    If it's shipping time, here's how it goes.

    P1:
    Main + Maki (I would say Ayase, but her PSP ending says otherwise)

    P2:
    Tatsuya + Maya (the age difference isn't that drastic!)

    P3:
    Minato + Elizabeth

    P4:
    Main + Yukiko (Possibly Rise)


    Uh, Raidou... I'm gonna say + Nagi.


    The core games are easy. Not touching DDS.

    That one's only creepy because of the character design. Naoto's is creepy because first you tell her to completely change her personality and be "girlier" so that she's fuckable, and then she builds you a stalker watch so she can tell where you are every second of every day. It's just fucked up in every respect.

    No. in P3, Personas can only be summoned during the Dark Hour. In P4, they can only be used in the TV world.

    I thought it was established that stuff happens in the TV world because of people's expectations, and that shit with Namatame happened because everyone wanted him to be the killer.

    Well... there was... what was her name...?
    That red-haired goth girl Junpei got a crush on. Her Persona came out during the day. And tried to murder her.

    So I don't know if what you're saying is definitely true.

    There's also The Answer, where the Dark Hour kind of doesn't exist anymore, yet no one has problems using Personas.

    As for P4, the party apparently can't use theirs outside of the TV world (Rise has a line about not being able detecting people in the real world), but Atlus didn't bother explaining why, and I'm drawing blanks myself.

    It's one of those things that's best not explained.

    When Atlus tries to explain why the Persona universe works the way it does, it usually sounds flat-out retarded. A simple "Who the fuck knows? It's all paranormal and shit!" would have sufficed. Sometimes explaining things just makes them less believable, or can make a cool concept seem downright stupid. Personae, Evokers, Tartarus and the world inside the TV are all good examples.

    Souji can use it in the real world, at least. He can heal himself outside the TV World. Rise may not be able to detect people in the real world because there's just too many people.

    I think I liked Persona 3 better on my first playthrough, when I didn't give a shit about requests.

    Seriously, I can play for an hour and never fight the enemy I'm looking for, even though I'm on the right floors. I will, however, fight the "rare" enemies at least a few times. :x

    I got the impression that one of the things in play acrost both P3 and P4 was trying to extend the magic INTO the real world. Sure, for the purposes of eldritch abomination themed apocalypse, but still. The fog and Ryouji and Teddie growing a body are definitely examples of the supernatural stretching into reality, at the least.

    Hahaha goddamn the final boss of Persona 1 is tedious and boring. Just recorded the fight, finally, and it is almost twelve minutes of me doing the exact same thing every round.

    Never took a single point of damage, either.

    Think I may rerecord it not using the magic reflect spell and see how that goes. :lol:

    Serious spoilers about possible P3 ending
    If you decide to kill Ryoji, the MC pulls out his Evoker to do it I believe. I can't remember exactly what happens but I definitely recall him about to summon a Persona. I don't think this scene takes place during the Dark Hour.

    Maybe the Dark Hour allow the existence of personae regardless the hour they´re summoned

    Just checked that stuff out. It really is close to Meguro's style, though "Back to Reality" reminds me more of Xenosaga Ep. II's music, except this is actually good.

    Just going to bring up again for the first time in a while that every piece of music in XS2 is superior to XS1's, because XS1 has no goddamn music. It has 6 tracks that don't even loop endlessly because 90% of the time it's complete silence. All you hear are your footsteps.

    Also that new Imagine music is pretty sweet. I always liked the SMT1 boss song.

    Half the reason I bought the game was because of Yasunori Mitsuda + London Philharmonic. You can imagine my disappointment.

    (The other half was because of Shion and how much I loved Xenogears, roughly 25/25.)


    Also, Imagine's battle music is changed too. It's now SMT2's battle music, remixed.

    I refuse to believe they even used the London Philharmonic. Nobody in their right mind would pay to get them and then never play any music in the game. No company could be that foolish. Oh wait, it was Namco, the owners of the Tales series. My apologies, I forgot the strides they've taken to prove themselves the most foolish game company in existence.
