as long as your mobile phone is used to contact Joker. She also gives players a recap of "Joker" - a mysterious figure who can kill someone you dislike.
The game fades in to us arriving at the school, and we see the old teacher "Saeko Smith" being interviewed by Katsuya (a member of Innocent Sin's Detective Agency, and the brother of the protagonist from IS.) Once the interview is wrapped up, Saeko explains what's been going on - the agency is investigating "bizarre murders" that have been going on, and have been interviewing staff and students at Seven Sisters to gather information. As Maya, we tell her that we can't go anywhere because work, but Ulala offers to come with us to Seven Sisters. We go out and meet Maya's friend Ulala, who's introduced by the game as a lingerie seller who's obsessed with fortunes and has bad luck with men. On the way out we bump into Yuki who mentions that someone's here to meet us in the reception area. We're ordered to go to Seven Sisters and get a scoop, so we leave the office. Introduced as "Editor-in-Chief Mizuno", she rubbishes a recent piece of work Maya submitted, encouraging her to investigate more juicy material such as "the Joker rumor". I guess anonymous threats were a thing even before P4? Before we can investigate further, a reporter approaches Maya and asks her to see the Chief in her office. Maya collects the letter from her desk and reads it - " yOu'rE nEXt. Yuki is telling Maya that her latest work is good, but apparently Maya's also received a letter with no return address. It fades back in to the offices of the magazine department Maya and Yuki (Yukino from the previous game) work for. They move around and clap, and the camera pans around the altar, but the scene fades out before we can see any more. A group of adults are around some kind of burning altar, and one (named "Mysterious Old Man") says that it's time to begin the "Ritual of Kotodama". We then see a scene located in "Somewhere - Conference Room" according to the game's narration. SK walks away and talks to himself, wondering how one can atone for their sins, and the scene fades out. An old woman approaches SK whilst he's at the shrine, asking why he's depressed, and explaining that it's hard to know whether to keep hold of memories of things lost, or discard them. Memories of the fire fade in over the scene, but soon we're into the in-engine dialogue. The game begins with a flashback of the final scene of Innocent Sin, where "Senpai Kun" and Maya bumped into each other, then shows SK back at the shrine from the previous game. If you missed my LP threads on the previous games, take a look at them here: I have no idea how this one's going to go, but I'll try and share the opening moments later on this evening. The same caveats as before apply - I'll be emulating for screenshot purposes, and discussion is welcome and encouraged, and people can play along, but keep spoiler etiquette in mind.
PERSONA 2 ETERNAL SUMARU GENIE PSP
I have set up the necessary stuff to get this playing well (although my "turbo-mode through the battles" tendencies may be limited here), and although there are probably fan-tran versions of the PSP game I'll be sticking with the PS1 version for the time being. I think I did a "curiosity emulation" thing months ago but didn't make it more than about 15-20 minutes in because the dated presentation hit me like a truck and I was scared to go on.
PERSONA 2 ETERNAL SUMARU GENIE SERIES
Soooo there might be some old-fashioned clunkiness to get around!Īs you might realise given my earlier LP threads, this game has now become one of the few remaining games in the series where I'm completely in the dark. there was a PSP release for Japan, and an English-language release for North America on the PS1, but that's about it. To my knowledge, EP never got that treatment. You see, the two earlier games both had modern reworks on PSP that were localised for Europe. The original plan was just to do a thread on the original Persona, and then I warmed to the idea of covering both Persona 2 games, but this one may end up being the least accessible. Real talk - I've been kind of apprehensive about this one.
