It's lucky for me to get a megaten game cause they still sell them at a high price even used lol
The only game that isn't Persona I have is Devil Summoner: Raidou vs King Abaddon, and Devil Survivor
I liked P4 way better than P3 cause I could relate to most of the characters, and the japanese theme they used instead of the Greek/Egyptian Gods in P3. Izanagi-no-Okami is the best ever!
Well from what I played of 3 and 4, I liked 4 better because it wasnt just one big ass 300 floor dungeon that you went into. If it werent for that I would rate them about equal on my list.

Have you ever played any other SMT games?

Yeah Devil Summoner and Devil Survivor, and currently saving up to buy Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga.
I'm waiting to play Soul Hackers but I think the translation project but...
But the jump from a persona game to devil summoner was quite difficult, I do plan to play all the Megaten games I can get my hands on

Nocturne is probably my fav Megaten game ever! It is just so amazing. I borrowed that from my friend along with DDS. played a little DDS but found myself enjoying Nocturne more. The enviroment and setting were so captivating. Plus I love the demon pokemon aspect of the game.

I liked it but I like the original more mostly due to music and atmosphere it seems to exude: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr4NvMeHbmc

Yeah the original is pretty good too. I still like the new version, but that old one does give off what they game will be about.

My friend (who isn't big on SMT games at all!) HAS nocturne!
But it's one of those iso/disc downloaded games for her ps2
And I highly doubt my ps3 (ps2 died after seven long years of games) can play those kinds of games
and wow I can't figure out how to get Imagine to work and when I got on this topic there was an add for Imagine on it =.=
It's like Black Frost is flipping me off

Im not really sure how many people here would know hopw to fix your problem. Your best bet would be like a P3P board on gamefaqs since they are the most active.

Yeah I think it's just the wrong graphics card on my computer. God I hate this thing, my last computer died but worked liked a dream til the very end and this one, a hand-me-down from a friend sucks so much. I can't even make amv's anymore with this comp. I cannot wait to get a laptop for christmas.
Anyway, does anyone else wonder what the mc's from P3 were doing in the future after FES? I know Yukari and Aegis became roomates at a girls dorm but I wonder about Junpei and Koromaru too.

From what the wiki says, it seems like some of the characters lives got better. Like junpeis father stopped drinking as much etc.

That's good, I honestly hope that Yukari and her mom are patching things up, even though most times Yukari annoyed me to no end.
That and I lol'd when we went to Gekkoukan in P4 and saw Chihiro and her talking about Mitsuru, I'm like "Hey can you give me Mitsuru's number, I wanna invite her to my party next time I fight Izanami."

They probably do. Check the wiki unless you want to be spoiled.

So what is everybodies takes on P2? Do you think that maybe an EP remake is possibly in the works?

I honestly thought EP would be in the Persona 2 Innocent Sin PSP
I mean just cause that was released in the US doesn't mean we shouldn't get a remake
They might however just release EP in the IS title and calling it the whole thing Persona 2 Innocent Sin PSP
Or if they wanna make more money release EP afterwards lol
Oh and here are some P2 IS PSP scans that look relatively new

I wonder what's Shigenori's using now, before I noticed his character designs looked like they were done in Oil Paints and Pastels, but his latest works look cleaner and brighter.

Yeah his new art is simply amazing. I love how crsip and fresh everything looks.

Anyways i dont think they will put EP into this remake. IS and EP were pretty big games all on their own i believe so there simply isnt enough room for both on one UMD. Plus they will most likely release it as a standalone to make more money like you said. And i dont know where, but in one interview they actually stated what i just said. Ill have to do some digging to find it.

True, and if EP was included they wouldv'e shown Katsuya or make a cameo of him in the opening atleast.
So it will most likely be that both P2 titles will be released seperately, but with the money they make from anticipating persona fans when they release IS, they'll be rich

God I hope that'll only be on the Playstation Portable 2 in the near future.
and if we do get that game, Teenage Nanako, or gtfo Atlus
I think she would be a great MC for a persona game.

I could definitely see that. Atlus has plenty of well developed characters with which to make spinoffs. But i prefer them to just stick with silent protagonist thing for the time being.

True, but when I think about Nanako as a P4P MC I'm thinking of Aegis in P3 FES, It was short but relevant to the story.
But yeah they should stick to the regular silent MC, no matter what some fans say it's the whole point of Persona.

Not just Persona but SMT as a whole. And yeah maybe if the release a FES version of 4, they could put a little epilogue at the end where you play as Nanako. Heck it could be in the middle of the game for all I care.

haha, I'm seriously thinking of a story where Nanako is the MC. I might write it here if I finish the final draft.
I'm just thinking Teenage Nanako would be so epic, just cause she would use a sword, Izanami as a Persona, and have a strong sense of justice. etc etc.
