I just got Devil Survivor 2. I haven't finished Devil Survivor 1, and I don't have it with me. Does Devil Survivor 2 spoil anything for the first game, or can I play that without any issue?

I'm finally playing through Persona 1 (on PSP via Vita) after starting it a couple times but getting distracted. I just restarted after going 9 hours and reading that taking Brown locked my party, when I would have preferred someone else.

I've done everything I need to get Reiji so far, but I'm having doubts as to whether I actually want him. I know from a game mechanics perspective that he's the best choice, but is there a compelling reason to have him in my party for story reasons (I know he's SEBEC dude's brother)?

Does he offer any special insight I wouldn't get otherwise, or can I safely ignore him and get someone else? Honestly, I don't like how he looks or his attitude.

P1's casino is a total dick though, Code Breaker and slots are 90% luck based, and the Poker bonus games are practically rigged, but the only way to get a decent amount of coins.

There's a program for code breaker which can at least make sure you never run out of cards 99% of the time, since it usually finds the right answer by the 3rd try. Still a lot of luck involved, no more having to guess on your own. It works all right.

Any recommended Personas to use in Persona 1? I'm pretty bad at picking Personas when I'm only worrying about one character, having to do it with 5 is making my head spin.

E: I'm using Elly as my 5th.

I have a tendency to play these games like I play Pokemon: Use a demon (pokemon) that looks cool, regardless of how good it is. Only fuse it (swap it out) if the fusion will get you something even cooler.

Demons I don't like do get constantly fused, though, so there's that.

I don't know how you're at the end of the game and get killed by the Reaper in one hit. I could kill him in the 50's. I actually grinded on him to gain a crap ton of levels in the mid-game.

"You are slave. Want emancipation?"

Now I'm thinking that P5 is about 5 terminally ill people that escape to the shadow world to save themselves but they find out it was really the shadows that was making them and others sick all along.

It's really about the underground railroad and how a group of negro high school students saved the South.

Devil Survivor 2: Break Record will have full voice acting

Just be aware this may not be a good thing. The voice acting in Devil Survivor: Overclocked is almost completely unbearable. It easily turned the worst character in that game to the worst character in that game.


E: I'll clarify in case people don't know who I'm talking about : Yuzu.

Is Ken the little kid from P3? If so, what's wrong with you? He's literally the worst character in any SMT game ever. Barring one character in DDS that I can't remember her name.

I did it in the year the game takes place just 'cause. It's not like it's difficult. Most days are really short so you're not even playing for more than a few minutes a day.

I'd be interested in seeing a trip report if anyone buys this. I was able to enjoy Ar Tonelico despite the more ridiculous parts, and though the 3DS demo didn't impress me, I'm looking for an unbad portable game for after I finish Bravely Default. Already played EO4 and other Atlus games.

I bought it. You could always just play the demo (on either system) if you're curious. It's basically Pokemon/Persona, except your monsters are magical star babies that are born from matryoshka dolls.

In Golden, Rise could occasionally deliver an extra strike in an All-Out Attack, among a few other things, I think?

This, and she's going to be a fighter in the fighting game. It's entirely possible she'll be a character in Q.
