Seed of Bismuth on Persona 2: Innocent Sin & Eternal PunishmentI mean yeah 2013 me and 2023 me a more or less the same person, no profound changes at my age.
St. Elmo's Fire on Shin Megami Tensei: PersonaHaha, my review of 2 is coming in a few days. It is better, but not by much. I have heard 3 is a lot better and introduced a lot of the mechanics the…
Act on Shin Megami Tensei: PersonaThis game is literally unplayable and tbh 2 isn't much better. Haven't worked up the nerve to try 3 yet, it's been on my shelf for a while.

St. Elmo's Fire on Shin Megami Tensei: PersonaRe: Persona lore, that's incredibly and unnecessarily convoluted. I could see it if they just removed the gods-and-demons layer and outright named the…
Anon-kun on Shin Megami Tensei: PersonaThis review is just... I don't even know where to start from. Sorry, but your understanding of the Persona system is fundamentally flawed. As you ment…
St. Elmo's Fire on Shin Megami Tensei IV & ApocalypseI will admit I was playing SMTV at the same time as this, and the Mermaid there uses the same design but is much more blatantly underage (see the upda…
Seed of Bismuth on Shin Megami Tensei IV & Apocalypsefirst none of the image links work for me. So assuming this is the mermaid design your talking about: https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Mermaid Bec…
St. Elmo's Fire on Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga: Avatar TunerNah, the very next SMT game (Strange Journey) went right back to fighting angels. This was just a temporary detour.
