Great read man! It reminds me of a lecture I watched recently. It was John Cleese speaking about creativity, and comparing creativity to playing. If one is to properly play, one must do so in a relaxed, open environment, and if you compared that to Videogames, it meant that the more time you took to slow down and enjoy a game the more fun you'd have. I've normally enjoyed games the longer I've spent with them, and it's awesome to see other people feel the same way. On top of that is the fact that Persona is just so bloody unique, which definitely helps. xD
Anyways, keep up the good work, and awesome blog post!

What a cool idea! I've played through the entire game twice now, and even though it's such a long game, I wouldn't mind playing through it again. I've been watching the anime recently, and it's just making want to replay the game even more.
And yeah, the opening sequence for the game is fantastic!

In my opinion, the anime ended up being far better than the game itself. There's a feeling of emotion there that you absolutely do NOT get from the game.
I think it's awesome that you decided to do this, though. I was actually thinking of doing the same thing with Persona 3, but I just don't have the patience. I'd want to jump ahead every time. :P

I've had my eye on the persona games for a while, unsure where to jump in. 3 & 4 are considered the best from what I gather, and 4 looks truly brilliant. I think you just convinced me to pick this up. Love the idea of the comic, I wish I'd thought of that.
Faps for days! This was a great read. I tried getting into Persona 3 once, but most JRPGs just aren't my thing. This makes me want give the series a second chance.
@pedrovay: I actually felt the opposite way, strangely. The one scene with Nanako (you know the one) made me shed tears both times I played the game, but when I watched that part in the anime, it didn't really seem to affect me in the same way for some reason. Not sure why. Maybe because I felt like I was an active part of the game, like the main character was me rather than Yu Narukami, something that a show can't really do.
@bbain
I wasn't as affected as the game when it came to Nanako's scene, but I got really close to bawling when Yu lost it on Yosuke's shoulder. I think as much as I liked BEING the main character, the emotions seen by Yu got to me. I get emotional if I see someone else getting emotional, I guess. :-P

To have an experience like that run concurrent to a game sounds awesome. I've never played any Persona game before so I'll need to change that one of these days. 38 weeks sounds a bit much for me though haha!
