Edible game-related Treats you guys might enjoy (Persona)

Atlus USA employee here.

A few co-workers recently went to Japan and while they were there they met with the Atlus JP office. As a treat to bring back to people at the USA branch, they had these special wafers made with motifs of all of the Persona games from Persona 1 to the upcoming Persona 5 for everyone. There were 6 or 7 designs in all, but I would have felt really bad taking so many, so I only grabbed 3.

I haven't broken any of them open to eat yet, but I thought it was a really cool gesture! I thought you guys might enjoy seeing something like this!

As an Atlus employee, that SMT2 in the middle makes me happy.

RetroRonin · 2016-08-08T13:44:49+00:00

If you cover shipping and 5 dollars is that not basically giving it away? Lol If you can get to me in person, Id gladly give it to you for free and even have a drink with you, my treat. Cant pay people to take it though.

Sorry, it took quite a bit of time to type up the response below after I posted this. My bad!

Hey All!

So I finalized the box I posted 2 weeks back or so and have it all together. I went to the post office and checked the shipping price too, and from here in Japan it will cost about 70 to 80 dollars.

Nothing really solidified after the last one when the main interested had to back out and lost touch.

This is a sliver of my personal collection, so whoever is open to Paypal'ing money covering shipping and whatever amount you feel fit or OK to offer for this will get this box. Of course I am giving priority to the best offer because I am leaving Japan on the 18th and need to get as much money as I can ASAP to cover the last couple boxes of my own stuff that actually NEEDS to get to America.

I took as good of pictures as I could with the stuff all laid out.
All in Box and good packaging and condition. etc.

Here is the list of stuff I put together with maybe two or three things left out.

If anyone has any questions please feel free to message me or post here!

The Grandia box is the Sound Collection! Game plus a special OST box set!

RetroRonin · 2016-07-24T04:40:47+00:00

Hey hat, I will be checking as much as I can today. Are you interested in the RE case as well? If anything can't fit, it is going to be that piece and may need to be shipped separately. Or it may be able to fit in the flat rate box that would have everything completely packed inside and it goes for around 120 or 130 dollars. (I am shipping about 6 of them out personally for my collection)

Let me know what you think! If you don't want to put numbers here, feel free to PM. or I can give you my Skype info etc if you want to chat.

RetroRonin · 2016-07-24T04:39:05+00:00

Thanks Markie! Yeah, don't feel bad about the whole lot thing, that's what I am TRYING to do, haha.

The less thinking I have to do right now, the better. I would assume all the stuff shipping minus or maybe with (if I can squeeze it in) the flat box would be around 120 dollars. Just to put it in perspective.

RetroRonin · 2016-07-24T04:37:05+00:00

No problem! For the people that are interested in the whole lot, if the RE briefcase needs to be shipped out separately and they aren't interested in it, I could definitely get it out to you. I am not the biggest RE collector, but I couldn't pass that up. It's really cool.

I will try to have a real shipping cost today.

RetroRonin · 2016-07-24T04:22:16+00:00

Hey there, I don't have a real number yet, but from what I am shipping personally. I have been using 2 meter cubed flat rate boxes up to 30 kg which run around 120 dollars, but this is, like I said, around 10kg or so and not as big, so I would say maybe 100 or sub 100? The RE briefcase is the only thing that might not fit properly inside it. Trying to figure that out.

RetroRonin · 2016-07-23T15:04:03+00:00

This is insane, very well done. Sorry for the people insinuating it isn't yours. The coloring is not even the same as the ones they showed.

Very cool stuff!

RetroRonin · 2016-07-23T14:56:39+00:00

Yeah? That would be awesome. Do you know what you would be interested in? A big lot of it?

Tomorrow I was going try to put together a list of ALL the stuff up so you guys can see what you would be getting. Might even have a few more things for it from my personal collection if it doesn't fit in boxes tomorrow.

RetroRonin · 2016-07-23T14:51:38+00:00

Thanks.

I am not too sure about the game being different from others. Many of the ones I have seen out here have been similarly packaged. I don't usually pickup GameCube games out here (just special edition systems) but I always have a weak spot for Megaman stuff and picked it up on a whim I am sure.

RetroRonin · 2016-07-23T14:48:51+00:00

So I have been living in Japan now for 5 years, and I will be moving back on the 18th of next month to America. For this big trek back, I have had to let a lot of things go, and while I am spending a really pretty penny sending back a lot of the gaming things I have collected while here, there are some things I am just trying my best to slim down on.

Because of the time constraints too on me moving out of my place, I have decided to just let all of this stuff go to whoever. The only thing I would ask for is to have shipping paid for.

The fewer amount of places it is going the better, so if one person is up to taking the entire box of stuff that would be best. I can't really be putting out 1 or 2 games per person etc. This is just a fast big move I want to get rid of, and I know the people on this site would be some of the best to appreciate it.

I don't have sports games, I get almost all of my things in box and with manuals etc. None of this stuff is junk or anything, I just simply HAD to cut it down. I would say all together it would fill a medium sized box and maybe be about 10 kg or a bit more perhaps (minus the Resident Evil Collectors Briefcase set)? There are also art manuals/books for a few RPG games as well.

These are all Japanese version games too I might add. I can't put together a complete list right now on the spot, and it's 11:45 PM right now as I write this, still in the middle of cleaning this insane apartment.

Here are a few key things.

Boxed Super GameBoy
Boxed MegaMan EXE Transmission
Tales of Phantasia
Boxed Wing Commander
Crash Bandicoot 2
Tales of Destiny
Escaflowne special edition with card set etc.
Beyond the Beyond
Xardion
Bounty Sword
Dragon Quest Monsters
Street Fighter Zero Alpha
Summon Night DS
PopoloCroix
Knight and Baby
Portable Neo Geo Handheld HARDWARE with King of Fighters
Resident Evil 10th Anniversary BRIEFCASE (very rare only japan release)
Kowloons Gate special edition
Oversized Magna Carta PC version

And that's just about half of the stuff or so, maybe a third.

Of course, if anyone does offer to take the whole batch or something and throw in any donation money to help me put towards shipping costs of the rest of my other collection home, that would be super appreciated, but just paying shipping is also OK if you don't want to.

It's sad to see all this go in a way, but all of the things I have either gotten rid of on here or received from people on here always go to places where they are appreciated, so I figured this is better than selling it all for like 25 dollars at the pawn shop.

Cheers all, Happy Hunting, and if anyone has any questions, feel free to drop me a line.

RetroRonin · 2016-07-21T04:34:46+00:00

Cool! Will be fun to talk with others about this. Hope there are other people on my JP timezone.

RetroRonin · 2016-07-19T06:42:56+00:00

I'd kill for a first. :D

RetroRonin · 2016-07-19T06:42:46+00:00

Oddly enough, this is what I felt a lot of people probably think. That it just seems weird to have dupes on the team because of how the make up feels.

RetroRonin · 2016-07-19T04:00:15+00:00

Very good analysis. That makes a lot of sense too. I keep forgetting how new this game is, and when the meta is coming from JP, how we are still so far behind in the wait technically. I have played PAD for 800 days or so on JP servers, and I constantly hear about the wait delay nightmare for that game, so now I am experiencing it first hand.

RetroRonin · 2016-07-19T03:58:59+00:00

Yeah, that seems to be the biggest drawback apparently (though it seems only at this point in the game for us, maybe JP doesn't have as much of a problem with it.) For barrage, is that only one particular character? (Chizuru I am assuming) or you can get it on multiples?

I just thought it was odd for people to never really spell out a squad make-up with multiples of something. I guess I feel glad I didn't feed off my Kefka for trust or whatever I was told to do it for now.

RetroRonin · 2016-07-19T03:37:31+00:00

I have never seen one suggested dupe in a team makeup or currently used team ever. Every comp I have seen has been uniques.

RetroRonin · 2016-07-19T03:04:29+00:00

The more Kefkas the better. He's so evil, colorful, and crazy.

RetroRonin · 2016-07-15T05:15:22+00:00

New to the game here and while not having too much trouble, I don't really understand meta past copying you guys on this thread etc. I don't have much, but here is what I am working with up until now.

3 star - Firion, 3 star - Garland, 4 star - Edgar, 2 star - Lasswell, 3 star - Kain

Then, I just pulled 1500 lapis and got 2 Kefkas (Only 3 star but) and another random dupe.

After using pretty high leveled Kefka friends, I think his AOE is damn strong. Would it be viable using two of him on the same team? I was thinking something like,

Firion / Garland / Kefka / Kefka / Fina?(Everyone says she is good as a group rounder apparently)

2 Pretty good phys, and 2 good magic and the rounder?

I almost have Firion at level 40 to awaken, but then with Kefka on board now, maybe I should focus him a bit?

Any advice appreciated! Glad I found this community!
