Very nice interview. Gives me lots of cause for optimism regarding SMTIV. "Social gaming will play a major part in Atlus and Index's future. We can expect Shin Megamitensei and Etrian Odyssey social developments this summer." This does not. See the current thread about LOZ.

They never seem to really apply for over here, the social side to games. I can see it working in Japan where the market isn't as niche, but I'm lucky if I find anyone trade pokemon with these days never mind a Megami Tensei game.
Or have I misunderstood the social aspect.

Let's not ring the death knell on this just yet; Japanese games have been pretty good about making that social nonsense not be required for full enjoyment of their games.

"I felt a nameless dread. Well, there probably is a long German name for it, like Geschpooklichkeit or something, but I don't speak German. Anyway, it's a dread that nobody knows the name for, like those little square plastic gizmos that close your bread bags. I don't know the name for those either."

So I just realized Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers has a character named Masahiro Sakurai...
Er, coincidence?

Hopefully this just means SMT and EO Facebook Games or something, and not a bunch of goofy stuff messing with their main products.

Persona 3 Film adaptation confirmedSo let me get this straight. We are getting a movie about modern day Jesus Christ dying for our sins with tons of fanservice. That's... cool I guess. ヽ( ̄д ̄;)ノ dunno

Pretty sure it is. That's his real name, he goes by the alias 'Spooky'.

You've misunderstood me. I just seek your death only because you're in the way of my goal of world conquest. I can't help it that I have evil ambitions and am named Dark Lord. Honest.

When I played Revelations: Persona a decade ago I thought it wasn't very good. Now that I fuckin' love Persona 3 I'm curious about the recent PSP Persona games. Can anyone honestly recommend them, or should I just stick to the new class of more recent SMT games?
