    Leveling won't be a problem in the long run to be honest. It's surprisinlgy not difficult to get into the 80-90 range in these games.

    Tons of grinding, a giant stupid retcon, and a lot of forced, out-of-character conflict

    More like better challenge, an interesting tale about mourning, and a bad ass battle theme.

    You and I both know that Junpei is a joiner, so why should he be left out while everyone else is knocking heads? Besdies, it's not like a few players don't want to slap him around.

    At that point in the story, though, there was the least reason to fight him, though, as not only was he reasonable, he was pretty much saying exactly the thing you were saying. Forced conflict for the sake of fanservice is basically The Answer's MO.

    Not really.

    (SPOILER) I would agree if Junpei was the first fight, but instead it was the second clash after Akihiko and Ken, so knowing that Aigis was willing to fight her teammates to get what she wanted, why would Junpei now assume she's on his side anymore? He didn't want to fight at all, and while Aigis didn't either, she fought Akihiko when he refused to back down, but that shows Junpei she may likely have her own motive. Throw in the fact she's allied with Metis, whom most of the team is suspicious of doesn't really help her case either. While I can agree the circumstances around it could have been better clarified, I can see where the logic is in the conflict. The team is being hit hard with trauma and weirdness, so their all on edge and trust is becoming an issues because everyone is still in the dark about what's really happening. That is a perfect atmosphere to breed conflict, even among comrades. The party has literally just relearned they saved the world, their leader dies mysteriously, their all now trapped in some groundhog's day loop, Aigis just gained their leaders powers, a mysterious robot like Aigis has appeared and initially attacked everyone before going all "Big Sis" on Aigis, they had to kill a physical manifestation of their guilt and desire to see their original leader, and now they've learned they have an opportunity to go back and possibly save him as the cost of possibly undoing the whole "save the world" deal. All this while trapped in their crappy dorm which is collapsing under the weight of the space time continuum. I would be a little on edge and not exactly trusting someone who claims to be on my side after they just did the opposite of what I wanted to do with another team. I'm just saying there is some logical justification here.

    krissy ~ There is some actual cool background info in this game that expands the backstory of the characters and the story ultimately explains what actually happened during the MC's encounter with Nyx when he used the Seal. Parts of the event are also referenced in P4 and the P4 Arena games.

    I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. While I can definitely see the point you're trying to make, seeing those events first hand didn't really give me that impression, and it all genuinely came across as forced to me. And while I definitely agree that there is room for conflict, I think it was handled poorly, and could have been poignant and believable with better writing. Sadly, I feel that it didn't work. (SPOILER)I also think the point behind Erebus is pretty stupid and only exists to complicated the cosmology a bit more without really adding anything to the message. Whether Nyx represents humanity's will to die or Erebus does, the point of the main plot remains unchanged. Erebus really wasn't a necessary addition as it doesn't really add or detract from the MC's sacrifice - it's just added there so you can have a final boss in your epilogue thing.

    pretty upset nothing carries over and apparently they all went down 400 levels cause they didn't do anything for two months

    and yeah it is harder... i never opened monad in journey so i had to grind a lot to get through the game OK (i'm not super skilled in persona swithching/organizing)

    it's just this dungeon w cutscenes throughout, right? there's no other game mechanic? no shops/etc?

    i think i just need a break before continuing on

    but persona 3 has definitely made it into my top 5 games

    now im worried about how to proceed
    4? 5? watch 4 on yt and then 5?

    to an extent i enjoy the grind well enough sometimes, but it takes a long time.

    i spent 130 h on P3 and i never cleared it 100%

    also listening to the soundtrack at work now
    also yes posting on eoff at work hush
