So I had an interesting thought the other day. Do you think Catherine falls into Megami Tensei's cannon? More specifically Persona.

I mean think about it, both Persona 3 and Catherine revolve around climbing a tower that only appears at night. Not to mention Vincent did make a cameo in P3P, even if it was just an advertisement plug. Could it be assumed that Persona 3 and Catherine take place in the same universe at roughly the same time?

Not a chance
Seeing as Vincent lives in space and takes a rocket ship to another city and all.

I'm pretty sure everything (and everyone) going absolutely stir-fried crazy in the home stretch is part of the Evangelion Experience, and this is something that does not occur in DS2, so no.

If anyone wants Digital Devil Saga sealed in the deluxe box, I've got one up on ebay now. To be less of a spammer I'll not link it, but you can find it if you want it. Full disclosure: yes I am trying to get a lot of money out of it. I priced the buy-it-now based on some recent buy-it-now finishes I saw before listing.

They were reprinted a couple years back and run for about $25 new. What's in the Deluxe box that people would pay four times that?

Someone is selling the deluxe box by itself for $12 on ebay, seems like you could just fake it for a fraction of the price. I guess it came with a soundtrack sampler too? But you could buy the full soundtrack for BOTH games for under $40.

Speaking of the Devil Saga games I just finally got around to starting 2 today. Are there any parts where the game says "gently caress you" and takes my characters away forcing unused party members on me? I've just been rocking Serph/Argilla/Gale but I just got the next two members.

Yes. In fact, the entire game is like a non-stop revolving door for your party. Gale and Cielo are gonna be your safest bets.

There's nothing special in the Deluxe Box. It's the box itself that's Deluxe.

I'm not making GBS threads you here. I have the thing, and on the back under Special Deluxe Box Set Includes: it says:
  • Collector's art box for Digital Devil Saga and Digital Saga 2 (DDS2 coming Summer 2005-not included)
  • Full color 40-page manual
  • Official Soundtrack CD featuring 30+ tracks from the game!

Edit: Does anyone know if there's a complete beastiary anywhere? The one on gamefaqs doesn't have some enemies listed.

Regarding selling DDS, I'm not really sure why people pay 100 bucks for it either, but it's probably due to the fact that it's factory sealed. Opened copies, even ones where the game is sealed but the box isn't, sell for significantly less.

I'm not gonna try and understand the mind of sealed collectors, but I'm happy to take their money if they want to give it to me, although so far no one has. Most the action on an auction is in like the last hour anyway though.

One thing I've always wondered about P3/P4, but do S. Link points stack? Like if you talk to a given Link, and they would level up no matter what you do, but say later on you invite them to lunch for a few more points, will those points carry over for the next level up? Or would they be wasted, since they were going to level up anyway?

I kind of just did whatever in P3 and it worked out fine, but I may do another run in P4 if I like it enough (so far it's pretty cool).

It's wasted, so if you know for sure they are about to level up take someone else out to lunch.

Also you can save the next playthrough for October when Persona 4 Golden comes out :v:

It's something they're doing nowadays, apparently. They released Devil Survivor 2 and Overclocked within like a week of each other, and are releasing P2EP and P4G within a month of each other.

Either Atlus USA will be having a field day announcing localizations of those games or we are getting something even bigger there.

Maybe they will port them to PC, and then start releasing all SMTs on PC from now on. :allears: Maybe on Steam, too.

I suppose I should have seen this coming after Strange Journey, but I placed my bets on the Vita for new handheld Megaten releases outside of Devil Survivor.

:negative:

edit: Though I guess the fact that all of the PSP games were ports should have been another major hint.

3DS is selling 7 to 1 over Vita. There is a higher install base on that system. The 3D part of the 3DS is a gimmick, but it also has increased graphical power. Atlus hasn't made use of it other than a fancy 3D intro for DS:OC and Nintendo doesn't even require 3DS games to have 3D after their turnaround last year.

At least the 3DS is cheaper than the Vita. Those of us wanting Persona 4 the golden are going to have to spend $300 just to get the game and console.

Yeah but I already got rid of my 3DS because there were no new games. Guess I'll be missing this one unless Nintendo really knocks it out of the park at E3.
