Alternatively, make the next spin off non canon and bring in whatever. Though considering we've reached the point where death by dance off is an acceptable form of shadow extermination, I'm not sure bringing in the girl main character would be that big a stretch.

If they make a brand new spin off and it isn't a next-gen Raidou sequel then I just I will not even be able to deal

I'd really like to have a current gen remake of SMT1/2 (mainly for SMT2) so I can replay them and not have to deal with the kinda annoying first person camera. Of course, that'll probably never happen.

This is the umpteenth time I've heard someone suggest making a game non-canon to avoid some restriction or other. Is this a practical thing to do with a new game (as opposed to retroactively with an old one)? I don't know that "canon" is a meaningful concept to the majority of the audience that doesn't read Atlus press releases.

There were lots of weird and obscure demons instead of the same guys we've been seeing all this time. (I'd like it better if we got a bunch of new obscure demons in the main games, but that's not gonna happen) Plus some of the Demikids redesigns are super cute. Nidhogg is just adorable.

Soul Hackers suffers from having a lot of old school SMT elements in a shiny new package. Play for the story and the amazingly 1990s vision of the future. It's not obvious at all but what you tell the Spookies very early on about Hitomi's personality will affect what spells she gets later. "Sexy defines her" means she'll learn the Zio line and Megidola, and she'll pick up Mediarama two levels early, so it's my preferred pick. The other two options give her different spell trees: Agi and Hama for "upbeat" and Bufu/Mudo for "calm". I'm pretty sure this is the right entry on the Before I Play wiki: http://beforeiplay.com/index.php?title=Shin_Megami_Tensei:_Devil_Summoner_2

Canon means it actually happens and thus is required to follow the logic of the story (though again, they kinda threw logic out the window with DAN). If it isn't you don't have to worry about whether it makes sense or is possible, so you could actually have the female P3 protagonist fighting Dojima and Nanako or whatever. Or bring in the other SMT casts and have them all fight giant robots that turn into golf carts on the moon if they wanted. Arena's "everybody wins" plot would make more sense as well.

Here's a question, hee-ho. If I beat DDS2 (with an imported DDS1 save), and then go back and play a new cycle in DDS1 to kill more bosses and actually have fun, and get a clear save from that, will I be able to import that save into DDS2 new cycle, or will I have to start it from scratch to get the bonus rings?

You have no idea how much better Persona 4 would have been if you actually could walk around like that. Doubly so if people commented on it. The beginning of the game with Mooroka would have been very different.

I'm playing through P3P again, and realizing the redesign of Orpheus for FeMC really, really bothers me. 1) God forbid someone have a default Persona that is not the same exact sex they are. Nevermind Wild Card individuals can slap on whichever one they want. Default ones better have the same parts! 2) Even then the redesign is just super lazy in a variety of ways (heart shaped lyre, really?). Especially when you look at Thanatos and Messiah, both of which you could argue are the MC's Ultimate Persona, who are the same exact designs as before.

Thanatos isn't the MC's ultimate persona. You could argue that Messiah is meant to be androgynous I guess. I dunno, it doesn't bother me. I won't say the female story isn't lazy though, there are definitely some  things about it.

I guess Messiah could be considered androgynous to some degree, but it always struck me as male in design, especially since it mirrors a lot of parts of Orpheus and Thanatos. Also, both versions of the MC are either crazycakes, or the chillest motherfuckers around. "Hm. Town's gone all freaky, the water looks like blood, and there are coffins everywhere? Whatever, time to walk to my dorm."

The movie explained his antipathy towards the crazy poo poo by saying that he's been experiencing the Dark Hour since he was a little kid, so all the blood and coffins everywhere are just normal to him. It was one of the only interesting things that the film did that made his reaction (or lack thereof) make sense.

Butt Ghost posted:Well, I mean, a Persona is a reflection of one's self, and I guess FeMC identifies as a girl, so Persona are supposed to be manifestations of personality, though. The fact that a persona is male or female really shouldn't matter, so long as it reflects something about them as a person. There have been Persona of the opposite sex of their users before. Hidehiko from P1's initial Persona is one, and both of Naoto's. Ken's initial one is also female in the mythology, but with a mechanical design, and Lisa from P2 has Eros, though with a female design.
