Devil Summoner | Persona 3 thread

[nightPhaser]

>> Yes, yes, yes. Okay. So you know me and Kaynine are, like, MegaTen groupies.

>> Kaynine posted a very interesting post about his thoughts on Persona 3, before some server belching erased it off the records. I hope he'd be kind enough to post a copy of that entry, or at least offer an encore for it.

>> Given opportunity, I'll type up a better thing about Devil Summoner (aka Kuzunoha Raidou vs. the Super Army what-something), but for the meantime, I'll offer some stuff to explore.

Digital Devil Database links, currently well-updated, contains descriptions, pictures and media:

>> Devil Summoner has already released in Japan, and the English transfer is slated for release around October 2006.

>> Persona 3 is seeing release in Japan around these couple of days, and the English transfer should be a several months afterwards.

>> On a mildly related note, I've been playing SMTI (yes, one) on an SNES emulator-thing. Geeking out so much. *burble*

*thinks that Bisclavret ought to pop up when he blows his brains out*

Ah, is it not BEAUTIFUL?

I am lovestruck again..

I eagerly await the English versions, and praying they do not get delayed.
Kuzunoha Raidou seems to run on an entirely different battle system/engine. Wonder if it would be a plus? I AM getting used to acquiring extra press turns.

I knew I should have taken Japanese lessons... Ah.. honto ni tanoshee!!

...On a side note, my post seems to still be there, Night.

Naw, the belching didn't erase the post. It's still here, albeit the forums need a mint now.

Anyone has a more detailed shot of that dog and the Cerberus. They look really cool ^^ ... Although I'm a tad clueless about the headphones and wings

Though... I did try running Nocturne in French once... XD

[Dobb]

I don't know about Resident Evil 4, but if the SMT series were done in Malay....
