Yup. The JP version only had text subtitles-kind of weird. "

whats with the terrible audio?

In addition to their own weapons, everybody has guns? Sweet!

"Yow, this looks awful."

I wanna say this looks interesting...but I can´t....and oh, the dude in the yellow hat looks like a real freak.

I stopped the video when he said "more random encounters, less experience".

No thanks @ grinding. Also where's the searchable fusion database found in Devil Survivor?

No social aspect = not for me. Too bad.

Why the HELL are they remaking the FIRST Persona game? And not even with better graphics. Only the FF games can be remade these days and actually be worthy of playing. This game is NOT what I am looking for after playing Persona 4.

Well I'm swedish so I guess I'm screwed too then. I'll proibably get it anyway though. "

I'm shocked to see all the negative responses. I'm looking forward to it, and it's nice to see Atlus putting some marketing into it.

You have to remember, despite the fancy new interface and presentation, this is still technically an early Playstation RPG. Nostalgia goggles are firmly applied.

My first experience was the series was with Persona 3. I'm definitely interested in seeing the series' origins, and how the gameplay differs.

Plus, Atlus USA continues to pump out totally sick packages. Two soundtrack CDs packed in with a PSP game. That's how awesome they are.

Nice.

I'd like to try it, but since I started my adventure with the Persona games with P4 and then went to P3, I'm afraid I'd play the first Persona thinking "God, they made it so much better in the next installments" and never get to fully appreciate the game. Also, I grew on the P4 characters so much it was very hard for me to play P3 and feel for the new/old guys and I had too much fun from Social Links in both to give up them.

Still, I'd played both P3 and P4 like centuries ago, so I'll probably make my girlfriend buy Persona for PSP before getting them on the PS3.

Can not wait to play this! My most looked forward to game of the year!
<3 Atlus

He called Persona's SP; Skill Points but I thought in Persona 3 and 4 they were called Spirit Points.  Meh.

How about instead of fucking about giving away free stuff, you actually bother to release in Europe?!!?

Don't get me wrong, I love what you do for your customers, but i'm getting a might pissed off being totally fucking ignored and having to rely on Square-Enix to bring your games to me.

And no, I can't import it because sony are assholes, websites will NOT import to Europe after threats of legal action after the PS3 fiasco. There is no way for me to get this game unless you release it here, so fi you're not gonna bother, fuck you Atlus. You clearly only love North America.

" How about instead of fucking about giving away free stuff, you actually bother to release in Europe?!!?

" He called Persona's SP; Skill Points but I thought in Persona 3 and 4 they were called Spirit Points.  Meh. "

Just because Persona 3 added the sim elements doesn't automatically make P3/4 better.  The combat, along with the contact system, and even the atmosphere, are just so different between P1/2 and P3/4 that drawing too many comparisons between the two doesn't seem entirely fair to me.

I would guess that Persona 4 is the best of the five games (yes, five), but the original Persona is so different from P3/P4 that you need to give it a fair shake, despite its lack of sim stuff.

" @Zeik: bottom line is it's still that company, and if they stopped giving away free shit all the time maybe they could afford to actually release the games over here. You can still organise a release with 3 people, heck even less you don't need a Europe branch to organise a release that can be done from anywhere "

Persuading is way more "social" than social linking. All social linking is is you finding someone with an exclamation point over their head and listening to their woe story. In persuasion, you actually conduct a conversation in complete control of your responses. Maybe a little too much for people who think sitting through ten minutes of "wah momma died" and making one choice is a "sim", as opposed to making like 4 choices instantaneously with a variety of consequences. Go back to your cut-scenes and pretend you're playing a game, this isn't for you.

And like I said, you don't need to open a whole localisation branch, you simply stick the US release out onto the EU market like everybody else does.

" @Zeik: I know how localisation works you burk. I also know that nobody ever localizes for Europe anyway, they simply assume that adding in deutch is enough, nobody ever does anything ontop of that.  "

Were they? I don't recall SP being named at all in those games, other than being called SP. "

You're pretty much screwed anyway since there's no guarantee the game will even come out in your region.But if it does, I'm sure the localization would be based on the North American version instead of the Japanese one. Why bother re-translating into English when there's already an English translation?The additional European languages could potentially cause problems though. Do UMDs have the capacity for multiple voice tracks? "

You clearly don't know what goes into localizing a game if you think it's as simple as just throwing it out on the market. Localizing a game consists of much more than merely translating it, putting it on a disk, and then selling it to people. 3 people alone would not actually be able to get the game out in any reasonable amount of time."

This is by far my least favorite Persona game, but all the changes look really cool. Hopefully this is a sign that Atlus USA is paying close attention to the feedback from the American players and making changes to the localized version that makes the user experience better for us for all of their games going forward.

Unfortunately, I'm missing out on this game either way, because I don't have a PSP.

I'm not sure if it's mentioned in-game, but I'm checking page 28 of the Persona 3 FES manual and they refer to SP as Spirit Points."

This trailer felt a little too much like watching a day time shopping channel. Still, I do have to applaud them for the use of the phrase "It's harder. That's right, just the way you like it".

Whenever Persona 4's Main Character levels up, it'll say:>Your Hit Points and Spirit Points have increased. "

Looking forward to the soundtrack. Liked the obvious humor.

Please leave. "

" @Mcfart:
Umm if you continued watching you would have seen that they made it easier with LESS random encounters and MORE Experience...duh "

Actually no, they were referring to the original US release with that comment, which was dumbed down during it's localization. This release is going to stay true to the original Japanese release, which did have more encounters and less exp.The game does have an easy mode though, which really doesn't require any grinding at all. "

fully voiced in the north american version only? what is this tard talking about. it will be fully voiced in all english speaking releases, including UK, Australia and Europe.
