So far I'm only really into Persona, particularly the older ones actually, although I kind of liked Revelations: The Demon Slayer (Last Bible).
I looked up the alignments for this series though and it's really cool. :) I got $50 for Christmas and I'm wondering what to spend it on... If only our PSP didn't stop working for some reason I could get the remake of Revelations: Persona, eventually Persona 2, or maybe even KH: Birth By Sleep.
@AkumaUchitoru get nocturne it is the best rpg ever made. other ones to check out: Persona 4, Demon's Souls, Shadow Hearts 1 and 2, Digital Devil Saga series, Xenosaga series, Zelda ocarina of time
Yeah, Persona's quite good, never heard of Demon's Souls, I saw walkthroughs of Shadow Hearts and that looks good. :) More Shin Megami Tensei games ^^, and I think everyone's played OoT. :)
About Xenosaga though. I played Episode I and saw the other 2 and well... The story's pretty good and all, but it's pretty weird and disturbing. I don't Xeno is my type.
SMT has gotta have the best soundtracks of anything ever.
I think ten million Duke Nukems in one room simultaneously saying, "Bitchin'," would not even begin to describe how fucking awesome this game series is.
When I first heard this piece upon going into the Labyrinth, I couldn't hold it in any longer.
If anything, I went into that place because the music was so damned awesome! I would've turned around just before ol' Lucy's throne - which would be RIGHT after Metatron (since you can save yourself by turning around RIGHT after you beat him).
Personally myself, I'd prefer Shijima (borderline Musubi) as its principles are more Law-based (even though the reason-holder is/was a Gaian at one point).
@KidArez Yeah. IMAGINE has crazy imbalances and shit. The console games, if you can, are a lot better. A lot of focus on either character or story development, with a really fun element to the gameplay - like trying to make the perfect demons, or doing all these extras thrown into the games.
@Foozdude Yeah but sadly, people like me cant get their hands on them, so we're forced to either play IMAGINE, or none at all, and what would you rather do? I'm guessing what I do, play IMAGINE, considering SMT is addictingly epic.
@KingCrazy9 Well I did say 'if you can'. IMAGINE's a nice test, and retains most of the key elements or themes in the earlier games, too, so no worries. I played it for about a year before I got bored of it, which isn't actually too bad in terms of length.
You'd be right, it's not bad. And it is better to at least try it if you can't even get a console game.
This is probably my favorite regular battle music piece in the game. It really conveys how dangerous the labyrinth areas really are. It's too bad the music for the labyrinth itself is not as great and there's only the one piece of music for what is easily 10+ hours of dungeon.
@yoimati I believe the lead composer for the Megami Tensei series/sub-series is Shoji Meguro nowadays. He also directed the Persona remake. It's good to know that people at ATLUS are able to do several things and want to be involved in doing several things - as opposed to corporal capitalist work environment where "everybody knows your place".

I'm making a Maplestory video game, and I'm gonna try to put Matador as an optinal boss. This wil be his theme. It'll be a mixture of regular scroller, but for boss battles will be press turned based... Know a good free game making software for that?
@cjiwakura It can't compare because it isn't the same genre. At all. In all of its' glory, the old Final Fantasies, after FFVII until X, were on par with the Megami Tensei series as far as quality goes, but again, they're only comparable for being RPGs. Their RPG genre is way too different to compare, so it all goes down to preference, and quality becomes nothing more than an incorrectly used argument.
As far as preference goes, I'd have to say Megami Tensei, of course.
@cjiwakura i dont see what the similarities are to compare them, so y do people do that? im jw, but if there's near nother in common then there really shouldnt be an argument, it just doesnt make sense to me...im srry, im not trying to start a fight on youtube either, cus that's just stupider im just...uh....idk what i am DX lmao
@RocmanRaz I don't know if I'd say a minion; I think that the Hitoshura actually becomes the next Lucifer on the True Demon ending. When the maid says "Doom shall set us apart," I think she's implying that either herself or Lucifer will die. Also if it were the maid that died, then I think that consequentially, Lucifer would die in time also. Like I said, this is all just speculation; it may be right, maybe not. Then again, all good art allows for speculation.
I was grateful Megami Tensei never makes you worry about Equips and stuff

One thing about this game, when you take a life stone you're greatful that you could because death is breathing down your neck 24/7.
In FF games you have the leisure to heal yourself freely without the pressure of dying in the next event.
Nocturne keep you on your toes, that's for sure.
