And now that the Obligatory introduction crap is done lets get down to the blogging:

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona... I haven't play 1 or 2 (I'll be getting Persona 1 when it comes out on PsP) but I have Played Persona 3 FES and Persona 4 and eagerly await news and info on Persona 5. I love Playing Persona and decided why I don’t have a go at writing and developing one.

Then Reality hit:
Persona would be a lot harder to develop and concept than I thought. With all the Social Links and Balance them so that a person could complete the game 100% in one play through. So I set myself a Challenge I am going to try and develop said Persona game and document it here for you guys on Destructoid. I plan to update you guys every Tuesday and Thursday with any new developments and ideas that have come out.


Concept:
Eons ago the God's created Pandora, she was a child of the gods created to seal the evil away, over time she sealed away each of the 13 Evils of the world. The Children of man and the God's rejoiced and gave thanks to the Keeper of Evil Pandora. While at first Pandora was pleased and proud of what she had done she spent long hours brooding over what she had become, from being a hero and a sealer of evil, to just a simple gatekeeper. Over the long days she became discontented and one day both she and the box that she used to seal the evils of the world away in vanished. The gods were at a loss over what had happened and searched frantically for Pandora and the box to no success. The Children of Man began to Panic; scared the evils would be unleashed upon them again they beset the gods to lend them aid. The God's tried but could not help the Children of Man. Over time Children were born with unusual markings on them in the shape of the chains around a black mist. Those Discontented with the God’s spread rumours that these children were destined to destroy the Children of Man with powers given to them by the God's. The people soon began to fear these 'Branded' Children as they awoke frightening powers summoning monsters to aid them. The Children of Man Panicked and decided to kill these Children but as they tried to the 'Banded' killed them. It became Taboo to talk about the Branded or their powers so over time people forgot about the powers of the 'Branded' and it just became a weird birth mark.
Fast Forward time to you the Main Character (hereby to be referred to as MC). Born with a strange mark on your neck you lived your life as a loner mocked for your strange marking. On the 26th of September the MC (who is 19 years old) is starting a new school locally to continue pursuing your chosen path in life.
Time passes over the first week without any major event happening. Then One evening as you leave school for home you notice a Crimson Door in front of you black points stick from it sides and the door itself seems to seep darkness oddly no one else around you notices the door as you approach it you notice the handle is a snake that looks so alive it might bite you. Your curiosity consumes you and you open the door from it black shadows reach out and grab the MC dragging him in. As the Main Character awakens he is in a black room the walls glowing with demonic yellow eyes before you stands a woman in a long red velvet dress that seems to move of its own accord, she has deep blue eyes and raven black hair that seems to float like it has a mind of its own; from her mouth seeps a black smoke. Looking upon you she grins revealing her sharp blood covered teeth. The Mark on your neck glows and causes you pain as she steps towards you.
"The 'Banded' are coming to me now? Oh ho... How fun I haven't played with one of your kind in eons..." she begins to cackle "Yes! Let us play!"
This cues a battle you the MC are unarmed with only basic attack she taunts you and you have to attack her. She casts a spell called 'Searing Evil' this caused you to take 50% of your health each time she will do this twice before you fall to your knees the Mark on your neck burning and searing you with pain. Then you see a light in front of you... your reach out to touch it as you do your eyes widen and you hear a voice "I Art thou and thou art I" then you utter the famous words that starts everything... "Per.... son....a!"

That’s the basic Idea and background to the game thus far on Thursday I intend to look at the what the basic mechanics of the Game will be called such as Social Links, Velvet room form, and Personal Stats.

Look forward to this guys!
