Collective Persona 3 gaming starts today at midnight
ParaParaKing | 2:07 PM on 04.06.2009 12 comments



I have already posted about this yesterday and today it already begins at midnight! So if you are crazy like me, load up your copy of Persona 3 in the middle of the night and start playing your first day. Afterwards talk about it in the forum thread.

I'm really happy that quite a few people actually have interest in joining in this.

If you didn't catch what this is all about and are too lazy to click any of the two links, here is what I wrote earlier:


After watching the Persona 4 Endurance Run videos on giantbomb every day, I had the crazy idea, that it would be fun to play through Persona 3 alongside the in-game calendar, that starts in the night of April 7th in 2009 and ends on January 31st 2010. But instead of doing this alone, maybe it would be fun to do it with multiple people. Everbody would play only up to the point, where the in-game date matches the actual date. Then they could post here about what they did or with whom they formed social links in the game. It would be really interesting to hear about the different ways of playing the game and discuss the current in-game events here.

Players, who were interested in Persona 3 but afraid of the enoramous time investment can use this as an easy way to finally play the game, because the playtime would be stretched out over almost 9 months resulting in only a few minutes every day. Players, who already finished the game, can replay the game by using the NewGame+ feature, enjoy the story and maybe help first time players, who are stuck in certain parts.

Would anybody like to participate in something like that?

I was thinking about it, but would I really have to start at midnight? I have a meeting tomorrow morning. I guess it doesn't matter that much as long as I keep the days accurate.

No, you don't have to start at midnight.

I think I may give this a try. My only problem is that when I get started, I'm not going to want to stop. Persona 3 is honestly one of my favorite games ever.
ZombiePlatypus's Destructoid Blog
I'm a bit surprised that I'm actually going to join in this. I'll see how long I last...
themizarkshow's Destructoid Blog
I want to do this so badly, but I just know I'll fail horribly and then avoid the game. Which would be stupid.

Good luck to whoever takes on this challenge though!

One actual day per in-game day? Sounds pretty cool. I'll try it out! :D
garison's Destructoid Blog
I will definitely be up for this. I'll start tonight, but won't be able to resume until two weeks, cause I will be on vacation :(

Wait, am I actually be sad that I have to go on vacation instead of play Persona 3?

I'd be up for this is I wasn't already playing P4 right now.
SurplusGamer's Destructoid Blog
Oh, and I just thought of a problem - sometimes the game skips through several days in a row without being able to stop and save - like during exam week. What happens then? Do you play it all but then have to wait a week before playing again?
