/At last managed to get my hands on Persona 3 (portable).
At first I was a bit disappointed by the "daily life" interface of P3P after seeing the PS2 version, but I got used to it. Kinda felt like I was playing a VN, which I guess is not a bad thing. It makes daily chores easier/less time consuming, so that's definitely a plus (fuk you academics).
Liking the game so far (already past the summer festival) and I must say, the combat system is pretty cool. I like how battles can be extremely easy if you pay attention, but they can also kick your ass if you screw around. IE: Mind Dice.
"Oh, I know their weakness but I'll just wait a bit for Fuuka to finish analyzing them"
* Mind Dice uses Sexy Dance
* Entire party gets charmed and start slaughtering each other for what seemed to be an eternity
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Same thing happened with some shadow that used Mamudo and another one who kept exploiting Yukari's weakness (shadows have a thing against her). Nerve wrecking since, for some reason, I tend to not save for long periods of time in this game even though I'm usually a save maniac. -_-;
Oh. And awesome music is awesome.
Oh, and Slime Persona is the most awesome slime in gaming history. Halfway through the game and I'm still kicking ass with it.
Aaaaaand, I want to write about "the gazillion characters yet can only use 3 of them" deal but I already wrote too much.
