Also, no Saturn? Fail. Atlus even had Saturn games!


Uh. One or two.

On June 23, 1999 the Dreamcast's release in the US was imminent and it had been out in Japan for more than six months.

Weren't nobody talkin' 'bout the Saturn.

How do you, personally, pronounce "Michel"?

I meant that "Mishina" has the soft c sound "Michelle" does.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Michel, of course. Why are people using "Michelle"?

Disappointed by this post.

 

[Sfida]

I meant that "Mishina" has the soft c sound "Michelle" does.

So does "Michel".

 

[Seraphinianus]

it's Michaerith

 

[Sfida]

So does "Michel".

In French, anyway.

I just call him "Eikichi".

Let's not go down this path.

He was just reaching out to the truth.

 

[Femmeworth]

What's wrong with the truth?

I have no opinion on Persona 2 (haven't played it). I just don't want an old Persona vs. new Persona battle in here.

 

[Fimbulvetr]

Fixed.

I wasn't expecting that outcome. I'm not entirely disinclined to agree, though. <3 Aigis

4 is more consistent though. And better paced.

 

[Sfida]

Persona isn't Persona without the original scenario writer.

God damn it I do not want to have to buy another PSP

 

[Nimajneb]

The inclusion of Tail Concerto seems to be hinting at a North American release of Solatorobo as well. I was worried I would we'd be stuck with another European import DS game, like we were with Last Window.

Persona 3 is probably my least favorite SMT universe game of all time. Played for 20 hours, and nothing happened. Yes, I will rank the Raidou games higher than P3.

IF I HAVE TO HEAR THAT TARTURUS THEME AGAIN I WILL KILL SOMEONE.

At first the email went over my head -- I blame being distracted by work as my excuse -- but once I got it I was both pleased and impressed.

The first 20 or so hours are kind of hard to get through, but after that it's awesome.

Also, you can change the dungeon theme, silly.

 

[Seraphinianus]

Persona 3 Portable is the best.


but i could do without persona for a long while, give me SMT4. i want a real rpg. with running. to places that are different from each other. with little emphasis on dialogue.

I own, and played Non FES. I bought FES because I planned to play The Answer or w/e the fuck it's called, but I couldn't get through Vanilla P3. Shit sucks.

Strange Journey

As lovely as this would be, I really doubt that the inclusion is a hint.

oh lord, as if this the bickering hadn't started early enough as is, you're really throwing all kinds of bows here aren't you? If we want to turn this into a true Megaten free-for-all though, let's expand to include the oh-so-scintillating Strange Journey = SMT4 debate.

Edit: AHAHAHAHA too late!

 

[Seraphinianus]

Strange Journey

*on a console

but yes, strange journey was great.

it doesn't have a 4 at the end of it though.

The fuck? I like P4, and the other Persona games. I think Persona 3 was poorly executed.

Real men want Soul Hackers anyway.

Well, at least you liked 4. Persona 3 is definitely rough around the edges. It took three different attempts for the game to click with me, and that wasn't until after I finished Persona 4.

Only FES, the original P3 only has one theme.

Speaking of the other dungeon themes, I hope the P3 version of Maya's Theme is in one of the P2 games.

No worries dude, I was just kind of admiring how the Raidou games ended up as collateral damage in the Persona 4 praise too.

But let's get some Last Bible bashing going!

 

[Seraphinianus]

Sorry I didn't realize there was any debate about Strange Journey being SMT4. i don't follow atlus that closely (or ever care about any interviews with developers ever) but enjoy some of their stuff.

post-1994 atlus is too mainstream for me.

The inevitable happened.

You missed a great thread.

Pfft, any true fan knows that Shin Megami Tensei: NINE was the shit. It was so good they didn't even bring it over here.

This thread just needs a band aid.

i almost spent money on that game.


so wait...was there any conclusion that SJ was SMT4? Should I be asking for SMT5?

whatever the case, just give me something like nocturne. or Nocturne HD remake?! I really don't care. i should probably just replay nocturne instead of asking for new games.

 

[Silh]

So does "Michel".

Ah. Without the cedilla to soften the c, it's pronounced "Mi-kel" which is what I thought you were suggesting at first, haha.

 

[cj_iwakura]

The fan translation called him 'Michelle', though Atlus USA themselves used 'Michel' in Eternal Punishment.

 

[GotchaForce]

Persona 2 was 2 games, right? Does the psp version include both? If not, is there word on that one being remade at some point?

Only Innocent Sin, they're definitely gonna remake Eternal Punishment too though.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Can't really compare P3 & 4 to 1 & 2s. They're wildly different games. All worth playing.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Ah. Without the cedilla to soften the c, it's pronounced "Mi-kel" which is what I thought you were suggesting at first, haha.

Well Michel is just the French variation of "Michael", you don't use the cedilla yet you don't pronounce it "Mi-kel". "ç" is only used to soften the sound before vowels actually.

 

[Silh]

I see now. Well pardon my ignorance then. To begin with, I never had the opportunity to play EP. ;p

As for P4 vs. P3, I made the mistake of playing P3 after P4. I managed to enjoy it.

should've gone with P3 Portable. way better than the others, gameplay wise. just a lot more streamlined and fast paced.

Let the grinding for tarot cards and personas' rank begins

again

Woah, really? You're pretty much given vastly overpowered Personae throughout the game for free, why would you need to grind tarot cards?

 

[Vamphuntr]

I disagreeon the free part. They are not really "free" and you can miss them by choosing the wrong choice or not picking up the key items required. Unless you play with a guide which tells you which one are the bests and which fusion spells to get and to spam then you will have to grind.

I do agree I grinded more for ranks than for cards. I usually went for the cards while being low on SP so that they would recover by running around.

I sort of did the same, but I still really enjoyed Persona 3.
