I've seen alot of good reviews about this game. Dungeon crawler stuff is what I love xD. The game is also a decent price so may pick it up within a month or so.This one looks cool too and I'm sure by the time I'll be able to get it I'll pick it up a day or so after release. Been waiting to go on another RPG game for a while and this looks like it'll feel my need.
Wouldn't it be cool to have a cameo of Kira and Ryuuk from Death Note in that game? If you think of it, Shinigamis are kind of a Persona
Any info on if you can control the other party members in this one? I disliked the whole "If main character dies, the rest of the party cannot revive him, though they CAN revive each other" Idea. that, and Aegis/Aigis(However it's spelt) Raping her own HP.
that was/is annoying, but when you think about it if you and 4 friends where fighting in an rpg and you were the main character only with revive you'd have control over you but not the others. so you can revive them but once you die you cant revive yourself.
I can't wait! Is there any confirmation on controlling the other party members, yet?Also:SpliTT said, May 02, 2008, 12:16:45 amthat was/is annoying, but when you think about it if you and 4 friends where fighting in an rpg and you were the main character only with revive you'd have control over you but not the others. so you can revive them but once you die you cant revive yourself. Yukari and Ken knew how to revive. They revived each other many times. but nobody can think to revive MC once he dies.

Not to mention the A.I in P3 was very stupid sometimes.
Has anyone noticed the wierd similarities between Personas and Stands from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure? I mean, in series 3 Chapter 1, Jotaro pointed a gun to his head and fired to make his Stand appear. Alot like in Persona 3 where they shoot themselves to summon them. So...aren't they kind of copying? I'm sure Jojo came before Persona.
