Damn I remember catching a random adult swim ep of stardust that had Cima and thinking to myself "well I guess I gotta watch all of this now"

I really enjoyed the Raidou games back on ps2 but never enjoyed actually playing any mainline SMT games. Persona hits the comfortable median of engaging story and acceptable gameplay well enough that I'll finish it unlike the misery of say Strange Journey.

Ugh, yeah now I remember. I had blocked out everything past the gouf/ez8 duel. Again a wow cool robots situation.

How did it betray you, Mario? I confess I only dimly remember the series having a saggy back end past the wow, cool robot parts.
