KCF0107 08/05/17 5:37:14 PM #75:	14. Persona 3 One of only a handful of games that I bought solely from B8's influence, Persona 3 might be the best of the bunch. It's combat system is fairly familiar. It is turn-based where all combatants theoretically get a move. Each enemy and ally tends to specialize in one are and have a particular weakness. What helps separate this from all the other turn-based RPGs is that the main character, the only one that you control, is the ultimate jack-of-all-trades. They can essentially be any of the titular things/spirits/physical manifestations of your soul, which means they can have any strength or weakness and any moveset that you desire. This is from being able to switch to any Persona that uou have on hand at the beginning of each turn. You can only hold so many at one time, and you do have to level them up in order to be able to reap all of their benefits, but you are nearly unstoppable the further you get into the game. A lot of people weren't happy that you couldn't control any of your allies, but I liked that welcome change, for the most part. The game is incredibly long (I think that I put in 75-80 hours), and that was without the micromanagement of having to think of actions for four characters. The AI wasn't the best, but aside from Mitsuru, they never veered to frustrating levels. What sucked me into the game was its slice-of-life approach. Only a portion of the game is going out to fight as most of it is going to school and making connections with people in and out of it. Of course, the main purpose of hanging out with these people is to help you out in battle via Persona benefits, but this is where the game really shines. The main cast is underwhelming, so I was drawn to each of the unique personalities that aren't integral to the overarching plot. From a middle-aged monk who hangs out in a night club to a little girl that runs away from home to even an MMORPG player whose identity in the real world is kept under wraps, these side stories feature the best writing in the game and are the reason why I kept fighting god knows what I night to save the world, or maybe just Japan. I forget what was at stake. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy http://i.imgur.com/VfpY7tg.jpg <cite>KCF0107 posted [p:884244077] in KCF's Top ...
