Redkun: I wouldn't mind expanding this section with more entries for the individual games or spinoffs. To that end, I've deleted the tropes that were specific to either Nocturne or Persona 3, since we have separate entries for them. When people get round to making a Digital Devil Saga page (for example) we can remove the DDS ones, and so forth.


Dalantia: I don't really see where the "You are the only one who knows what is right" really comes in in the Persona games. Should probably edit that part of it.

Redkun: The games always present whatever path you take as the "correct" choice. There's no such thing as a Bad Ending: if you choose Law, then Law is the best ending. If you choose Chaos, then Chaos is the best ending. And so forth.


arromdee: The Famicom game is Megami Tensei. Wouldn't it make more sense to call it the Megami Tensei series (not the Shin Megami Tensei series), say that all the games are spinoffs of Megami Tensei (not of Shin Megami Tensei), etc.?

Redkun: Shin Megami Tensei is what the games are known as internationally, and it wasn't until after Shin Megami Tensei when the series really found its stride. The two Megami Tensei games were based off of the novels; Shin Megami Tensei is when the series started to develop its own mythos and characteristics, which would later go on to be used in the spinoffs.


bluepenguin: Should Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon get its own page, or should it just have a section on the existing Raidou Kuzunoha Vs The Soulless Army page? (I'm three chapters in and have been making a mental list of tropes as I go, and I'd kind of like to get them down somewhere before I forget.)

Redkun: New page would probably be best, considering we have separate entries for the Persona and SMT games.


Crapface: are we going to have a page for IMAGINE?

LizardBite: I think we should, but since I haven't completed the main quest yet, I'm not sure I'm the one to do it

Kalle: On that note, does anyone have any more information on Strange Journey that could be used for a series page? Seems like its existence got swept away with the P3 remake news.


s5555: Strange Journey is now Officialy US Bound.
