damn, i want a psp now. i thnk it looks good, but i thnk persona 3 & 4 were more stylish(& since u named the character & chose his personality, i felt more immersed in the storyline)
Could anybody translate for me those Japanese words in the beginning of the clip? From the start of the clip to the 40th sec, particularly -_-. I kinda need to know that
just like in the original the dungeons are in 1 person but some rooms change the prespective into the whole 2d thing. in the original walking around the city was moving a giant cursor around town in a 3d world.
I'm not liking the art style for the static portraits and the toon-shaded cg cutscenes. Hopefully the storyline/gameplay will have enough to keep me hooked--after having played the third and fourth entries in the franchise I'm more than willing to give this game a shot.
This game had a debut on the PS1 and was relatively obscure until recent years...
Having played that I can tell you one thing: Although I was but a tiny child playing the game, I remember a lot about it, and I loved it. having said that, I don't remember EXACT details, but I can tell you that there's plenty of neat stuff to deal with.
It's a game thats worth the time if you want to know the story. The only problem that might be is the graphics...
This game was here way before Persona3 and 4, buddy. This game MADE Persona3 and 4 what they are today. It's just a remake, but the original storyline and concepts are the same, just revamped for the PSP.
"Willing to give this game a shot" is like saying it doesn't seem to match up to 3 and 4, when not only it matches up, it probably runs them over. Honestly, Persona 4 is a joke. I like Persona3, but in the end it feels too much like a dating sim, which dissapointed me.
well it's not going to be the same battle system as to 3 and 4 for that since if you have played the ps1 version of persona (since this is a remake) then it's just the same.
it dosnt look like people are shooting themselves in the face =( thats the main reason i'd wanna play persona. i thought that was the most bad ass thing ever.
because this is a remake of the ps1 version persona, the snow queen quest is like some extra quest in the game. unfortunately, when that was released in the US, there wasn't that quest because it was only in Japan only. But since they make a remake of the game, they decided to give that quest to the US now
Its definately announced for the US in english for some time Q3 this year (so between august and november) but im not sure abouy anywhere else. Though im pretty sure the PSP is region free so if your outside the US you can import it.
It's an enhanced port more or less. Of course they're going to leave it first person. And I don't really see the big deal about it. That's how it originally was. And yeah P3 and P4 really spoiled us all but you cant be the originals. Not buying it for that reason alone is kinda sad.
the "old school" version that the US got was pretty crappy. They did a bad job localizing it to try to make it seem more american, and they changed one of the characters into a black guy to be more PC, but then made his dialogue stereotypical. This remake changes everything back to the way it was supposed to be.
I dont know what you where "expenciting" but persona is easily one of the best things to happen to gaming in the last decade or so. For me, Persona 3 goes as one of the greatest games ever. I know, graphicly it's terrible, but if you cant find that the art, characters, story and gameplay isn't near enough perfection. I dont know what is
This "Persona" is a remake of the first one for PSX, better graphics, different music and all that. It can't be compared with P3/P4, many new elements have never been on a Megaten before.
But it's very good and anyone who has played the new ones but not the oldies, should be willing to give this one a shot and see what's the fuzz about.
ok, not really first person view, but thats only for walking around in dungeons, I find it annoying myself, but ya can't blame them since this is a classic lol
And a prequel to Persona 2 that was only released in Japan, which, if they are remaking Persona, with all the stuff the left out from the first american one, then I think they might have Persona 2 remade as well
quiet brandenp101 stupid noob, im glad they didn't change the game play i played the first persona on psone i loved it, glad its still turn based whats up with people these days want it more action like or mmorpg like screw u people RPG means ROLE PLAYING GAME = meaning role of dice taking f'en turns holy crap!!! hate these games are called JRPG so gay <,< well can't wait i never got the real copy of this and they fixed the areas easier to naviate
That was eternal punishment. What they're thinking of is Innocent Sin.
IMO I'd like to actually see a remake of both but I'm the only one who liked Eternal Punishment better. (I see so many people who go ga-ga over Innocent Sin just cause of HItler...apparently hitler makes a good game)
And isn't he always portrayed as an antagonist whenever he appears? :P
But still we did miss out on a lot of stuff. It did leave a lot of plotholes even though I actually liked when I thought you had to figure it out in Eternal Punishment. (That and you do see Tatsuya's character in EP and Maya's in IS)
Foolishness. It's the same composer adding a song. This doesn't mean he's going to up and suddenly remove his old compositions in favor of the a clashing musical style. I mean, just look at the difference in art direction, and then look at how Shoji Meguro has adapted his music for all the different art styles throughout the history of MegaTen. Heck, this doesn't even clash with the game's main plot theme! Oh yee of little faith...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
if anything, they should have tried to redo the whole battle system to make it more like p3/p4. i loves those battle systems, probably one of the best in rpgs although final fantasy 13 may change that
Have you even played this game to know what the battle system is like? You might like it actualy requires some tactics. Sure its different from the PS2 games but why does everything have to be the same as those??
This isnt Persona 4 though. Dont you want to play the original persona how it was originaly? You might like it you know. I like persona's combat system more than Persona3 and 4
No, you pick the attack you want and whoyou want to hit it with. Pretty simple. You can also choose to attack with a gun or melee weapon. And of course you can choose to talk to the demons to get spell cards to make new persona's, get items or money or just tell the demons to buzz off. If anything you can do alot in battle than in P3 and P4.
It's because the west never got SMT1, and, thus, never got a taste of that insane battle system. This also leaves most western folk unable to make the connection between the old battle system and its evolutions. This is why people threw their copy of Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne out the window after hitting the first Fiend, and why subsequent games, starting with DDS:AT, were toned down in complexity (starting with gameplay).
SMT1 and Nocturne had compleatly different battle systems...I played SMT1 before Nocturne and it didnt help me much with the PS2 game. And Nocturne and DDS have the same battle system too. The press turn system
Press turn is just an evolution of the basic gameplay system. You're missing the basic system if you think it's that different in terms of preperation. In SMT1, what were the most important things to consider in regards to the battle system? Guns, Items, stat boost spells, and OHKO immunity. Can you see how it took off from there and why every game requires you to master those aspects first? Honestly, playing SMT1 before SMT3 saves a ton of time because you know what to look out for.
i wish people would stop complaining, since the game is going to be completely intact as what it was when the original came out
my first Persona was P3, and then i played P4 and i just recently played P1, and even though there is a huge difference between P3,4 and P1 they're all still great games
The black guy is Masao Inaba. He was originally Japanese in the JP version of Persona but in the US release he was made African American and was renamed Mark. Same goes for the main Character. In the US version he was completely remodeled and made with red hair while in Japan he has black hair.
Damn...I want this game, but I don't want to have to buy a PSP for it, and I don't want to have to put up with the supposedly atrocious playstation version...
If you are referring to the localization of the original PSX American release, it's not. Mark looks like Mark and not some stereotypical black kid (overemphasized and a little racist in the original American one). This is where it began and is one of my favorite games. Besides, PSP's rock. You can mod the hell out of the things. I have all sorts of emulators and ROMs including the original SMT games for SNES. I anticipate this release greatly.
I don't get it.. people staying away of this game because of graphics? this game was developed 13 years ago, by a (in that time) small company, so they hadn't the big marketing campaigns the others had... I liked the old intro song better, but I'm waiting for this game (sqq, here we go)
It seems like there's some new rift between fans of the "old" and "new" Persona games. Stop acting like a bunch of FF/Squeenix fans, please. The Persona series doesn't need it.
Yeah, cant it be ok to like both? I have P3 and P1 for my PS2, and though I prefer P3, I like P1 alot too. (I do think adding Social Links to it would be really awkward though, I highly doubt it'll happen)
I'm playing the P2s once I beat P1, and P4 once I finish the Answer for P3 (I already beat the journey)
Same here. P2 IS/EP and P4 are definately my two favorites of the series. I liked P3 enough to play it through a few times and get FES, but I just didn't really like the main characters as much as the ones from the other games I played. I've only played a bit of the original U.S. version of P1 so I can't really complain on it, but I'm still really excited for this version of it to see how much it was changed before.
I guess I cant really compare characters, as P1's characters are kinda bland and flat. I blame this on being an old rpg and the localization though. I know that in P4 you get complete control over the party members as an option, and that's something I cant wait for.
Wanna know the reason why? Because Squeenix fans jumped on the Atlus bandwagon when Persona 3 came out.
So, yeah... They are Squeenix fans, mostly. Only, unlike FFVII and FFX, they actually chose a pretty good game to jump onto a bandwagon with. Too bad they had to bring their graphical Nit-pickings along with them... -.-
Personally, I still play SMT 1 and 2 on SNES. So I don't mind what the graphics are like, I just want this in the US so I don't have to deal with R: Persona for PS1 anymore.
Now we got Revelations - Persona and (Hopefully) Persona Eternal Punishment & Innocent sin.
The PSP gonna get some great RPGs
I dont think thei're ruining a classic. For what i see, its almost the same that the old version. Better translation and some bonus it's all that i expect.
I love Persona 3 and 4 for what they are, but there's no reason to start turning all the old games (and even future installments) into the same thing. I'm really glad that Atlus is giving us a chance to experience this old classic on the PSP, in its original form no less (not that botched Americanized version on the Playstation) but I don't even want to see them turn it into a P3/P4 clone like what you're saying.
oh okay that's cool but there is no such games with a system for psp and its like persona 2 dungeon game play . anyways looking forward to the remake because i love the bgms
The games story doesnt even give you time too on dates. The city is over run by demons, people are dying, friends are in danger. Its not like P3 or P4 where you dungeon crawl in secret after school or at night. Also the random generated dungeons get annoying and are too easy. The dungeons in this game are dont change but they are BIG, MEAN, and will screw you over.
Why is everyone bashing this so suddenly? I think this is a great idea! I just recently became a Persona fan, but I never wanted to touch the first two games because I though they were too old and 'blah' looking. Atlus is trying to get us younger fans to truly get into the series more. WAY TO GO ATLUS!! XD
The bashing is because of the presentation. It has a P3 P4 type of feel too it and thats NOT what P1 is about at all. I expect there will be alot of dissapointed "persona fans" who are going to be expecting social links and easy duneons and only find a darker non stop/so breaks story and truly sinister dungeon designs.
it does NOT have a p3/p4 feeling to it... that's your paranoia speaking... maybe you should watch this video a few more times... even with the 3-D graphics/movie sequences it's still got that ye-olde megami tensei feeling of stiffness and darkness. really, have more faith in the company that makes your dearly beloved games. and may they not turn out like square enix
They're not "harming" a classic. Oh, look, they've made a new opening movie (possibly) and added a new song with it. How is that ruining a classic? I bet most of the stuff in the game is going to remain unchanged. Did you even see the gameplay in the trailer? I doubt that suddenly there's going to be social links and every single battle is going to have crazy J-Pop music.
Anime cut scenes...J-pop theme...WHAT THE HELL DID THEY DO TO POOR PERSONA!? It was an amazing dark down to earth game and they messed it all up with all that GARBAGE. They theme just pisses me off. Shoji should stick to making crap soundtracts for other new games instead of ruining good old ones. His J-pop is getting old FAST
i disagree. if you hadnt known they arent making it completely the same, theyre changing parts of the gameplay the storyline and other art so you cant exactly say hes ruining what changing almost completely
persona 2 is gonna be remaked on the psp cant wait for its release.

This isnt Persona 4 though. Dont you want to play the original persona how it was originaly? You might like it you know. I like persona's combat system more than Persona3 and 4

i heard the combat system is impossible to figure out
FenrirWeapon 2 years ago
No, you pick the attack you want and whoyou want to hit it with. Pretty simple. You can also choose to attack with a gun or melee weapon. And of course you can choose to talk to the demons to get spell cards to make new persona's, get items or money or just tell the demons to buzz off. If anything you can do alot in battle than in P3 and P4.

It's because the west never got SMT1, and, thus, never got a taste of that insane battle system. This also leaves most western folk unable to make the connection between the old battle system and its evolutions. This is why people threw their copy of Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne out the window after hitting the first Fiend, and why subsequent games, starting with DDS:AT, were toned down in complexity (starting with gameplay).
UltimaLuminaire 2 years ago
SMT1 and Nocturne had compleatly different battle systems...I played SMT1 before Nocturne and it didnt help me much with the PS2 game. And Nocturne and DDS have the same battle system too. The press turn system
gravijiga 2 years ago
Press turn is just an evolution of the basic gameplay system. You're missing the basic system if you think it's that different in terms of preperation. In SMT1, what were the most important things to consider in regards to the battle system? Guns, Items, stat boost spells, and OHKO immunity. Can you see how it took off from there and why every game requires you to master those aspects first? Honestly, playing SMT1 before SMT3 saves a ton of time because you know what to look out for.

i wish people would stop complaining, since the game is going to be completely intact as what it was when the original came out
my first Persona was P3, and then i played P4 and i just recently played P1, and even though there is a huge difference between P3,4 and P1 they're all still great games

The black guy is Masao Inaba. He was originally Japanese in the JP version of Persona but in the US release he was made African American and was renamed Mark. Same goes for the main Character. In the US version he was completely remodeled and made with red hair while in Japan he has black hair.

Zerrin 2 years ago
If you are referring to the localization of the original PSX American release, it's not. Mark looks like Mark and not some stereotypical black kid (overemphasized and a little racist in the original American one). This is where it began and is one of my favorite games. Besides, PSP's rock. You can mod the hell out of the things. I have all sorts of emulators and ROMs including the original SMT games for SNES. I anticipate this release greatly.

I don't get it.. people staying away of this game because of graphics? this game was developed 13 years ago, by a (in that time) small company, so they hadn't the big marketing campaigns the others had... I liked the old intro song better, but I'm waiting for this game (sqq, here we go)

It seems like there's some new rift between fans of the "old" and "new" Persona games. Stop acting like a bunch of FF/Squeenix fans, please. The Persona series doesn't need it.
Sepherest 2 years ago
Yeah, cant it be ok to like both? I have P3 and P1 for my PS2, and though I prefer P3, I like P1 alot too. (I do think adding Social Links to it would be really awkward though, I highly doubt it'll happen)
I'm playing the P2s once I beat P1, and P4 once I finish the Answer for P3 (I already beat the journey)
Barrylocke 2 years ago
Same here. P2 IS/EP and P4 are definately my two favorites of the series. I liked P3 enough to play it through a few times and get FES, but I just didn't really like the main characters as much as the ones from the other games I played. I've only played a bit of the original U.S. version of P1 so I can't really complain on it, but I'm still really excited for this version of it to see how much it was changed before.
Sepherest 2 years ago
I guess I cant really compare characters, as P1's characters are kinda bland and flat. I blame this on being an old rpg and the localization though. I know that in P4 you get complete control over the party members as an option, and that's something I cant wait for.

Wanna know the reason why? Because Squeenix fans jumped on the Atlus bandwagon when Persona 3 came out.
So, yeah... They are Squeenix fans, mostly. Only, unlike FFVII and FFX, they actually chose a pretty good game to jump onto a bandwagon with. Too bad they had to bring their graphical Nit-pickings along with them... -.-
Personally, I still play SMT 1 and 2 on SNES. So I don't mind what the graphics are like, I just want this in the US so I don't have to deal with R: Persona for PS1 anymore.

Now we got Revelations - Persona and (Hopefully) Persona Eternal Punishment & Innocent sin.
The PSP gonna get some great RPGs
I dont think thei're ruining a classic. For what i see, its almost the same that the old version. Better translation and some bonus it's all that i expect.

Please...no.
I love Persona 3 and 4 for what they are, but there's no reason to start turning all the old games (and even future installments) into the same thing. I'm really glad that Atlus is giving us a chance to experience this old classic on the PSP, in its original form no less (not that botched Americanized version on the Playstation) but I don't even want to see them turn it into a P3/P4 clone like what you're saying.

The games story doesnt even give you time too on dates. The city is over run by demons, people are dying, friends are in danger. Its not like P3 or P4 where you dungeon crawl in secret after school or at night. Also the random generated dungeons get annoying and are too easy. The dungeons in this game are dont change but they are BIG, MEAN, and will screw you over.

I´never palyed Persona or Persona 2 so i was thinking I´am a Big Fan of Persona and I was Thinking should I buy this one?? I mean

Why is everyone bashing this so suddenly? I think this is a great idea! I just recently became a Persona fan, but I never wanted to touch the first two games because I though they were too old and 'blah' looking. Atlus is trying to get us younger fans to truly get into the series more. WAY TO GO ATLUS!! XD

The bashing is because of the presentation. It has a P3 P4 type of feel too it and thats NOT what P1 is about at all. I expect there will be alot of dissapointed "persona fans" who are going to be expecting social links and easy duneons and only find a darker non stop/so breaks story and truly sinister dungeon designs.
gravijiga 2 years ago 3
it does NOT have a p3/p4 feeling to it... that's your paranoia speaking... maybe you should watch this video a few more times... even with the 3-D graphics/movie sequences it's still got that ye-olde megami tensei feeling of stiffness and darkness. really, have more faith in the company that makes your dearly beloved games. and may they not turn out like square enix

Are you kidding me? You realize this is Persona 1, the game that Atlus already ruined during it's last localization.
This is now an opportunity to un-ruin the game....
Zeik56 2 years ago
They're not "harming" a classic. Oh, look, they've made a new opening movie (possibly) and added a new song with it. How is that ruining a classic? I bet most of the stuff in the game is going to remain unchanged. Did you even see the gameplay in the trailer? I doubt that suddenly there's going to be social links and every single battle is going to have crazy J-Pop music.

Anime cut scenes...J-pop theme...WHAT THE HELL DID THEY DO TO POOR PERSONA!? It was an amazing dark down to earth game and they messed it all up with all that GARBAGE. They theme just pisses me off. Shoji should stick to making crap soundtracts for other new games instead of ruining good old ones. His J-pop is getting old FAST
