I think you actually HAVE to do that at least once or twice if you want to get all your social links to max. It's much more forgiving in Persona 4, as you can do it in a new game plus, where you carry over your social attributes (Your courage, Knowledge, and expression) and then no longer need to factor them into your time table.
3 has New Game+ too.
Did the original version have it or only FES? Meh... I never beat it anyway. I got up to the final boss, fought through 12 of his 13 forms, and then had some get confused and Full Heal him. I literally shattered my controller against the wall after that one, as I had been fighting the boss for about an hour at the point. Never touched the game again after that.
I think Lucifer has the item you need to prevent confusion, so when you can, fuse him until you get a version that is "pregnant" with the item. Then fight with him until JUST BEFORE he's going to give birth to the item, go to the Velvet Room and save him in your compendium. That way you can just re-summon him after he gives you the item to get more than one. Your going to want one on ANYONE who can full heal.
Yeah, they are never releasing it on PS3. Instead, when they release ME3 on PS3, they take you through every choice that matters in the first two games to see how your game starts. Honestly, I'd like that option myself on 360, if only so I don't need to buy Mass Effect 1 & 2 to get the special events.A week after trading in Oblivion for Dragon Age: Origins and I'm very happy with my choice, as is DreamGoddess since she can actually play this one as well. This is my first Bioware RPG and I'm loving all the dialogue trees, the different events. It's a lot of fun.
I heard of this game called Knights of the Old Republic. Supposed to be kind of good. Might look into that as well.
(We'd have bought Mass Effect a while ago, if they bothered to release it on PS3.)
Then I guess I'm not playing the Mass Effect games until I get a decent gaming computer (either I learn to save more money or hey, taxes 2012...) Just getting to make the choices is not the same as being in the moment, playing your version of the character, and making those choices. I can see why it'd be a big deal to have to port it, but for my tastes, they might as well not have bothered with the latter games if they weren't going to start from the beginning.
They couldn't start from the beginning, they were under an exclusive contract with Microsoft, which prevented them from releasing on the PS3. The contract is up, so your getting it now.
Mania rules!
