You're going to need to spend time in the optional dungeon to get Vishnu, as they are a few unique demons in there you won't encounter on the map from what I hear.

Honestly, depending on your temperament, I would probably save the SQQ for another day. Not because it's hard, but because I do feel that it's really easy to get yourself burned out on this entry.

Oh Michael...

Yeah, that's kind of how I feel about P1, no where near as good as some games in the franchise, but there is something addicting about it, and the cast isn't that bad either once you get used to their abrasive attitudes. My Snow Queen Quest, basically has me rolling with the cast of Mean Girls. If I replaced the MC with Nanjou, I would have every prick in the party, and it makes the conversations with the bad guys just funnier cause this party gives no smurfs.

I remember the last dungeon being a bit of a doozy, as well as the world of the unconscious (can't remember it's name) but the seriously clever dungeons are in the Snow Queen Quest.

Oh yes, I do not converse with the MegaTen fanbase at all. I've already dealt with the toxic FF and Xeno fan-bases for years, I don't need to deal with a new one.

I could have sworn that negotiations are based on the negotiators level, but I could be wrong. Sadly, it's hard to find good information on Persona 1 because it's the black sheep of the franchise.

Funny how we were just talking about this, but Trisha and the Golden Playhouse Segment from Catherine just got used again for another Atlus promotion, with a hint at the end that she might show up again in the future.

I still need to finish Raidou...

I can see the Persona Up of SMTIV after going through Nocturne and SMT1. There was definitely a heavier focus on characters and story conflict that runs counter to what I have always felt was a series that maintained an emotional detachment between the cast and narrative. I just disagree with the angry fans that it was a bad thing to make this change.

I think DS1 falls into that category of being so wonky, that Atlus knows they couldn't just port it, they would likely have to do some serious modding on it like they did with Persona 1. It has not aged as gracefully as other games and most fans consider Soul Hackers to be superior in most ways.

PSP EP not getting released out of Japan was definitely a missed opportunity, and one I'm still a bit miffed about as well since it had the better new content. It's not helped that I found it to be the better of the two games, and the PSP port of IS ended up putting in a lot UI features from EP in it. I'm mostly annoyed because it likely killed interest in the earlier games. I would still love for P2 and even p1 to get more in-game nods and expansions with the Persona franchise.

True, but let's face it. Shin Megami Tensei isn't terribly popular in the West which is why SMTIV and Final tried to Persona it up a bit to the anger of the more die-hard fans. Catherine did well in the West, which surprised everyone.

Actually, before Persona 5 shattered the record, Catherine was actually one of Atlus' best selling titles. I really wouldn't be surprised if they at least re-release it later. I mean it's even a DLC costume set for P5, so I wouldn't be worried about it being forgotten.

That's cool.

I've been replaying Breath of Fire II lately and getting back into fighting games a bit thanks to a youtube series. I've been debating about a new playthrough of Catherine as well since my entry for it on my list.

You probably can't use her yet since you need to be level 20 to equip her. Course the game has no issue letting you make things you can't use.
