Meh, I don't think it fits.  Had it been just "Diablo" and a single rainbow, that would have driven the point home.  The current design just looks like a 13-year-old goth girl tried to be ironic.

... PSO has always required a subscription to play online
PSO (original) for Dreamcast did not require a monthly fee ("Hunter's License") to play online with friends.  PSO v2 (typed POS by accident) and onwards did.

Dreamcast's general online service did not require a subscription to play online.

Xbox Live does.

Fuck paying subscription fees for individual games on the 360.

(also psu was pretty assy by all counts)

It got a lot better with the expansion, but putting the focus on crafting and a player economy really fucks up the whole diablo-like "let's go into the mines and get treasure" vibe that was so fun in the first place.

It's hard to get jazzed about finding quality 10 metal, even if you can sell it for a fortune or make it into something awesome later.

This is correct. I used to play completely free by rigging my DC up with the then-free NetZero service. Good times.

Oh goodie.  I hope some light comes of this MGS4 on 360 rumor, so I can continue not owning a PS3.

We get two, count 'em, two translation projects finished this week: the Persona 2: Innocent Sin translation is finished. I've never played a Persona game except for 3, so I'm going to give this one a shot before I get caught up in Mother 3.

Edit: Wow, one of the very first characters you meet is given a description that screams Mary Sue (or Canon Sue, or whatever): "A student at Seven Sisters who's got the hots for [main character]. She's a white girl, but she speaks Japanese fluently and knows kung fu. She also happens to be the sexiest girl in Sevens."

You can safely ignore every persona game before P3.

I'm saying this as someone who likes the megaten series enough to have played through them.

 :perfect:

As much as I liked Persona 3, I don't think it holds a candle to the quality the older MegaTen games have.

Persona 1 and 2 were boring. That's all.

Persona 3 is more anime =^_^= but also actually does something with the symbolism that the persona series has been hanging on to just because it was in megaten and western shit is kakko ii. It also does not require you to grind yourself retarded.

I thought Tartar Sauce Tartarus was a shitload of grinding while hoping your party doesn't get tired.  At least, that's what it was like for me.

You don't need to grind beyond just getting to the top of the tower every month, which is not much of a chore. It usually took me about two to three trips and then i was done until the end of the month, and spent the rest of the time working on elizabeth's requests and taking my current favorite Persona to the arcade to buff its stats to stupid levels for 2,000 yen a day so i could trash the next big boss in about two turns flat.

I definitely preordered Persona 4 so hard. And the Social Link Expansion from Amazon, which is basically a t-shirt and a teddy bear.


Oh god. Why am I such a sucker?

Persona 2 Innocent Sin patch get!

As usual, I can't get it to run in an emulator (derpderp no sound supersonic speed lawl), but I made an eboot. It seems to run on the PSP without too much trouble. Let's see how bad it crashes at some pivotal moment....
