i'm thinking of buying this game since i loved p3p but i heard there arent any social links in this game like p3p but i did hear that the story is pretty dark and i'm pretty into those kinda games. so is this game worth it or should i just patiently wait for p4 for the psv
Atlus,thanks for publishing this on America.By far,one of the greatest games ever made for the psone generation, and along with Eternal Punishment,one of my favorite games :)
It's nice to see a a game publisher dedicated to publish hardcore games for us,rpg fans :)
Now,just publish Eternal Punishment again,and take all my money \o/
Well, I have to agree that P1 is a little boring... you probably will have more fun playing P4.
I only rank it a little higher because I enjoy dungeon-crawling and endless grinding more than the sim-dating and social links in P4.. Haven't tried Persona 3 though..
Now I want Eternal Punishment to be re-released, I'm pretty sure that's exactly what Atlus is doing now, you'll see next year from f*cking nowhere a trailer for the second part of Persona 2 will appear. :D
I have that game. I was really excited about it. I was wondering if Persona (the first game is any good). And I want to see a remake of Persona 4 for PSP, then I'll have then all! <3
No matter how many times I watch this opening movie, it just keeps getting me more and more pumped for this game! I can't wait! Only a little bit away now!
they just released today in gamespot a few videos of gameplay for this game. They feature the voices for Tatsuya, Yukino, the distorted voice of the Joker and a grunt from Lisa: Ha!. Yukino has the same voice actress she had in Persona 1 PSP. Tatsuya has an odd voice when he said close your eyes in the Imitation contact. The Joker(Jun)'s distorted voice sounded like a mixture of man and women's voice. Lisa's sounded like Laura Bailey, Melissa Fahn or Stephanie Sheh.
Its not like I want to play this but what I think most of us wanted to see is persona5 on the ps3 um how many ppl out there own a psp? I don't think ther is a major. This shld have come out on the ps2. Persona is a game that I think is enjoyable how ever it kinda pissd alot ppl off Becaues they make a Remake. Atlus blive me or not a major fan of your game I and many more 100 of fans wanted to see and PLAY what we hoped was going to be Persona 5. I and many others hope that day comes soon.
@xxshakurzxx I have a psp and they said they will make P5, thanks to the success with cathrine they will make P5, catherine was suppossed to be a test on the new console before they will make P5 on there yet, also im glad atlus brought the remakes so people who never got the chance to play these before in the US can finally play them how they were originally. also one thing I don't like is that they are going to kinda censor hitler in the game and change the swatstickas to iron crosses and such
@petnamedk tbh its a "kinda of" censoring, lets see there's the name change, he wears shades and a coat (like hes trying to hide himself I guess), the nazi soldiers are the imperial soldiers, and the swastikas I mentioned before, I believe that's it. I feel meh about it, its just fine to leave it how it was is all. just look up "persona 2 psp hitler censor" and you will see
I love how they had 'Innocent Sin' and Tatsuya and Maya in Persona 3 as an online game Junpei gives to the main character, it was too cute :') Persona 3 4evaaaaa.
Sorry but persona 1 and 2 fail in comparions to how real 3 and 4 feel, the whole life choices make your endings difference or the struggle to getting all the max social links is just much more fun than what 1 and 2 have to offer.
@thegingabishouen Sorry, but I'll have to disagree there. As nice as P3 and P4 were, they didn't feel that real to me. The P2 characters felt more real and 3-dimensional to me than the P3 or P4 characters. The problems and personalities of Anna, Yukino, Lisa, and Tatsuya were more relatable than anyone in P3 or P4. There were still some parts of the story that were ridiculous and a bit of a turn-off (Master Persona, etc.) but in the end, I found it more interesting than the later games.
@thegingabishouen Persona 2 is also one of the few JRPGs that actually has a major choice-and-consequence system in regards to how the story progresses which I really liked. I'm gonna agree with you on Persona 1 though, compared to the later games, it feels very bare (even if it can be a nice dungeon-crawler).
@deathelixer - Persona 4 portable will be release for vita, not for psp... too bad.. i plan to get a vita soon... vita also has trophy support, so most probably P4P will have trophyset
Wait then WTF was persona 2: eternal punishment? I mean I have a persona 2 game for the PSX with the same female character so does this take place before that one or what? Please reply if anyone knows.
@falsepride22 Innocent Sin is the original story, Eternal Punishment is like the alternate reality of the first game.
From what I remember, in the ending of Eternal Punishment, it is revealed that Maya (the lead female character) died in Innocent Sin. The group made a deal with Philemon to create a new reality where Maya would live in exchange for their memories. But Tatsuya refused to forget, resulting to the story of Eternal Punishment.
This is an awesome game. Beleive it or not it was realeased in the states on the PSone though. It is a rare find. I'm glad to hear this is getting a re-release!
@shadowkitty777 A rare find but totally worth buying it if you find it, I am proud to say I own all of the Persona games(including all of the remakes.)
People say this game is dark but I'd have to disagree. The opening is very ominous and gives off almost a vibe of desperation and hopelessness but the actual game really isn't that bad which is a bit disappointing in a way. I think the new psp opening depicts the game more accurately. Compare this game to Shadow Hearts and it seems like a walk in the park. Still an amazing game none the less.
I looooove Shadow Hearts. But I think the themes and the overall feel of the plot of P2 is a lot darker than Shadow Hearts. Shadow Hearts has a darker feel and a grittiness to it's environments and characters although with it's overall character/monster design but I say in overall plot it's not as dark as the rest of the game leads it to be.
@idontknowyoumitch Haha, glad to meet another fan! I thought the plots of SH and SH: Covenant were extremely dark. I mean in the first one people are turning into demons all the time and "Roger Bacon" is trying to summon God down to Earth to destroy all of humanity and Covenant is about Sapientes Gladios trying to rule the world using dark magic and malice being released during WWI. From the New World's storyline got deep near the end and was too light hearted for its own good anyway.
@twaitsfan1 Sure is! The mother is Hariti, a demon in Buddhist lore who killed children in order to feed her hundreds of children but later became remorseful and became the protector of children and childbirth. The child she's holding is a child version of Narcissus who was a hunter in Greek mythology known for his beauty and ended up dying after falling in love with himself staring at his reflection in a pool of water.
I freaking LOVE that opening movie! It's so trippy and awesome, and the music is (like always =P ) totally unique and fantastic. I simply can't wait for this!
darn it ATLUS! u just gave me goosebumps! I cant wait for Fall. I originally hated creepy games because they tend to keep me awake at night ^^ ..but ATLUS just made it so darn AWESOOOME that i'd rather stay up late playing it!! Does that even make any sense?!? :))
Personally, I can't wait until this comes out! I've been waiting for this to game to come out officially in English for YEARS! I'm definitely gonna preorder this.
Atlus, why must you keep teasing me with all of these Persona releases? You know that we all want a Next Gen Persona yet we keep getting these portable games, i'm not complaining as I definitely will be playing it but come on. If I could only purchase one game and Duke Nukem Forever and a Persona game were coming out the same time, i'd get Persona, hands down and that's saying something.
the music for this series seems to be getting worse and worse, definitely gonna stick with the original soundtrack if the rest of the tracks follow suite with this opening
the music of this series just seems to be getting worse and worse... definitly gonna stick with the original soundtrack if the rest of the songs are like this
Catherine, Devil Survivor Overclocked, P2: Innocent Sin, and now Devil Survivor 2... all within the next year. Magnificent, Atlus, you are nothing short of magnificent.
@Prinnynation I'm talking about a simple download on PSN. The cost of blu ray production has nothing to do with it.
I didn't say the same hardware, I said the same developers. Especially with Remote Play in mind, and use the same download and system profile service, try and tell me that the hardware design of the PS3 and PSP don't have at least some similarities in design. It can't be too much to make a PSP download, make some tweaks, and have a PS3 download as well.
@VintageBalderdash What we are more likely to see is Sony to encode a PSP emulator for the PS3 and that is not likely as Sony wants to sell PSPs. There are simulatries for the dashboard for the PSP and the PS3 but the OS and Hardware are quite different. I also want to let you know the gameplay for Persona 1 is largly diffrant from Persona 2 which is worlds apart from Persona 3 and 4. The difrances are as vast as the diffrances from Nocturne to strange journey.
I'm really glad that Atlus is making these games available again, but why not put them on the PS3 as well? I have quite frankly better things to do than waste my money on a PSP. Especially the ones like Persona 1, that are already on PSN, it's the same hardware developers, and they both use the same exact online service. I would like a chance to play these games, and have thoroughly enjoyed Personas 3 and 4.
@raven839 There's a well known translated version of it that you can download for a psx emulator which I did quite awhile ago. I'm happy this is finally being offically released and can't wait to fork out 50 dollars for it on release day like I should of been doing over 10 years ago.
I can't wait to find out if there will be full voice acting to the main story like Persona 3 and P3P
I'm glad P3 did so well, it allowed for so many good things to happen I have high hopes =) Long live atlus<3
@rustyburger i had no idea there was a version you could download good to know :P but yeah i can't wait for September to come :) i'm very excited this is long over due
@Stupidpublishers Have you ever played a persona game, or any shin megami tensei game, before? One of their main selling points is that psychological "creepy" element.
I am assuming by OP you mean the poster of the video, if you meant the original poster of some comment, I apologize for posting an irrelevant comment.
4 persons didn beat the game and are raging the shit out of it.

Atlus, why must you keep teasing me with all of these Persona releases? You know that we all want a Next Gen Persona yet we keep getting these portable games, i'm not complaining as I definitely will be playing it but come on. If I could only purchase one game and Duke Nukem Forever and a Persona game were coming out the same time, i'd get Persona, hands down and that's saying something.

the music for this series seems to be getting worse and worse, definitely gonna stick with the original soundtrack if the rest of the tracks follow suite with this opening

@SaultheUDMOE The soundtrack is basically the same, just remastered. I'm pretty sure most of the songs stay the same.

@Prinnynation I'm talking about a simple download on PSN. The cost of blu ray production has nothing to do with it.
I didn't say the same hardware, I said the same developers. Especially with Remote Play in mind, and use the same download and system profile service, try and tell me that the hardware design of the PS3 and PSP don't have at least some similarities in design. It can't be too much to make a PSP download, make some tweaks, and have a PS3 download as well.

@VintageBalderdash What we are more likely to see is Sony to encode a PSP emulator for the PS3 and that is not likely as Sony wants to sell PSPs. There are simulatries for the dashboard for the PSP and the PS3 but the OS and Hardware are quite different. I also want to let you know the gameplay for Persona 1 is largly diffrant from Persona 2 which is worlds apart from Persona 3 and 4. The difrances are as vast as the diffrances from Nocturne to strange journey.

I'm really glad that Atlus is making these games available again, but why not put them on the PS3 as well? I have quite frankly better things to do than waste my money on a PSP. Especially the ones like Persona 1, that are already on PSN, it's the same hardware developers, and they both use the same exact online service. I would like a chance to play these games, and have thoroughly enjoyed Personas 3 and 4.

That opening seemed a little unfocused. Too many approaches for only a minute and a half. Not to unfairly criticize the game itself, mind.

I know it's a little early but, who do you think will voice each character?
tetification 9 months ago
Hell yeah. I know I'm not alone in asking for P2: Eternal Punishment and Persona 4 on PSP. If you make it, they will buy.

@raven839 There's a well known translated version of it that you can download for a psx emulator which I did quite awhile ago. I'm happy this is finally being offically released and can't wait to fork out 50 dollars for it on release day like I should of been doing over 10 years ago.
I can't wait to find out if there will be full voice acting to the main story like Persona 3 and P3P
I'm glad P3 did so well, it allowed for so many good things to happen I have high hopes =) Long live atlus<3

@Stupidpublishers Have you ever played a persona game, or any shin megami tensei game, before? One of their main selling points is that psychological "creepy" element.
I am assuming by OP you mean the poster of the video, if you meant the original poster of some comment, I apologize for posting an irrelevant comment.
