Persona 3 - game of the year! It's out!

I usually have trouble with overly-complex battle systems, but this game isn't as complex as you'd think it'd be, and there's an excellent tutorial mode as well. Fusing Personae can seem a bit overwhelming at first, but you eventually get a compendium so you can buy back any Personae that you lose through fusion, so it's not really a problem. Overall, I'm really enjoying this game, and it makes me want to try the other SMT games (this is my first one)!

I don't see why any rpg veteran would still want to play rpgs that consist of stupid teenagers plotting to save the world, and their happy go lucky settings and shit stories, with gameplay that insults the players intelligence because they are so mundane and fucking easy. But that's just me. I've been spoiled by SMT. Once you go SMT you don't ever come back.

Well, I beat the 7/7 bosses. I didn't bring Junpei - I opted for Akihiko's Tarunda and Mitsuru's Bufula. Now, everyone is at level 23 and Junpei is at level 20 and this seriously disturbs me because I need everyone to be around the same level. u_u So I just gotta bring Junpei everywhere I go in Tartarus now. I don't feel motivated though, I have exams in just a few days so I'm studying my ass off and visiting the shrine a lot. Hopefully I'll get top of the class this time. <_<

i think it's impossible to be at the top of the class the first time you have exams since you were absent for a week and didn't know all the material.

Anyways, I've stopped using Junpei myself. He isn't that wiedly in battle. He can't use magic healing abilities like everyone else, he rarely ever learns new skills, and his swings tend to miss and he gets Downed more than the others. I like him as a character, but holy moly does he suck at battles.

1. Why is this game so addictive?
2. I didn't like Shin Megami Tensei and DDS 1+2, can this game convince me nevertheless?
3. Is it a dungeon crawler? Or is it more like advancing in this tower, until you reach the end?
4. Do you have to turn into a monster or is it this time just a option? I mean in DS it was like really necessary.

Thanks in advance

I don't have problems with Junpei, but I do find the others to be much more useful and versatile.

What's wrong with Junpei? =p
I'm being really anal and making everybody be the same level [of strongness] at the end of the day!
Well...except me of course XD;

So has anyone checked out all the vending machines? I was quite surprised and greatly amused to find a Battlestar Galactica reference hidden in one of them. Cylon Tea: 12 different varieties! Nice. I love it when two of my favourite things mingle with each other unexpectedly.

I need a good Garu-based Persona for the level 59 boss; my best at the moment is Narcissus, whom I'm not terribly fond of. Any suggestions?

level 59? I'm in that block right now and I just made me a Garu based Persona. Forgot the name.

I'm in the same block, on the 6/7 the night before the fool moon. For a garu Persona you'll probably want Fortuna, which is Yomotsu Shikome + Valkyrie/Inugami.

For this block I've probably got the most use out of Oberon (Media and Mazio) and Valkyrie (Mabufu), though Yomotsu Shikome is still useful to start a battle with since it has no weakness, and there's nothing worse than an enemy advantage when your weak to their attacks.

As for Junpei, I agree that him not having Dia is incredibly annoying, but at the moment he still gets a place in my team since the Spiked Bat makes him easily the strongest physical attacker (and gives 99 accuracy). I'm also using Mitsuru and Yukari.

I have everyone always at the same level... it's a policy I always have when I play RPGs, so I use Junpei. I don't mind though, his physical attacks range from Slash, Strike and Pierce, so it's useful when you wanna knock down Shadows not weak against any element. But yeah, his inability to use healing spells is annoying. I just got Aegis too. I prefer her original voice. It, doesn't, sound, like, this. The beach mini-game with the guys was fun too, and the end was pretty funny. I wish Junpei really went. <_< And the Yukari moment was weird... I was like "You shouldn't blame yourself." and she was like "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? YOU DON'T KNOW ME. YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE I'VE BEEN. HOW LONG I'VE BEEN THERE. WHAT I DID TO GET HERE." Then things got a little... intimate.

I got Aegis at level 29 and everyone is level 22 - 25, so I'm just leveling up a lot still. I still gotta do the quests for the block too... this month seemed to go by quickly - a week of exams and 4 days of vacation. I got top score on my finals and Mitsuru gave me a card set(boosts one Persona's stats - I just sell them).

When do the other characters join you? I got Akihiko recently, but I'm not hugely interested in a palooka when I can get a robot or whatever that shoots bullets from its fingers.

And what's the name of the guy with the suspenders and the fancified scarf? I keep seeing his silhouette in the opening and thinking to myself "that is one of the funniest damn things I've seen".

@Leb *Spoilers*
I think Fuuka joined on the 13th of June (and replaces Mitsuru's job) and after that you can use Mitsuru as a fighter. As for the others, I'm not sure.*/Spoilers*

I just beat the level 59 boss. It took me two tries, the first time he killed my main with Hama which I couldn't do much about. The second time I used Media pretty much every turn with Fortuna, swapping to Principality/Sarasvati to use Recarm (revive) when needed. I eventually ran out of SP before my team mates killed it (Mitsuru casting Bufu, Akihiko using Zio and Tarunda and Yukari on Heal/Support) so I had to use one Bead Chain, one Balm of Life and a Medicine. Definitely the toughest boss so far.

Just wait for Hierophant. Don't be afraid to use Patra. It'll save your life. <_<

Leb: Uhh... can't remember the exact date but Aegis joins the third day of your summer vacation. It might be 7/18, but don't quote me.
