Persona 4 PSP

[Archie55]

IF THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN WRITEN SOMEWHERE, TELL ME NOW.
Ok, I really want Persona 4 on PSP. And it seems likely. Seeing as how the first and third ones are being/were ported to PSP, I think that we may see P4P as well. And hopefully, P2P as well. Who's with me?

[System_Error]

No. Just no. P2P fine, but ONLY if it includes Innocent Sin.

[Pash]

I guess it wouldn't surprise me, but I would rather have a new Persona game then another remake (i would accept a P2 remake as i have not played that game...). That and im playing P4 right now as don't really feel like buying another copy of the same game. maybe if they added a bunch, but they already said no extra chapter for P4 like P3FES...

[Oceanborn]

I don't really see a need for that. P2P would be great and I will buy P3P for the manual party controls, but I definately wouldn't buy P4P just for some changed social links and different gender unless it greatly expanded on the story (never really was satisfied with P4's story anyway) and if they put that much work into something like that I'd rather have them put that work into Persona 5, another main series title or even some new SMT spin-off game.

[Sleuth]

I don't think it'd be wise to make P4P. Most SMT fans have P4 at this point, and as aforementioned, we've been told there's no new chapter coming for it. And most fans really want to see a P2 port, mostly us North Americans as we never got a translated version of Innocent Sin. So I say, make P2P, then begin working on P5. That's the best course of action Atlus can do at this point.

[unknown]

There will be one, but maybe for the PSP2 or in a few years.

[Mellusia]

I'm not really interested in the idea of a P4P. I admit that P3P has definitely excited me and I will be getting it day 1, but I was looking forward more to a P2 remake on the PSP more since I haven't played P2 yet. So I rather see P2 remake on PSP before P4P (actually, rather see a P5 after P2 remake to be honest).

[Chronoshale]

I wouldn't doubt the future existence of a P4P, but it probably wouldn't be for a couple years.

I would prefer a P4P over a P2P, but harr. That's just me. >>;

[Archie55]

Okay... I want it because A) the SMT franchise is the only RPG series I really care about (yes, I turned down final fantasy at a young age) and B) I haven't played it before. I think that if Atlus did do another female protagonist, they should switch more things up. I've heard that not a lot of changes have been made to P3Ps new protag. Not that I mind. I don't have a PS2, so the persona ports are supported by this guy.

[Eldorado112]

i just played this game for like the third time last month so as of right now i dont want it. after persona 2 then yeah ill probably have forgotten about this game and want to play it again but theyre going to have to pimp it out like they did with p3p. Maybe not use the same thing and make a girl mc but it would have to be something fresh so it all depends on how they redo it to make it new. p3p had my buy i already preordered so yeah.

[Juanblue85]

I say a big fat NO I want P2P before they even think about making P4P.

[RavenBlack]

I'd buy P4P (especially if it offered a female MC and Yosuke as a dating option), but I definitely would like P2P first. I own Eternal Punishment, but an updated version including Innocent Sin would be awesome.

[AlphaAeon]

I would buy P4P before I even get P3P Lawls, I very much liked the battle system... much better than 3, also it isn't as dark as 3 I like the characters not being too emo...

I love Chie and Yukiko ;] they are my favorite characters!(And no one gets shot)

[Raptorg]

P3P has the P4 battle system.


And I probably wouldn't bother with P4P.. It'd be good, but it'd be worse than its PS2 counterpart..
The only reason P3P would beat P3(FES) would be solely because it has P4's battle system improvements, in most of the other things, it's inferior. P4P would be a flat out downgrade from P4 I'm sure..

[Lelouch31]

I would much rather get a P2P with both Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment whether as separate UMD or on the same UMD. I would also prefer to get a Soul Hacker PSP as well over a P4P.

[illogicaldreamr]

I'd prefer P2P, but if they did release a version of P4 for the PSP, atleast I'd get a chance to finally play it. I don't have time to sit down with my PS2 and play it. It makes me sad.

[Quig]

I would by P2P over P3P and P4P anyday. The sad thing is that no matter how many times we have talked about it or begged for it, it has not happened yet. Hell, I haven't even heard rumors about Atlus Japan working on a P2P, but I guess that should be expected since they got them and we don't.

[Saburo Hikari]

Even though I'll probably never even play an hour of P2P if it ever comes out, I would still like it to come out first (as well as P5) so that other fans can play something they have never been able to play before. P4P should be a side-project after the development of P5 is done.

But even if P4P was announced now, I'd still get it day one just for a female protagonist and a portable version of one of my favorite games of all time. ;)

[Yukichin]

Er... didn't Atlus state they wouldn't make a P4P? I'd love to have one because I love the characters (I didn't care for any of the characters in 3, except maybe some social links), though.

[Archie55]

I think you might be thinking of them saying "There will only be one version of Persona 4". I'm not sure if they consider a port a version... Hmm...

[Yukichin]

http://lhyeung.net/lang/en-uk/2010/04/02/atlus-katsura-hashino-says-no-persona-4-portable/

I can't find anywhere else that has it stated (and I KNOW I found it multiple places before), but unless they can add a bunch of new content, it won't happen.

[Darkecho]

I'd much rather have P2P, especially since what I played of P3P ("imported" it) wasn't too impressive in terms of a port. Certainly not bad, but so much of it being based more around simply selecting a location instead of actually going there kind of took away from the charm.

[Archie55]

http://lhyeung.net/lang/en-uk/2010/04/02/atlus-katsura-hashino-says-no-persona-4-portable/

Yeah, I've heard it before, too. But the thing is, I don't think Atlus JP will just stop after P3P. I'm pretty sure that we haven't seen the end of portable persona, but the question is: It this were to happen, would it be worth the time to make it? For instance, P3P had gotten a change made to it because a lot of people have already played it. The original kinda flew under the radar, I believe. I'm not to sure about that last statment, but I'm pretty sure that the persona series really got noticed from 3 on. And 1 and 2 wouldn't need a lot of changes, because people aren't too familar with them. Right? Someone tell me I'm right!

[elf_boobs]

No, Please. I understand how successful P3 was, and returning to that game with the significant improvements P4 made is fine, but I would love to see Atlus move forward, or at least give us something that hasn't been available to us before, ala P2.

[Silverevilchao]

Didn't Atlus say right before the English Persona 4 release that there will be "no Persona 4 FES" and that there will only be one Persona 4 game?

Personally, I don't see how they can improve on the original more. Persona 4 is extremely fleshed-out as is.

Uhh... Couldn't the same thing be said about FES? And for the record, I would prefer P2P first, even though I started this. Why? Well, Persona 2 has a very intersting story and characters. And... It's also the first time I really saw an SMT game.

[Foobar]

Saying you have no plans to make another version of Persona 4 does not mean there will not be another version.

Additionally, my concern for a P2P update/remake at this point is that is going to feel as painfully dated as Persona PSP did. I mean, they didn't do anything wrong by making it a straight-up remake of the Japanese version of Persona for the japanese playstation, I commend them for it.

But to put it plainly, its like trying to go back and enjoy Metroid II after you've played Super Metroid or Metroid Prime. Some games can be timeless and some are doomed to feeling rater antiquated or not aging well.

There's no question that P2 is the better game compared to Persona, but I think if they go for it, they need to bring it a bit more up-to-date with present day RPGs - not saying they should change the challenge or the content, but perhaps modernize the interface and negotiation systems, how EXP is distributed all while eliminating things that made Persona PSP feel like an antique.

Things like elliminating player levels and persona summoning skill levels. Sorry, but keeping that was a bonehead play. Not because players are familar with the way current SMT games do it so much as it was an unnessary, extra skill to grind.

-------------------

The thing about doing a P4P is that while it would seem too soon, there are also a lot of direct connections made to Persona 4 made in P3P now, which begs for a P4P to be made.

And yet, at these same time, now that P3P has all the nice things that made P4 a better gameplay experience, a Persona 4 Portable game would have a lot more to prove and need additional content to keep fans interested and engaged.

I'm torn, because I feel that P4 deserves a second chance. It was a better game than P3, but didn't get as much of a chance to shine since people had finally moved on to newer consoles.

And now PSP has slipped behind iPhone for games and that has happened during a year that might argueably be PSP's best in terms of high-profile releases. Maybe it should wait for PSP2 or explore a new market with 3DS.

I mean, its hard to say PSP ever has a good year, but if there ever was a year, it would be 2010. Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, Persona 3 Portable, Fat Princess, ModNation Racers, Kingdom Hearts:BBS, Valkryia Chronicles 2, Hexyz Force and then another new Monster Hunter along with Phantasy Star Portable 2.

Its great PSP year, but even that's beasted by a handful of DS releases.

So it might not be a good time for P2P, P4P or even a P5 on PSP if that was being considered. With 3DS coming sooner than we might think and a new iteration of iPhone, I just don't think this is the time to put such games forward on PSP.

Hell, if Atlus comes forward and announces them anyway, I'm happy with that, but I'd like to see them get a fresh start on an updated platform.

I have to really say to this a big ol Stone Cold Steve Austin "HELL YEAH".

Thats pretty much my take. I suspect thats also why it hasn't risen from the grave anytime recently. By putting out persona to psp it sets up the universe and style/philosophy. It is a great game, dated, but still solid enough gamers now could appreciatre it. Then dropping p3p means the changes and newer ruleset/graphics suddenly POP even more. I can see why they might have reasoned it like they did. So then stepping BACK to p2p and dropping those 2 games makes them fell even MORE dated. It's the BBD(bigger better deal) sort of mentality. Or one upmanship. Once you one up it's predacessor, there is only one direction you can keep going.. UP.

This means releasing p2p would mean kicking it into the next generation, in almost every way. and THAT is a lot of development, and would possibly incite a mass ocean of kermit flailing by die-hard fans of the original games as it has been "butchered, mutated, shoeshorned, and molested" into something it shouldn't be. lol.

The only way I could see them releasing it now is either as a staff member's pet project that ends up fairly well re-built, or licensed out to be dev'd by one of their outside teams/partners. Neither are really likely.

And I don't say that because I am against it, I like the games and it'd be kool to see them get a bit more attention, but i just dont' see that as a possibility at this point.

Meanwhile p4p is also.. iffy. It could totally be done, though considering the juggling act they had to do with p3p I am wondering if they are going to give it a fair amount of time before trying to tackle a port of p4 to the psp. If you look at p3fes the core bulk of data(so not including data required to run on the ps2) is over 3 gig. the UMD's hold at most 1.8 gig if they're double layered. I haven't looked to see if p4 was actually even tighter on the dvd for the ps2, but I suspect replicating the same task on p4 would be just as nightmarish. yes they have a good sense of where to cut corners, but still, there is a fair deal of work to re-code the game to make it work. And if they were to try and take a step back and not make the MC possibly be male or female, it would get a lot of hemmin and hawing. Yet if they included it.. that too is a TON of stuff that would need to be addressed. How do you rework all the different dialogue/scenes to make sense with a female MC AND still cut down a huge game to 1.8 gig?

Lots of work.. lots of compromise.. I understand why so many things were changed in p3, considering all that.

I suspect they'll do p4 but it will be quite a while after p3p has been out in both US and Asian markets. Once it has had it's time to shine(and profit) they can consider if the work is worth it for p4p.

[trikz84]

they should put persona 4 on psp just for convienience sake or if not they need to hurry with p5.

[Archie55]

And also, I read the article someone else posted, and the person being interviewed said that he would like to make a bigger connection to Persona 3 in it. So here's what I would do: Put the male protag on one UMD, and give him two stories: The investigation story, and one with the Persona 3 characters. Then, one UMD two, put the MShe with the investigation story, and HER OWN story involving the Persona 3 characters. That way, we get something new from the game, and people who haven't played Persona 4 get to, and there's TWO new stories.

how many 2 umd games are there? I've never heard of thatbeing done, I would assume due to cost of manufacturing.. But I haven't really researched it...

[Karkarov]

I have never heard of a game requiring 2 UMD's. Most PSP games don't even take up 1 gig of memory. I think asking for a totally new story, minor changes and additions to the original, and adding a female protagonist for both is just plain wishful thinking.

I would rather they put the psp aside entirely and finally move into the current gen with a focus on P5.

[Archie55]

There are a few two UMD games in Japan. And yes, it's wishful thinking, but a guy can still dream, can't he?

[Kishou]

I never did like P3's PSP release. It basically took all the updated game mechanics from P4 and made it is own, with more stuff such as a playable female.

I don't see what they could do here that would top P3P in all honesty. It might end up badly like other ports, like Mana Khemia. It was great on the PS2, but in the PSP, it had some gameplay faults, like long loading times between screen changes.

Of course, anyone who never played it before and wants another chance might say different. Persona 3 FES was the first Persona (hell, Shin Megami Tensei) game I ever played. Although I didn't get into it as much as P4, and not just because of gameplay factors.

[ShadowflareXIII]

If they made P4 PSP, I'd buy it!

[YinYang1st]

I really hope they do make a port to the PSP just in case I never finish it on the PS2, and it would be cool to be able to play as a FeMC in Persona 4.

[taranissnark]

I could've sworn awhile back someone posted an interview with someone at atlus who said they had neither the interest or plan to do this at this time. So I highly doubt it's happening.

[sabaku_lotus]

*has play Ps1 before Ps2 because ps2 at the time was hard to find*

I happen to agree except if they do put P4P put:

The gay option
Female Mc

then I would buy it

*runs off*

Lqtm, I agree with that statement.

[DrJonAngus]

P2P all the way. I've already played and beaten Persona 4, so I now want to go back to earlier in the series. I keep seeing videos for Persona 2 and would just prefer to see Atlus focus their efforts on that instead of an unnecessary port of Persona 4. I'm not poo-pooing P4P by any means, it's just P3P just came out and people are still asking for another port already.

Personally, I'm not asking for it immediately, I'm still working on P3P. I'd just like to have P4P eventually.

[LuluKoizumi]

I actually think a p4p wouldn't be all that bad i mean i've been playing P3P so far and since i never played P3 it's great for me to play. I've beaten P4 loads of times and i never get tired of it at all. I like playing the game and if they make a P4P I'd love it.

My thing is, I really liked playing Persona 4 at home on the PS2 because I could relax and enjoy it on a nice sized screen without having to worry about battery life, etc. The portable aspect of P4P would be cool I guess because I play a lot of portable games before sleep, but I would so much rather have Atlus focus on a Persona 2 re-release because it is very unavailable to most people and Innocent Sin has never seen an official English release. I mean I'm not even strictly opposed to SMT games coming to any system, but I just don't see the need personally. Unless you own a PSP and not a PS2, I can see why you would want P4P made.

Enough of this long winded post, Persona 3 and 4 are some of the best RPG experiences, yada yada.

[53+4souji]

I'm with you!!
We want P4 in PSP! Very pweeeeeease, Atlus!

[53+4souji]

I wouldn't doubt the future existence of a P4P, but it probably wouldn't be for a couple years.

I would prefer a P4P over a P2P, but harr. That's just me. >>;
I'm agree! I just too love with the story of P4!
and the relation between them!

[53+4souji]

Okay... I want it because A) the SMT franchise is the only RPG series I really care about (yes, I turned down final fantasy at a young age) and B) I haven't played it before. I think that if Atlus did do another female protagonist, they should switch more things up. I've heard that not a lot of changes have been made to P3Ps new protag. Not that I mind. I don't have a PS2, so the persona ports are supported by this guy.

That's it! Me too who studied abroad, leaving my ps2 in home!:very_sad:

[53+4souji]

I would buy P4P before I even get P3P Lawls, I very much liked the battle system... much better than 3, also it isn't as dark as 3 I like the characters not being too emo...

I love Chie and Yukiko ;] they are my favorite characters!(And no one gets shot)
Yeah, i love all of the characters in P4. So port it to PSP, Atlus!

[53+4souji]

Even though I'll probably never even play an hour of P2P if it ever comes out, I would still like it to come out first (as well as P5) so that other fans can play something they have never been able to play before. P4P should be a side-project after the development of P5 is done.

But even if P4P was announced now, I'd still get it day one just for a female protagonist and a portable version of one of my favorite games of all time. ;)

That's what i thinking too now. Even, they had no new Female prota, i would really glad to replay it. But, 'course i hope for the improvement in the future..:)

[53+4souji]

So, why not improves it with some original aspects?
Say, P3P adapted P4 fighting style. But, Atlus can adds somethings later. Like costumes mode maybe?
Well, duh it's just some of my crazy thinking....forget it.
But hey, there are many possibilities for P4 later i suppose. Because, it is once more attracted than P3 (for me)
Sadly it was released in the late age of PS2...:very_sad::very_sad::very_sad:
Well, i am gonna keep hoping to be ported to PSP! Who with me?

Dude, you need to cool it. Say what you need to say in one post, and if you find that you didn't, we do have a handy little edit button on each and every post. Even though you're using a new post to respond to each person individually, what you're really doing is responding to yourself 5 times in a row.

Just so you know that i really love P4, sir Mr. Admin ^^V

[PersonaTheKid]

i would love that, dont get why others complain ¬_¬

[BuncyTheFrog]

*ahem* the thread is two months old, but this is what comes up in the Atlus forums when I do a search for persona 4 portable, so here is where I'll comment.

We're now to the point where if someone wants to play Persona 4, they need to start backtracking through consoles. I have a PS3 and a PSP, and I would buy a version of P4 that worked for either of those consoles right away. I don't, however, want to have to buy a PS2 JUST to play one game. Right now, my only options are emulation (bleh), or watching the Persona 4 Endurance run. While the Endurance run is certainly amusing at times, I'd much rather actually play the game.

Of course, the "I can't play it on this gen, re-release it" argument is kinda silly to use in general, but I think that Persona 4 deserves it.

Regardless, if the port isn't looking like it has good prospects, so be it... It's just a big wish-list item for me.

[HanFD3S]

yeah P4P would be great.

[Aeroxe]

P4P would be great...but really P5 would be time better spent.

[Collegesurfer212]

yea I have a strong feeling there will be a P4P especially since P2P is being made and I hope America gets both of them lol

[ChaosHearts]

Honestly, as successful as P3P was, I really don't think it did enough in the female's storyline - not that I don't enjoy or prefer it, because I do, but seriously. But think about it - Atlus really took the lazy road on that one as far as an "alternate" story. They could have rewritten a few things, maybe changed up the SEES party members, or done more with social links. Not to mention the issues with Shinjiro P3P brought up.

The big issue to keep in mind, one that Atlus really didn't, is that you don't WANT it to be the exact game twice - which, really, P3P kind of was. It didn't have to be, but it was.

But look at P4. With a female protagonist, the Izanagi/nami plot could (and really should) be completely reversed or rewritten, unless the female protagonist simply gets a different Persona altogether. Furthermore, female or male, there's no reason whatsoever that a second main character has to be relatives of the Dojimas - give him/her new relatives! Have him/her stay at the Amagi Inn for a year! What's more, he/she could be in a different class than the first protagonist was, meaning instead of meeting Yosuke, Chie, and Yukiko, he'd meet different people entirely.

And heck, that's just the beginning. I could really go on and on about all the things you could change to P4 to make it different for a second protagonist while still keeping the setting, overall plot, themes, and story all in-tact.

Honestly, you could even change the killer in the alternate route and REALLY blow people away; or even make Adachi end up a victim partway through and into a party member... OR have it be an "adult" route, starring Dojima (ala Maya in P2), and you could have the option to "save" Adachi before it's too late -- or maybe, depending on your options, he could end up not to be the killer.

So yeah, I definitely think, if they give it the proper attention it deserves, P4P could definitely be worth it. ... BUT, on that note, with P2PIS on the way, it might be better to wait for P2PEP once P2PIS comes out, and P5 after Catherine is out everywhere.

But after that? And maybe when the PSP2 is out? Like someone above already mentioned, you ALREADY have to go backwards to play P4 if you're only up to date on consoles. And besides, the 3DS is already supposedly slated for a Persona game, so who knows?

tl;dr: Done right, P4P would be amazing, and just because P3P didn't live up to all the potential it had doesn't mean P4P shouldn't exist. Heck, quite honestly, I'd still like a P4P just so I could play it on the go, second story and extras be damned.

[Saburo Hikari]

I think replacing the current characters with new ones for the female protagonist's route would be a little too drastic. I would want her to interact with and even date my favorite Persona 4 characters after all! :D

Otherwise, I agree that changing the female protagonist's story a little would be great and give people more incentive to get the game, even if they already played the original PS2 game. The only issue would be if they can fit all of that in one UMD. I think Persona 3 Portable barely fit in one, and that game had less content that Persona 4.

[Lauro]

I think we should wait till there's better portable consoles before porting P4. It's my favourite game and all, I still play it sometimes, and I would be happy for a portable version. BUT the PSP is a little weak for P4, and who knows, maybe Sony will make a PSP2 or something. maybe it will be for the 3DS. but all I want is a P5, seriously.

[ChaosHearts]

I think replacing the current characters with new ones for the female protagonist's route would be a little too drastic. I would want her to interact with and even date my favorite Persona 4 characters after all! :D

Eh. Again, that would basically just be switching the gender around and keeping the game otherwise the same, which is really just lazy. And who says the second protagonist would even BE female? We could have an underclassman that grew up/was born in Inaba or something - we could have a LOT of things, really.

Having a female with the exact same story and party isn't really worth it. Sure, 3's female protagonist was great because we got to see a lot of the party's personalities and she bonded with them in ways the male protagonist couldn't, but... unlike P3's protagonist, P4's DOES get to be with everyone, date or otherwise.

Honestly? I think keeping everything exactly the same SOLELY to date people, when ultimately those relationships mean NOTHING is just... ridiculously shallow. We have stuff like fanfiction for that.

On that note though, having relationships actually mean something would be nice, but that's something P5 would probably need to work on. As they are now, when you get down to the nitty gritty, they're just glorified cutscenes to waste your time on to make your fusion bonuses higher while you wait for plot to happen. As long as you don't hit something to royally tick off someone, you could hit "X" through all of them and still get what you need out of it without reading anything, for all the good they do to the game outside of the social links.

Though, for the record, I'm not saying P4's original cast SHOULDN'T appear - I'm just saying, ideally, it would be changed up enough so that it makes it feel really new.

[Iris]

P3 was originally designed to have that choice of protag from the beginning, though, and it was just scrapped during development and added back later.

P4 had the one protag from the beginning, so if we were to see a P4P, I have my doubts about whether they'd go back and add something like that.

[ChaosHearts]

That's all true - however, some (if not many) potential players A: are likely not to know any of that and B: will want, if not NEED, extra incentive to get the game again. At this point, after P3P (and who knows, maybe P5 will have it not only planned, but actually implemented right away) it might just be expected.

Plus, that just means there's all the more potential to do something different with P4 instead of the same stuff in both routes P3P did.

Me one! I would like persona4 to port in PSP

[Zacewing]

I'd buy P4P. If only to have it on the go.

And while they're at it, give me DDS1 and 2 on PSP, too.

[Lup]

It would be great to have P4 on PSP, is my favorite Persona game, it would be SO cool.
A friend of mine bought a PSP recently, so... P4P!

[Raptorg]

Only if the porting and redesigning is done by a separate team, right now P5 is a much much higher priority than a PS2 -> PSP port of P4, regardless of how great P4 was.

I wouldn't mind it either, I replayed all the SMT games. I do wonder why ATLUS decided to make 3 on psp.

[KrossWinter]

A P4P following in the wake of P3P would definately garner attention and can be seen as trying to expand to newer audiences. I think it would be a great decision. P2P would also give fans who never got the opprotunity to play EP or IS the chance to. If redesigned similar to how P3P was, I'm sure it would be a hit.

However, I agree in that finishing P5 and localizing Catherine take priority over porting P4 or anything. I have been hearing things about Innocent Sin being put on the PSP, so we may have something coming to us.

With the PSP2 rumored to be announced Jan. 27, I think it's possible we'll see it on there, Katsura Hashino previously stated:

"However, in answer to fans hoping for a Persona 4 Portable, he comments that they will not be producing it unless they can find some method of including certain content that they couldn’t when they developed P3P. Maybe he means the realtime 3D cutscenes that were in the original PS2 game but were removed in the portable version?"
(Source (http://blog.lhyeung.net/lang/en-uk/2010/04/02/atlus-katsura-hashino-says-no-persona-4-portable/))

And yeah, I'd play the portable version again.

[Asch-no-Okami]

P4P would be awesome.... if I hadn't gotten my friend hooked on it.

To me and the rest of the fans, it'd be awesome. We should all get on a plane, go to Japan and storm the office and tell them to make a PSP port of Persona 4. Among a few others, too.

[Honey Bee]

If its playable on the PSP2 then I'll buy it. I've always wanted a female protagonist for P4. Although I wont die if it didnt happen. Lets just see what happens.

[Asch-no-Okami]

Yeah, they remade all the other Personas excluding Innocent Sin(For now), why not port P4 to the PSP or PSP2?

[Islandboy2]

Meh, since its the latest persona game i don't think it needs a port to the PSP, i'd rather see Persona 5 come out before they start on this.

[Asch-no-Okami]

Forgot about P5. I wish they would release images already.

[dojimadan]

I think I would also prefer P2P over P4P for now

[Asch-no-Okami]

Pretty much. I mean, barely anyone has played Persona 2 and it costs a whole lot of money to buy from Amazon/Play n' Trade/ eBay.

Our best bet is to just wait for a possible English release for P2P:IS or the English release of EP. I'm rooting for both.

[AlmostAutumn]

I know P2 never came to the states, but P4 looks so badass. I'd love to have that on my handheld.
Plus, in a choice between going and getting it for PS2, or being able to play it whnever I'm comfortable with my handheld, I'd go with the handheld.

P2 or P4, though. Don't care which.

As for P5... full scale next-gen console! Or PSP, because it's the best system ever.

I'm sure it'll get an English release if they feel it has even the smallest potential in the Western market. Once a game is built, the cost of translating is less than the amount of profit they'll make from sales.

I'd still rather P4P though, as personally I don't like the style of Persona 1 and 2.

[ArieyGTRR34]

Yeah P4P would be GREATEST game but we gonna see P2P first.

[XadioEXE]

I would like to see what they would do if they made an port of it to the Portable system but im currently to hyped about P2P that i don't bother thinking about an P4P

[Ivann]

It would be sick to have p4 on the go but I'm looking to other projects by Atlus and I wouldn't want them to be delayed or anything. But definitely after P5 or something like that.
