Oh hey, it's the game I keep meaning to start an LP of and never getting around to it. Thanks, PeaceDiner! Various thoughts on the game:

-Wasn't Satomi Tadashi the original director of 1 and 2? If you put any stock in rumors (which Persona is all about doing) some sort of never-fully-explained internal politics at Atlus was responsible for Tadashi being replaced with Katsura Hoshino for 3. I don't know if that's true but it would explain the gradual move away from Tadashi's contributions to the canon (we'll see these later in the LP) and possibly the cancellation of the Eternal Punishment PSP localization.

-Only show the NPC dialogue that you feel like showing. There's a million lines of it and I don't want you to burn out?

-Echoing what others have said about the music, but Meguro actually directed the remake personally, so what can you do.

-I believe there is a PC version of this game (probably Windows95) and that version in particular actually changes the experience formula so everyone gets at least a little. Keeping that one change would have made the remake so much more tolerable, IMO. I do like this game, but I have a pretty high tolerance for grind, and frankly grinding is much more fun in 2 with its improved battle system.

-I missed if you mentioned that the main character has the Emperor Arcana, not Fool as you might expect from later titles.

I absolutely love how Nanjo has to actually belittle Kandori into getting mad enough to actually quit moping and allow the party to fight him

"Nanjo, you tool! This is a Persona game! There is literally no greater strength than the power of friendship!" What a great scene.
