I've gotten True Lover and Normal Cheater on PS3, then True Freedom and True Cheater on 360. I screwed up, because I've finished it five times, but I got a repeat ending.
True Cheater is really weird. True Lovers is pretty much the 'Persona' ending, so that's the one I like the most, haha.
I've said it before, but to me, Catherine feels like the Persona team's work condensed to its purest form. I've always said that they're really talented at making use of what they've got, and Catherine is exactly that. It's this beautiful looking, beautiful sounding, wonderfully written, deep complex game. It's also a game about climbing a wall of falling blocks.
But it's more than that, because like, Meguro's sound is all about how he throws around these melodies alongside classical and rock influences, and that's exactly what the soundtrack is. And then you kind of have influences from everything else he's done, with Yo and with It's A Golden Show and Battle on Stage and Obelisk.
And then you have Soejima, who has at this point pretty much discarded all influence he drew from Kaneko, and is just doing his own thing all together now, and creating the coolest fucking art in videogames. I feel like games often don't succeed at creating actually stylish characters and Catherine excels at it. If Persona 5 looks this good, then it will be glorious.
When I played The Last of Us, it made me reflect back on this generation (And how LoU is better than all of it), and it got me thinking about the highlights of the generation for me, and I remember specifically thinking that Catherine probably wouldn't be in my top 5. Thinking on it having just played it again, I think it's just that the last two years have made me really cynical towards a lot of Persona stuff and how much I like this team's work.
Hmm. It's good stuff.
Also, I've been getting the gold trophies for Normal tonight. Three more to go!
