I "think" it's more like the strategy based Persona games (I.E. Before Persona 3), but I never played those so I can't be sure. It's actually part of the Persona series in Japan, oddly enough. In any case, here's a video.
Apparently. I know it has multiple endings too, depending on which characters you have and which you save during the game. It looks good, but I don't have the cash for it right now.
Let me make this clear: Even though it shares the Persona titling scheme in Japan, it is NOT part of the Persona series as you know it. It only shares that title because Persona is more popular in Japan and they wanted to sell more copies. It's a stand alone story, which is why they switched to the Shin Megami titling scheme for the US. It actually has more to do with the old Shin Megami games.
It's not a series -yet-, but knowing Atlus, that will soon change.

Its already a sequel from a GBA game.
The Shin Megami Tensei was a NES game that had a sequel.
Then they made Shin Megami Tensei for the SNES which ended with III: Notrune for the PS2, and will continue with the DS as Strange Journey.
Persona was an off-shoot, which had less RPGing and more adventuring/dating sim.
Devil Survivor started off as the Devil Children.
Theres also the usual mixing of demons to get stronger demons, and it plays out like an adventure story that every answer and decision influences who you will have in your party, demons accessible to you, and the ending paths.
Its kinda nice, as Shin Megami is pure Jap RPG like Dragonquest. Devil Survivor is like an adventure story with FFTactics. Persona is more like a high school simulator (+ Demons) with a great RPG engine.

The battlegrounds work like FFtactics, but when a character fights, it becomes ala DragonQuest, you see the monters in first person, and you fight him with that character and 2 monsters.

So, I finished Assassin's Creed 2. Ran around Italy and found all the feathers, even got all the achievements.
So, I went back for another run through Dragon Age. I went to Orzammar fairly early this time hoping to get Oghren in my group quickly. However, I wanted to see what would happen if I tried t ocomplete both sides of the King quest there. The answer is that both sides found out what I was doing before I had even completed the first steps for either side and now both will not talk to me anymore and I can't progress that quest. Which means I can't complete Orzammar at all and I have to start a new character. I had saved before doing that, but it seems in my haste to get battles done and such, I had accidentally saved over that spot. I've been to the official forums and seen a number of people complaining about the same thing, so hopefully Bioware will add a little end-around fix for that somehow. Thankfully, I haven't been playing that character very long and so I'm not really losing much work starting over.

I recently finished Klonoa, which was a good little Kirby-esqe platformer. A bit too short in my opinion, but it's a cheap game, so that evens out.
Yesterday I downloaded Tomena Sanner, a crazy little Wiiware game where you play a Japanese businessman who's running all over the place, performing sleek dance moves, kicking anthropomorphic giraffes in the face and riding dinosaurs. Lots of fun for only 500 points, and it includes offline multiplayer and online leaderboards.
Right now, I'm trying to get into de Blob, but it's not quite doing it for me yet.

Dissidia: Final Fantasy...
Good gods, Chaos is such a cheap bitch! I've been treating this as a fighting game through most of it, and spent over an hour trying to beat him solely on skill, but it just wasn't happening. I only got to phase 3 ONCE, although eventually I was doing better juggling him and such through phase 1. Some of his attacks seem completely undodgable.
Eventually I had to admit I was not going to beat him as-is, and had to go... level up my character. I shouldn't have to do this in a fighting game, Final Fantasy or not. It's degrading.
And my thumbs hurt. I've been playing PC games for so many years that they've lost the edge they once had from hours and hours on the Playstation.

Come to think of it, that seems to be true in a lot of games... Link is primarily melee, Ganondorf mainly uses magic. Crono is melee, and Magus (your main enemy through much of the game) mostly uses magic. Ness uses a bat mostly (at least when he wants to conserve PP) and you cannot grasp the true form of Giygas's attack.
As for me, I'm currrently playing Torchlight, Metal Gear Solid 2, Animal Crossing, and Mr. Robot, a fun platformer/RPG/puzzle game where you play as a robot and try to save the cryo-sleeping humans aboard a large spacecraft.

Its the reason why I dropped Dissidia.
Its just a Jap RPG system with a fighting game exterior, whoch means to beat the boss, you'll have to level grind, in this case, finish the character's solo levels more than once.
After going through Squall's and Cloud's levels thrice, getting 100% n each, I was still caught in some of his cheap unblockable attacks and died, so its back to Soul Calibur and Tekken.
EDIT:How the $%$#@ hell did Guitar Hero: Van Halen ever get made?
1)What are these shitty emo/pop rock bands doing in a Van Halen game?
2)Why cant they get a career mode that tells the story of the band ala GH:Aerosmith, GH:Metallica or RB:Beatles?
3)Why the hell should one start with Halen's kid at bass, when for three decades they've had Michael Anthony, and why cant the game start with classic Halen?
4)Half their stuff is missing (not forgetting the fact that Haggar-Halen hit number 1 several times, Lee-Halen never accomplished that, why cant I fucking play "Human Beings"?)

I don't wanna drop it because it is a fun game, but that's honestly why Chaos is pissing me off so much. Not only is he preventing me from unlocking new modes, he's making the game not fun. Every other battle I've had a problem with, I've been able to deal with as a matter of skill. They were extremely challenging, but I knew I was fucking up and could do it. Sephiroth took a long time and many retries to beat in Shade Impulse, but I still did it and I never thought he was being cheap. The game was still fun.
Chaos is just a cheating bitch. I'm lucky I'm doing it as Zidane so I can be a cheap aerial mother fucker in return, but that Divine Punishment is bullshit. Even the game itself admits it! Selphie says "Oh, well, there's no way to avoid this, and you're done for. So just try to beat him before he does it." Except he spams that shit.
Eventually I'll get him and the game can become fun again (actually, even level-grinding is more fun than fighting him)... It's just fucking frustrating.
Edit: I GOT THE MOTHER FUCKER! YEAH!
He even did that cheap turning giant and throwing the giant energy swords at the battlefield bullshit, and my Phoenix Down saved me. Broke his brave, Meteo Twister, ZAP!
At what point did fighting game people decide that the final boss should be cheap to the point of being completely unfun?
Having to beat fucking Seth over and over and over and over in order to unlock characters in SF4 comes to mind. Beating him with Dhalsim (my weakest character and as I learned a feat the cost me a controller) was the single most tedious experience of my life. That shit isn't fun. I don't want to play single player 1100 times in order to get all the fucking characters so my friends and I can have a good time with it.

Yeah, you can basically blame SNK for the cheating bosses. I think it started with Rugal though...

Just try it on Expert. Then you will grow to hate the game as much as we do...

That's not the game's fault; that's the players.
L4D2 is also harder than original L4D. I could rock Expert on L4D.

I never actually got a chance to do Expert stuff in L4D as I only got the game like a month before L4D2 came out. All I know is that Expert is crazy hard in L4D2 and that's it's nigh impossible to do without people you play a lot with.
