It would have to include the minor arcana, though, not even Tactics Ogre's had that.
I have the (now apparently rare) Mage: The Awakening deck.
I have playing cards from Red Dead Redemption! Hey, Trig, is Tactics Ogre good? I've been flirting with the idea of getting that off PSN for months.
Wow that looks awesome!
Dunno if they're high quality (not well versed in the topic of cards, I guess), but here are mine:
Back:
I'm so jealous. I love the Persona take on the Tarot motifs.
Yes, it's got a wonderfully mature plot and a lovely art style. It's far less grindy than say Disgaea, and the updated version on PSN balances the difficulty curve in favor of SRPG newbies. lol, the only thing I hated was how hard it was to recruit certain characters.
I'm a bit biased though since the older PS1 version was my very first SRPG ever.

Nope, cannot agree with that. They're fine, but Persona 3 introduced a certain style to them that I absolutely love.
They're too blurry and low resolution. They look downright ugly when blown up unless the artist adds in their own touch.
Persona 2's are even better.
Disagree. They just look like Tarot Cards. Persona 3 and 4's designs have that same modern look as the rest of the art.

I completely and utterly agree with CJ, shocker, right?
Let's cross our fingers and hope it's part of some P5 preorder package.
Let's. I'll jump all over whatever Atlus has for pre-order, or LE packages. Persona is one of the few series where I'll spend the extra for a collector's edition.

I don't even believe in that stuff about the cards and fortune teller junk, but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't want a Persona 3-4 Tarot deck.
Yeah, and I was very surprised that they didn't have a Limited Edition version of Persona 4 Arena for the North American release.

You know what? I want P5 to connect to the rest of the series, or I want them to change EVERYTHING.
Only thing that was said was, in my words, "Hashino stated that the Persona Team wants to challenge more new things in Persona 5 similar to the changes they made from Persona 2 to Persona 3. He also stated that they had solidified Persona 5's themes." That was taken from an August 2011 Famitsu interview.
Persona 3 came out in July 13, 2006. Persona 3 FES was April 19, 2007. Persona 4 was July 10, 2008.
Japanese release dates for all of them, but essentially it seems they had one team on FES and one team on Persona 4.
Ah, I see! Well, I hope whatever they do they should hurry it the hell up.
Or at least give me another version of P3 to playthrough.
I think we're gonna get a game with it's own identity that evolves the design, but still isn't radically different from what we've had. You want change, but you don't want an amount so drastic that the game is Persona in name alone.
Index has their interests as well. If they think Hashino is making something they simply can't sell to people who like P4, then they won't let him make it. Because that's the momentum they're riding high on right now. Golden, Arena, the anime, the figures, etc etc. I don't think they're gonna put out anything anywhere near as common denominator and soulless as say FFXIII (they won't release anything like that at all), but they're not going crazy either.
I think this is dead on. My concern is which parts will change and which stay the same.
No more robots, please.

Can we get a robot steven hawking named STEVEN
From a story standpoint, I honestly think we have to just wait and see. I have faith though.
From a design standpoint, I'm looking forward to a game actually balanced around Golden's systems.
Embrace our peg feet overlords.

Like I said, Persona 5 will be focused on robot girl humanity.

I just hope it isn't as easy as golden was. The difficulty is a freaking joke.

It was an easy game made even easier. Get Eternal Punishment if you want a challenge.
I like their cryptic look, it kind of seems like a tarot deck an old-timer would use.

4 is actually my least favorite game from a gameplay perspective. It doesn't help that golden completely dumbed down the game even more. Is EP available on the vita store yet?

It's the reason why I haven't touched the game yet. Should really finish IS first though.Not yet, but it's transferable through the PS3. Is that why the OT's so dead?

Uh... yeah. EP's first minute spoils IS' ending.
I agree!

I believe it'll be on the Vita store tuesday evening with that update.
That's what what I meant by balance.
I endorse this request.
I am glad for Golden's Very Easy difficulty. I simply lack the patience to go through P4 again for any reason other than the story, and to see the new content. I'll do a very hard run and get the platinum someday.
I am getting my moderate difficulty fix from going through Nocturne, which isn't all that hard.
