Some of these were left in the remake luckily, like Maki's theme.
A song for each character is a really good idea, they should go back to it!
Around 25, rushing through.

I've been putting more time into Persona 2: IS on my Vita. This game is rather grindy. I don't mind it for XP grinding, but maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan does collecting cards take time.
Not including progress loss because game over I guess?
I need to get back to this, 30 hour to rush sound neat to got through the damn 1st person dungeon, ugh..

Tarots are the worst thing about P2. If you think getting Skill Cards in P1 sucked shinkansen, wait till you find out getting tarots in P2 is the same thing only you have to do it way more times!

Persona 4 Golden and Persona 3 Portable have truly spoiled me.
If you're playing IS, you really don't need to grind much. You can even use the starting Personas through the whole thing. Personally, I recommend the spoiler-free walkthrough.

25 hours is the time set in the game timer so without counting game overs, but there weren't many luckily. Just a few pretty nasty ones, but I lost only a couple of minutes each time.
Arena is a... special case
Hahahaha... ha...
The color scheme is meant to mimic the Persona 3 Portable main character select screen.
We tried hard to get Margaret's face to work well on smaller monitors/resolutions, but it couldn't quite nail it. Tried our best though, looks fantastic on larger monitors.
Thanks again for the art, I really do love that Margaret.
My friend Tobiichi came up with the design, she's ridiculously talented. Very happy with how it turned out.
I like. It's a shame I can't see Margaret's face on my small screen though

Looks fantastic, congratulations.
Looks really good. My eyes still don't hurt when looking at "S.Link" due to the dual-colors though.

TBH I don't see any way of making a design like that fit on a small screen but you tried anyway so kudos. I do like the P3P colour scheme
I cannot handle the wrongness of these gifs.
Originally I thought about cosplaying as Mianto from Persona 3, but I am having a change of heart. I want to go as Simon from Gurren Lagann now!
Ever since Star Wars I've LOVED the idea of character themes, and wish more stuff did it. Considering how character based the modern Persona series is, I really am surprised they didn't do character themes for them. If they did, we wouldn't have to settle for some of the ones they picked for Arena.
And Maya's theme is still one of my favorite themes of the series. Just so good in any iteration(and there were many). I hear the song, and I just picture Maya with a big smile on her face crashing into something.
Persona 1 was an ok game. They really should have had the major story bits happen way earlier, as when the thing finally gets going you're reaching the ending. Most games that would have been the mid-way point.
Margaret is staring at me.... o_o
Awesome redesign!

Dantis just hates fun. It's so obvious now.
I thought this was truthfact when he did not watch bebop.

He did watch part of it. I'm pretty sure it ended with him jumping through a window screaming a la

How far did he get into the series?
Also, I`m looking forward to your peace on the Lunar series cj, I picked up a copy of the PSX version of the first while I was in the states.

Looks great! Don't get to see much of Margaret on my monitor though. Definitely an improvement over the original design.
There are better shows for him to watch like Lain.

I'm halfway through the EB section. enjoy the rough draft if you like.
I keep getting sidetracked by fan translation stuff, but I'm still pecking at it. It's going to be roughly eight sections when I finish. (Sega CD 1 & 2, GameGear/Saturn Magical School!, PS1/Saturn 1 & 2, GBA Remake, DS
Also, if you care about Suda 51's
I say this as a huge fan of Lain(if my name wasn't any indication): Dantis would hate it.
I watched the first five or six episodes. The last one I saw was, coincidentally, the one where someone jumps out of a window (Spike? Or maybe the guy he was fighting. I don't remember).

I'm kind of shocked you saw that episode and weren't chomping at the bit to see what happened next.
It's been seven years since I saw Lain, but I thought Dantis would possibly like this series. Would he hate it because of the art style?
The show also has one of the best openings ever.
Hmm? Does it even end on a cliffhanger?
Either way, it didn't grab me at all. The show wasn't bad, but I didn't actively enjoy any part of it. It wasn't funny or exciting or sharp or whatever.
But anyway, we're retreading old ground here.
I've never even heard of Lain.
... what kind of rock do you live under? >_>;
At any rate, I dunno if Dantis would like Lain. But here's a better and more proper version of the opening.

I can think of a few scenes he would be very disturbed by at best.
In a sense.
It's a mixture of cyberpunk and conspiracy. A 13 year old girl gets caught up in the internet after her best friend commits suicide. She gets an email from Chisa after she dies, saying she's only 'crossed over'. From there the lines between the real world and the wired begin to blur.
It also has a very low-key art style.
Recently got a blu-ray release with one of the best remasters imaginable.
How have you never heard of Abe's masterpiece?!
I lent my friend my Blu-ray set of Lain. I need to get it back from him and watch the show again.

Well, he's probably never heard of ABe, shame as he's my favorite artist.
Man's a god in my eyes.

Lain was made by the same guy who did Tamers, right? He's a-okay in my book.

I have a hard time recommending Texhnolyze. Some of the best art ABe's ever done, easily, but the show itself is really confusing.
It does have the best opening of any ABe series, though. No easy feat.
I have never seen Texhnolyze. I have to fix that after completing Hajime no Ippo.

Are y'all in the "Make Dantis like anime" part of the cycle?
No, we're in the "Try and convince Dantis to like an anime as an excuse to talk about anime" part of the cycle, which means we're closing in on another round of "the disturbing fanart" step. Brace yourself.

Don't expect anything quite like Lain. Same writer and artist, different director. Lain was Ryutaro Nakamura's only work with ABe before his death(Despera would have been his second).
I prefer we go back to the "Talk about Persona instead of adding off topic posts to the postcount" cycle, seeing as that's the point of this topic.
Ya'll need to visit the chatroom more for off-topic convos. :|

I don't know what to be angry at more....the fact that you quit or the fact that you quit while barely scratching the surface....

Off topic discussions happen in anything community thread that is super specific. I remember being in the Katawa Shoujo thread and the constant off-topic talks that would happen there.
Plus when Persona 5 is announced in November or Persona 3: The Movie releases, we'll be trapped in Persona talk for a good number of months.
This still hits me hard. :-(
First time hearing of Yoshitoshi ABe, but I recognize some of his work.
He's okay in my books
Hasn't drawn any persona from what I can find, speaking of..I haven't seen any guest persona art from artist I like.
I want to see Ume Aoki draw the characters.

If that's even him, I'm seeing conflicting sources.
