You're going to have to wait I'm afraid, I'm focusing on finishing my Halloween story for the contest tonight so I won't really have time to write up the next entry since it's going to be a bit of a doozy.Originally Posted by Bubba
I did plan on either opening up the thread or making a new thread about games that people thought would show up on this list but didn't, because I have a few interesting comments on why some titles people may have thought were a shoe in didn't make it here.
To pass the time though:
What has been the biggest surprise for you on this list?
What is your favorite game so far on this list?
Have you thought about checking out any entry I've mentioned?
@Pete for President: theundeadhero summed up the differences nicely. Persona is certainly the gateway series in terms of accessibility but considering your background with FFX and Dark Souls, I think you're more than ready to appreciate the mainline entries. SMTIV is a good place to start since it was largely designed to be a gateway entry, I have a write up on it for this list though I honestly feel Nocturne is not a bad place to start either since it was the game that got me interested in the franchise to start with.
One thing I forgot to mention about the franchise is that the games all come with a Compendium that serves several in-game functions but it also contains a short bio for every demon, god, or monster that appears in the game and they are pretty well researched from an academic standpoint. So if you've ever been interested in mythology or world religions, you can learn some really cool info from playing the series as well. It's another prime reason why I love the franchise.
