>>25570Yeah, I think it's only on PSP. I can't recall if there's a remake or not, that might have just been for P1. It's more of a personal favorite than all that good. The writing is abrasive compared to its sequel, although still has the depth you'd expect from classic persona. It's about as painful as you'd expect for SMT in terms gameplay, though. But I forgive it because the themeing is very appealing to the apocalyptic fundamentalist me.
>>25568His wife was friends with my grandmother. He was also my employer for some time. Masons are actually pretty common – in the USA, at least. There's a lodge for every city pretty much. All you really have to do to join is to literally just ask and memorize a lot of banal shit. I knew some kids in the DeMolay, and I went to a trashy public school. My employer was a good man, but I've seen a lot of masons who are just trashy scumbags, not even that affluent. I never joined because I don't agree with the Masons religiously. They're the epitome of mysticism, and I think that's un-Christian. Not that I'm Christian. I just don't like the Templar's hypocrisy.
>>25569Ironically, Persona leans pretty heavy on psychoanalysis. I think it's good in the context of art, but there's no place for psychoanalysis in real-world applications – even counseling. Although, I'm more partial to Freud and Lacan than to Jung. Jung has the stank of Ayn Rand impersonators. And also Myers-Briggs. Yuck
