@Hailinel:

  1. You really expect me to go back and play it :P?
  • Those are kind of minor differences, though. The overall system is pretty much the same: complete these missions in time, and you get to live. Oh, and you better stick with your friends, because going it alone is a good way to die (Neku and Midori got really lucky).
  • Since the 90s?
  • For much of the game, she is, though. I realize that she's doppleganging her friend or whatever (again, long time since I've touched it), but for a lot of both games, both characters are incredibly similar. Also, a bit odd that you're telling me that she's not somebody I hate :P.
  • You're stretching it to the breaking point in that comparison.
  • Cell phones are a part of everyday life now. I'd hardly call that a sign of being "trendy."
  • A lot of both games? Shiki isn't even in the game's main storyline for much more than the first week and the final day, and it becomes readily apparent that the personality she's putting on is just a front. It's fine if you don't like her, but Midori she ain't.
I don't know why you bother engaging that fucking clown. He's obviously an idiot.

Finally a reason to own a 3DS

But what we all want is the long ago mentioned SHIN MEGAMI TENSAI : PERSONA 5 on our 360's / PS3's. Or did that get cancelled for CATHERINE ?

@SAYNTofSYNNERS: Persona 5 is still coming. Catherine was made to test Atlus's skills on the PS3/360 before they push out Persona 5.

@bhhawks78 They don't claim that these features are new, but for those that didn't play the original version, this is informative.

Wait, I thought Devil Survivor was supposed to be a good game? Better than Strange Journey, too.

It's a great game.

So, are Nintendo handhelds the platform of choice for SMT games, now?

Thank YHWH for Imagine Online.

This is a trade-off to restrictions elsewhere. Just sayin'.

played a fair chunk through the original release of this game. As much of an Atlus whore as I am I won't buy a 3DS just for a port with a new dungeon. If they released another SMT a la Strange Journey that was brand new then maybe I'd cave.

I've always wanted to try out the original, if only to see what the heck @Video_Game_King: always talks about. I'm not about to put down money for a 3DS in order to get a slightly better version though.

You can choose to not pay after you win? What a dick move.

That seems kind of....game breaking? I mean if there's no risk to your fusions you're just gonna crank out the perfect set every time...

As opposed to reloading the page over and over until the skills you want show up?
