“emulation” can work but its up to you if u want to do that
I’ma go take an exam but if you have a PS4 I highly recommend buying Persona 5 or Persona 5 Royal, if not honestly just install PCSX2 and emulate a PS2 to play P3 or P4. Unless you own a PS2.
The only issues I had emulating P3 FES (I own an actual disc and have also played it on a PS2 but my laptop is just more convenient) were some occasionally oddly-spaced text in speech bubbles that was perfectly fine on the actual PS2, and if I tried to upscale it too much there were some weird things happening - but just playing at a PS2’s default resolution worked fine.
i could prob dig up my old PS2
i don’t think i sold it
as someone who does not get it i verify that i find it to be hella weird
or if u dont have a ps4 and still want to play p5 there is a ps3 emulator
with Royal out is that even worth it?
honestly idk
hmu when I’ve beaten Royal and I’ll let you know if it’s better than P5 vanilla
Still like I own a PS4 exclusively for Persona 5
still extremely worth it
With the PS5 almost out I imagine you can get used ones for even cheaper nowadays than mine
im pretty sure my brother bought a PS4 almost exclusively for P5 as well
which, logically, means i could probably ask him to let me play
but i think he actually uses it sometimes
See there’s a decent chance if you say “hey I wanna play Persona 5 can I borrow your PS4” that he’s like “You want to play Persona 5? Fucking take it!”
assuming hes not playing through anything on it i don’t see why he wouldn’t let me
but he’s not home very often which means he probably isn’t
but i also have to be awake when he’s home, which given his schedule, is surprisingly uncommon
although being a nurse during covid-19 will do that
That being said that now begs the question
In 2020, do you play Vanilla Persona 5, or Persona 5 Royal?
Having gotten a few months into it I’m kinda leaning Royal, because thus far nothing actively detracts from the experience sans nighttime being a few seconds faster, shoving the new character in a bit too much at the start, and the new battle theme being much less memorable - but like there are benefits that probably outweigh those
Do phones not exist
that’s cheating
Also ig if he owns vanilla P5 and you don’t want to drop $60 on P5R in case you don’t like it then you could just play vanilla
i also assumed royal was seperate from the main game or an extension of it
either way he prob already owns it
It’s Persona 5 Plus, essentially
The entire base game plus changes and added content
Many of them are positive
A few are negative but thus far nothing major
