I decided to start it straight away since I finished with the last two games I was playing (for now). Not sure what to make of it yet, I'm not really into the anime thing, but if the story's good then it'll be alright. I'm about an hour in and really nothing's happened yet. Hopefully it gets going soon. I've heard good things about this game.
Care to tell me what its like Inferno?
I own the original and think its the best SMT game atlus has put out, really want to see all the extra stuff in Golden......
THE BEST METHOD to run PSX games (and everything else for that matter) is via Retroarch - http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/
If you have any questions on how to set it up on Windows please feel free to ask, its very easy.
