Thank you SO much for reviewing this! You've just saved me a ton of brainwork. I generally love the artwork and particularly persona/shadow designs in the S.M.T. games but was seriously deliberating on whether or not to purchase this one as I wasn't too thrilled about the art scheme and setting going on in this game; its rather ordinary as you said. This means I'll be able to pick up Shigenori Soejima's book instead. :D
