Hello everyone, new to the forums but not the site nor series. I've been a fan since 1996, Revelations: Persona being my first and I've played nearly everything since. Look forward to meeting some new faces. By the way, I'm an affiliate of Digital Devil Database. My site is Biohaze and it pertains to the Biohazard (RE) franchise.

Sadly they have been doing that with every game related to SMT,that comes over here.With Nocturne,I can understand...but adding SMT to Digital Devil Saga,Devil Summoner and now Persona 3.

...it is just getting annoying.But it can't be helped,they will probably continue to do this,regardless if it's annoying to us or not.

I agree, it's a nuisance. I understand the marketing perspective, but being such niche titles (in the US) to begin with, I doubt it has a huge factor in sales. For the sake of being official I added it to the post, but will never refer to DDS or Persona as SMT. If anything, I wouldn't have minded seeing Revelations: Persona 3, but that was dropped by the second title.

As for the soundtrack, what is it comparable to? P2's trance-like soundtrack was among my favorites.

Locked away in the human psyche is power beyond imagination...

The assault awakens his Persona, Orpheus, from the depths of his subconscious, enabling him to defeat the terrifying foes. He soon discovers that he shares this special ability with other students at his new school. From them, he learns of the Dark Hour, a hidden time that exists between one day and the next, swarming with Shadows.

Under the supervision of school chairman Shuji Ikutsuki, he joins his new companions in confronting this threat to humanity…
