So do I but it seems as least as far as the original game was concerned, Mitsuru only thinks of him as a close friend. Especially since you can sweep her off her feet if you wanted to.

After reading how much of the social links have changed in the girl's campaign for P3P, I feel it will be awesome to see the feature used in the future titles. I'm looking forward to dating Akihiko

I'm curious too, but I get the feeling it will probably be more in the vein of P3/P4 cause they have sorta hit a goldmine with this design, which doesn't bother me cause I feel the social link system still has places it can be expanded on. I also need them to re-balance combat and get it right this time, which may involve a bit of backtracking from P4's design.

My guess is they are testing out the prospect of choosing your characters gender for future entries and I wouldn't be surprised if the Japanese wanted a portable version of P3 (the moneymaker of the franchise) so they chose to kill two birds with one stone.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did something similar for P4 in the future but hopefully if P1 does well they may consider releasing the P2 titles. Course they may wait until after P5 is released.

I have EP for PS1 and I found a really cool site if you want the backstory to the P2 games. I've never played IS but I read the excellent fan translation of the script. I think the best bet would be to either find the games on a PS1 emulator or hope to god they finally give them a PSP release.

I own both copies, the PSP version is a lot better, its still silly but after dealing with the "U.S. Version" it will feel like heaven, especially since they actually do a better job explaining attack range for weapons and equip bonuses. You also get the Snow Queen quest.

The story and casts are equal in my eyes but it was little things that make P3 win out cause I wasn't too fond of how P4 nerfed physical abilities, did money, and I felt the social links were not as balanced with the story. But really, most of that is just nitpicking as opposed to a really legitimate complaint. I'm picking up P3 Portable as well, just because all the stuff I've read about the Girl's campaign makes it sound interesting cause it is very different from the Minato's.

P4 was an awesome game, I love P3 a bit more but at times its really hard to choose between them.

Fair enough, I still hope they might bring us a BoFVI one day...

Dragon Quarter has that effect. I'm currently replaying both BoFII and IV right now.

III to me just had a good cast, I liked how it turned the silly plot from BoF I and II into something a bit more awesome and epic but most of all, I was just a huge fan of the Dragon Gene system which was freaking amazing after only playing the first two entries for years.
