Alright, I started it today, from the beginning, as I planned. That's 82 hours and 39 minutes lost to time. Oh well, it was more or less like a trip back in time. No superfluous bs like an xmb, and an online connection. A wired controller. My cat sleeping on the wire, preventing me from being able to move it for another hour. It's just like old times.
Word. f**k CoD, this is where it's at.

Agreed.
As expected, P4 holds up really well, aside from a few lines like Yosuke mentioning that flatscreens are the latest thing, despite the game apparently being set in 2011. Flatscreens have been the only thing, for ages, and Japan's always a step ahead of NA in terms of the latest tech, so flatscreens would have been ancient news over there as late as last year. I find that more amusing than anything though.
The graphics still hold up, though the game does look a little blurry on my hd flatscreen. The soundtrack is head and shoulders above most modern videogame soundtracks. I can't even remember what CoD's soundtrack is. Gunfire? Hey, a game with a good story. I can't believe people think wrpg stories are anything but trash. I'm quite fond of the 5th and 6th gens in general, but Personas 3 and 4 were among the highlights of the last few years of the ps2's lifecycle. Actually, I think the ps3 was out by the time the original Persona 3 dropped. That didn't stop these games from sending the ps2 off in style though.
