Persona Q, Atlus, Nintendo 3DS, 00730865300174

Been a huge fan of DRPGs since the Etrian Odyssey series and been tracking down other gems in the genre (e.g. Labyrinth of Refrain, SMT Soul Hackers and Strange Journey, heck even newer releases like Advent Crossroad for Steam PC). I finally got around to Persona Q recently. Out of all the DRPGs I've tried, Persona Q comes closest to the Etrian Odyssey series, being also made by Atlus with the same engine and all. Pros: - Draw your own maps exactly like in EO, a feature many DRPGs don't have - Similar intermediate crafting system as EO (equipment made from enemy drops and farming spots items) - Build a team with characters from a large roster consisting of Persona 3 and 4 characters - In lieu of classes and skill tree system, characters can access different Personas and sub-Personas for different skills Cons: - Lots of filler bantering between characters. Recommended to at least read the basic bio for them if you haven't played either Persona 3 or 4 yet - Even with the boost system for costless skill attacks after exploiting enemy weakness, team's SP runs out quickly on dungeon runs Overall, I'm looking forward to finishing the last bits of the game and getting Persona Q2 as well, which I heard has some improvements. If you dig Persona 3 and 4 as well as Etrian Odyssey, you should definitely check this out.

The game overall came in great condition, though it was obviously resealed so don't expect a new copy. The game works when testing it. However they shipped it to me with no protective wrapping for the game so be warned.
