Let it begin.....

Persona PSP. Please, please, please make this happen Atlus. Definitely one of my all time favs. Give us the chance to play a non butchered and complete version in English. 2 copies day one. Throw us oldies a bone ;) .

[Manic Expressive]

Sorry Kaki but Atlus is going to be bringing over Persona 4 FES instead of this, they will be too busy. :very_sad:

I fully support this, and I really hope Atlus picks it up.

[Sseklebeast]

Yes ATLUS!

You know what to do...YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!

[cj iwakura]

Will Guido still use the Tim Burton's Batman reference? :P

At one point in Revelations, I swear, he said "Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?"

[jeffx]

As long as they update the battle engine with say, the P2 one. I can't see the scan very well but it looks as though they kept it as is. Or did you guys enjoy the grid-based combat? Who am I kidding, I'll buy three copies just to one-up you.

Additionally, I wouldn't mind seeing some P4 improvements making their way into this, such as square button navigation (time is money!).

April 30th 2009 it is. Keep us updated Kakizaki!

[DamnedToBeFree]

I'm all for this.

[FewtureMD]

persona anywhere i go? DAY ONE!!! Atlus PLEASE localize this.

[xHaseox]

Make it happen, Atlus, so I don't have to pay $300 for the PSOne version.

(Which I'll end up doing anyway because I'm a whore)

I'd have to agree, so I say seconded...Or third-ed or whatever.

Atlus, please port Persona 1 on PSP to the US.

Make it happen, Atlus, so I don't have to pay $300 for the PSOne version.

(Which I'll end up doing anyway because I'm a whore)

This also is seconded...I too don't want to have to pay that amount for a game...$80 for Nocturne and P4 was too much as it is....(for me)

They make it pretty clear it's a port, I'm excited I might be able to really have all the games now. Kaki didn't post the details:
Persona PSP
- 29th April
- Port of the PS1 original
- Revamped UI
- Anime cutscenes

[Hamel]

I would buy it if it won't get butcherd again

[unknown]

Holy ####

Do ####ing Want

So this is why the people who did the anime cutscenes for P4 had a meeting with Atlus JP some time ago.

Also give Sony the finger Atlus, and bring this game over.

[Iris]

Day one oh hell yeah.

[Kakizaki]

Or did you guys enjoy the grid-based combat?

I actually did enjoy the formations (not sure if that is what you meant by grid-based combat), but I wouldn't have a problem if it was modified to play like P2.

[jeffx]

I actually haven't played this game since maybe 2000, so yeah, I guess that's what I meant. I just remember the battles being a bit on the tedious side and then P2 made everything much better.

Don't get me wrong -- I'll take whatever we get. Not like we have much say in the matter!

[ShadowRaskolnik]

Looks good, I would buy this if Atlus brings it over. I never had a chance to play the first one.

[Kakizaki]

The battles are definitely on the slower side. I can totally understand someone getting a little frustrated with that. Part of it was due to the interface, so hopefully the update remedies that.

[hanseo]

bring it over please

[Dave3]

I would definitely purchase this title day one! Please Atlus? This game definitely deserves a proper translation and with the popularity of Persona these days it should be a sure seller.

I wouldn't mind much if the formations were taken out/altered. I like them and all but I'm generally using the same couple formations anyway.

[Kenji]

Retranslation, relocalization, reinclusion of the Snow Queen Quest and whatever other goodies Atlus JP sees fit to stuff into this one. I'll buy it day one and fill out my Persona collection!

Oh, and I hope at some point Masao makes a joke about the blackness of his soul. :P

[SickleCellAnemia]

Siliconera or the ESRB will leak this soon enough.

[Magnus]

Yes I hope so as well I played P1 and I hated it so much Then I played P2 and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, I later played a non butchered version of P1 and found it much more tolerable So Yes ATLUS non butchered please

[mythus]

if you want my money, get this localized! also bundle it with a jack frost plushie to accompany my Teddy and future-coming Raiho plushie.

[B.K.]

I hope they decide to localize this one. It would be nice to be able to get a copy of Persona without paying a ridiculous amount of money and getting a good localization this time.

[jj984jj]

Looks like it's cel-shaded CG cut-scenes.

Personaly I don't care if it comes with anything so long as we get a good translation this time without changing anything

[System_Error]

And every time I wonder where the world went wrong,
End up lying on my face going ringy dingy ding dong

And every time I wonder if the world is right,
End up in some disco dancin all night & day.


Uh, I mean bring this Atlus.

[maddy]

i am very interested!!

Much appreciated man. ;) Looks like the formations are still intact. I want this bad.

[jj984jj]

Finally, actual scans:

You can actually see what's new or not best now, looks like the game will be rebalanced with multiple difficulty levels and have more save points. The website (http://persona.atlusnet.jp) should open by the end of the week and will have a promo movie (I don't know if it'll be the typical teaser or not).

[Manic Expressive]

Damn I can't wait... that tree brings back memories.

[thinkfreemind]

This was a good game with some major localization issues. You can do it better now Atlus.

[Pibbman]

The question remains is if they'll finally do a true localization with no "americanizing" like they did the first one, or keep faithful to what people over here know of the first one and go that route?

frankly speaking, that puts Atlus in a somewhat odd position. One spot has them releasing the title unaltered to remain pure like it's japanese counterpart, so we can finally see what it SHOULD of been.

The other is, that not every fan of the original (here in the US) probably knows that the original was so heavily altered, so what would they think if they buy this title thinking it's like the "original", and it ends up being the ACTUAL original. If that made sense...

[Mathurin47]

I've had the PS1 game for a few years now though I never got to it. I would still love to see this update come over.

[erwos]

The question remains is if they'll finally do a true localization with no "americanizing" like they did the first one, or keep faithful to what people over here know of the first one and go that route?
Given the relative success of Persona 3 and Persona 4, which did almost the exact opposite of "Americanizing", I have high hopes of seeing a non-screwed-up localization.

What mag is this, does it come with a DVD. I'll pick it up and rip it tomorrow.

EDIT: I think I'll even pick this one fresh off the shelf.

[Evila]

I'd buy it. More PSP love is always cool.

[byrc]

If Atlus USA releases persona 1 psp, which they will because they're SMT whores (hey it makes them money I don't blame them, and its a good franchise even though they recycle demons waaaaay too much) there is no way they'll localize the game to Revelation (P1) levels of crapacity. Why would they? Atlus USA in 1996 is not the same Atlus USA in 2009.

Between Growlanser and Persona 1, Persona 1 is the most likely one to be published, heck it would be against ATLUS USA's nature not to release a SMT game.

[PFV]

When this comes here, I guarantee I'll buy two copies.

Personally I hope they release both, I've been itching for more SRPGs, it's just an insatiable itch.

I don't think they exactly recycle, there are only so many "demons". Sure they could make up their own, but part of the charm of SMT is that every demon they use is actually a part of culture in some way or form.

[Divals]

Want, day one, et cetera.

..though I really can't see Atlus USA *not* bringing this over. The SMT series is like Final Fantasy to Square or Disgaea to NIS, it's like printing money with all us rabid fans. :p

[VMan]

Man, seeing those shots brings back memories. I'll definitely be picking this up.

[Crabman]

I would SOOOOO ####ing buy a PSP for this. Right now I'm tetering on the edge. It would be really cool get to see what Nate and Ellen were up to during their heyday :D

[bodrock]

Ditto on all the above sentiments. :P

[thesycophant]

Atlus, if this comes to America, I will be preordering it the second it's available, along with a PSP. You can tell Sony that in at least one case, Persona is a system-seller.

[Zachalmighty]

I would day one this with no hesitation or concern for my financial situation.

[Kakizaki]

The question remains is if they'll finally do a true localization with no "americanizing" like they did the first one, or keep faithful to what people over here know of the first one and go that route?

Why do people still think this? Atlus basically attempted to scrub away some of their mistakes with the translation of MIP when they translated and released EP. EP's translation went a long way in erasing any continuity issues.

I'm pretty sure there will be no one that played the first who would be heartbroken if Persona were now to receive an accurate translation.

[Juanblue85]

Sweet hopefully it comes over and I'm happy that Kakizaki is liking the game so far with a few changes.

[Green Card]

Another day one purchase. Bring this and growlanser over here!

[Manic Expressive]

If Atlus announces both of these it will more than make up for some of the crap that has been hitting the shelves.

[slayn]

I am so happy to hear about this that I'm actually about to cry. Yes. I'm quite serious. This game had SO MANY elements in it that I think were much creepier and darker than the current Persona games and I really, really, really TRIED to like this game, but because of the design flaws and horrible translation, I just couldn't enjoy it. But now, I'm just so excited that there might a chance for me to finally play this game in a coherent state!! And I'm also excited that the Snow Queen Quest will be available for us to play!!!! YES!!!! Atlus USA, please, please, please, please, pretty please with sugar on top LOCALIZE THIS GAME!!!!

Not my words.

[Tatsuya]

Any doubts i'd had on buying that psp now have gone down the drain:D.

This is one game i'd be hitting the refresh button on firefox waiting to preorder,
PLEASE atlus, bring this over.

[BaizDaza]

Awesome! Please bring it over!

[Genome]

Looks like I'm getting a PSP. lol

[Olethros]

If Atlus announces both of these it will more than make up for some of the crap that has been hitting the shelves.

I agree with this.

Also, Damn it Atlus. Now I have to buy a friggin' PSP too? Will you not stop until I own every system currently active? :p

[unknown]

You should get Morgon Freeman to voice Philemon, Atlus.

http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x165/arcstuff/PhilemonMorganFreemen.jpg

I would buy 3 copies.

[raum215]

its a good franchise even though they recycle demons waaaaay too much)

I am attempting to deprive you of oxygen through the internet.

They are not recycled - they are CONTINUOUS in the same world of SMT:Persona.

and I BEG you to release this on PS2 in the US. or even just on PSN for dl to PS3.

[dorkatlarge]

Byrc said, "Atlus USA in 1996 is not the same Atlus USA in 2009." Indeed. If you look at TVTropes' entry for Persona 1, the people behind that entertainment wiki describe it as Atlus' old shame. They don't go as far as to compare it to Robotrek for SNES, or the first translation of FF Tactics, but their words about the Persona 1 translation aren't kind.

IMHO, the PSP has been quiet and sad since 2007. Noteworthy games, unique games, and even non-direct ports are few and far between.

No. I want a physical copy, and I have a hard time believing a game that includes a very healthy dose of sprite based graphics and wasn't NIS trash or from some other haphazard 3rd party publisher would be approved for PS2.

[marto_motoko]

Dear god, I want this worse than a fat kid wants cake! :O PLEASE ATLUS! Bring it over!

[Foryth]

Throw us oldies a bone ;) .

This. ;)

[CoarseDragon]

I too really want this game brought over. I for one really liked the negotiation aspect of the game. In fact I still have my original notes on what to say and do for each Persona in the game - Wow is that old or what.

[Sanctine]

Day one. But not as day one as Growlanser PSP.

[Aika]

This too.

Played the first so long ago...and have been wanting to replay it. I think given the success of the current games that many would understand having a truer version as opposed to one that was, well, butchered. I don't mean that in a rude way, though. :/

[Boss_Tuff]

Day one. But not as day one as Growlanser PSP.

I agree completely.

[Kain Mare]

Day One.

It would torture me the most if both happen to be on the same day. I wouldn't know which to play first.

[Eddie Van Helsing]

Sorry Kaki but Atlus is going to be bringing over Persona 4 FES instead of this, they will be too busy. :very_sad:

I fully support this, and I really hope Atlus picks it up.

I thought Atlus had said that they wouldn't be doing an expanded edition of Persona 4.

[Gunloc]

I support this suggestion.

Day one. But not as day one as Growlanser PSP.
Agreed. I want both very much though.

[Kakizaki]

[Ephesus]

I don't understand what happened in the years between when this game came out and was widely recognized as mediocre at best and today when it has somehow been elevated to classic status.

[Kakizaki]

According to 1up the game will have a new soundtrack from Shoji Meguro, who is also the director. The game will also feature new difficulty options (I hope the original difficulty will be left intact as well.) and the anime scenes are being done by Kamikaze Douga.

Hey Kaki it seems that while I was lurking over at NeoGAF most of them think that the game may not make it over. Please explain to me.

[Kakizaki]

^I guess I would need to know their reasoning behind believing that or just what they are saying. I'm not entirely optimistic it will make it over either, but I am really hoping....

If they believe so because it is a port, I think both the PSP versions of VP and SO2 kind of defeat that line of thinking now.

edit - Juan, you will have to help me out on this. The only thread I could find in regards to Persona PSP at NeoGaf really didn't have that many people claiming they believed this had a slim chance. Maybe I am missing something. Anyway, it is all just speculation at this point whether Atlus will or will not pick this up.

Like I've said before though, I hope that long time Persona and SMT fans are taken into consideration in regards to a possible localization.

Yes it does since I own VP and it is wonderful and will also be owning S01/02 soon. man I still wish Namco would release Tales of Rebirth/Destiny 2 over here.

[xHaseox]

Well, Valkyrie Profile and Star Ocean 2 are Square Enix. Would Sony really say no to them?

Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness was a port, but it had Etna mode and some extra characters like Adell and Rozalin.

[Juanblue85]

Sony said that if its a port they need to add new stuff to it or make changes and the Tales PSP had some changes but yet Namco won't release them heck we don't even have a Tales on DS yet and Japan has three now.

[Pibbman]

Well, Valkyrie Profile and Star Ocean 2 are Square Enix. Would Sony really say no to them?

Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness was a port, but it had Etna mode and some extra characters like Adell and Rozalin.

Wasn't a pure port though, because of the additions it was allowed. I find it kind of weird why Sony would say no, and thats only because Sony is gonna make money, not exactly lose here.

[xHaseox]

That's just Namco being Namco. And by being Namco I mean being stupid. I'll go nuts if they don't localize .hack//Link and Fragile.

Hopefully Sony will be more lax on the whole port thing, since there is really nothing coming to the PSP besides stuff from NISA and Square Enix.

All we can really do is speculate about this rumored 'port' rule. There was some extra content (very minimal) in the PSP port of BoF III (so in this sense it wasn't a pure port either), yet many people believe we didn't see it because of the whole port thing.

It seems silly to me as well if it is / was a real policy of Sony's, but I have heard of similar things.

They wouldn't since it didn't come to the PSN in Japan

It's not released in Japan yet.

They would have realesed it to the PSN and not the PSP if they wanted to do that

They dont HAVE to limit it to one or the other, they can release it on both.

I thought that Atlus mentioned that they wouldn't be releasing games on the PSN.

That would be a wonderful way of constraining possible income for Atlus.

[slayn]

^It's not. Atlus would make almost no money from PSN/VC/LA releases. This has been gone over repeatedly in several different threads.

[Muckamuck]

The question remains is if they'll finally do a true localization with no "americanizing" like they did the first one, or keep faithful to what people over here know of the first one and go that route?

frankly speaking, that puts Atlus in a somewhat odd position. One spot has them releasing the title unaltered to remain pure like it's japanese counterpart, so we can finally see what it SHOULD of been.

The other is, that not every fan of the original (here in the US) probably knows that the original was so heavily altered, so what would they think if they buy this title thinking it's like the "original", and it ends up being the ACTUAL original. If that made sense...
Yeah, I understand your concerns. There are a lot of options as to how to deal with localization.

Atlus USA would have a hell of a time trying to re-insert all of the edits into the PSP port though, since animation sequences and any 3D character models would also have to be edited. Or worse, those could be cut entirely, and that's never good for an "enhanced" port.

This also brings up a lot of continuity issues with P2 as well, and seaming those together looks to be difficult. Another option is to retcon the whole thing so that Atlus maintains integrity with the Japanese version, but that brings up problems with the audience.

[Kakizaki]

^Again, why do people feel that Atlus USA would even attempt to edit Persona PSP if they choose to localize it?

Did any of you play the U.S. EP? You can clearly notice how Atlus USA tried to rectify their mistakes from the first Persona -- spell names, character names, etc were changed. There wouldn't be these continuity problems that some of you seem to believe there would be.

It doesn't bring up problems with the audience.

You realize those are just cropped from the scans posted on here in both topics, right? And the scans have more pictures to boot.

Anyway, I think ceifadorx said it best. This is exactly like FFT PSP (or SO2 PSP), it uses the graphics of the PS1 version but there are a few changes/additions that have been made.

Edit: Here they are again--

I just can't even fathom the idea of us not getting this.

That'd be very stupid, since not only would psp owners gobble it up - they just crave games, since that system's pretty stagnant.

Also, it's PERSONA! The series has legions of persona-hungry otakus.

As for those screenshots, they really don't look that different than what i remember outside of the better quality cutscenes.

[cj iwakura]

1 does have an awesome cast, and the key difference is that it has a chance of getting an English release.

4 almost has no chance.

I agree. I'm nervous that the in game track will be messed with. :/

I loved the music of P1, and didn't care much for the musical style of P3. I really hope this trailer isn't indicative of the entire soundtrack.

That being said, the original eye catcher for MIP was bit odd. I just hope the little organ-like snippet from when the title first pops up is retained.

[Foryth]

Why do they have to put j-pop in every freakin' rpg nowadays? Ugh, it's bloody annoying.

[unknown]

As long as they don't mess with the Pharmacy Song and add vocals or rap to the battle themes, I'm good.

Also I hope this re-release of Persona will make fan artists do more Persona 1 art, there seriously is a lack of good Pre-P3 SMT artwork.

I agree, other than the pharmacy music I can't really remember any of the tracks, so I don't mind if they change them as long as it's not too P3ey. I am really impressed and satisfied with the changes, adjustable difficulty + improved story sequences, and dungeons, sign me right up. Hopefully they'll Dual Audio this like they have a couple of PSP releases.

Also happy about fixed encounter rates!

With the enhancements I don't see how Sony could say no, either.

So Day One'ing this.

[marto_motoko]

I want this badly, however, I'm not too crazy about the song.

The whole hip-hop-a-bop thing from the 3rd and 4th game was enough of that.

Honestly, I hope that's just the theme song, and that's all.


Other than that, looks great. I'm so excited for this, and will surely reserve it first day it's announced.

As you guys say,

"Day One".


:)

[Hamel]

I liked the song but that's me

Day one ATLUS make it happen!

[Darkined]

We all know atlus USA will localize it cus they wuv us all so much .... i hope.

Now to the subject at hand PREORDER BONUSES and INCLUDED SOUNDTRACK

Many of us love Persona and what better than to include a soundtrack like with Persona 4 and Preorder Bonuses like art books =D.

And if you really want to spoil us you could release a special collectors set including Persona PSP, Persona 3Fes, and Persona 4 in a nice lil box with complete soundtracks for all games but i meanthats only if you want to spoil us a wee bit. (Waves hand trying to do jedi mind trick :devil: )

I'm pretty sure that would have Atlus go bankrupt, unless you happen to be paying for these extras. :P I'd be fine with an artbook. Personally I favor artbooks over soundtracks. Once you play long RPGs like Persona games, near the end the music at times can get annoying.

[Juanblue85]

If I have a hard time playing the game I can ask Kaki for some tips since this Persona will be much different from the current ones.

[Auragaea]

That trailer is too bubbly for P1. P1 is supposed to be creepy and somber not peppy and bright...

[RayFoxSith]

I'd really like to play this, but only if they keep the game intact.

[Auragaea]

Just read jj984jj's post thoroughly and noticed that Meguro will only be rearranging the tracks, so let me just say "YAY!"

[cj iwakura]

Yeah, there's no way SCEA has grounds to turn this down. This is practically a remake with all the updates they're adding.

Only makes me more excited.


Bonus preorder: 'Persona: PS1 remix! Experience an alternate universe where the story takes place in the US! Atlus USA is not responsible for the content or variations on dialogue found in this game.'


Love the trailer.

[Kakizaki]

Once you play long RPGs like Persona games, near the end the music at times can get annoying.

I agree for the most part, but the first Persona's soundtrack was pretty varied.

[Juanblue85]

So Kaki how are you liking the news so far. Is the game meeting your expectations? well this is only just a small amount of info we know about the game but more will be revealed the closer it releases in April.

[Kakizaki]

^Overall I am pretty positive about it / happy with it. I know that some people don't seem to care for the style of the new cut scenes, but I really don't mind them at all. As long as the in game art and character designs are left intact, I'm cool.

I'm honestly surprised that at this point, it looks like so much has been retained from the original. I didn't expect to the see formations back. I am quite happy. ;)

The only thing that concerns me is the music, but I'm not overly worried about it for a handful of reasons.

[cj iwakura]

If the track playing on the official website is any indication, the music should be excellent. Meguro Metal is never a bad thing.

You know when I saw a bit of the battle gameplay during the trailer I saw the sprites looked more smooth and clean or is it that the characters are in 3D now?

[ceifadorx]

I also didint like the changing the music. I hope that at least they put good music.
About the graphic, look like the same as the psx version, and i liked the new cutscenes.
And i hope now, they dont cut off the snow quest.

- A beautiful 2D town map has been created for the game to bring it up to the standard of the rest of the series.
That is good news, the first time i played the game i was lost, "what heck is the damn hospital?" I needed to see a map in gamefaqs.

[cj iwakura]

I'm hoping that means a static world map like Persona 2's, because that would be wonderful.

[Kakizaki]

You know when I saw a bit of the battle gameplay during the trailer I saw the sprites looked more smooth and clean or is it that the characters are in 3D now?

No, they are still sprites. I've always maintained that the sprites in P1 were much crisper and cleaner than those found in IS and EP. I think they have aged better than people realize - plus I'm sure they will look even better on the PSP's screen.

I have to agree, it's kind of odd actually that the sprites look almost as crisp as a early sprite based ps2 game, truthfully the one thing you can definitely say is persona was far better than 2 was in the battle graphics and third person view segments.

[Kakizaki]

^No doubt.

I'm hoping that means a static world map like Persona 2's, because that would be wonderful.

I'm cool with this change too, but in all honesty, I never had a problem with the old map. Without spoiling anything, I am curious about certain map specific 'transition points' and how those could be affected both story and dungeon wise.

Most of the recent problems people seemed to be encountering with the map that I read about were often due to emulating the game and missing icons.

I do wonder if there will still be enemy encounters on the new map like there were on the old. It was a nice way to negotiate with demons from cleared dungeons. This was doubly important if you were trying to acquire the Glass Doll.

^That's true, but to me, those maps are already pretty similar. ;)

[TheMagicHat]

I've tried for so long to find and play a copy of P1 that wasn't scratched to all hell and unplayable. Even all hoopla over the Snow Queen thing didn't concern me as long as I could play the feakin' game. So news of a P1 PSP port is great in every way for me.

So yeah. BRING IT! Day 1! :D

[marto_motoko]

:( Y'know, while I love the P1 soundtrack, I've never actually had it.

Can someone tell me where I can get it (preferably for free), or buy it?

[Kenji]

It's kinda amusing to see people still worried that Atlus will somehow to a heel-face turn and just slap their old translation onto the PSP version, assuming it comes here (and hopefully it does). It's like people haven't been paying attention. :P

That said, one of my friends thought up this remedy:

"it'd be more interesting if they made everybody else black... except Masao."

To which I replied, "And Masao's still the only one who speaks Ebonics."

[Philemon]

I think support for this goes without saying ;)

Though I am a little sad about the change in music (the music for P1/2IS/2EP was awesome!) and the simplified/younger looking art style (I liked it edgy and older looking).

Other than that I'm super excited, especially to get a chance to play the SQQ and have original character names and art ;)

[cj iwakura]

Philemon himself endorses it. I wouldn't risk turning down one of the embodiments of balance if I were you, Atlus. :P

(Nyarlathotep would probably say not to, but screw him.)

[Sseklebeast]

Yeah Philemon is hardcore! :)

[Kakizaki]

[Though I am a little sad about the change in music (the music for P1/2IS/2EP was awesome!) and the simplified/younger looking art style (I liked it edgy and older looking).

The simplified art style seems to be prevalent solely in the cut scenes at this point. You can still see the old character art used in the dialog boxes.

[Kenji]

My guess is that the changes to the art style were just to make it easier to animate in CG. "Cleaner" is really the adjective I'd use to describe it.

[Dave3]

I gotta say, the new cut scenes do look great in motion. The still images of them from the scans don't do them justice. I'm really impressed by how this game is shaping up, even the new music tracks from the trailer and website are pretty impressive. I just hope the soundtrack isn't completely replaced with new stuff. At this point I'd be really surprised if this doesn't make it over here. I hope I'm not being over confident.

[Enzo_Kensei]

I also posted this one on the SMT section but I think I should post it here as well. Regarding the enhanced graphics system, as of the early trailer, I only saw the cel-shaded graphics being incorporated by the cut scenes. Is the in game graphics also enhanced or will it end up like its PS1 counterparts? I'm still not convinced about the pictures coz I can't see it much.

[Yazarc]

There are a few tracks on the OST I will be upset about them messing with too much. Other than that, I'm pretty open to changes in the game. I hope we get it!

[Emilio Morales]

Please Atlus! Please let us have this awesome game intact! I want to play the Snow Queen Quest (which I've never played :() and I don't want to see those ugly changes from the last localization. I woul definetely buy this one (just as with the other Megaten titles, I just can't miss one). We never saw Devil Summoner for PSP (which really sucks) so please at least let us have a Megaten PSP game, don't let us own the console and never get the chance to play a Megaten game on it. please!!!!!

[hibiki_takami]

I actually like the song and, if any of the super mods know what the name of the song is I'd like to know ;).

I think it's fitting because it's essentially bringing the game to a new generation of fans. There's something in the SMT series that's always been distinctly Japanese and it's what makes me appreciate it even more aside from the modern aesthetic.

If they left the game sounding like the 90s it'd be like that episode of South Park where they uncovered the Prehistoric Iceman and they have "Ace of Base" looping in the background.

Actually I like the art style in the cut scenes :D It's just the art itself that was released (and that I collect ;D) got toned down to match haha. Although Maki and Masao's art is decent, it's just the Hero's art that makes him look younger than he should lol.

Though I am happy they're still using the old art for all the bust art.

Still can't wait though!

[LordCha]

Ha ha,Persona and PSP ------ Perfect !!!!!!!!

[SomethingDifferent]

Eww, the trailer song is horrible. Hope they don't turn the game into a portable P3 sound-wise. Well, not completely, at least.
Also, please, PLEASE don't turn the map into that point-and-click crap of your later games, Atlus Japan. REALLY. I like freedom of movement in my overworlds, thank you.

Anyway, even if the walkable map is gone and the soundtrack sucks, I'm STILL more than willing to buy a localized version of this. Day one for sure.

[marto_motoko]

I thought the cutscenes looked very good. My only concern is them possibly not porting it for some reason or another.

[kolaces]

Localize this, Atlus. My psp could use some more games.

[peasantman]

Localize please Atlus! you've been on such an obscure-game-localizing-binge lately there is no reason not to localize Persona! Give us some PSP titles! the drought of titles! it's killing me!

[FruitPunch]

Be really nice if this got released in English. Then we can all play an un-butchered version.

Hopefully, if this proves successful, they will do re-makes of Innocent Sin & Eternal Punishment. Then finally, we can play BOTH games (in English, if they make it over)!

[elc88alec]

yo the song is pretty hot, i always liked those up-beat songs from persona but i also love the dark/rock themes but either way pretty sweet deal for me haha

Not to mention giving me a reason to not sell my PSP and all...

P1's music was weird, but great. It had alot of random background noises and stuff.

Actually a history/art book would be very cool, explaining the differences between Atlus as a company in 2009 (2010?) and 1996 and the changes in Persona: Revelations to Persona PSP. Have one section about the company itself, and a second section of the book Persona specific (which you could wrap in some way so that people don't accidentally read it before finishing the game).

It's been years since I've played this on the PSX, no brainer to pick this up day one with or without spoils.

[Salvy]

Hi I love persona been playing Innocent Sin in my psp for a while, I'm right now over 30hrs into that game : )

Tried Personas Revelations, but stopped when I heard that Innocent Sin was the actual start of the series.

Ill try to preorder it, so I can get the soundtrack I always like the soundtrack of all the persona's games.

My question is what's the name of the song in the official site of the upcoming persona for PSP? I love that song ^ ^

Thanks

http://persona.atlusnet.jp/story/index.html

The remixes don't seem so bad, and it seems the pre-order bonus for JP is the full 2-disk OST.

please Atlus bring persona to the psp it's THE LEGENDARY SRPG please bring it

What's THE LEGENDARY SRPG? This isn't a strategy game.

thanks for the links btw

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

Day one if I had a PSP!

[anbu]

all i can say is, dont forget to add (atlus) spoils~ artbook/plushies/soundtrack/everything - the works. lol.

[Kakizaki]

^I would be happy enough with just the game.

[Kenji]

:agree:

Minor tweaks are more than acceptable, but the main reason I'm excited is for the chance to play the original Persona.

That said... Atlus Spoils are nice... but let's worry about that after we get localization confirmation.

I could really care less about spoils.
My NISAmerica Mana Khemia soundtrack is unsealed from release, lawl.

[Tatsuya]

^I would be happy enough with just the game.

Same here, the only thing i'd care much about with spoils anyway is a soundtrack, and even that would only stop me from importing it if i really liked the soundtrack, so the game is plenty for me.

[cj iwakura]

Judging from the music I've heard, I would LOVE to get an OST.


But if the game comes out here, that's more than enough.

Then again, an OST would boost sales. Just print in big huge letters "music by Shoji Meguro [Persona 4]".

[Enzo_Kensei]

^ No doubt about it. Shoji's popular nowadays. Thanks to his genuine compositions of Persona 3/FES and Persona 4 musics.

Sorry Kaki but Atlus is going to be bringing over Persona 4 FES instead of this, they will be too busy. :very_sad:

I fully support this, and I really hope Atlus picks it up.

no atlus announced that there will be no more p4 version it was the only one

You do realize they were joking, right?

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

if they were joking why would they announce it infron of people in an interview

[System_Error]

if they were joking why would they announce it infron of people in an interview

Manic Expressive was joking, not Atlus.

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

ya know something about the persona for the psp i think atlus won't be bringing it in english cuz there was a SMT devil summoner game for the psp back in 2005 when the psp was very famous and it wasn't locolized so i'm afraid it'll be the same for persona

[Kakizaki]

^One of the reasons it wasn't localized was due to technical problems. It has been talked about a lot around here over the last month and a half. Persona PSP won't have the same problem.

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

hope so

[Kosaki]

man i would totally buy this especially since i didnt get to try the ice queen quest on the original ps1

[MwarriorHiei]

when i saw this, i thought to myself, "Definitely a preorder."

and then i saw shoji meguro and thought, "****! Day one!"

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

what's day one btw?

[SickleCellAnemia]

what's day one btw?

It means you'll buy the game the day it's released.

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

then it's day one for persona i guess (if it's announced in english)
