Off topic but still:
Could someone tell me a bit about Persona? I've heard a lot about them but never played them myself.
Are they for extreme-anime fans only? Or are they actually good on a general basis and not just for anime-lovers? What kind of gameplay do they feature? What platform are they on? Are there similar games I might have played?
Thanks for any answers. I'll google them a bit too for good measure.
Alright, I'll answer these in order.
1) Persona is not a game specifically for anime fans, but it does help to be firmiliar with some anime traits (ei; japanese culture, ect). That being said, I know plenty of people who've never watched anime and still loved it.
2)Persona is an RPG that features Turn based strategy combat and exploration of a small japanese town. Alot of your time in the real world will consist of creating social links with other people to strengthen your ties with them, while in the alternate reality, you'll be doing all the combat.
3)As far as I know, ps2 exclusive. don't quote me to it.
4)I found persona to be alot like final fantasy as far as combat goes (health and mana bar, heal uo between fights, ect, ect.)
So, there you are, my favorite game of all time in a nut shell. Hope you get around to playing it.
