About to listen to Danger Zone from the persona 3 portable soundtrack now

Need remakes of the 1st 2 Persona games. Conceptually they were so far ahead of their times in terms of story and some of the gameplay elements were in their infancy.

Most of the ideas and concepts actually go back to the original Shin Megani Tensei games particularly If...

I beat those about ten years ago on an emulator and translation patches. The difficulty and random encounter rate eventually make you feel like you're having a fever dream.

Oddly fitting.

Persona 1 was one of the first Playstation games I bought as a kid when it was Revealations Persona. I bought solely off of the cover and the back summary. Back when that was a thing before widespread home internet.

Always considered it a gem despite the insane localizations and the difficulty of it. It just had this otherworldy feel to it. It was unlike any JRPG that had hit the states up to that point.

Reiji/Chris is a real one.

The Persona 2 duology is my favorite Persona entry. I bought Eternal Punishment when it came out to bring back that demonic feeling. I wasnt able to play Innocent Sin (thanks Adolf, thanks homophobes) until many years late when it was fan translated.

That was a big deal for this 36 year old, old man.

The Megaten universe quickly solidified itself as my second favorite video game franchise of all time.

Mark danced crazy.

You were 36 then or 36 now?

Now.

Now.

You ain't that old then breh.

 

[BulletProof]

You ain't that old then breh.

I know.

I'm just saying that my personal experience covers the begining and middle eras of the Megaten franchise in their original formats. I'm assuming most people here started with Persona 3 or later. Especially now that its a power house.

I would have said I'm an OG who started when Megaten was a dirty Japanese secret being supressed by American censors but that would make me a douche.

Persona 6 is supposed far along and was going to be revealed at the anniversary event but Atlus pulled it back. It could happen.

No way we get 6 next year right?

Never forget

 

[tripleaamin]

Never forget

So basically this coming out 2027 following this logic.

P5 spin off? I thought strikers was the spin off?

Persona 5 Strikers Royal

I hope P6 visually stands out seeing as it'll be current gen only.

 

[Deafheaven]

takes these bums 8 years to release another mainline who wants a p3 remake?

There's more than one spin-off, the dancing game and upcoming Gacha game also count
