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.
vampirehipi23: I would enjoy a book written by a monkey and turned into a movie rather than this.
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.
