persona 3 fes thread!

ok fellas lets start with usual generic info! u can buy this game on the psn for $9.99 and play it on ur ps3. now u might ask, why are u playing FES instead of directly playing portable? well this is because rumour (ahah) has it that FES is actually p different from portable

so i want to test this for myself. the game was released in 2007 (added on the psn in NA/EU in 2012) as a remake of p3 with the additional "the answer" quest! this marks the beginning of the second persona triology, which has very different dynamics from the first 3 games

the underlying theme of this new game is death and the concept of it, unlike that of the first three games which i suppose its more about finding ur dreams and accepting urself? or something like this. the protagonist does not have a name (unlike what happens in the p2 duology).

my fav canon name for him is minato arisato, so this is what i am going to call him in this thread and future other stuff. he moves to iwatodai and ends up joing SEES, a group of student that is researching and trying to solve the riddle behind weird coma-states in which the

people of iwatodai seem to fall randomly, without any mean of being cured. now, minato arisato (16yo) is the first instance of the protag being a wild (or fool) card, and this is also the first game in which he is the only one capable of switching personas. his starter is orpheus

(funny as orpheus is mostly famous for being linked to apollo (!!) and for his journey in the netherworld to save his beloved (!!)). other characters are: yukari takeba (lovers; persona: io; 16), junpei iori (magician; persona: hermes (yes, again); 16)

fuuka yamagishi, who is the navi, a figure that the first triology did not have (priestess; persona: lucia; 16); mitsuru kirijou (empress; persona: penthesilea; 17); akihiko sanada (emperor; persona: polydeuces; 17); ken amada (justice; persona: nemesis; 10);

koromaru (strength; persona: cerberus); shinjiro aragaki (hierophant; persona: castor; 17) and finally aigis (chariot; persona: palladion; 8 - but shes a robot). as u all can see every persona comes from greek mythology and most have to do with stories of death

anyhow. the school this time is gekkougan high! i wont be using guides this time as i dont think a walkthrough is needed. also if this is like p3p, then i think all the boys wont have social links - another new dynamics, which allows u to deeper ur bond with ur mates

by spending time with them. this game has basically a dual gameplay, that reflects the fact that u do live a double life: that of a student, and that of a member of SEES. so while the first games had only the dungeon part, this one game and the ones following it also require u

to perform normal high school student actions like studying, spending time w ur friends, part time working, etc. so a lot will go into planning what to do with my time too! by the end of the game, there should be an additional scenario (called "the answer") where aigis is the

protag! ill add changes on relevant info on this when we get there :D

we have begun

i love how everyone turned into a coffin and minato is just strolling around like that's none of his business

just peed

so the game starts on the 5th of April, 2009.. i forgot to give a year reference to everyone's age fixkdm ill do it later

he was my fav confidant when i first played p3... he...

THE MAN HIMSELF

atlus had to be aware of what they were implying when they did this...

pics taken before a disaster

he always says this but this time it's truly been 10 years...

[NSFW] when he sees shinjis meat

i know she was talking about something else but what's up with everything exploding in 1999

apparently minato exchanges inappropriate jokes with junpei... now this is something i wouldnt have expected

the shadows looking like black blobs instead of. proper organisms is such a downgrade...

orpheus starting with a bash skill.. idk why i was sure he was a bufu starter

APROXIMATELY 170 PERSONAE?!!!
AND THEY NEVER HAD A VISITOR LIKE THIS BEFORE?!

whats up with this game and accepting responsibility

wheres kenji

apparently i cant decide what the others do so... damn this is gonna be a hard game to play

decided to join the track team and leave the swimming team for minako !!

hes so cute omg when left idle he stretches... baby boo...

some dates:
04/ 22 - magician arcana start
04/ 23 - chariot arcana start (pick a sports club)
04/ 25 - hierophant arcana start (go to the bookstore in iwatodai station, go back to gekkougan to pick the tree leaf, go to the bookstore again)

gonna try this boss one more time and if they dont die ill just go to bed

WHY IS THE SECOND BOSS FIGHT SO HARD??!!

ok fuck those hands i did it.. ill keep going maybe i can reach floor 15 on my own

idk but this is peak gay male form to me. women? idc

oh it's the same shop in p5...

ok wow rude??

my excuse is that im gay good sir

why is he being so nasty today

imagine ur lvl5 minding your own business on floor 4 of tartarus and this btch hits you up wyd

he's so nice all bcs i said i liked the spice in the ramen

why does it say "our blessing"??? who's we

oh he knows kenji too...

himbo

the funniest shit about this game is that they probably got out of school with a lot of random info about the sengoku era

anyways the fact that. big bad boss is nyx and they fight in tartarus and theres the whole thanatos thing... be honest this is just a sqq ripoff

WHAT DOES IT MEAN MY CHARIOT REVERSED CAUSE I CANCELED PLANS WITH KAZUSHI

my dumbass forgot to take elizabeth to pauwlonia mall so... here the event.. now i will never be able to fuse hua po im st0pid

WHY IS HE SO MEAN TO ME????

but it says a lot about minato that junpei claims he's a slucker ig that's the kind of vibes he has

he's so nice :( i love that he worries for mitsuru

nothing much to say about this i Just want to record all stuff they say about minato to understand his underlying personality

BOYS

INSIDE LUNARVALE HOSPITAL THE P1 REFERENCE TOO???????

this is sending me i have tears in my eyes

PLEASE THE SELF ROAST

crying. taesto

now look at this motherfucker here

gay to straight man interactions be like

who????? who is this. did lisa have a younger sister or smt? (also trishs catchphrase TT)

the map just looks like hong kong

admittedly it could perfectly well be sumaru considering what happens by the end of EP and how the city just plops back where it was but it's now surrounded by water... the shape is a bit different but it's still v reminiscing?

i mean

he's so precious

me when i talk to some of yall

PLEASE ATOP IM WEAK OF ASS

zomg

LOOOL HE ENDED JUNPEIS ENTIRE CAREER

i currently have 0 yen

yuko called minato said minato is easily fooled like he believes everything ppl tell him this is so funny to me idk

he's just chilling

im gonna try this boss but im like. 4lvls weaker than it so idk.. lets just give it a shot bcs i dont have much time before the deadline to get the second old document

nothing i died i need more dis-poisons for this... im lv13 now so ill lvl up to lvl15, go back home, buy dis-poisons and then come back the next day to finish off the boss and get to F40

i get that everyone ships other stuff w them but i think they can be cute together... anyhow i like their relationship and i like how mitsuru is evidently the dom of the relationship

tried to tell him i don't care about rumours and he reacted like this?

the infamous line

i think akihiko would be smiling/smirking at him i bet he likes junpei a lot

lesbians of gekkougan

kenji no homo tomochika made me a handmade choker... i Just... hw was shy when i told him i was his friend... pls ur my homie.. anyways classmate social link: mastered

i love you i love you you are such a kind young man

he could've arguably he a lovers social link anyways

since im done with kenji ill focus on the old couple social link now!!

going to drink coffee for the last time if my calculations are right... THEY WERE NOT RIGHT GODDAMIT... i thought drinking coffee gave me +4 charm and now i think im at 85? im confused

TF this is the second time im dying in tartarus but im not underleveled ??? this is so confusing to me why do i keep dying i just need to get to F50?

whenever minato uses his bow he does a weird little noise im... gay little minato

the skinny bih he is

maki

still the age is messed up? she was born in 1979 how can she be 20 in 2009

#MINATO: im going to create an environment so homoerotic

GUY FROM THE OTHER DAY XIDKXISKXISMXIZKXJX

look at how he sits... gay

their interactions are so funny to me i cant

baofubaofubaofubaofubaofubaofubaofu

just found out the tracks u can have fuuka play in tartarus are remixed vers of previous persona games tracks??? specifically these 4

ok i got to lvl59 in a day which is great .time to leave tartarus for the day

*F59. anyways summoned oberon that little gay fairy

OH MY GOD THE MITSURU MARIN KARIN CURSEEEEEE

i wonder why they had chimera like this in p3?? like the fire+ice combomakes more sense than it being weak to ice and exclusively working w fire+phys skills idek

im lvl21 rn and the next boss is lvl20/21 but the floor guardian is lvl26?

idk why this guardian is so overlevelled but ok ill grind till lvl 23 i guess

LOL apparently since i missed the mall date i cant do all the other ones either??? this sucks tbh who invented this system tf. ig ill do them w theo when i play p3p

oh strega appeared

this solink is so funny sometimes bunkichi slaps... hierophants are always good solinks. also hierophants users nanjo and baofu kings

performing jack brothers

as per every game medicine now costs way more -_- no comment it was only like 100y in p1

BABY BOY BABY BOY

this was so cute... akihiko part

this was so cute... mitsuru part

yukari evidently has some issues w mitsuru but it's still beyond me cause i remember no details about this game just general ending and theme

it comments itself

this is so funny to me cause his overall attire and then he speaks like this im sure he's a freak in bed

finished the old couple solink, so now im gonna do i think maya (hermit!). and then the fortune one

i literally have no money again idk how to farm em in this game given that normal battles do not give me money at all

im tempted to try this

wayament maiko does the laundry at her home. wtf she's a child

LISA???????

hideotoshi laying some truth.. still he's sort of a dick. you are supposed to agree w everything he says but idt minato ACTUALLY agrees w him?? ill see where this solink goes but yk -_- he doesn't look like the guy who'd accept criticism (at this point in time) while ++

minato always looks like he can't handle the drama. even tho he likes gossip i still think he couldn't care less to have arguments w people and he'd rather just. yk. everyone can think what they like he is not one to try to correct others ig

what is HIS deal tho.. like i don't rly get when they give him this attitude cause most of the time he's v carefree? and also he is the magician arcana why is he doing this. very ooc

why did everything happen in 1999

yukaris dads letter is dated 2000 and it says it was put in a time machine that was supposed to be opened after 10 years and yukari says she's received it last spring so.. it's actually 2010? but the game calendar says 2009

shitty dads club

tbh tho i really like this concept of being able to force a persona onto someone

mark found!!! what was he doing in iwatodai

HIS SHOES???????

wig how did junpei suddenly become the most relatable character in the whole persona serie

1999 be like im going to create an environment so toxic

i hate it here

NANJO???!!!

hewwwwwo

ok full moon n6 here we go

this sucks and is giving me an headache already

read an interesting thread about minato and how hes probably a douchebag ...ill have to pay attention to his replies a bit more in the future. the idea i have of him is that he basically is just there .like totally passive in front of what life throws at him
