So I figured out why Persona ran sharper this time around, the Gsdx plugin in the latest PCSX2 build no longer required the game to run with de-interlacing, which is the source of blurriness in the past. How they managed to hack the game to display in progressive scan, I do not know. What I do know is I feel like picking up where I left off for the 2nd Cycle. Anyway, snappies time!
PS2 native resolution...
...and 1440x1080 (you can see the principle's glasses clearly).
I like the mood setting for this scene. Putting Teddy beside Yukiko is good visual design by the storyboarder.
And yes, I have savestates, so I don't need to reload from the start of the day just to see every possible scene during the King's Game, muahahaha! >:D
