Persona 3 is the fourth main entry in the Persona series. Introducing the "Social Link" system and removing several Shin Megami Tensei staples including the post-apocalyptic setting, Persona 3 greatly expanded the popularity of the series, particularly in the west. It also established the balance of traditional role-playing combat and social simulation that would define the series going forward.
What do you mean by "do you know about"? Have I known about SMT games before Persona 3? Yes. Is P3 my first SMT game? Yes (others I've only seen at my friend's).
It's "do you know about them Shin Megami Tensei games?"
Get your facts straight dude. :P
And yes, I do know about them SMT games. I also know that Persona 3 is not an SMT game. It's an MT game. Atlus USA just wants you to think it's an SMT game.
The fact that Jeff doesn't know about the series really showed back when Kevin VanOrd demoed Persona 3 on On the Spot. He stated that the characters used guns to summon their personas in the previous games, even though a) that's not true. b) Jeff reviewed the first game and should have known that.
I guess one's memory can get hazy when faced with the awesomeness of shooting oneself in the head. :)
actually they arent guns at all (mitsuru made the design to get akihiko to join) also its caused by emotinal distress so they could just take a pill or something. and yes I have seen and own some SMT games most notably nocturne and the 2 DDS's
