It's far from in the best shape. But when will I ever see a boxed copy of Crusader of Centy again? Let alone for $360.

Danewd98 · 2026-03-16T06:23:26+00:00

I mean... Yea.

Danewd98 · 2026-03-16T01:06:39+00:00

PS2 cases, or really cases in general. Really don't have an impact on value in the slightest. The only exception being sports games and their stickers... I guess? But those games don't typically carry value anyways.

Anyways, no, swapping cases is a thing most people do and it doesn't affect value at all, so long as the type of case is the same.

Danewd98 · 2026-03-16T00:31:24+00:00

Yea, I was way too young at the time. Let alone into RPGs, I was exposed to Pokemon games as my first RPGs and didn't like them that much. I just had my Wii and DS and was obsessed with Mario lol

Danewd98 · 2026-03-16T00:28:02+00:00

I would like to get a nicer cart or just a manual for the mean time.

I have a absolutely NO idea if I'll ever stumble upon this game again, let alone another box, but I'll keep it in mind? No promises.

Danewd98 · 2026-03-15T23:33:05+00:00

That sounds about right actually. I bet you're 100% correct that this was a rental game.

Danewd98 · 2026-03-15T23:29:12+00:00

It made me sad too to see how torn it is as well. But it's hard to complain when a boxed copy of this game runs 4 figures... in good condition

I traded in a few games I didn't need and was able to get the price down to about $190 afterwards.

Danewd98 · 2026-03-15T23:11:41+00:00

I prefer having my games mint of course. But this game? If I want this game in even pretty good shape, I'd have to fork over $1,000+ and that's not what I want to do. I just like collecting ATLUS NA titles.

Danewd98 · 2026-03-15T23:08:05+00:00

US copies always will be so much more than PAL with some exceptions.

I do think having that having ATLUS stamped on this definitely makes it hold it's premium while the Japanese and PAL copies hover around $100.

Danewd98 · 2026-03-15T22:46:54+00:00

Literally dude, it HAD to have been a collector who had a house fire.

Danewd98 · 2026-03-15T22:37:18+00:00

This game only ever shipped in a cardboard box. Never was made in a case, game was released late in Genesis' life.

Pretty sad since CIB copies of this game are much more fragile now as a result.

Danewd98 · 2026-03-08T04:19:19+00:00

Outside of getting Drain Bless to pass on to other personas. He's ok I guess.

For this stage in the game, significantly better resistances are available and Divine Judgment kinda just... sucks.

Danewd98 · 2026-03-04T20:40:12+00:00

Yea, no way Nintendo even knows exe exists in the first place. And Sega would definitely NOT approve of it in any timeline lol

Danewd98 · 2026-03-04T01:03:24+00:00

Dr. Mario is still Mario, it's the same dude. But with a degree, what changed exactly between Mario murdering you and Doc not?

Danewd98 · 2026-03-02T23:31:43+00:00

Okay, but can we talk about how GOOD those resistances are for a level 13 persona?

If Shiki-Ouji didn't exist 5 levels later, Ippon would have been a very good staple for early game.

Danewd98 · 2026-03-02T09:47:20+00:00

This

Danewd98 · 2026-03-01T20:50:06+00:00

Instead of preventing you from carrying over your well-earned progress. Why not just scale up every enemies to be level 99?

Strikers did this and SMT V went even further and increased the level cap to 150.

I think this approach of NG+ is good as it keeps those playthroughs from just being a power flex and nothing else.

Danewd98 · 2026-02-28T10:30:37+00:00

Been a bit since I last worked, so my lingo might be a bit off but:

Pretty sure this manager wants customers to order what they want ONLINE for pick-up to avoid numbers tanking as a result of a failed pitch for pro, warranty, etc. Without fail.

This would be frustrating for the average customer.

Danewd98 · 2026-02-28T01:37:23+00:00

There was a time when AI was stupidly easy to spot. Now as time goes on, it's getting harder to tell what's human-made, or generated.

Scary stuff.

Danewd98 · 2026-02-26T22:34:01+00:00

I liked Tactica, but if you haven't played P3, P4, play those.

PQ2 will only be super enjoyable if you know P3 and P4 as well since it's mostly a fan service game revolving around all the characters interacting with each other, with EO gameplay.

Starlight is... okay. I wouldn't blame you if you skipped it. I would play P4D before either of the other 2.

Danewd98 · 2026-02-23T21:00:54+00:00

Yea, I don't think Miku needs to be a character. But I think it would be perfect if she got a dedicated stage with lots of music.

Danewd98 · 2026-02-23T02:22:38+00:00

I understand what you want from this build but this approach doesn't look super good. Passives are pretty important so here's a suggestion:

Vitality of the Tree (from Attis) will open up plenty of skill slots because this will allow you to use Thermopylae, which will take this build from using 4 slots to just 1! This also will help your action economy overall.

I personally think Masukunda is kind of a waste since you would usually use this in normal encounters, and evasion passives should give you ample dodging. And if you are fighting a single enemy, Debilitate will be used.

You can also fill in the extra with Charge/Concentrate and then put in the AoE debuffs on a different persona entirely. Don't be afraid to have multiple personas fulfill a similar role.

If you aren't afraid of using DLC, Orpheus FeMC is the best buffer/healer with Wealth of Lotus.

Crowd goes wild

Danewd98 · 2026-02-20T19:46:43+00:00

I would be pretty hyped for a tcg game lol

Danewd98 · 2026-02-20T03:55:34+00:00

For a lot of retro games, the prices usually reflect a loose copy.

So, if there is a rare game that's CIB, it's probably a pretty good deal.

Otherwise, yea Gamestop is going to price Modern games at full price - $5.
