This is a compelling look at a largely forgotten (even with the remake) gem from a series not enough people recognize. I like Persona, even prefer it to the mainline series, and yet too many people dismiss Shin Megami Tensei itself. I really need to give this one a shot, probably with the 3DS version at this point. I was glad to see you go over the differences in decent detail. I also liked this line: "It is a scientific and objective fact that Meguro's work is both awesome and slaps." It's important to keep the science in game reviews!

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world
