so, not gonna lie, given i actually went and played Persona 2: innocent sin, because i heard the concepts in and found it interesting enough i just had to play it, but found the dungeon crawling core game play a slog, I would love a modern style persona game that takes some of the core concepts of p2note  and remixes them into a package that actual uses the ideas more than what felt like window dressing for old school dungeon crawling.

Yeah no one would disagree the gameplay is a slog, especially with the menus.

Says a lot even with steamlining it as much as possible its still pretty bad in the PSP versions.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.

Even 1's original aesthetics and audio presentation was fucked with in the PSP version. better translation by miles, but there's a lot of little flourishes and notable tracks only in the original game.

Remakes could do with the Desu events if thhey want more story. The dungeon crawling doesn't leave much room between plot chunks.

Also 1 would mean losing out on potentially three entire developed characters since you have to pick.

So It just so happens I got P 5 R for Christmas. Havent had the time to dig into it yet, but im eager to finally try it out and see what's improved and changed. Tho I must admit, after emberassingly failing to max out the Sun confidant in P5 vanilla, im tempted to look through a walkthrough for prime social link days.

no shame in that. I found this guide particularly helpful myself.

Just visit him every Sunday, and he gets maxed out very quick.

i also wouldn't stress about it TOO much. Royal gives you plenty of time to max out all social links even on a blind playthrough.

God, I was an idiot when I first started 5. I spent pretty much all the free time the game gave me grinding in Mementos, and barely did any Confidants. Didn't even max out any non-story progressed Confidants, barring Kasumi since it's only 5 ranks and the rest are unlocked in the Third Semester.

I am following the guide and boy does it bother me when I miss a guideline and have to do the link on a later day.

Also how I have to wait a while before starting new links.

I'm very anal about this shit.

Doing Kamoshida's palace in one go is pain in vanilla.

Yeah, the first is always the hardest to do in one go. Makes them incredibly fun though, especially if you start running on fumes.

You go from "I am just a level 1 goblin, please don't hurt me 🥺" to BOW DOWN BEFORE THE ONE YOU SERVE, YOU'RE GOING TO GET WHAT YOU DESERVE. I ended entire mini boss fights on his palace just by spamming Joker's pistol.

And this is why they dropped the gun mechanic since 1. Well, that and the grid system.

Watching an LP of Persona 1.

So it has "you can't see anything" rooms like SJ. Or I guess SJ has rooms like P1'S or probably just a old Mega Ten CLICHE.

It's bad. Worse than teleporter puzzles, gonna say it now.

SMT was first-person until Nocturne, and even then it went right back to FP. If it's not going back to read on all the party NPC dialogue, it's not a solid LP. First three games have a ton of banter.

There's nothing wrong with first person dungeons - P2 IS had shit dungeon designs, too even when going third person.

You can't see anything is just bad dungeon design.

That reminds me how I went through EGG Facility in DDS 2 the second time without realizing I had items to light it up and mostly trusting my mini map [lol] To be fair, it made this visit extra creepy and very memorable.

I'll always appreciate the extra mile with arranges like that that use real instruments.
