Some people believe that Japanese role-playing games are meant to be single-player experiences, enjoyed alone in the dim blue light of your living room during marathon binge sessions involving little to no contact with other human beings.
Yeah, sure, fine, there are a lot of great new games out right now. But for some reason, Persona 3 has captured the hearts and minds of not one but two Kotaku editors: Me (Kirk) and our resident JRPG expert Jason Schreier. We’ve been talking about the game pretty much every day, most likely to the detriment of our other work. So, we decided that we’d do a 2-player chat about what we’ve seen so far and open up the discussion.
When I think of epic JRPG battle music, I usually think of driving guitars, pulsing drums and soaring melodies. I do not, generally, think of weird funky hip-hop and a lady singing “Baby, baby, baby, baby” over and over again.
In Japan, Rie Tanaka (Phantasy Star Portable, Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3) is such a popular voice actress that last year she got her own trading cards. This year, she’s getting her own hug pillow cover. Progress!
