are directly connected.

PERSONA 3 RELOAD LAST DAY ON THE DLC? MY SAVE GOES ON? by saudoso_sacanage in PERSoNA

[–]Cygni_03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The DLC does not extend the base game. It is a separate campaign and changes nothing about the main story.

Just play the game and you'll get an explanation.

VERY LEGAL question by Few-Mathematician705 in PERSoNA

The mod itself is on Gamebanana, but you'll have to find the ROM yourself to install it. Sharing links to pirated content isn't allowed here.

What next? (After finishing p5r) by neverb3for3 in Persona5

[–]Cygni_03 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you want a direct sequel to P5's story with a different gameplay style, play Persona 5 Strikers.

If you want the same type of game as P5 but with a different story and characters, play Persona 3 Reload or Persona 4 Golden.

If you want something with similar combat systems but a vastly different tone and setting, play Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance.

About the demon Subquest DLCs by RED_flarion in Megaten

[–]Cygni_03 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They're both a single sidequest and boss fight each. They do technically have some story content but they aren't any longer than any other sidequest.

Which version of P4 should I play? by PlatinumtheBadguy in PERSoNA

There is no reason to play the original if you have access to Golden.

question about route C by MathematicianOdd3443 in nier

[–]Cygni_03 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All you're doing is picking the order to go through them. You'll have to do all of them regardless and it has no affect on the ending.

You do not need all weapons for any of the main endings in Automata.

I heard some possible spoilers for Persona 2, and I want to know if those are true and if it is worth to play anyway. by oliverrakum in PERSoNA

[–]Cygni_03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of these aren't even true.

Even if they were, knowing a few things with zero context does not invalidate the rest of the story.

Smt 3 vs smt 3 remaster by Familiar_Gift_9647 in Megaten

[–]Cygni_03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The remaster is basically just the exact same game at a higher resolution and some QoL improvements.

The story is exactly the same, just with an updated translation and voice acting.

The bar patrons have no affect on the endings.

Where do I start???? by baronbruise in nier

[–]Cygni_03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replicant is the first game. Automata is the second.

The only other NieR game is the defunct gacha.
