Meandering! The Persona and the Odin Sphere

[sincere]

Jason and I played up to the first dungeon sequence in Persona 3, and I approve. Characters and game system seem cool, I like the atmosphere and the ideas. Jason pondered something that may not actually be addressed in the game: what does it say about Minato, that he has all these Personas, which are supposedly representations of your soul, etc? It's like he switches personalities, identities, at the drop of a hat. What must it be like to know someone like that? Wouldn't it be freaky? Silent hero syndrome, though.

He also showed me the complete collection of videos of Gwendolyn's story in Odin Sphere. I'm glad she and Emo Knight Oswald? got a happy ending, for about two seconds before the end of the world. I'm probably very spoiled and it won't have the same impact as if I'd played it from scratch (assuming you open the character scenarios one at a time; this may not be correct) but it was very engaging.

So they're both on my list. Sigh. Might buy them on Friday, when I go to see Hellboy lololol

I'll look it up when I'm finished with the game. X3 And I wouldn't say they don't have personalities. Only the first two games have silent protagonists, but I totally feel like I know what kind of people Tir and Riou are. XD I only meant to say that normally I don't hear other people agreeing, so it was striking when I heard fanboys arguing about who had the cooler personalities, when... the silent hero is supposed to be whatever personality you want. XD

Teehee. But don't they know he needs to build social links?!

Oooh, okay! Yeah, that does sound odd xD

Social Links? What are those? D:
this game is ridiculous, but I love it ♥
