I’m lovin’ it. I just wish the enemies would realize how inferior they are and leave me alone. I finally got Estoma to keep the encounter rate down, but my level is very low because of all the negotiating I’ve been doing, so it doesn’t make much difference.

Oh, P2: IS. The final boss does single-digit damage to your MP on HARD MODE. In other words, free turns for you. The game will never get harder.

Uh oh! I’m sorry. i didn’t mean to. I used the word “beloved” cuz people love it, i really don’t remember exactly what was about, just remember hating it.

“beloved” plot twist? Please don’t spoil the game for me, I want to experience it for myself.

you can turn off battle animations

That would be so welcome in this game. I’m sick of watching the fusion spell animations.

i remember now!!, its not that the spell combos were new, but you can give your party the order of actions that lead to the combos and save it into a list in EP, in IS you had to memorize the order to pull of the combo (hence they’re easier and not to elaborated) also in EP there were triple fusions…
i think i just quit saying random useless stuff.. i don’t want to mess with your experience with the game

I played the Gemini traslation that came in 2009.I enjoyed the game but cant help but notice some minor things missing in regarding to EP. like spell combos, group conversations, persona mutations.
I admit that i’ve played those games long ago, so i must be wrong. in EP you collect a number of tarot cards to “buy” your personae. i just dont remember doing that in IS. And about rumors, guess they exist in both games, but i remembered to pay for some rumors to spread and immediate effect on stores and equipment resistances or better, to make demons spread rumors to find hidden areas in dungeons or to make some weapons super strong or weak. i dont remember such things in IS.
Then again i just played those games once and must admit they’re very good, but dont remember everything. Sorry if i am wrong, don’t take my claims too seriously.

In Kinas’s case the strong dislike towards the characters might end in to a dropped effort to finish the game after the “beloved” plot twist….

I’m sorry to brought that just promise that you’ll comment on how much you hated it.

@liraman: I played the PSX version of IS not too long ago and in fact there ARE rumors, tarot cards and Persona fusions. Maybe there’s some new fusion spells or some new optional boss but I played both and I can say they are basically the same, except for the new arranged soundtrack and Game difficult setting. EP is a little different; less battle dialogue choices and you can turn off battle animations (which should have been included in the PSP version of IS), I can’t remember about rumors XD.

I welcome a harder game. Innocent Sin is fine as it is, but it does feel weird when Persona is that easy. I’ll put EP in the “maybe” category depending on how the rest of IS turns out.

I get what you mean about your first being your favorite. P3FES was my first and while I can admit it was flawed in a number of ways, it’s still number one for me.

Sorry, don’t take my word on inexistant rumors in the original, i might be totally wrong on this one. i only remebered that in EP they are integrated in gameplay such as in-shops content and hidden enemies. i really dont remember how they are implemented in IS besides story wise.
