Shin Megami Tensei: Persona Series - My every day life - Games

Well, the store does specialize on Second Hand stuff, but they make sure they are in working order and stuff. They don't buy disks off you if they are scratched to all hell. The store has a pretty decent selection of PS2 games that keep changing every little so often, I ended up finding Zone of the Enders 2, Disgaea 1, All of the PS2 Ace Combats, Some of the Armored Cores, the second Yakuza. Even the first Dark Cloud. CEX is awesome~

[QUOTE=Megafan;39414178]I'm more surprised you actually found retail copies in a store than anything, really.[/QUOTE] Second hand SMT games are pretty common here in Australia. The EB Games near me has had 3 copies of Nocturne and 2 of Digital Devil Saga for ages.

[QUOTE=TacticalBacon;39415132]Second hand SMT games are pretty common here in Australia. The EB Games near me has had 3 copies of Nocturne and 2 of Digital Devil Saga for ages.[/QUOTE] The Persona games aren't common finds. I spent ages finding FES a few years ago before 4 came out.

It's not too hard to find SMT games second hand at EB here in NZ, but there's still plenty of cheap, new copies available online. Though it's helped by the fact we got the games quite a while after the US.

Practically every retailer I've been to has a copy of P3 FES and P4, look harder guys

When I bought P4 at a local gamestop, the cashier told me it's a rare game because someone always snatches it up as soon as they get one

[QUOTE=Dr.C;39421954]When I bought P4 at a local gamestop, the cashier told me it's a rare game because someone always snatches it up as soon as they get one[/QUOTE] Rightly so.

Can I just remark on how much I would like the Persona 3 Arranged soundtrack, were it not for the character voices: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5F_2MBqUm0[/media]

On Amazon, I can find new copies of Persona 4 and Persona 3 FES, but that's in the US. And it's not absurdly expensive, each goes for like $20. But yeah, to find them in stores, even used, is a long shot. I remember when I first started getting into the series and asking in Gamestop if they had any copies and the only nearest Gamestop that had one was like 20 miles away. Reminding me of which I need to get a copy of Persona 4 on the PS2 for prosperity's sake

Alright, so there is [I]no[/I] way that the intro to P4G wasn't animated for the original theme. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBkp3xtg6M0[/media]

Welp, just got the new "golden" ending in p4g. For some reason, seeing all the characters as adults (minus nanako, since she's still a kid) made me feel sad.

I don't get why the regular version of P3 is more expensive though.

I would hardly say they are adults yet. Chie, Yosuke, and Yukiko probably started their last year at Yasogami High. While Naoto, Kanji, and Rise have just started their 2nd year.

Saw the picture earlier, thought it was a photoshopped one. Have the rest of them changed a lot? Fucking handhelds, I wish I could play P4 Golden too.

Anyone in here play the Devil Survivor games on the DS? I enjoyed the first Devil Survivor even if it got a little [I]too[/I] tough at times, but I never picked up the second. It looked kind of same-y and considering I bought the first Devil Survivor twice (the original version and the Overclocked version on the 3DS) I wasn't so ready to grab the second. But, you know, it's an Atlus game so it's probably got a really limited print run. It's still available pretty cheap so should I bother grabbing it now?

[QUOTE=Jackald;39477543]Well me and my friends finally finished Golden. It's taken us a few months because we've been playing it a few times a week at my flat... now we're moving on to either Nocturne or Persona 3 (I've played and finished 3, but not Nocturne)[/QUOTE] Play Nocturne, it's great. Also prepare to actually have difficult fights unlike in the Persona games.

-woahfuckwrongthread-

Question: if this is a Persona thread, should we have another thread for the rest of SMT? Or should we just keep it all in here?

[QUOTE=postmanX3;39540788]Question: if this is a Persona thread, should we have another thread for the rest of SMT? Or should we just keep it all in here?[/QUOTE] I would be up for a separate SMT thread to be honest. Since I play more SMT than Persona. But I think we can discuss the newer SMT games here.

[QUOTE=postmanX3;39540788]Question: if this is a Persona thread, should we have another thread for the rest of SMT? Or should we just keep it all in here?[/QUOTE] You're more than welcome to make a thread for mainline SMT games, seeing as they're getting a fourth installment and there's a number of spin-offs (Devil Summoner, Devil Survivor, etc.), but in general you don't want a thread here to get [I]too[/I] broad, because quite often it just becomes a fast thread. For something thread-related: [img]http://puu.sh/20Atk[/img] Would you pay ~$30 for an HD re-release of Persona 4 with the new features from Golden on the PS3 or 360?

Hell yes.

I'd pay $40. $50+ would be pushing it, though

I include 360 because of Arena's release, but that would probably be wishful thinking.

I just didn't want muck up this thread with other SMT stuff.

The OP was updated to include Persona 1+2, but since there aren't many 1+2 fans the thread hasn't changed drastically.

[QUOTE=theseltsamone;39544130]The OP was updated to include Persona 1+2, but since there aren't many 1+2 fans the thread hasn't changed drastically.[/QUOTE] Don't see why. [IMG]http://puu.sh/1Xhfb[/IMG] [IMG]http://puu.sh/1Xh4g[/IMG] This game is pretty great.
