They at least gave Aigis Fast Heal/Insta-Heal to compensate, so she now shrugs off all ailments quickly.

Fun set of dialogue I found the other week in Persona 5 Tactica that I don't think people had footage of till now, where you can troll Lavenza multiple times by entering the Velvet Room before Fusion is ready.

I guess maybe I didn't get into the series because I saw a review of one of the games on X-Play, and I saw that summoning your Persona involves...um...shooting yourself in the head with a magic gun.

Yeah...that unnerved my teenage self and kept me from looking into the series for a long, long time.

At least Persona 4 just involved breaking a card.

[up][up] X-play's reviews of JRPG's (And Japanese games in general) are notoriously terrible, and in recent years, have been remembered more for their blatant Anti Asian sentiment and racism more then anything.

Ahh, X-Play. I haven't thought of that show in years. Probably because it sucked.

[up] An old american game review TV show.

It was very racist to Japanese games and JRP Gs especially and thought it was soooo funny for being racist. Like several involved Persona 3 specifically.

His reviews may have sucked but that is 100% a real aspect of Persona 3. If you don't want a game that constantly uses suicide imagery I would go for Personas 4 and 5.

There is a reason why all the persona games are Rated M...

Like #FE is the only T rated Atlus RPG outside of Etrian Odyssey.

Tactica is also rated T, since it don't have Mara.

[up][up] Not just that. Both games deal with things like sexual assault, murder and such.

Other SMT games you get things like Digital Devil Saga has straight up cannibalism, Raidou has things like ritual sacrifice and other seriously F-ed up shit.

SMT is not for kids.

The first 3 Personas are also rated T, despite a heavily implied suicide and a character being locked in a burning building in 2.

SMT is generally rated the equivalent of T for Teen in Japan, usually Cero C.

Persona 3 was originally CERO B back when the ratings were more lenient.

[up][up] Those also lacked the dick chariot. So tao's point still stands.

(it's gotten to the point where I'd be legitimately surprised if the ESRB came out and said Mara was not the reason for those ratings)

[up][up][up]

SMT is not for kids.

That is also true. The core games always came down to be the forces of Heaven if they adhere to what fundies believed they were versus social darwinist demons vs huamnity caught in the crossfire.

I would love to see a Persona 4 mod that adds Eiha/Kouha and gives them to Chie, Yukiko and Naoto instead of Hama/Mudo spells.

If they remake P4, I hope they split the physical elements again, with Eiha/Kouha. Or add the old elements of Earth and Water that haven't been seen in Persona since P2.

It does make me wonder why they pick certain elements to include in certain subseries. Like SMT V had the base six elements, and Persona 5 had eight.
