Damn you GameWiener I wanted to post this!
Apparently the Japanese market did not like this game, but it looks fucking sweet and I love dungeon crawlers so I will be picking it up once I get a Vita

I guess you could say they weren't very mindful.

GameWinner: You made me want this game by saying "Persona ripoff". Then i saw the gameplay on YT. WTF?
I would throw this gamr away, even if i got this for free.

EDIT: Well what have i expected. Now that the PSV2000 is announced for europe (damn that Hardwar downgrade) i can understand that the programmer have to equal gamequality with hardwarequality. xD

First-Person Dungeon Crawler like Person 1? Check
Personas? Check
High school students as the main characters? Check
Dark setting like the first 4 persona games? Check

How is this not like Persona?

I hope you're counting Persona 2 as two games, because I can't call P4 dark by any stretch of the imagination. A murder mystery, yes, and somewhat depressing during November/December, but never truly dark; just about everything is played for laughs.

Anyways, I haven't heard much positive talk about this game, but it's certainly good to see the Vita getting some US love. I'll probably wait for a price drop or PSN sale before picking it up, though; I seem to recall people saying it was fairly short.

Oh okay, sorry for misunderstanding.

Well they are two games, so yeah I'm counting them as that.

The Japanese market has actually said this game is awful.

I hope their claims are proven wrong, but people whose opinions I value have said the game is largely low budget drek. Shame, that.

 

[Kishnabe]

Actually going to skimp on it....will wait for it to reach bargain bins.

 

[GameWinner]

Trailer out.
Gonna wait for a sale.

Actually to me it feels like a Persona 3 copy....but oh well not that i would mind copies and ripoff....p3 was a good game so if this is a copy it should be good too....
don't like first person view too much....
let's hope that it's not a copy and paste of p3.....
and that it has more dialogues,that's one of major flaws of p3

Looks more like a watered down version of the first Persona to me.

didn't get the chance to play that through...
innocent sin was kind of nice but after a while i couldn't keep up with the enemies getting far stronger than my team...and it's style was kind of antique...i don't think i would play p1 through...
