Shin Megami Tensei

So before I make myself look like a fool by added  the PSP Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 2: Innocent Sin's soundtrack bundle to the database. What it released with and without the soundtrack? If not, then we need to fix the current listing. If so, then I need to add a new one for my bundle.

I know this might be a little mean, but... who the heck put that Persona 5 artwork up?  I have a small feeling that it isn't official... http://vgcollect.com/item/18500

As for the comment a couple weeks ago (go me necroing), I think people were just so excited that they could make sure the AI isn't doing stupid mistakes so much that they were blinded by how much was taken out... I haven't personally tried P3P yet, and I also found the AI in P3 *mostly* alright (Marin Karin's aside), so I have a feeling that I'll find the PSP version a bit... lacking, as well.  At least you can date the guys, though?

Yeah...and I see that the entry for Persona 5 was submitted in November of 2011...talk about pre-mature 'e'-speculation 

Anyhow, I forget what topic it came up in, but a few of us seemed to agree that games that have not even been given an NA confirmation and/or release date - just shouldn't be listed.

I also noticed the "Dragon Age III" PS3 entry in the database

Hm, interesting that that entry was created by the same person would put up P5... That prelim cover is pretty hilarious.  There's so much fanart out there - why that one?

Also, someone is claiming they already own DAIII?  *scratches head*

I *Believe* that the "standard" version came w/ the soundtrack.

I'm *Pretty* sure - but *NOT* 100% sure...

Yeah, when I bought it, it was packaged with the soundtrack.  The Atlus website claims that all launch copies will come with the soundtrack, so I don't know if they've sold enough to warrant another printing yet.

Well in that case, when I get home I'm scanning the proper art into the database.

Looks great!

I was thinking about this the other day, after playing P4 Arena. I would love to see Persona 5 be about Elizabeth searching for a way to save P3's Main Character. Make it happen Atlus!

Part of me would love an RPG focused around the P3/P4 characters coming together, but on the other hand, I'd hate to see them take the Final Fantasy XIII route and just milk the series into oblivion. I'm ready for a new cast

[scott]

My thing is, I'd love to see a game centered on her and her journey. But involving new player characters.

Since we've been discussing SMT in the recently purchased thread, I figure we should bring the topic over here...

debating on cancelling SMT: Soul Hackers...

Blasphemy! Low print run on a game that's been held back from US release for over a decade, plus a soundtrack CD? Pre-orders don't get much more mandatory than that

True, and I've never played a legit SMT game before. So I guess this would be my cheapest option. haha

Ha, well, I guess it also depends on what we consider a "legit SMT game."  I mean, you've played Persona 3 and 4.

Oh I meant main series. I get the impression that Persona 3 and 4 are far and away different from main series SMT games. Then again I don't really know.

Ah yeah, the main series is kinda split up strangely.  There's the Megami Tensei stuff, then there's a few Shin Megami Tensei items, which includes Nocturne and Strange Journey, and then there's all the Digital Devil saga, Devil Summoner, and Persona stuff.

I don't honestly think all the SMT stuff are all that different from each other, especially when you just look at the demon/persona mythology stuff.  I mean, Jack Frost is in all of the stuff I've already listed.

But when you look at the high school sim of Persona 3 and the futuristic story of DDS, it can look pretty different...
