I'm just getting started on Persona 2, and am wondering what people thought about this game? Any pointers for me? It reminds me a lot of Shadowrun (one of my favorite games), at least in terms of its ambience.

It's very good and original, but be advised, boss battles are insanely hard if you don't level up a lot... And yes, it has some points in common with Shadowrun. Overall, it's an excellent game, but not for everyone...

I LOVE Persona games. I'd even go so far as to say that they're better then FF games. Sure, they lack the graphic level but Altus more than makes up for it with their awesome character designs and presentation. And the storylines are fantastic. These games offer polts unlike the traditional 'loner vs. ultimate evil' fare. Persona: Revelations has what is probably my favorite storyline of any RPG.
Even random battles are enjoyable in Persona. You need to use strategy; be it battling or negotiating. And the way you interact with your Persona offers alot of depth. Stat sharing, mutuations, fusion spells, summoning new Persona to suit your needs... it gives the game so much depth. And spreading rumors to change aspects of the game? Brilliant.
I'm currently playing through Eternal Punishment. The only regret I have with Persona is that Altus never released Innocent Sin in the US. As awesome as Eternal's storyline is - I know it'd be even better if we had the first half of the story too.
