While Persona 2 is slow and clunky to play, I only suggest people play it because 1. The characters are really really good. I didn't expect to fall in love with all of them so fast but they're great and 2. it gives insight on the deeper backstory of P3/P4 (ex. what's with all the butterflies? what are shadow selves, really? and some Jungian psychology stuff)
Anyway, is anyone going to be watching the Golden anime next month? Seeing as I don't have a vita and probably never will, I'll watch it to experience the differences between the original and golden ^^
