My gut feeling is "duh, it's Persona", but on the flipside, it's for the PSP and games do NOT sell on the PSP out West. I know they released P3P and Persona 1, but how did those sell? Not to mention we live in a (soon to be) post-3DS launch world, which I assume can only make the PSP's importance even smaller out here. 
 
I really hope the game gets a release date here but I want to be realistic. What do you guys think are the odds?

Pretty damn likely. Atlus has localized every single game this generation, except one (Growlanser PSP), and Persona is their cash cow.

I think it's possible.

It's doable, but I find those old Persona games before 3 to be pretty unplayable, if you're used to 3 and 4. The tone's completely different, and the gameplay and structure are really weird in comparison. 
 
Also would it have both Persona 2 games in it, or just the one? It'd be nice to have an official north american translation of the 2nd one. Then again I don't know if that Hitler stuff would be a big hit. People seem to be afraid of including him in video games, short of Wolfenstein.

" @Crushed: 
Ah okay, then I'm significantly more interested, given that it would be the first time we saw that game here. 
 
@animateria: Yeah I think that's my problem, they were too "dark" compared to the recent Persona games which had the twisted demon stuff in it, but took a more up-beat perspective on it, which fits the high school setting more. "

" @Laketown: Wait, which one? You just combined both into one name. Innocent Sin was the one that didn't come here and Eternal Punishment was the one we got. I've played neither, but from the videos I've seen, it's just too different from 3 and 4 for me to enjoy as a persona game. I don't really like SMT outside of Persona, so the more messed up they get the less likely I'm playing it.  I liked 3 and 4 because you're a high school student in modern japan, which is a totally bizarre setting you don't see very often in an RPG. Especially with the dating sim elements. "
