I just got the sourcebook for Geist: The Sin Eaters, the newest installment in New World of Darkess-the one about ghosts, by the way, if sort of peripherally-and I was in paroxysms of geek-crossover glee when I read the "read/watch this for inspiration to play Geist" and saw that one of their two selected video games to play was Persona 3.
It does, of course, fit rather well, since Geist is about people who die and are brought back to life by a half-ghost half-concept that bonds to their soul and gives them supernatural powers. Sound a bit familiar, conceptually? (Especially to P3's Evoker concept: destroy the ego to draw on the power of the persona & etc.)
When I found out that the word Tartarus is also used in the setting, I just decided that someone down at White Wolf central has been playing Atlus games.
