This is one to wait for. I am a fan of SMT and reading about Persona 3 got me so excited I bought Persona 2 (haven't played it yet though). One of the last good releases for the PS2.

You know the package is something I really don't want. Makes it more difficult to move everything round when I move from place to place, not to mention things can get damaged.

Is it directly linked to Persona 1 and 2 or is it stand alone?

Think again guys. Persona 3 is going to be delayed slightly due to a manufactoring problem.

The whole idea of shooting yourself in the head to release a Persona sounds interesting. All the reviews I've seen so far are between 8 and 8.5

Sucks about the shipping thing though, retarded artbook that no one looks at anyway....

I think I read somewhere a long time ago, it's stand alone. And looking at the characters in the game, I'm probably right.

Hmm,I've never played a Persona game(I've never seen any of the entries for sale,were they even released in the US?)but I must say , this one looks really promising. I have played both Odin Sphere and Digital Devil Saga. Digital Devil Saga: Shin Megami Tensei had an excellent story line and graphical representation, but the gameplay felt a little stale-the battles and stuff went soooo slooow, and it had a steep as all getout learning curve.Odin Sphere h ad awesome gameplay in terms of battling,I really enjoyed it-but the going through the same environments and steeple arning curve were similiarly frusterating. How does Persona compare with DDS? Or is it more like Odin Sphere?

So you don't need to be familiar with the previous iterations of the SMT series before hitting this one?

Persona is closer in to DDS than Odin Shpere, although part 3 has the social element that affects your persona's stats among other things. There are a couple of reviews on the 'net at RPGamer.com and RPGfan.com. Also, Play magazine reviewed it; I have seen only good scores and read good things so far.

Review is out and it is an 8.5, this game has now officially been added to the must buy list. I read the GameSpot and IGN reviews and both value the game well.
