HEY YUKA-TAN.
HEY MITSURU-SENPAI.
Other than the super-weeaboo stuff, I'll admit I like the dialogue.

My only gripes about the game so far is...
1. The music in battle, while awesome, doesn't really feel like battle music, its sorta like Marvel vs Capcom 2, all this club, poppy music in a battle.
2. You cannot skip school.
3. According to Excel Saga, when talking to girls in a date-sim manner, one of the choices always has to be "put in in" (this one is a joke.)
4. Its very addictive, prepare to blow off some plans.

No major complaints from me so far, I've been enjoying the game.
I really like how you can examine an enemy and find out the weakness, rather then forgetting later on and healing an enemy by accident.
For some strange reason, I actually really enjoy the soundtrack. I've never been a fan of hip hop or anything, but it seems to work well for the battle theme.
It's fun having so much to do, but damn am I a busy guy. I joined the Kendo team (And there are multiple teams to join FYI), i'm in the student council, friends with some guy, need to go to the local mall for supplies and so forth. And this is just after school!
But what worries me is what will happen if I don't beat the game in time. If the start of the year rolls around and I haven't made it to the top, do I have to start over at the beginning of the whole game? I'm only about 6 levels up and it's almost may.
All in all, good stuff And yeah, not suprised about how Japanese it is because it was made, made for, and takes place in Japan. It beats Persona 1, which was changed quite a bit for the US I believe.
Yeah, I agree. randomly changing a character into a 'young urban thug' in persona 1 is worse than occasionally having to use the internet for a translation.
The game takes place in Japan, so I guess they thought that leaving some of the japanese culture stuff in there made sense.
Yeah, I've been playing it a bit more. I'd be playing it even more if my PS2 was dying and skipping every time it needs to load something. I'm not sure if it's the PS2, Persona 3, or both. I'll have to try it on my friend's PS2, again.

They shoot themselves in the freakin' head people.
Oh, totally agree. It has it's flaws; randomly generated dungeons, a low res, floaty art style... But it's still a great game.
Is it just me, or is Atlus on a PS2 roll, here? Grim Grimoire, Odin Sphere, now Persona 3....
Too true, but now I can FIND them if I don't buy them in the first week
Eh, it will probably be hard to find by next feb-march. Now the guide is a different story, I actually went to a few stores to find it.

So what's the appeal of this game?

No, seriously. One of the reasons people are buying it is because they know Atlus made a limited run.
And keep in mind, I already bought the game. Did you see my Eks-Bawks sized rant earlier in the thread?
If you want a kickass RPG, play Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. Now, THAT was a badass game.

It would've been especially useful for fusing, so you can look up what skills you're getting with ease.
I like the fact that they had an introduction explaining the theme of the game and a description of the Japanese education system, but when compared to the guide for Nocturne, the P3 guide feels completely useless.
