The Persona 4/Scooby Doo comparisons would be a lot more fun if it had taken a page from Mystery Inc, but then I realized Mystery Inc was basically the Persona 2 Innocent Sin of the Scooby Doo franchise.

I understand the individual words here, but I have no idea what you're trying to say here.

Scooby Doo Mystery Inc was the most recent Scooby Doo cartoon series. It kind of went off the rails at the end in ways that are very reminiscent of things that happen in Persona 2.

We got info at TGS and the release date's been changed. So assuredly there will be some info going forward, maybe at Jump Festa this year, who the hell honestly knows though.

According to this list of vendors, Atlus won't be attending Jump Fiesta.

Sigh. Was Atlus this stingy with Persona 4 information?

No, because they didn't announce until they had enough footage to make a 17 minute announcement trailer.

I would say that SMT4 had a narrative at around the same level of complexity.

I wasn't actually very interested in SMT4, but if it's the first SMT game to come close to being as complex and well-written as even a single Scooby-Doo episode then i might have to look into it.

It was severely hosed up that one of the previous mystery solving groups wasn't a bunch of Japanese kids and their bear, imo

I just have to call attention to this post. It is brilliant on every level, just like the poster's insightful commentary on how Persona 1 is superior to that artless shitheap known as Innocent Sin.

Well done sir. Well done.

Eh, I wouldn't call a game that directly led to Persona 4 okay by any stretch of the imagination.

It's like saying that first period of slow decline that comes with the onset of Alzheimers is okay. Sure they're still somewhat there, but dark things are coming.

I was gonna say "Persona 4 is actually cool and good" but then I remembered that the actual RPG part is braindead boring and the parts I really enjoy are hanging out with my cool buddies which the game constantly forces me to stop doing for dumb plot bullshit and actually playing the game, so yeah, Persona 4 is actually kinda lame.

Really, Megami Ibunruko as a whole is mostly worthwhile for Eternal Punishment and one of the Devil Survivor games (one or the other depending on the personal tastes of the player. I prefer 2.) But hey, they can't all be amazing god tier games like Raidou 2.

What can I say, I one day hope to find a game with meaningful choices that don't make it so that there is One True Right Path.

I am aware I hope in vain.

Basically when something's got all it's skills, fuse it with something else. For medusa, you want to look for gun or lightning resistance, and force attacks. Medusa and Minotaur are tricky bosses because your options are really limited.
