Both series are pretty fucked honestly.
SMT really has no reason being a part of Persona and vice versa. Besides that I loved the story and style as you said. The dungeons and RPG stuff we're just kinda there for me.
So far I haven't minded SMT stuff but nothing has hooked me. If not for persona I probably wouldn't even bother with them. Which is probably why they still keep the SMT name around them.
As for Mind Zero or whatever the hell it's called. I'll grab that day one if they play it smart and price it cheap like Hyper Dimension Neptunia.

I usually compare SMT with this:
While Persona feels like its more of a Dragonball/Fairy Tail or Shounen-Anime, the other SMT titles feel more like Texhnolyze, Ergo Proxy or Ghost in the Shell. While the themes in both are often similar, the presentation in the other SMT titles is more mature I would say.
Wow you really like Final Fantasy.
Did you play DS2 DLC btw?
Yes, beat the iron king, still working on the other two.

I've only beaten DS: Overclocked and Soul Hackers 3DS. So can't say much since both were just ok for me.

Sorry for ModBot's temporary barf there. It was a weird case where people were being drawn to win a game that was already nuked. ModBot normally handles this well but the code for the trivia function was behaving funky, causing ModBot to interpret the nuked game as a trivia question game, and then erroring when it couldn't read the trivia question properly. Issue resolved and I believe ModBot should be clearing the backlog of anything else it had to draw for imminently.
Was supposed to be three games will try and do the other again.
ModBot said:Instructions for participants:

Nice of Ubi to include the pre-order DLC in the DDE by default, though.

Still not getting it for awhile. EVERYTHING should have been in Dark Souls 2 from the beginning.
The DLC box still needs some presentation work (for one, I'd move the acquisition dates to the DLC tab of the properties window, replacing the "Acquisition method" column seeing as the client has long reported Steam Store even if you activated the DLC via a retail key, which renders the info useless since there's no longer a distinction), but at least it's out of the way.

Having the DLC built into the main screen view rather than buried under layers makes a world of difference. Great move.

So i played Castle in the Darkness today , here are my 1st impressions :
Good :
- RPG elements ( change equipment and stuff like that )
- Decent controller support ( i can use the D-pad and the analog stick to move so thats good , some games dont even have that :v )
- Fun boss fights
Bad :
- The game does have resolution options but it doesnt save the resolution that i picked so every time i start the game i have to pick the resolution that i want
- No Pause button ( only way to pause is alt tab , then a message appears saying "Game paused, press "P" to continue)
- Random Crashes
overall im liking the game , hope it gets patched in the future, i would say buy it if you like hard platformers

p4 is better than p3 in every way except for how they summon the personas.
So the game that is for I bought when I lived in the states. I now live in Taiwan. Would this even work?
You have the ROW version. You're fine.
Edit: Assuming you bought it from the US store.
i haven't played p4

"What's Persona 3?"

It's SMT style combat (great!), very simplistic randomized dungeons (meh!), and an overworld meta-romance game where you need to decide how to spend your time with your friends/studying/etc to level your stats and personas (demons that fight for you, basically) up. I think most Persona lovers LOVE that meta-game and going on dates and stuff, because you can get better dungeons pretty much anywhere and you can get the combat system/demon fusing in other SMT games (like Nocturne).
It's not my thing, though I love the other SMT games like Nocturne, DDS, etc. Anyone who likes the romance type stuff or VNs would probably go gaga over P4G, though.
It's not a Persona clone. It's got teenager heros and a clean artstyle reminiscent of Persona (which is why everyone expected a clone), and that's about it. Gameplay wise, it's very different from Persona, with a unique combat/skill system. You do have 'alternate forms' but that's not a system unique to Persona, and they work extremely differently from Persona's personas. It's basically a standard DRPG with a unique skill/combat system (skills are based on upgrading/leveling cards you find, and combat is too complex to describe quickly, but I do like it, and I can't think of any other DRPG like it).

I cant buy GTA anymore?
the back and forth between social stuff and dungeon crawling in the persona games is what makes them so great, both aspects of the game affect each other and juggling them both while also having a genuinely awesome story with great characters and presentation (dem fucking menus, man) and then the very tight combat, it's just all so fucking good

If we're going to take this in a Steam direction (in SteamGAF, crazy, I know!) for people who like the Persona style social links without all the dungeon crawling, then Cherry Tree High Comedy Club is available on Steam. It's pretty cheap AND it has a free demo, so if you want to know what the Persona metagame all about, it's not spot on but will give you a general approximation.

the persona stuff earned the thread a few page buffer of anime game talk. well done.

and thats fucking awesome.
That's not GTAV.
Edit: Speaking of, though, as expected it was San Andreas that didn't make it to Tier 2.

Careful, someone around here might think you like Anthony Burch, and run you out of SteamGAF.
I never understood the hate, personally.
Oh. I assumed it was. so GTA5 is still good?
In terms of it being region-free, yes, but again I'd caution against buying the CN sub just in case it's region-locked at the runtime level later on as Thi4f's RU/CIS pre-purchase subs were.
Edit: Unless you live in China, in which case go nuts.

I am still living here. Just a bit scared that when I am back in Germany at the end of this year, that I wont be able to run it anymore.

WTF http://www.vg247.com/2015/02/06/team-ninja-wont-make-any-more-pc-games-if-modders-are-naughty/ ? As if their games aren't NSFW already or NSFW ready. The hypocrisy -_-
I've read here and there that if you move and can no longer run a particular game, Valve will remove the region-lock for you specifically. Since you may find yourself in that situation if you were to buy GTAV and it is region-locked later down the line, I'd ask Valve if that's something it actually does.
Translation: "if we don't sell enough skimpy outfit DLC because people just use free mods, we won't release on PC any more"

Thanks. Then I will buy it soon I guess.
You don't say?
And they've still not added the amount of content that was promised to be in the game pre-release... Nor safehouse customisation, weapon customisation... Safehouse activities and singleplayer content there... And police-raids of the safehouse... Sigh.
I bought into the hype.
And this is why I'll not touch Goldfarbs new indie... Thing with a ten-feet pole.
Like I said, I'd first confirm with Valve that it's an actual policy and not just hearsay.
