wow...i played persona 3, and both shin megami tesei ds versions, but this looks more like etrian oddesey (or something like that) then like, well, any shin megami game i guess (except for the terms and such, of course).
this is my opinion, it won't do any good to tell me i'm wrong.
@disgaea21 You mean you played the two Devil Survivor games on DS? Strange Journey on the DS has this same first-person Wizardry-styled perspective. Both the Persona series and the Devil Survivor series are spin-offs, fyi. The main series, Shin Megami Tensei, has always used this first-person perspective with the exception of the third on PS2, SMT: Nocturne. SMT: Strange Journey DS took it back to the old style, though that was on the DS.
@UnreachableCloud To tell you the truth, I always thought that the original took place in Japan, I just didn't bother finding out and the black character didn't bother me, because to my knowledge there are black people in Japan.
this has like nothing to do with the game but in the ad some chick was next to t-squared and they were playing the psp go and t-square was wooping her and she said ass and goddamnit that may not seem bad but i mean they cussed in a commercial lol wtf but they censor out pussy
I get slammed all the time for hating on Persona 3 and 4's music and how out of place it is! Thank you so much for mentioning this. I heard that their was an option to change it to the original PSone music, however. I don't remember it being so terrible.
@deathbananacake wow your parents let you on the computer at only 12, do you even know that the theme for these games is suppoesed to be people age 17 and up, wow your parents fail. LOL
@RemyZAngel anfd your a no life jackass that trolls on little kids so what i get the game and its story anyway tuns of 5 year olds p[lay fallout cod halo and god of war so think about how their parents are
This game was a real travisty to the origional Revelations: Persona release for the playstation 1. Granted i'm sure it followed the story line, but the origional hade a more dynamic feel to it as the summonings were a bit more played out and by far the biggest difference was the soundtrack. It wasn't any of this barbie bubblegum pop music by any means, I'd say the ORGIONAL music actually helped to captivate the feel for this game.
The Persona series has never appealed to me, but after a while a friend bothered me to play a few of his Persona games and I thought they were all horrible. The art is some of the most bland stuff of any series I'm familiar with, the music is generally awful(except some of the piano songs, but they didn't play enough), the J-pop bullshit sucks so much more than it has any right to, and I'm not Japanese or a Japanophile. I respect some aspects of Japanese culture, but this pushes it. Persona </3
@FFFan3445 Considering you're a Final Fantasy fan, you're not prepared to either. Shin Megami Tensei is far too complex for the type of game you seem to be a fan of, so I wouldn't even recommend it.
I'm not even trying to be an ass... I'm just genuinely concerned. I've seen too many spirits broken while playing Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer's Call by people who thought they were "all that", until that game kicked their ass and made them cry of frustration.
@RebornAleph I'm using a troll name, you cunt. Final Fantasy's sucked since FF10, with a few small exceptions. Shin Megami Tensei doesn't disgust me because of complexity, try Eve Online if you want hardcore complexity. You ARE trying to be an ass, and THE DEVELOPERS OF SMT would suck my dick for my dollar vote. Don't try to be all high and mighty just because I don't love your stupid, soulless series aimed mostly at Japanophile twats.
As I said, play Eve. Get your own ass kicked sometime.
@FFFan3445 I actually wasn't trying to be an ass, but if that's your ticket, I'll take it.
First of all, EVE Online is a joke. What you're refering to as "complex" is nearly a gameplay aspect. This is ridiculous. If that's what you call "complex", I'm sorry for all the books you SHOULD be reading.
The complexity in SMT doesn't lie with faulty, unfair PvP like your unpopular MMO. It lies in story-telling.
I was refering to an SMT that was actually hated in Japan, so Japanophile? Not quite.
@RebornAleph The series appeals to Japanophiles with its style and marketing, even if it isn't popular in Japan. I hate to break it to you, but your unpopular SMT series most likely employs every anime storytelling trope in the book if you consider it so complex. If SMT is what you call complex, I'm sorry for all the books you SHOULD be reading.
Seriously, there are so many fucking holes in your logic. Tons of things could be applied to what you said as it's all opinion-based. Fuck off, fanboy.
@FFFan3445 Instead of burping out what YOU assume is real, try doing some research. You'll find that not all Shin Megami Tensei games are like Persona - mostly none is. Persona is a Sub-Series, not the main series. Do you enjoy burping out hot air about things you don't know? In almost every language, that has a name - ignorance.
By the way. Holes in MY logic? Here you are, in a video of a series you clearly dislike, EVEN commenting on it. If my logic has holes in it, yours suffered a lobotomy.
@FFFan3445 PS: I'm blocking any and all responses from you now. You clearly are only here to dedicate yourself to being an asshole. That's just the kind of people that are not prepared to play a Shin Megami Tensei game - usually, they're too scared to do so.
Clearly this is the case.
So, if you'll excuse me, I'll just let you talk into thin air from now on. I'm very sure the appearence of your own text gives you enough satisfaction as is.
@RebornAleph "I'm sure the very appearance of your own text gives you enough satisfaction as is." That applies to you very well. You overused the word burp, it was really gross and stupid. Here you are, in a video of a series you clearly like, EVEN commenting on it. If my logic has holes in it, yours suffered a lobotomy. Fucking dumbass, people like you make Youtube a much worse place. Running away from an argument like this is pretty much proof you're a bitch. You're a fucking cunt.
When you died at the end, I hate when shit like that happens mainly when you try to revive another character so you won't be fucked but of course the enemy's turn came before you this time, dammit
@RebornAleph I'll have to agree with you, He review a lot of awesome game, but he just ends up pointing useless things or saying this or that is "Really cool".
"And the game gets much harder as you play through..." Until you unlock ANY Persona with Megido and then the battles are just a matter of keeping a watch on your SP .____.U
And yeah, I agree with the music, the Update tried to make the music a lot like the recent titles... but it just doesn't suit the dark feeling you get in this game
I don't like that you don't know anything about the game, barely paid attention to the story, and barely made it a fifth of the way into the game before passing judgment.
i have never played a SHin Megami Tensei game but i really wanna and this game maybe good but im gonna wait and try Persona 3 on PSP which comes out next mounth :)
The music is awful? I guess this must be your first Persona game for you to say that. Cuz except for persona 2 all the other persona's have no tradtional rpg batlle music, but even then I prefer The battle music from a Persona (3 and 4 overall) game than a tradtional rpg game. I still prefer the Persona seris to any other SMT seris.
Im not trying to be a dick or anything but isnt this supose to be a Persona for the PSP review because I feel that half of the time the guy is talking about Devil Summoner instead of Persona.
I actually like negotiating, though it can get old after awhile, but doing so every now and then is OK. It adds an extra dimension to the game allowing for creativity during battles. I used to play this on the PS 1 and I loved it. I can't remember if I beat, it though. By the way, I think the music is awesome, though I do prefer the soundtracks of the later personas, namely 3 and 4.
This is a really old game so it's not fair to compare it to Devil Survivor. This is a remake so that fans of the newer Persona games can experience the roots of the series.
This remake does have some improvements over the original the reviewer may not have known about, though. For example, he said battles were slow. Hitting the start button actually speeds up the battles by cutting animations down, and it speeds them up A LOT. Just knowing that makes the game a lot more enjoyable.
@shadowg3 I haven't played the game myself, the only SMT games I have are Devil Survivor, Devil Survivor Overclocked, P3 and P4...I should probably check out this version and see if the music's that bad...
I played Persona soon after I finished Persona 3 on the PSP. So I shall enumerate the bads and goods The Bad: 1. Too many encounters 2. Path for the good ending can be hard to find 3. Too many attack types 4. Dungeon navigation is frustrating 5. Bad Cutscenes 6. Need a guide to get Reiji The Good: 1. Grinding is easy 2. Memorable Characters (Go Nanjo!) 3. The Casino! 4. Music is decent 5. Persona 2 is a direct sequel Every series has its beginnings. To know that Persona 3 came from Persona...
This review has a lot of issues concerning actually getting information on the reviewed game "this is the story, i guess" the game is a remake of a ps1 game, and the Raido Kuzunoha games are a diferent type of rpg. bad review is bad.
Good, I was scared that I was one of the few people that thought that this game was really not that great. I played Persona 3 and that was as fun as hell but then when Persona 1 came, it...was....boring.
I just HATE when people say that RPG games are repetitive, because FPS are repetitive, BIG time. It's just stupid, I HATE them, they are too over-rated. RPG is an awesome type of genre. Not my favorite, but still. FPS are the most repetitive type of genre.
@jason854656 I'll check it out when I have the time and money to download it off PSN, cause my PS3 has never been connected to the net before cause I don't have Wifi at home.
And I'm stuck in an area in FF13 leveling up my characters, so as of now I got my hands full.
@weichiang hey yeah i was wondering , if you got the time, would you recommend any of the new final fantasy games? they don't really grab my attention. like are the stories any good or is it the same thing over and over? The latest final fantasy game i got to play was X ha so im kinda behind
@weichiang I hate to disagree so harshly, but in XIII it's combat is sort of bad... Despite having a real time combat system you can't move around freely so any attacks thrown at you is going right up the bum, furthermore, I never went past hitting auto-attack for a good 1/2 of the game which was about 7 hours... but I quite after that half so hey, what do I know?
@nothereman I thought of the combat system before as you do now.
But you'll just have to take some time to get used with the system.
The Auto-Battle option is there for a reason, and most of the time, the attacks in that option are somewhat the best attacks in a given situation.
Though I have a lot of complaints about XIII as well like the weapon and accessory upgrading system and the fact that you don't have any towns to visit.
Square-Enix really makes you feel like a fugitive in this game.
ffs SMT is one Series Persona is a spin off of that series and so is Devil Summoner, and Persona has beautiful music the music makes me want to keep fighting. and If you like easy to follow story lines why are you playing this? and they didn't being this over from Japan its a remake of the original Persona for ps1 which was localized like hell in the US version.
i understand that people didn't like the review, but, remember he probably played devil summoner 2, and devil surviver before he played persona, idk if i'm right but thats what i'm thinking. i think persona is one of the greatest games SMT has ever made arccording to to how old the game is. but cut him some slack everyone has different opinions.
What?! The music is the best part of the series!!! DDX It's what MAKES the series. Just b/c you don't like that type of music, don't push it down like that. Other people like catchy music. Look at Persona 4, that has got to be one of the most awesome game soundtrack ever.
I beat P3 and P4. After that my old ps2 is broken. I will call persona 4 is my masterpiece. I don't care if P5 for PS2. I heard persona team create a Persona: Catherine and P5 for ps3 or some shit like that....
The graphics may not be so good, but the sound is great, the gameplay is higly addictive, the characters are interesting so all in all this is a great and rare classic game. I advise everyone to get it, I'm going back to play it once more! Its a very deep and rewarding game, I promise you! BUT, if you're a short tempered person who gets annoyed of a bit high encounter rates, you should stay away.
@Jiyaijo I'm about to start this one up. Persona 3 and 4 got me reinterested in the series althought they are a good deal different. I recently played Persona 2 that I had collecting dust for awhile and loved every minute of it. P1 looks to be similar. I would love to see Persona 2 Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment remade on PSP.
@ando3242 Totally agree with you. I'd love to see Persona 2 and 4 remade for the PSP. Persona to me is very addictive, and I keep playing it. I don't agree with the reviewer, thats all I can say. Persona rocks!
@aleic14 Its pretty addicting though. it can be a bit repetitive, but oh well its all the taste. I like this game, but Persona 3 and 4 are obviously much better.
@aleic14 Ehm, Of course there has to be improvement, but others may differ while there are enough seguels that suck compared to their first installment. So, even though we always expect improvement from a seguel, it doesn't always work out like that...sadly...
This dude shouldnt be aloud to review video games. Simple as. He's got a subjective biased and compared opinion. Everything a reviewer has to avoid :/
By the way if you think this is a mega dungeon crawler with constant encounter, we are lucky we get a lot of save points in each dungeon. Play Shin Megami Tensei or SMT II on SNES/ect, and then you will see what random encounters really are like.
Actually the negotiations system doesn't rely on luck that much... Just go to the persona 1 wikidot and it gives you all the choices with negotiating. lol too easy.
I also didn't like this review since it was very biased. That's cool if you don't like dungeon crawlers, but the SMT series is known for being dungeon crawlers, and Persona 1 followed in those footsteps. Yes the negotiations system relies on luck but that's the case in every game that uses the negotiation system. And I didn't mind the music. Yes the combat music gets old pretty fast, but I thought it was manageable. I think you're a good reviewer, but I think you were too hard on the game.
That how I feel after playing this for several hours...random encounters? Not really how bout constant freakin' encounters. Once I got to those fucking kamikaze toilets I had to stop before I flushed my PSP down my own. As for negotiating it seems to be a complete random crap shoot. Persona 3 flipped my wig this one just made me pull my hair out. Crap Crap Crap
You know the 2 games you played, Devil Survivor and Summoner, are sort of the anomalies of the Shin Megami Tensei family. All other Shin Megami Tensei games (or, well, most others) are turn based RPGs. This Persona battle system is a normal battle system. Devil Survivor is a strategy game/RPG Hybrid. Devi Summoner is an action RPG. This is just an RPG. Anyway, you have well organized reviews so I wont complain too much.
I tried hard to like this game. Well...I did like it at first, but the more I played it, the more I started to dislike it. I didn't like how the game distributed EXP unevenly, the high encounter rate, and the grid system.
I got so fed up with the bullshit this game threw at me that I rage quit near the end. Gah.
This is a remake of the original PS1 Persona Game they tried to keep it point for point the way it was...
Now I agree with you that they could have tweaked with it some to make it so your character's weren't stuck on the grid I really hated that shit... I personally like the first person view in the dungeons but it does get old fast.
Just remember this is a remake of a classic PS1 game and keep that in mind.
i feel your comparing this game to devil summoner was wrong but you did it so what can you do.
but the game is good the musicdoes my head alot in the fights so i have it on mute on the PSP its self. it my not look the best but the gameplay and story of the game well make up for that. im 30 hours in to this ame just now and still find fights hard at points. over all this game is very god ad worth buying.
I personally liked the music.... But you are right about the non-moving character grid... I feel as if the developer needed to spend more time revamping this game.... Atleast a swivel camera view like other SRPGs...... Not terrible but a bit of a let down. I'm glad I didn't pay full price!.... I think I'm trading this one in.... Don't think I'm going to play it much...... Also the constant room searching is HELL of annoying.....I got really fed up it!.....Good review!...... P4 is the best!

The music is awful? I guess this must be your first Persona game for you to say that. Cuz except for persona 2 all the other persona's have no tradtional rpg batlle music, but even then I prefer The battle music from a Persona (3 and 4 overall) game than a tradtional rpg game. I still prefer the Persona seris to any other SMT seris.

I actually like negotiating, though it can get old after awhile, but doing so every now and then is OK. It adds an extra dimension to the game allowing for creativity during battles. I used to play this on the PS 1 and I loved it. I can't remember if I beat, it though. By the way, I think the music is awesome, though I do prefer the soundtracks of the later personas, namely 3 and 4.

This is a really old game so it's not fair to compare it to Devil Survivor. This is a remake so that fans of the newer Persona games can experience the roots of the series.
This remake does have some improvements over the original the reviewer may not have known about, though. For example, he said battles were slow. Hitting the start button actually speeds up the battles by cutting animations down, and it speeds them up A LOT. Just knowing that makes the game a lot more enjoyable.

I like CGR's reviews(especially devil survivor) expect for this.
1. It's a remake of the PsOne Game Megami Ibunroku Persona.
2. Why do you compare a classic game to a game like Devil Summoner what's the point
but I agree at one point
the BGM is really out of place even though the musics are awesome

I just HATE when people say that RPG games are repetitive, because FPS are repetitive, BIG time. It's just stupid, I HATE them, they are too over-rated. RPG is an awesome type of genre. Not my favorite, but still. FPS are the most repetitive type of genre.

You really have to give some credit to this game, cause (if I'm not mistaken) it's a port of the original Persona released years ago.
Want a great Shin Megami Tensei game?
Try Persona 4.
I consider that my 2nd favorite RPG while FFX is my favorite RPG.
They say that Persona 3 (FES) is a great game as well, but I really couldn't say for sure cause I never got the chance to play it.

weichiang 1 year ago
@weichiang hey yeah i was wondering , if you got the time, would you recommend any of the new final fantasy games? they don't really grab my attention. like are the stories any good or is it the same thing over and over? The latest final fantasy game i got to play was X ha so im kinda behind
jason854656 1 year ago
@jason854656
1.) XI: XI was an online game, so I couldn't really say that much cause I never played XI.
2.) XII:
Sorry but I hated XII. It's the worst entry in the series IMO, no offense.
3.) XIII:
The only XIII title on the PS3 and 360 as of now has some pretty cool graphics.
The battle system puts the player more into a realistic battle experience.
What I mean by that is that you feel like they're really fighting unlike how you fight in X.
It's more fast paced, and BTW, no more MP!
weichiang 1 year ago
@weichiang I hate to disagree so harshly, but in XIII it's combat is sort of bad... Despite having a real time combat system you can't move around freely so any attacks thrown at you is going right up the bum, furthermore, I never went past hitting auto-attack for a good 1/2 of the game which was about 7 hours... but I quite after that half so hey, what do I know?
nothereman 1 year ago
@nothereman I thought of the combat system before as you do now.
But you'll just have to take some time to get used with the system.
The Auto-Battle option is there for a reason, and most of the time, the attacks in that option are somewhat the best attacks in a given situation.
Though I have a lot of complaints about XIII as well like the weapon and accessory upgrading system and the fact that you don't have any towns to visit.
Square-Enix really makes you feel like a fugitive in this game.

The graphics may not be so good, but the sound is great, the gameplay is higly addictive, the characters are interesting so all in all this is a great and rare classic game. I advise everyone to get it, I'm going back to play it once more! Its a very deep and rewarding game, I promise you! BUT, if you're a short tempered person who gets annoyed of a bit high encounter rates, you should stay away.

@Jiyaijo I'm about to start this one up. Persona 3 and 4 got me reinterested in the series althought they are a good deal different. I recently played Persona 2 that I had collecting dust for awhile and loved every minute of it. P1 looks to be similar. I would love to see Persona 2 Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment remade on PSP.

By the way if you think this is a mega dungeon crawler with constant encounter, we are lucky we get a lot of save points in each dungeon. Play Shin Megami Tensei or SMT II on SNES/ect, and then you will see what random encounters really are like.

Actually the negotiations system doesn't rely on luck that much... Just go to the persona 1 wikidot and it gives you all the choices with negotiating. lol too easy.

"the game should play a little like Devil Survivor"
remember, this is nothing more but a port of a PS1 game that came out before Devil Survivor, so they wouldn't do it
However, I'd kinda agree with you about that O_o
ChaosTFox 1 year ago
I also didn't like this review since it was very biased. That's cool if you don't like dungeon crawlers, but the SMT series is known for being dungeon crawlers, and Persona 1 followed in those footsteps. Yes the negotiations system relies on luck but that's the case in every game that uses the negotiation system. And I didn't mind the music. Yes the combat music gets old pretty fast, but I thought it was manageable. I think you're a good reviewer, but I think you were too hard on the game.

You know the 2 games you played, Devil Survivor and Summoner, are sort of the anomalies of the Shin Megami Tensei family. All other Shin Megami Tensei games (or, well, most others) are turn based RPGs. This Persona battle system is a normal battle system. Devil Survivor is a strategy game/RPG Hybrid. Devi Summoner is an action RPG. This is just an RPG. Anyway, you have well organized reviews so I wont complain too much.
TheCruddyBug 1 year ago
I tried hard to like this game. Well...I did like it at first, but the more I played it, the more I started to dislike it. I didn't like how the game distributed EXP unevenly, the high encounter rate, and the grid system.
I got so fed up with the bullshit this game threw at me that I rage quit near the end. Gah.

This is a remake of the original PS1 Persona Game they tried to keep it point for point the way it was...
Now I agree with you that they could have tweaked with it some to make it so your character's weren't stuck on the grid I really hated that shit... I personally like the first person view in the dungeons but it does get old fast.
Just remember this is a remake of a classic PS1 game and keep that in mind.

Don't think I'm going to play it much...... Also the constant room searching is HELL of annoying.....I got really fed up it!.....Good review!...... P4 is the best!
