So the team that brought us Persona 4 is apparently on a new title with a cameo from a Persona 3 Portable character.

There will most likely be strong sexual references in this game, which is kinda rare but also kinda scary because the game might not make it outside Japan without strong censorship.

I am terribly excited about this !

Hmm... Looks interesting enough to me to want to try it out...

Some more info~!

Vincent, a 32 year old (GASP?!) salaryman lacking ambition, is charmed by Catherine, a 22 year old mysterious beauty. At night, Vincent is plagued by nightmares where he climbs a never ending staircase. He can wake up if he reaches the top, but it appears there is a connection between the dream world and the real world.

There’s a rumor that if you fall in the dream you die in real life. The same page shows a screenshot with a newscaster reporting on the death of a young man. This screenshot has English text that with Japanese subtitles on top. In an interview with Famitsu, character artist Shigenori Soejima says the game raw terror and some scenes are intended to startle adults. (What..? So any one under 18 or perhaps even 16 wouldn't understand it enough to be bothered..?)

SEE?? IF you have sex outside of marriage, you will be haunted by nightmarish sheep!!

... I guess that would explain the flock of sheep I'm always seeing, HEY-O! Yeah, but the picture of that sheep and its red, glowing eyes will make me have nightmares for the rest of my life...

So this game is basically Paprika mixed with Inception mixed with sexy fun times... and sheep?

This actually looks really really interesting. Some of the information I've been reading on it seems like a pretty compelling, unique experience (particularly the startling, terrifying moments).

dude, the japanese version only got rated Cero C

that's about equivalent to Teen here if I understand the rating properly

there's hardly anything in there to censor

Which is funny because Persona 4 was rated, on the CERO system, a B which is to my understanding is 12+, yet over here it was rated M (17+)...

A C rating is 15+... AO for us here?! :<

different cultures, different standards. Hell most of our PG-13 movies and some PG are rated IIa or IIb in Hong kong, which also covers our R's and some NC-17s. Hell the freddy movies, Saw and other super violent movies are rated III in hong kong which puts them in the same rating as hardcore porn.
