Go go team Atlus. Kill kill Team Squeenix.

The opening animation oozes style.

Also, Persona is the progenitor to Digital Devil Saga and Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne (if you didn't already know).

We need a special color for asian crap so I don't mistakenly step in it.

Um...the Megami Tensei series has been around since the SNES (at least), Persona came way way later.

The Super Famicom is actually the only one I ever played. There was also a Megami Tensei SRPG for the Super Famicom - the graphics were amazing but the game was nothing special.

That's why I singled out Nocturne (which is most likely the one that most of the people here played if they'd played any of the Megaten games before).

I bet this will cause a fun bit of game bashing in the news if it makes it to the US. You have to shoot yourself in the head to release your persona.

I came up with a survival horror premise once where the only way your character can escape the level or end the sequence is to commit suicide. The longer you last in the sequence before you commit suicide, the higher your score.

Anyway, I wouldn't be shocked if this came to America, was rated M, had 100 copies printed and never made the news because no kiddies know the series exists.
