Time to play Persona 3 according to the in-game calendar.
Persona 3/FES displays the first in-game date as 7 April, where P3P and Reload show 6 April. The game begins at night: in vanilla/FES the next morning does not change the date, while in P3P and Reload the next morning is 7 April. You'll want to start the game near or after midnight on 6 April, and then quit 10 minutes later when the calendar switches to 7 April (or whenever the game first lets you save on a date that isn't 6 April).
How I see this working: if you get ahead of the current IRL calendar day, save at the earliest possible opportunity and do not resume until Earth Time corresponds to Persona Time. If you get behind, you can play as much as you want until the dates correspond. This will likely happen during forays into Tartarus, where you can play for a few hours before you need to leave and recover (and roll the date over). Hopefully the dates following a day in Tartarus will usually go quickly enough that it's possible to catch up and stay on track, given varied real life work and social schedules etc.
The last day to attend Social Link events is 30 January, 2025.
I anticipate disaster but am hopeful we can have some fun with this. Starting this thread now so anyone feeling indecisive about whether to start P3 Reload before FFVII Rebirth can rest easy putting it off for two months.
Spoilers: This thread is gonna be very funny from April 10 - 16.
I’ve started playing Reload now so I might do this with P3P if I still have some P3 left in me in April. Otherwise I might concurrently do a Various Daylife any% run (VD starts 4/1).
Someone should do the Vin Diesel challenge and play Need For Speed a quarter mile at a time.
I‘m into it, sounds like a fun time. Gonna start late though, cause my semester ends on April 12th, so the week of the 6th is gonna be major crunch time for me. I think I’ll enjoy playing a bit of catch-up during my time-off Gotta decide between FES and Reload though.
Unfortunately I cannot sign this contract, as I have already started playing… but I hope you all enjoy playing through this way when you do! I'll be sure to check in and see how you all do.
I'm just a Plain Ordinary Slacker, unfit for such an undertaking. [URL=https://i.imgur.com/IjLYq6h.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/IjLYq6h.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
