You're almost ready to start playing P3F with mods! Let's go over a few final things first.
Before starting the game, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Save the game often! You don't want to lose hours of progress if the emulator crashes or locks up.
The game audio might stutter or freeze while saving your data - don't worry, this is completely normal.
Use all of the save slots. You get 16 of them for a reason!
We recommend saving every night or every other night in Iwatodai Dorm.
Do not rely on save states!
Creating the occasional save state in PCSX2 is fine, but it is not a replacement for actually saving to the virtual memory card.
You can lose huge amounts of progress if you rely only on save states!
Check out for how to fast-forward through event scenes or battles.
The keyboard controls have been customized for P3F with the goal of making them feel similar to P4G on PC.
