Have you played Persona 3? It's darker and more edgy than 4 by a long shot, but is also a very good game in it's own right.

Ah, yes. Instant death attacks and a protagonist that, when he dies, ends the game. Flawless design; But it's typical of the entire Shin Megami Tensei series: The persona games are really easy compared to the ass-fuckery that is games like SMT: Nocturne or Devil Survivor.

As for what I do for work, the answer is simple: Security. 

So I get to walk around a lot and stare at people like they're morons and not be judged for it.
