[PS2] SMT: Persona 3 (The RPG to keep talking about, since :awesome:) Now with more PEZ.

I've always like the Shin Megami Tensai series... Although I've never beaten any, this one seems to grab my interest more than the other ones have. Probably because of the random school setting.

I might just go ahead and pre-order this.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Whoo! Now knowing that this is a stand alone game and I wouldn't have needed to play the other Persona games AND seeing this game get good scores... It seems like this game deserves a purchase.

I wanted to save it for something else, but I'm sure this would be more interesting.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

As you just said, it was pushed back.

They said it was about some manufacturer delays.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm frustrated at Gamestop also... I'm still gonna check everyday to see if they have it in yet or anything.

But once everyone has their copy, I wouldn't mind doing a Persona 3 theme week if anyone is up to it.

Wiis?

How ya doing, buddy?

No luck on my part. My Gamestop has no idea what's going on with shipments. T_T

I hate this waiting game.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

My luck has changed!

Only two hours after I last checked whether or not the game was in at my Gamestop, they finally opened the damn box and had it in.

I got my copy now, but I probably won't play it until tonight or something. I can't wait though...

Out of randomness, what's everyone naming their main character?

FELIPE NO

I'll either go with what Jazz said for officalness. Or my own character name, Vincent Kiba.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

At least the English dub isn't bad though. <.<

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm only about two hours in.

This game is fucking great!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I didn't get too much time to play last night, but I'm still somewhere decently early in the game...

When you guys joined the athletic clubs, which one did you choose? And which one is the best to roll with?

Personally, I went with swimming. <_<

How ya doing, buddy?

That Toy Bow? If that's the case, then whoo! I need to get myself this weapon!

But out of curiosity, I haven't had ANY success hitting those gold enemies. Any advice?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

My point exactly, which is why I'm asking. <_<

They're always at least a good distance from the wall, when I finally corner it,

*poof!*

It's gone. I kept thinking about hitting it with a bow, but I'm deathly inaccurate with it. <_<

I was speaking idiomatically.

All else fails, attempt to do it alone or with whatever meager party you have.

I went up the tower once alone, but that was before I hit the 2nd block.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Oooh, I'll probably be running back to finish that request on the first block. I've finally managed to nab the gold one a couple times.

I finally hit the top of the 2nd block earlier, so now I have 10 days to grind my level up for a while. I'll probably finish up a couple of requests also.

Woot, finally got my 5th member. <_<

Haven't advance much since that.

I'm at the 3rd block now. What level should I be at? I'm only level 15...

Also, I don't really have any gripes with the voice actors, but I do agree with Gech on that other character. The 5th doesn't really apply for me.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I constantly use Cadenza. Even though I've out leveled Orpheus a long time ago I constantly keep him around just for that. With the HP restoration and the Evasion Up thing, it works like a charm.

But so far, I'm only at level 16. I just beat those three Golden Beetles on floor 47. <.<

Either that, I'm just extremely lucky. The only times I've ever died were against normal enemies, never bosses or level guardians yet. <.<

The less people you have, the less you have to split up the total amount of experience you earn, so yes.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Cadenza? It's always worked for me.

I let all my teammates do the attacking. I just sit there and constantly heal them.

I'm wondering if you get more "free" time to spend with friends later in the game. It's essentially one activity per day and then it's evening. Seeing how the day actually has a lot of unused phases, I'm hoping you'll eventually get the chance to do some more stuff in one day.

I've actually finished off two social links already... I'm done with the Chariot (Swim Team) and the Hierophant (Old Couple) ones. I have one of each in my team, but I haven't spent an exorbitant amount of time fusing Personas.

How ya doing, buddy?

That must mean there's something good about it you like.

I'M FINALLY STUCK!

Ok, any tips on that Emperor Boss on floor 59 (or 57... Whatever..)? I know as far not to use Yukari in there since Garu is completely useless against the boss. I'm thinking whether not I should actually grind before I do this battle. God damn level 18.

How ya doing, buddy?

Aye thanks.

And anyone who read that whole 3rd block thing I said on the last page, I didn't realize I was still on the 2nd block. <_<

I assumed every huge staircase with a document went to another block. XP

Anyway, I should remember to use tactics in battles... I completely forgot about them.

Also has anyone noticed the typo on the Persona 3 box? The game calls for 67 MB to save one file on the game.

67 MB.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I was worried about that shit, so I teleported my ass outta there before it was too late. <.<

Also, does the Reaper look like a normal enemy or it's own little figure on screen?

FELIPE NO

Yeah, I use that offertory box all the time... At the moment, I'm an above average student. I'm working on my Social Link with Bebe... Weird dude...

But what's the warm and soft bread that the girl wants? I can't seem to figure that out either...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Here's my Persona team.

Inugami (Level 14)
Berith (Level 17)
Jack Frost (Level 10)
Zouchouten (Level 18)
Orpheus (Level 10)
Apsaras (Level 5)
Unicorn (Level 11)
Valkyrie (Level 13)
Pyro Jack (Level 10)

My primaries are Inugami, Berith, and Orpheus.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
