Persona PSP Breakdown

Oh

I cant see it :(

You wants it, but you can't haves it.

Looks good. I can't wait to get my hands on this.

I have heard of Persona.

PSP Persona Endurance Run. :)

Aha! Is this my chance to play Persona?

Must have.

Looks fun.

It sounds like he's being choked at 40 seconds in.

voice reminded me of "Half-life full life consequences" :p

Per..sona? What the hell is that?

way to skype it in guy

totally preordering this on september 22nd
Then getting me some brutal legend in rocktober!

Great promo video, it made me want a title a didnt care about at all before :)

So I guess this is confirmed... Persona is really built on top of a collectible card game.

They couldn't not relocalize the dialog, given how awful it was the first time around.  That's always been their strength anyway

I hope it's released in EU and with the soundtrack as well. Otherwise I'll just import from ebay or something since the PSP is region free.

"Compared to other JPRGs that make you sit through endless and repetitive spell animations..."

FF8's summons...completely unbearable.

Hmmm i want.

It's kind of cool to see what Atlus can do for their US releases when given a big-boy budget.

I want it!

I love how he confirmed the Snow Queen quest in the PSP version. It was sorely missed in the US PS1 version.

"Everybody came to give me PORN!"

Now I HAVE to buy it. Fuck you Atlus.

"Sno...queen *cough*" What the hell was that, lol.

They need Jeff shouting "Yaaaaaaaaaaay!" when Jack Frost pops out.
Looks fun, I'll be picking it up for sure. I still need to finish Devil Survivor on DS though.

snow queef quest?

YAY I get to replay a game that totally creeped me out when I was nine! Still loved it though.

One thing I wish the newer Personas still had is being able to talk an enemy down instead of fighting.

Damn. Looks like I'll need to buy a PSP now.

i hate the art style of this game. that, coupled with the lack of social linking, really put me off at first. after watching this video, though, i really want this game. this was a hugely effective add for the game.

" "Sno...queen *cough*" What the hell was that, lol. "

Yow, this looks awful.

Nice vid. I'd buy this if I had a PSP.

Pre-ordered.  Now someone rub my chest, it's feeling a little sore.

Cool, too bad I dont have a PSP  :-(

I played it on PSX way back when it came out in 1996, it was pretty cool given it was then a fresh concept to not be in typical fantasy settings and contrivances.  Remember folks, this came out before FF7, so before this the last RPG most had played was Beyond the Beyond or something on the SNES.  Having dudes in a contemporary setting with machine guns instead of swords in a forest was unheard of in a console RPG at the time (unless you played imports).  And all the occult stuff was something new as well, the last game that made it to the West with occult themes was Arcana for the SNES, and that was basically a card game.

I never cared for the negotiating bit, it just felt like a big hassle on top of the already tough combat and lengthy exploration.  It's clear in this version they're admitting to make some of that less painful, but I actually stopped playing because it just took too long to get anywhere and I eventually forgot what i was doing in the game.  The fact that Suikoden, FF7, and Breath of Fire III came along didn't help either.

I may pick it up, I still have the old Die-Hard Gamefan strategy guide for it, I wonder if it will still be accurate.  This was back when anime was still widely unknown to all but the nerdiest, and games would get gutted to remove any connection to Japan in fear of not connecting with Western audiences.  In fact Persona was one of the last games to suffer that practice, since FF7 created a huge swell of interest in Japanese pop culture and made it all less foreign, allowing companies like Atlus and ASCII to start releasing games with very little localization - even to the point of leaving in the Japanese dialogue - something that was taboo until then.  So you could say it's a landmark of gaming that Atlus wants to rectify by doing it the justice it deserved back then.

Now where's Space Griffin for PSP?

I like this already.

Looks really cool...too bad i don't own a psp

Oh hey, a pre date sim Persona.

This game was the number one reason I got a PSP. I hope they remake Persona 2: Innocent Sin for the PSP as well. Hell, remake both Persona 2 games. That'd be sweet!

He can *cough hitler and cockdemon cough* when Innocent Sin gets its remake.

Yeah...I still need to pre-order this.

Ugh, okay, uncle, uncle.  I'll preorder it already.  I even preordered the deluxe edition of Demon Souls.  How much more of my money do you demand Atlus?!  Leave me alone and make Persona 5 already goddamnit!!

S-s-snow queen quest!?

Not to nitpick, though, but the idea that they went back and re-examined persuading and DIDNT add a feature so that the game remembers persuasion patterns you've attempted already is kinda ridic. The reason it was hard to manage to begin with was because they expected you to memorize the combos even after figuring the good ones out, which is so crazy and unnecessary when you consider the shear number of combos there are between persuasion tactics and demon personalities.

Totally looks worth a buy with all the improvements they made.

Did I understand it correctly that the only version that will have voiced CG-cutscenes is the North American one?
