ORLY? I always thought it was for the sake of flavor so I hardly did it. That's kinda like Persona 2 in that aspect.

Sooooooooooooooooo, I'm playing Persona 3 Portable as the girl. I'm just past the 7/7 Operation and so far it's been super mega awesome.

The new battle theme is good, but it's just not the same when battles don't begin with BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY. :(

^ Thank god. It was okay at first, and then it made me groan. I also thought I was crazy at first for hearing "baby baby baby."

But after 20+ hours of I'M NOT A PRINCESS, I started to sorely miss BABY BABY BABY.

But Fe MC's Social Links more than make up for it. I'd much rather have Junpei and Akihiko rather than... Kenji and Mamoru. D:

I had to go look this up, but if the entire thing was instrumental in the same style as the first few seconds, the song would have been amazing.

"But after 20+ hours of I'M NOT A PRINCESS, I started to sorely miss BABY BABY BABY. "

Are we talking about Persona 3 or Metroid: Other M?

On a serious note: Famitsu magazine just confirmed Persona 2 Portable.

^ HOLY SHIT YES. I hope I'll be able to deal with the major graphic shift, though.

A lot of people complain when games are released on PSP (instead of, say, PS 3, like Valyria Chronicles III.), but I always shoot my hands up in the air in excitement. This is what happens when you don't have expensive home consoles.

^ Persona 2 uses 3D environments with sprites for everything else so it shouldn't be too bad.

Oh and it looks like Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment are separate again(though the US will probably be getting IS for once).

I hear Persona 2 is pretty dark. How dark is it compared to Persona 3?

Innocent Sin is a DownerEnding in which a major character dies, the world ends(only the population of the city P2 takes place in survives), and the party is allowed to create and live in an alternate dimension where none of this ever happens; but to do so they have to give up their memories of each other(effectively making it like they never met) otherwise the new world will begin to destroy itself. After a short cinematic the game shows its protagonist, Tatsuya, committing the Innocent Sin: he remembers.

Eternal Punishment is a BittersweetEnding where in order to atone for his sin Tatsuya has to return to the old world and the new protagonist, Maya, has to forget that she ever loved him.

Uh. Hm. I suppose I can't read that without spoiling it for myself, though I know it's not a happy game.

Great...yet another reason for me to get a PSP. I love my DS to death, but the PSP is REALLY looking nice these days.

I AM SO FUCKING STOKED MAN. I never was able to get the fan translation patch to work, so all I've had are walkthroughs. sad I can't wait to actually be able to play it!

I'm on rank 2, and so far Shinjiro's SL has been one HNNNNNNNNNNG after another.

Heheh, yeah, Shinjiro's S. Link is pretty adorable. Especially after he starts cooking. ^^

P 3 P yay.

Finished Shinji's SL, which means that he survives the events of October 4th. And I got the optional lovers scene the next day.

Right now I'm doing stuff in Tartarus on October 7th. Currently at level 49.

I should really finish the game. I'm mid-way through January but I don't want it to end... Been playing Valkyria Chronicles II since, but I think I'll finish P 3 P first. This weekend, after my exams, before I have to start the million assignments due next week that I haven't touched.

It's apparently an updated rerelease of Devil Survivor with voice acting and a new 8th day. Cool, though I think its too soon for a rerelease.

Yeah, that is too soon for a re-release. The game's only been out for what, a year and a half?

Ah, I'll probably get it anyway, if it comes over. I imagine playing through the 8th day will be like having one guy holding you in a Full Nelson while a second guy repeatedly kicks you in the crotch.
