I started Persona, the first one. I don't really get the negotiations though. Nor do I get the stats. Like what they all do and everything. :/
Oh that one. What are you playing it on? I thought you didn't have any PS? The negotiations are kinda messed up, sometimes you'll say something that makes sense due to their listed personality and it ends up making them angry. I don't really like the stat spread in that game, only the char who does the most in the battle gets the most xp. The first ones okay, but P2 improved. And I kinda prefer the P3&P4 style over both.

I'm gonna play them all. I kinda got an half dead PS2. And that shop had Persona by some kinda miracle... XD The controller stops working sometimes too... So, then everything that was confusing me is normal. That's cool. Are P3 and P4 dungeon crawlers too?

You're playing the NA PS1 version? (The one where they changed the names of the characters to american names. XD) I never finished it, the random encounter rate was just really high and it got frustrating. Both P1 and P2 have identical battle systems but in P2 the dungeon crawling is in 3rd person rather than first, and I think it improved a lot. (Unfortunately, only P2 Eternal Punishment came out in NA on PS1, the one before it, P2 Innocent Sin, only just came out over here as a remake on PSP.) And yeah P3 and P4 are dungeon crawlers too, in 3rd person. But the battle system is different and no random encounters. (Better, IMO. Like you pick the characters moves one at a time rather. It's kinda hard to explain, you need to see it.) In P3 you have one huge dungeon with like 200 something floors, and at every full moon there is a boss battle. You go to the dungeon at night and after school you can choose what you want to do, like hang out with a friend to get their social link up (Each social link character has an Arcana and the higher their social link level is, the more bonus exp you'll get when you fuse a Persona of that Arcana.) or get your stats up etc. P4 is similar in that you have a calendar and you go to school, social links and such. Except this time you have multiple dungeons in the TV world, that changes whenever someone is thrown in the TV, you then have before the the fog sets in to finish the dungeon, beat the boss and rescue the person.

The random encounter rate is quite annoying yes. And the US names are monstrous. And I don't have a map for the overworld which makes it too hard. q_q So no Innocent sin? Bummer... I'm familiar with the social link stuff that gets you arcanas. Since it's basically the same in the P4 anime.

I recommend getting Persona 3 first (Preferably Persona 3 FES which has extra stuff like a playable epilogue.) since playing Persona 4 then Persona 3 makes P3 look bad in comparison. (Unless it's Persona 3 Portable which adds a lot of gameplay stuff from P4, and a female MC option. But it lacks the epilogue from FES.) Both games have REALLY good stories.

P3 FES is on PS2? Also, I still want a PS3 because this PS2 is just complete mess. q_q Do PS games work on PS3? XD EDIT: When I level up in Persona, some of my stats -and of the other characters- have a red line after the green line. When I increase those stats, it doesn't grow my HP or ATK or whatever. Why is that? Also, I have no idea what to increase so I was raising only TECHNIC like a n00b. It increases my attacks and something like DOD or I dun remember...

P3, P3 FES, and P4 are on PS2. P1, and P2 Innocent Sin have remakes on PSP, and also Persona 3 Portable. Then the PSVita is getting Persona 4 The Golden which adds new stuff like a new character. (Not sure about everything, as I haven't check any updates on it.) PS1 games work on PS3, but only old rare PS3's can play PS2 games. As for the Persona stat thing, I'm not sure I haven't played the game in a while. GameFaqs i guess. :S

Wut? They play PS games but not PS2? D; GameFaqs has nothing, almost nothing on the first Persona. ;_; I checked IGN too but they don't have anything more.

I love Devil Survivor 2. The new UI is awesome and blue is refreshing after playing through the 1st one. The Dubhe or whatever look awesome too. And the changed the Race Skill Charm I guess. It's now called Glamour but it still does the same. The Race Skill of the Poltergeist is useful. Ghost Wounds. Reduce opposing team's range to 1 and movement by half. Range: 3. And the Extra Cancel Command Skill of Obariyon is beyond useful XD I just started it since I finished DS Overclocked. The Messiah route. The 8th Day was amazing. I felt important, kinda. Though the 7th Day was a pain... TOO MANY BOSS FIGHTS---! Amazing games~

I'm loving the P4:A character themes. My favorite is Akihiko's
It sounds A LOT like "Unavoidable Battle" from P3 particularly in the beginning. (Akihiko's probably my favorite character.)
