CarbonCore Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I got some six hours of playtime since yesterday, can't believe I missed this one last year (stupid next-gen ). I haven't seen a jrpg with so much style, attitude and addictive gameplay, voice acting that'll put some of the western games to shame. Plus shooting yourself in the head to summon persona just never gets old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarbonCore Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Did you try visiting the velvet room? I haven't fused them yet but I remember Igor saying that you'll have to meet him frequently, to fuse personas and weapons. One of entrance doors is at the beginning of Tartarus on the left side.
