So I noticed that there was no thread for this series. I went all "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED" and joined up to make one.
I've recently gotten myself addicted to Persona 3 and Persona 4. In case you're unfamiliar with them, Persona 3 is that game where teenagers shoot themselves in the face every battle to summon a "Persona" (oh ha guys it's the title lololol) to battle for them. Persona 4 is not nearly as insane with its summoning methods, but it's basically the same battle system with a few tweaks.
Each of the games has similar enemies and attacks, so it's a common occurrence that you'll already know weaknesses and strengths based on previous games. It can get confusing from time to time, like when I swore I had gotten a certain Persona and it turned out that I had gotten it in Devil Survivor, the SMT game on the DS.
I've played a good 50 hours or so of P3, and only 12 of P4, but I'll be damned if they're not the most addictive thing I've played in a while. The only complaint I have is that the best way to play this thing is with a gigantic walkthrough splayed across my computer monitor.
So does anyone else have experience with this series?~ Or, for that matter, any other SMT games?

YEESSSSSS PERSONA I love 3. I do. It is outrageously fun and the evokers are infinitely better than what do they use in 4? Glasses? Meh. My only lament is that I left my PS2 at home and thus cannot play it, although I do have Devil Survivor on the DS and I enjoy it greatlyyyyy <3

I'm personally not a big fan of the Persona series - feels too much like a crossbreed between a Generic Dungeon Crawler and a Dating Sim for my tastes. And the designs are damn weird. Typical Kaneko. XD
That said I rather enjoy the plotline behind 3 - if the gameplay wasn't so... bluh... I'd probably have enjoyed the actual game more. XD
I'm more an Avatar Tuner/Digital Devil Saga person as far as Shin Megami Tensei goes, but you already know that. XD
Huh. Might as well post a thread about THAT little branch of the series. xD

I've been addicted to P3 since it came out. I have the collectors edition with the soundtrack and the art book. I have P4 to, but whenever I try to play it the crazy TV world starts to creep me out.
