Persona is epic but I'd like 30 hours of main line SMT content or other spinoffs like DDS. Adios.

30 hours of dancing. Dancing bears. Something about shadows? You see, in that shadow by the edge of the stage? Maybe it is the shadow of a butterfly. 10 hours in I am blind. Literally blind. The dancing.

i haven't played a persona game before, is bear molestation a common theme or something?

Not in my play throughs of 1, 2 (both of them), 3 or 4 but uhhh maybe I didn't find the secret arcana or something

Also I think you might enjoy some of the SMT games like Nocturne

I bet they're going to remake Persona 1, and both parts of persona 2 to make them more palatable since they are nothing like P3 or P4.

persona actually got less good writing wise as time went on, but become more fun as far as gameplay is concerned

i am interested to see if persona five goes in a gameplay or writing direction because one will be worse than previously and the other will be better than before

no one really knows, they just said

quote:

The stream, which is taking place the day before the Persona Super Live 2015 concert at the Nippon Budokan concert hall starting at 1:00 p.m. JST (making it 11:00 p.m. EST Tuesday night), will last for over 30 hours, featuring content that will “spare no expense at conveying the charms of the Persona seres,” including those new to the series, as well as more importantly featuring “a slew” of new news pertaining to the Persona franchise.

That would tip me over the edge for sure. Already want to play Persona 4 Golden real bad. I was considering grabbing a Playstation TV next month but if for some reason more SMT stuff gets announced for Vita I might just get the real thing instead.

get the vita tv if you just want to play megaten because in all honesty they are better suited to home playing and not mobile

im sure they will release something besides dancing all night megaten related on the vita at sony's behest

what do they do for 30 hours? somebody gets up on stage to talk for like two minutes at a e3 and i'm like gently caress off show the trailers or announce something.

Persona's pretty much always hinged on the Power of Friendship, even before Social Links, now that I think about it. Some guy's undying love for his friends is basically the entire reason the Eternal Punishment half of Persona 2 happens at all.

It's kind of funny how Persona is "power of friendship" and then SMT is the opposite of "power of friendship" where your friends always turn into zealot assholes and later into weird eldritch abominations that you have to humanely put down.

Persona 3 and 4 the "power of friendship" is more like "go out and make friends, not because you want friends, but because doing so will LITERALLY make you more powerful, in the form of summoning stronger persona". It's not working together that saves the day. You are just a crazy person manipulating others into loving you to increase your own power.
