[PS2] Shin Megami Tensei Series/Persona 3

It's good, I mean... it's really good. If you're a fan of the Sin Megami Tensei series you have to get this one. It's a bit on the lighter side for them, but it's still very demonic. And the combat system is real-time which is a switch up for them, but they managed to pull it off quite well.

As to whether to pick it up over some of the others that are coming is a hard question for anyone to really answer. However I can say two things. First is that it depends on your priorities. Second is that it's an Atlas game which never stays in production all that long, unlike FFXII which will still be in production ten years from now. Either way though, if you do decide to get Devil Summoner I can assure you that you won't be disapointed ^^

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't know about the graphics being worse. The art style, while similar it is still different from that of Nocturne and DDS. Devil Summoner might not have as much texture to things as previous titles, but the lighting and original character design more then make up for it to me. But hey, I'm an RPG fan and as long as it's original, has a good storyline, and fun gameplay I'll tuff out the sub-par thing here or there (However Magna Carta was just unplayable... but is so beautiful at the same time... like a rose with thorns)

There's nowhere I can't reach.
