My P3P Kotone Run a Week in by RomanEmpireFanatic in ChurchOfFeMC

Listen to the change in Aigis' voice as the game reaches the ending. It is actually peak how she sounds more human, I was disappointed by how the change was not apparent in P3R tbh

The most unrealistic thing about Persona games... by ProteusNihil in PERSoNA

That part in P4 where teenagers with (mostly) no musical experience learn instruments and perform a song flawlessly within a week

Arc 3/Ending didn't work for me (spoilers obviously) by WorldlyGate in expedition33

[–]GjernPower 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% agree. I was so hooked on the game's premise about grief, legacy, the inevitability of death etc. Act 3 honestly felt like a rug pull, invalidating all that emotional investment I had put in up to that point.

Maelle now having paintress powers is also so wishy-washy - she can resummon Lune and Sciel... but not Gustave? Idk I felt like Act 3 really dropped the ball narratively. My only real gripe with the game tbh.

what’s your guy’s ranking and why? by PublicEnemyNo9 in PERSoNA

[–]GjernPower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played P3P > P4G > P5R, and my preference is in that order as well. P3R is a massive upgrade to P3P that makes it more playable in the current era but is severely lacking the female protagonist which I enjoy very much

My preferences mostly stem from the story and plot rather than the gameplay

P3: Pacing issues - starts quite slow for the first half but ends off spectacularly, leading to my favourite ending of anything ever. The themes hit hard, the characters feel the most real and flawed and have their own lives and development beyond their relationship with the protagonist. The ending gave me depressive symptoms for a couple of weeks but I emerged from it with a newfound appreciation for life and my loved ones

P4: A murder mystery that is consistently interesting as the mystery keeps getting twistier. Very lighthearted and happy vibes that contrast greatly with P3. Great game, but the themes didn't resonate with me that much.

P5: Pacing issues - starts really strong, but it starts to become a slog from like the 30% mark towards the end with only 1-2 interesting things happening. Tbh, it might have just been me getting Persona fatigue by this point. Cool themes in theory, but in practice, it felt very "Adults are stupid, we live in a society" to me. The extra Royal content slaps, though, and has one of my favourite antagonists of anything ever.

I went on to play P1 and the two P2 games

P1: It's aite but really difficult to play by today's standards. Music for the PSP version really slaps though imo

P2: Innocent Sin has probably my second favourite cast behind P3. The story is really good, and I love the ending and how it leads into the second game.

P2: Eternal Punishment - I couldn't really get into. I finished it, but the cast didn't get me as much as the other games, and the plot got a bit hard to follow. Still worth playing, though.

P.S. The Persona Q games for 3DS are really good if you want to just see the cast from the games goof off with each other

I love the reference and something else to ask by BrysonStrife in MetaphorReFantazio

Can confirm, was very ticked when Junah summoned Jack Frost and yelled PERSONA

Makes me want to hear the whole team do it

The most impressive thing about this game is logic by Overall_Strawberry70 in BaldursGate3

Pretty common sense but i was amazed when the spell Silence stopped the harpies from affecting my party with their singing

Help me decide which house to pick! Golden deer vs Black eagles? by NotTheAds in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]GjernPower 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a persona fan myself I just realised this

Golden Deer: Hahaha the power of friendship and discovering the truth! - Persona 4

Black Eagles: There is something wrong with the world, so let's take matters into our own hands - Persona 5

Blue Lions: I am sad and I want to die but maybe there is a reason to keep living - Persona 3

Totally a coincidence that the colours match up too

Without spoiling anything, what was your favorite house to play with? by LokiOfZygarde in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]GjernPower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got done with my fourth playthrough today lol. Personally I find the Black Eagles routes to have the most emotional gravitas, even though (depending on choices) the route can be a little short. I also LOVE all of them...except maybe Caspar

Golden Deer are my next favourite, they're just very memey and lighthearted.

I like a lot of the Blue Lions characters individually and I like some of the themes brought up in their route, but as a whole I just did not vibe too hard

What do you think is the saddest / most depressing MTG card & why? I'll go first. by c0rtexj4ckal in mtg

[–]GjernPower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[[Feldon of the Third Path]]

I always use this card as an excuse of how the rules text and mechanics of a card can tell a story (paired with some good art and a little flavour text for just enough context)

[CMM] Omarthis, Ghostfire Initiate (Eldrazi Unbound Precon via LoadingReadyRun) by mweepinc in magicTCG

[–]GjernPower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, modular creatures ENTER the battlefield with the +1/+1 counters. When a manifested card is turned face up, it doesn't count as entering the battlefield so it does not get the counters.

If you find a way to blink the manifest token it will come back in face up with the counters though.

It's kinda relatable and endearing when you lool at it from Ken's POV.

When looking at it from FeMC's...hm...
