Footage used in the video was taken from my live streams of the PSP version of the game. I would have loved to use footage from one of the newer releases on modern systems but I sadly don't get early access so hopefully that's alright.
And speaking of live streams, I stream almost every day over on Twitch so come hang out!: twitch.tv/rozalingaming
Here's the best tip for P3P, fuse Odin the first chance you get, then get the Elec Boost skill card along with Mind Charge. This basically makes every bossfight in the game afterwards a cakewalk, Nyx included.
You can also make yourself even stronger by finding some way to Nullify Wind since I'm pretty sure that's his weakness.
Odin is definitely a beast in P3!
What level do I have to be and who do I use for them
@@xcortes_Level 57 max out Emperor (student council/ Hidetoshi)
I see you in Colaw's Streams
Just started playing and was feeling lost, thank you for making this!!
One note to add about the social stats: when playing as the male protagonist, you want to prioritise the stats in the following order: courage - charm - academics. This is because the female party members all require you to have maxed out those stats before you can ever start their S Links, and the stats you prioritise correspond to which ones become available first
For FeMC I'm not sure which ones you want to prioritise first
It is the same for FeMC. The emphasis on courage is exactly why the thing with Edogawa is so important to do as an easy source of courage stats.
Something important about the Moon and Fortune Arcana: they are only automatic if you are playing with Female Mc. That doesn't apply to the Male, which there are just normal S-Links.
Aside from the Tired and Sick status, we also have the GREAT status, which will make you character miss less and will greatly increase Crit Chance for a whole day. Tip: You can use the bathroom either at school or the dorm. The first time that you use, there is a 100% chance of getting the GREAT status, after that will only be a small chance, but that can work to improve any status for 1. Ex: If you are SICK, going to the bathroom can make you TIRED, if you are TIRED, you can become GOOD.
And why you want to pay particular attention to that?
Even if you are not interested in MAX all S-Links you should at least get the EMPEROR Arcana and STRENGTH Arcana.
Emperor Ultimate Persona: Odin with Thunder Reign, the best zio skill, probably the best magic skill IN THE GAME.
Strength Ultimate Persona: Siegfried with Vorpal Blade, the most broken physical skill in the game if you are in the GREAT status, that's why you want to pay attention to the bathroom tip.
Okay then, let's go.
Sorry dude, The Best magic skill is helel's morning star. Almighty damage all foes and with spell master is really cheap.
@@16fm74Thunder Reign still better cuz besides the monstrous damage with Elec Amp and Mind Charge it has a high percentage to put the enemy in Shocked status, which will cause the all-out-Atack. It's the best magic Skill.
@@IsraelSilvaXV but doesn't work on enemies drain or null elec.
Also make sure you do the velvet room attendants quests. Pretty useful stuff also for that cat quest, you have to go to one of the shops and buy cat food(don’t remember the name) 🙌
it's the aohige pharmacy at paulownia, i think i had to feed the cat 4 times because i bought 2 cat food at a time twice
I just started playing p3p as my first persona game last week but seeing all the s.links and other things I had to keep an eye on was a bit overwhelming as I really want to max out everything in my first run, but your video makes me hopeful! Thank you for your easy guide
Damn 150 hours in 1day you work fast. As we know, this game never existed before then
Thanks for this!! I watched your P5R vids religiously back when it first came out, LOL. Cheers
This game intimidated me when I was a kid so I didn’t play it 😂 I’m 30 now and it still kinda intimidates me on Hard for my first playthrough. I’m sure these tips will help me greatly, so thanks!!
Hey man love the video. Will you upload more guides like fusion guide, builds and farm methods?
No plans for fusion guides. With the way I structure my fusion guides -- that being with a showcase, explanation, and then a guided walkthrough of the fusion process -- semi-random skill inheritance is something I don't want to put up with when making builds. In my own personal playthroughs of P3P, I've had fusions take literal hours of rerolling skill inheritance just to get the skills I want.
Great video, i would like to see an video comparing fem mc and male mc campaing's, with battle theme comparison and other things. I played FES and i think i will go with fem mc now, but would be pretty nice to see this comparison on portable version.
Um. You can look that up lol
That Nekomata pic. You knew what you were doing lol.
I mean, I chose the one used in P3, LOL. I'm innocent!!!
Are you going to do a video about translations differences between the original PSP version and the re-release?
If I do it won't be anytime soon since I would need to buy the re-release and play through it again in both JP and EN, something I don't currently have time for with Fire Emblem and Octopath 2 coming out.
So far I am liking it it’s my first time playing it I already played P4G on PC and Persona 5 on ps the only thing I don’t like how you have to move as a dot instead as a character 😢
It is because they gave us the portable version of the game, in the original you move around like normal. I think it is because of the hardware limitations at the time. I am more upset about the lack of anime scenes and cutscenes.
I just reached lvl 9 with the chariot arcana and fuse ares(lvl 19) and i buy some strength cards. Ares lvl 22 with 40+ str
400 dmg on the hotel bosses...
Which song is that? Also thank you sooo much!!!! This was hella helpful
It's one of the overworld map ones, I think the title is "Sun"?
How do i start new game plus? I finished the game with both characters but when i load the safe that i lost all my items and lv
Would you say the experience would be better if you play FES before Portable? Or do you not miss out on much from the FES content and presentation of that game?
I personally would play FES first because it has anime cutscenes, you can walk around normally like most persona games (not the visual novel type walking), and it has The Answers which is a post game story. If you can beat FES/Vanilla Persona 3, every other Persona game is a cake walk.
I think P3P is the best version of P3. The lack of controllable AI in P3 and P3 FES basically makes those games unplayable in my eyes, and that combined with all of the other quality of life improvements is worth losing animated cutscenes and The Answer.
The biggest things I still wish you could do in P3P is dictate which skills your party member's learned upon level up so I don't see them giving up a boost for an amp when they could have both (always sad to see happen), and to get rid of random skill inheritance when fusing Persona.
Once upon a time, I asked a question over Capcom's USA forums regarding RE0 coming to PC (something that eventually did happen in 2016) and one of the mods there, someone who actually worked in the company, replied that even though it may not look like it, a remaster or a port can often take the same financial investment as a brand new title. It's natural that a business (which game companies are at the end of the day) would try to minimize costs and optimize ROI (hence the P4G bundle). I can totally see how P3P coming to all major consoles now, after the lush and rather lustrious art and combat style of P5 has set the standard for all future (re)-releases from Atlus, will seem all too wooden and clunky in comparison, but that was only to be expected (so most disappointments come from misplaced expectations about the final product) of a PSP port, and besides, none of this is anything new to those who've beaten the game on PPSSPP.
I’m really hooked on persona three. My favorite of them all would be Tartarus. I’m already on the floor level 140. Even though it’s such a grind. It’s actually fun and kind of a piece of cake. Kind of.
I’m glad it’s on Xbox GP now. I would say I am a little over 30 hours but under 40 right now. Such a fun game. I hope if there is a persona one and two it comes to game pass to.
Edit: by the way, I got my protagonist to level 41 and the rest of my crew two I think late 30s ish maybe some 20s. Same with my personas and theirs
How do I get access to light and dark type abilities? I'm level 22 and it seems the mini boss I'm fighting requires dark or light as it's weakness.
Lots of Persona have access to Hama and Mudo.
Hama: Angel, Archangel, Unicorn, Principality, Mithra
Mudo: Alp, Lilim, Yomotsu Shikome, Ghoul
All of those are level 22 or lower.
I played Persona 3 FES and it was definitely the hardest persona game I’ve played and requires the most grinding
Do you think controllable party members makes the game significantly easier?
Yes. Persona 4 vanilla was a cake walk just because I could control characters. Only FES is somewhat difficult since you can't control members.
It definitely makes the game easier. Since P3 was originally balanced around AI controlled companions, giving that control to the player who can make the optimal play in every situation drastically reduces the game's combat difficulty.
@@RozalinGaming oh okay cool thank you !
@@nahte123456 If you’re using party control and still losing that’s honestly a skill issue and it has to be your first time playing
@@nahte123456 I’m not saying that if you’re using party control you should be able to play the whole game without dying I’m just saying using party control you should die significantly less times than using tactics
The AI makes stupid decisions sometimes and it costs you the whole battle and you die
My point is you should be dying less times using party control vs tactics and if you’re not then that’s literally just a skill issue 😭
how do i make sure I don't break male mc's 2 sl's? Great vid!
Just don't be a dick to them really; those two are easy, it's the FeMC's that can easily break which is why I focused on that one in the video.
I’ve never played P3 before so it will be a first me. I loved P4G and P5 so am excited to play this. Btw did you play this on PC, PS4/5 or Xbox? And if so did you get all the trophies or achievements?
I played this on PSP. As for achievements/trophies, I almost never go for all of them in any game I play with the exception being the Kiseki series, and only then because I do it for stream content. I have looked at the P3P trophy list and it will easily be the most difficult of all Persona titles due to needing to defeat Elizabeth.
@@RozalinGaming Cheers thanks, yeah I saw that trophy and thought it will be way harder, the guide on PSNP rates it a 6/10 difficulty and playstation trophies give it 8/10 difficulty, while the other persona games were super easy, only a 3/10
My top tip would be watch out for the Sun arcana again. Like in 5R he's only available on Sundays which limits your possible hangout days and my first play through he was the only one I didn't max because I learned this fact much to late to have enough Sundays left to get him to max
Question: How often should I go to tartarus to make myself tired for the free courage stat increase?
Like once or twice every week, if you get to level up fast you can even get to go once every 2 weeks
Is there any guide when encountering Death during our early levels such as level 6 like that?I don't have any idea how to beat it
You're not supposed to beat the Reaper at level 6; you're supposed to run.
@@RozalinGaming But what about the day progress?I still stuck at floor 4
@@hanabitakahashi6986 The Reaper will only spawn if you are staying on a single floor for too long, so just don't that -- also, I'm pretty sure the Reaper can't even spawn on the lower floors anyways.
@@RozalinGaming The Reaper also appears when I try to start from floor 2
bit confused re. the tired sick thing
do I need to go every day I'm ailed? so day 1 of tired, day 2 of tired etc, or do I just go on the 4th day when you're sick?
So
Day "0" Go to Tartarus, leave
Day 1 "You are tired" -> Go drink medicine +Courage
Day 2 "You are still tired" -> Go drink medicine +Courage
Day 3 "You became sick" -> Go drink medicine +Courage
Day 4 "You are still sick" -> Go drink medicine +Courage
The medicine doesn't actually cure you, it's a placebo but it's also supposedly horrid so +Courage is always nice to farm.
@@Chxsaku god bless you sir.
You go every day you are tired or sick. The reason being that Edogawa will only give you the drink that boosts courage if you are sick or tired.
Does difficulty change the pool of personas in shuffle time? I'm following a walkthrough for s-links and it said to get an omoikane in the first 15 floors of Thebel on the 23/04. I'm at 8hrs, MC is level 15 and never saw one in shuffle..
Difficulty doesn't effect which Persona appear in the shuffle pool; what level of Tartarus you are on does. If one of the recommendations isn't appearing for you, fusing is your best option.
As a side note, outside of the very early game, relying on shuffle to get Persona is generally not recommended as fusing them is almost always easier and better.
Omoikane is pretty rare card drop so I recomend just fusing it
@@kuszanz6553 So, after 9hrs of grind i finally got him through shuffle.
"Funny" thing is i only discovered the blue door and fusion after lol
@@fritesmayo7613 it happens all the time I didn't find out the button for the map in dragon age until like 9 hours in, but yeah use the fusion to save time and like in June you can just summon your personas
This is good stuff here, first time playing ANY persona game and I'm choosing P3P. Question for you if you please, I saw another comment asking about the difference between male and female mc, but on some news article somewhere it expressed the idea that if I were to only ever play thru the game once (and that's it, just for the experience of playing), that I SHOULD choose the female mc, despite recommending a canon play thru to get the actual canon story etc. Would you agree with this sentiment???
The main difference between the MC an FeMC is which S-Links you have access to. Other differences include how some characters will talk to you, what weapon you use, color scheme of the menus, and as mentioned in the video, difficulty, with the FeMC being slightly easier. The FeMC can also choose to romance S-Links or not, whereas the MC is forced to romance certain female S-Links if you max them out.
As for which to play because of "canon", it doesn't matter, as the story is identical regardless. Choose whichever you want, both are "canon".
@@RozalinGaming Roger that, and thanks for expanding on this. It's nice to finally see all the details in one place, a simple Google search has bits missing here and there, and contradict eachother on the effect of canon. I feel like I got the final word on the subject here, cheers brotha
Oh my dear gawd I just got this game lol phew 😮💨
I have a question: Since there is new game plus in persona 3 I don’t have to max the social thing on the first go right? I can pick up where I left off on NG+?
It's hard to max out both S.links and social stats in P3P, there's a very specific routine that I won't really recommend for a first play through, I recommend maxing out your social stats on your first run and then focusing on S.Links on NG+ since social stats carry over. Social links will have to be done from the start though, they do not save progress and don't carry over to NG+
I still have no idea if i need to go to tartarus everyday? I just kinda speedrunning it rn
A habit from p5
As a general rule of thumb for Persona games, the fewer days you spend going into dungeons the better. 2-3 times per cycle should be sufficient in P3.
What does save scum mean
Save before doing something with a random outcome and then reloading if you don't get the result you want.
Saori is so damn pretty
Question does persona 3 and 4 have new game plus?
3 does have new game plus, havent played 4 so not sure about it
Yes they both have NG+
Yes they do but it isn't like royal, only thing that carries over is the persina compendium and social stats
@@rawrdino7046 This is incorrect. For P3P money, most items, social stats, character levels, and compendium (except for one Persona) all carry over; and for P4G money, social stats, max s-link items, compendium, persona slots, skill cards in the Velvet Room and equipment at Daidara do.
If I’m level 7 how do I beat the reaper
At level 7 you don't; you run away until much later in the game.
You pick a god and pray real real hard.
Tips How to defeat Margareth please Sir...
Do you mean Elizabeth/Theo? Because Margaret is P4. Either way, I have no plans to make videos on either boss fight. Due to the prep involved for Liz/Theo I would need to completely replay the game again to get footage for a video, something I can't really justify. Margaret is a similar situation being available on NG+.
@@RozalinGaming Margaret is a secret boss in p3p after doing all the vision quests
@@erenkruger5760 Oh, yeah. Completely forgot about that fight. Don't remember needing any specific strategy for it though.
It’s my first time playing this and I have no idea what ur talking about I just made it to my first save😂
I appreciate the release of 3 but I wonder why fes couldn't ha e been released with just adding the function of controlling your characters
For one, adding that functionality to a game isn't as simple as you think, especially when looking to port a PS2 title to modern consoles; also, that isn't the only difference between the two. With P3P you give up animated cutscenes and the answer, but gain party control, skill cards, FeMC + her new social links, extra challenges, and an extra boss fight, among other things. The lack of free movement outside of Tartarus is also lost, but that is honestly small since most players end up just using fast-travel.
Atlus is also quite lazy with their ports and remasters, often doing the bare minimum. P3P is the more up-to-date of the 3 P3 releases and thus needed the least amount of work. And honestly, no matter what version of P3 they released, unless it was a full blown remake, people were going to be upset.
@@RozalinGamingnow there’s a full blown remake and people are upset because they aren’t including the female main character or the answer… damnit Atlus….
My top tip: Yukari is best girl
Aigis tho
Agreed
Why not mitrsuri
@Eddy Craig because she isnt best girl.
Mitsuru clears unfortunately
What about money
You get it the old fashioned way; farm Tartarus. No real tips to give on it since there isn't a really any way to make it faster.
the negative reviews on steam turned me off from buyin it
Tbh it seems most players on steam expected a remake when it's just the port of the psp version and atlus didn't promise anything more. Game isn't broken, it's just a port without special changes for the new platforms.
If u haven’t played a persona game, u should start with 4 or 5
Most negative reviews you will see, especially early on, are either going to be from fans of the FES version or who, as pointed out, wanted a remake and not a port.
My guy the game hasnt even been out for 150 hours
My guy the game has been out for 13 years.
@@RozalinGaming lmao
