Literally why are they swapped. Atlus you have a few months to fix it pls do 😭

honestly so sad ttmh is better than reach out to the truth imo 🫩 one of my favorite persona tracks and im glad to see some people appreciate it :)

speaking of, actual confession of mine: I DON’T like reach out to the truth that much. Same for mass destruction, but I think I confessed that beforeI think it sounds good, but there’s way better.

A few years ago, when I first got into Persona, I was drawing P3 fanart in class, specifically I was drawing Minato's awakening scene. While I was drawing, one of my teachers came up to me to check on me and saw me drawing. He said something along the lines of "Oh wow! What a nice drawing you're doing today!" and then immediately afterwards gave out a quiet "Oh!" with a slightly concerned look on his face. It was only then in that moment I realized that my teacher was seeing me drawing someone pointing a gun towards their head and was concerned about it. I was already struggling with my mental health at the time, something which many of my teachers knew about, which didn't help at all (I was not suicidal though, don't worry). Once I finally realized what he was thinking, I was too embarrassed to explain "NO DON'T BE CONSERNED IT'S JUST FANART FOR A GAME, HE'S NOT ACTUALLY TRYING TO KILL HIMSELF IT'S NOT A REAL GUN I PROMISE" and just continued drawing. That incident still haunts me to this day.

TLDR: I was drawing P3 fanart in class and I think my teacher thought I was drawing suicidal vent art.

All the battle themes are great, even the overplayed ones idc I love you Last Surprise, I love you Mass Destruction, I love you Wiping All Put, Reach Out to the Truth, Lone Prayer ALL OF THEM

I'm seeing that "Time to Make History" isn't that popular of a song... I find it a pretty big shame, 'cus I love it! I got it saved on my playlist.

The p4r sprites are good. Like they’re AMAZING. I have NO idea why people hate on it and it pisses me off to see people complain

they’re so expressive and look so nice, and even without the highlights I think they’re still better than the ones from golden. Like, people actually saying the golden ones are better for some reason-

I don’t think there is a correct order to play the games at all (I’m talking about the modern trilogy here—sorry P1/2 fans!!), but I find it SO interesting how the game you play first impacts the way you perceive the others. For instance, playing P3 before P4 gives you major tonal whiplash, or playing P5 might prime you for fake-outs rather than permanent character death, which would make P3 more shocking.

Which order do you think would make for the most effective experience?

Like I said, I think each persona game has its merit in being played in different orders, and here are some of the benefits for some combos:

-Playing P3 before P4 means you get to experience the Gekkou High references and you’d be even more impacted by the Akinari reference in P4

-Playing P4 after P5 would make the concept of accepting your Shadow self more surprising with the meta-knowledge of the typical P5 Shadows

-Playing P5 after any other game would make the Velvet Room twist more impactful

-Playing P4 before the other games would make the killer twist more shocking, given that the other games tend to follow a specific trend with traitors

-Playing P3 after another game subverts the player expectation of how unlocking Second Awakenings works

-Playing P3 after the other games makes the finale feel so cathartic and climactic, with the Battle Hymn of the Soul playing, the integration of the tarot arcana into the actual story, and the ending feeling like an ending to the entire series

Either way, I love how each game gives you a certain expectation going into the others :)
