i’ve only watched a playthrough of persona 1, but i can see u as naoya!! that just makes me think though, idk ur character Type well enough but i wonder which characters from persona 2, 3 and 4 (as the only ones i’ve actually played and finished advfsdg) you’d vibe with the most… hmm

hiii fae my dude just dropping in to share some stuff for if you and/or any of ur pals wanna get into the rest of the persona series!! I remember seeing someone on ur blog asking about it so I thought I'd pass on my knowledge. you don't have to post this but I thought if anyone has a question this may be of use!: (also I forgot how much I may have already mentioned so hope I'm not repeating myself too much)

you can play them out of order cos they're all individual stories! I'll let you be the expert on p5/royal cos I haven't played it though. p4 golden, the one a lot of people start with, is available on steam too (and ps vita but the store is annoying to get through).

everything else in the main series (essentially p1-4) can be found on the site vimm's lair as well as emulators that can run em!! (I can vouch for the site's safety as well). p1, p2: innocent sin and p3 portable can all be played on android this way using the apps retroarch or ppsspp (both are free and without ads).

p1-2 were originally for the PS1 until getting psp ports, and p1 especially plays quite differently to the rest of the series, so if they're not for you gameplay-wise there's still commentary-free walkthroughs out there. p2 is broken up into two games, innocent sin and eternal punishment, the latter also has a psp port but hasn't got an english translation so you'd have to play the English PS1 version. in these, your whole party can use almost any persona, but the sp cost of their moves differs depending on that persona's arcana and the character's own. also these ones aren't a day to day life thing and have no social links - I highly recommend p2 though, despite all that it's got lovely characters and great story that got forgotten about cos it's older and slightly less accessible.

p3 was the first PS2 persona game and thus has some awkward gameplay things (like not being able to directly control your party members). the FES version has a lot more added things and a decently long playable epilogue called "the answer", while the psp/portable version keeps what it can while being easier to play (quality of life stuff got added like actually being able to control your party directly) and has the option of playing as a different protagonist with a bunch of new social links, but lacks "the answer" and a lot of the 3d and animated cutscenes. you're not really missing out either way though since it's mostly the same experience! this story really touched my heart honestly.

there's not much to say about the original p4 vs the golden version cos most people prefer the latter! especially since the steam port adds custom difficulty settings so you can personalise it. story wise, it's fun, but there's a lot more issues I had with the way some characters are portrayed in this than in the others.

overall tip for all of them: don't look on characters' wiki pages, use a guide for the earlier games cos you'll need it, uhhh have fun!

(hope this is not a bother!! enjoy the rest of p5r dude 😎👍)

!!!!!!!! not a bother at all thank you thank you thank you

re: my last ask, if u do end up playing the other persona games i hope you enjoy them !! id be more than happy to talk abt em if u wanted to play in any order other than backwards, or just wanna know what to expect :) p2 and 3 are personally my faves, especially 2 bc one of the characters is a gay clown (not even exaggerating. he’s called joker and is similar but different to p5’s joker! fun)

TY i will!!! love this series so far holy shit everyone was right. and in relation to your other ask.. yea i guess no media will ever be perfect 😭😭 my first fandom was d*nganronpa so im no stranger
