Did anyone buy p4g physically? And will you buy p4dan physical or digitally? What about p5? Is it always a good thing to buy physical atlus games?
Mitsuru and Aigis SLinks are such a pain on first playthroughs of P3. They come super late in the game in months with long ass gaps of being unable to do any SLinking at all.
Mitsuru and Aigis are the primary reason I maintain that a perfect SLink run of Persona 3 on a first playthrough is (probably) LITERALLY impossible without a guide.
I could see someone accidentally lucking their way into a perfect P4 run. P3 can't even happen by accident.
I'm playing as the Male MC. Is there any kind of prompt or do I just find them at school at some point? I've been waiting for something to happen, because it seemed like P4 made it pretty clear when you could start a social link with your party, at least from how I'm remembering it.
I buy physical mostly for whatever pack-in they usually include with things(partial ost/cards/whatever the hell) so I usually go for CEs if they do them. Bought the P4G CE, and then later bought it digitally when it was on sale.
Now, if they release a Persona 5 themed PS4 I will buy the hell out of that, otherwise I'll just buy the game flat-out(hoping for a CE at the very least). Then if I like it enough and atlus does a sale I'll just go digital. I MAY do digital off the bat with P4D depending on what they do with CEs. Like, if they release one that has the full OST like one of the japanese CEs has, I'll go for that.
AND Aigis' SL is the only one you don't need your status to be at a specific level.You won't be able to start Mitsuru's if your academics isn't maxed.(Yukari/Fuuka both need to be a specific level too)

I buy physically cause it contributes to my fresh air quota. Also, it helps being economic with bandwidth to cut down on digital.
I'll probably get P5 when it comes out, since I've got the system, but DAN... I was never dead set on getting it.
Never underestimate the difference between 'snowball's chance in hell' and 'impossible'.

Wow, so you buy both physical and digital??? Which one do you actually play?
Yukari requires max charm. Fuuka requires max courage. You should be able to talk to them in the school once those requirements have been met.
Oh you children who did not play vanilla Persona 3. Woe to you both. Maxing out social links was harder despite Aigis not being there in the original.

And if I remember right, wasn't P4G easier to max out than vanilla, despite the addition of two Slinks?
Yeah, because they also added night time outings where you could earn Slink points, and an extra month of time to do them.
Yup, for the reasons that Guess Who stated.
Vanilla P3 was intended to be impossible to max them out. There's not even a reward for doing so, as it was only added in FES.

Almost justifies the female s-links being romantic only, assuming you only had the time for one.
Almost.

I always buy physical when I can. It just feels good to be able to hold something you spent money on.

I bought P4G digitally, and depending on what I'm feeling, I may do the same for P5.

All digital for vita.
Console games are getting too big for me to buy digital sadly.

I don't think I could deal with going digital for the vita, too much hassle dealing with available space.

As opposed with the hassle of swapping in cards?
Granted, I like to juggle a few games at a time and I don't really care about downloading every game I have on a card at once. Carts to me always seemed like a huge inconvenience on a portable device that you would play when you're out and about.
Question: does Naoto ever actually interact with Marie? I don't remember them talking to each other at all.
You never played Ultimax until now? Bit I thought you loved Arena?

Hah, fair point.As opposed with the hassle of swapping in cards?

I guess the difference here would be that I don't ever use my portables out of my house so I don't need to worry about carrying carts. Plus if given the choice, I prefer to use any space I might have for digital vita games on psp games.
If you start a certain rank (Rank 5 iirc) in Marie's Social Link after Naoto joins the team, Naoto talks to her. If that even counts.
I don't remember any interactions between them other than that.
Despite owning FES I've never played a version that wasn't Portable.

Thanks to my good friend here I got to play around p4g both on a 1000 and a 2000. I'm not sure what Im feeling right now can someone help me?
Why is it on the 1000 characters have more lifelike face colours? while on the 1000 everyone looks pale as a ghost?
Did I screw up since i just bought a psv2000 model?

The 1000 has an OLED display. The 2000 has a "standard" LCD screen.

I sometimes think that the 1000 is oversaturated honestly.

I want to prepare myself best for p4dan and remote on p5, should I go for 1000 or keep my 2000? I can return my 1000 for a trade-in at the local store here.
I just cannot believe how much more lifelike the 1000 makes the p4g portraits look, idk what's wrong.

Just my anecdotal experience but there is a huge difference in remote play experience for me between my 1000 and 2000. The 2000 wifi is just so much more reliable than the 1000.
Screen wise, I could see how the OLED could favor the blacks and bright colors in P4D, but comparatively the 1000 is so much lighter and easier to hold.

Be aware the 1000 has its share of drawbacks (heavier, shorter battery, proprietary charger, mura effect...)

It's not that big of a deal.
In fact I've wanted to upgrade to a 2000 for awhile now but the 3000 might be around the corner.
Ah, okay, that explains it then. I just maxed out my charm and courage not too long ago, guess I'll go ahead and start them then.
It took 5 minutes for me to get over the difference in screens, and my hands have enjoyed the lighter weight and better feel for hours. I wouldn't let it bother you that much.
