Been playing too many games lately.

Yeah, the patch for Persona 2 Innocent Sin came out and I've been playing that religiously for the past few days. One of the best PSX JRPGs ever - play it! Fable II came out as well so everyone's been playing that lol. Add that with Pokemon Pearl and mine and Matt's current Oddworld obsession....you get the idea.

Anyways, ordered this book off Amazon the other day - the Hamlyn History of Mythology. It's a truly beautfiul book, and it's theoretical too so it's quotable ^^ There's so much stuff in it from primal chaos (how different mythologies interpret the beginning of existence) to the end of the world (Ragnorak and such). It's even got stuff like Zoroastrian mythology in it which is pretty difficult to understand nevermind rare to find in a book. I've ordered another one but it hasn't arrived yet.

Fittingly I found the info on this book on the Allegory of Whatever website - the number one port of call for Innocent Sin help and such. The guy who runs it's put up a list of interesting mythology books, as the Persona series derives a LOT from lots of mythologies around the world.

So yeah, playing Persona 2 = research ^^

The Mother 2 translation is for GBA not DS - you'll need a ROM and the translation patch.
