My only thought: Wouldn't a Persona Fighting Game basically be the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure game?

Hurrrm, Innocent Sin is having some rather mixed reviews out the gate. Now I'm concerned.

Well, they smoothed out the interface a bit for the new version of Innocent Sin, gave it a new text parser, made all the menus new, and (I think) made the sprites a little less pixel-y, but it's not a complete remake like it could have been, nor does the plot seem to progress as naturally as Eternal Punishment did. I guess when they made EP back in the day, they smoothed out most of the wrinkles after they were done with IS. Still, I am enjoying it so far. The remixed battle themes are actually pretty drat nice to listen to, pulse-pounding, even. Huh..there seems to be a whole new scenario or two added on, though, called "Theater." I don't know if this was in the original version of Innocent Sin. I may have to eat my words about this being a low-effort re-release.

You know... playing Persona 2... I can't remember the last time I had so much fun just running around the city, talking to everyone. How weird is that? That's usually fluff stuff, but it's all so entertaining!

Hell, I completely missed Devil Survivor 2's release (forgot it was coming out entirely!) and now apparently the nearest local store that has a copy is... in Arizona?! Time to go mail-order, I suppose.

Well, Devil Survivor 2 is certainly better than its original in one way: it actually has music playing for the battles instead of buzzing metal. I particularly like the map music for when Septentriones are on the field. I've already screwed up and had what I believe is my first party member perma-death, though. Nuts. Well, one more thing to not screw up on a replay... Is it just me, or does this game showcase way more civilian death scenes, too? There's more still shots of the environment, too, even little cutscenes. I like that. It helps flesh out the action a bit better.

So, is there any specific way to get Fate points for a character; for example, I want Io Fate Points, do I just hit up every single "This is an Io Event" marker, and it's cumulative until I get a breakthrough, or are there only certain ones that will give me points with her?

I was hoping you'd be less of an rear end in a top hat if I saved you, Keita, but if you're gonna be like this, I am totally ignoring you on New Game Plus. Your "too cool for teamwork" attitude resulting in your own death is too delicious a dramatic irony to ignore otherwise.

TheLoser posted:I just order Devil Survival Overclocked from Amazon and I'll be getting it on Thursday. Is there any sort of gameplay tip for the game we usually give to people playing the Persona games for the first time. Wilder-Race demons with their Devil Speed racial are the key to busting the game wide open, but Avatar-race demons have Switch which is also handy in escort missions (switches you and a non-hostile target on the map).

Having at least some strength on a magic-focused MC is good, I find, in case you burn up all your mana on expensive spells before you have Drain to fill your MP back up. Oh! Yes, that is another tip for the newcomer to Devil Survivor. Drain is probably the most amazing spell in the game. Most games that have hp/mp draining spells balance it out by making it weak and terrible...not here. It destroys EVERYTHING. Only downside is that as an Almighty spell, it doesn't hit any weaknesses and thus you don't get extra turns. I've never really exploited Evil Wave or Chaos Wave demons--the downsides seemed sharp, to me. Sure, you can attack without being attacked back, at a distance, but no extra turns, and if the enemy closes on you, you're at a disadvantage.

Buffing isn't always a complete waste against bosses that negate buffs. For starters, you can get a good couple of rounds in before they negate it and worst-case scenario, they have to burn up one of their own turns to negate it.

I know it's been part of the genre ever since SMT games existed (going back to when they were copies of Wizardry) but I really really REALLY wish you could see NPCs before you were right on top of them.

Getting charged to be revived reminds me of Boktai 2's credit system. If you didn't have enough energy, you could borrow some using a credit card...and if you didn't pay it back, you got sucked down into hell and had to run on a treadmill for a while to earn back the energy.

Bleh, is anyone else noticing a lag in Digital Devil Saga on PS3? It's annoying as gently caress, it shows up during cutscenes too, sound effects start showing up at the wrong spots or not at all. And the sound of thumps when Heat beats his chest post-battle-victory are out of synch. edit: It became most noticable in the cutscene before the Jinana boss fight. Something about how that cutscene is programmed --character subtitles match up with character audio because they have the same trigger but NEITHER are in time with the action and stuff like Demon Jinana screaming are way out of synch by like five seconds. The sound effect of ground crumbling when it got shattered never played at all. Very take-me-out-of-the-experience. Speedball fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Jun 13, 2014 |

Yeah, the writers got a chance to revise their writing issues with the female side of P3, so the links got a lot more interesting, even the ones that are with the same characters.

It's kind of funky how the gameplay of Digital Devil Saga is so…conventional, though it's certainly one of the weirdest settings SMT has ever tried. I wonder if there had once been a more balls-out skill system in the past, like eating specific categories of demons to learn skills.

Playing SMT IV again (I kind of…burned out on it after playing through to the White ending…yeah, for reals!) and I wonder what the hell the non-main-character Samurai are up to during all of this. Are they on missions in Tokyo too? Naraku doesn't seem quite big enough for them to be hunting demons down there constantly.

I have a certain amount of nostalgia for P2:EP because it was the first Persona game I ever played and also at the time it blew my mind that you could have a fantasy RPG taking place in modern times, with, like, internet cafes. I also loved all the NPCs in the world and how every single one of them had something new to say at every new plot point, way better than the usual Welcome to Corneria tripe.

For some reason the Law/Chaos choices in SMTIV bug me a lot more than they did in Strange Journey. I don't know why. In Strange Journey it was actually kind of fun to get drunk on the power of Law or Chaos and watch all your crew members go nuts right along with you (and it was similarly satisfying to be Neutral and try to keep everyone not crazy). Here though it feels a lot more...painful.

Policenaut posted:The way around that is to give the main character a god drat name. I don't get why they insist on keeping player-created names for the MC when they just turn around and give them a canon name shortly afterwards. Just cut it out and give them a real name so the characters can say Yu instead of Senpai, drat it. They did this for Digital Devil Saga and Raidou. Worked for me. Speaking of which, does Raidou vs Abbadon on PS3 have any issues?

I loved Strange Journey more than almost any SMT game I've ever played. Not sure. It might be the top. A big part of that IS the fact that its dungeons are unconventional mazes with multiple dimensions, dark areas, treadmills, teleportation mazes and drop holes. You are not just dungeon crawling, you are exploring. That said, some of the later dungeons are like being attacked by Shitload the Demon from "John Dies at the End," a monster who knows five different deathblows and they are all a variation on kicking you in the crotch. Also unlike SMTIV demons don't give random responses to questions, you can actually figure them out pretty well after a while.
