Persona PSP Breakdown

Bigger box? Pretty much ensures that Gamestop will only have 2 copies at best....

I love the battle music theme for this one. I hate how the dungeon crawling is done in first person though. The rest of the features for battles though sold this game to me.
 
Picking it up day 1. :D

More of reason to get a PSP

This looks hella boring and all that text, ugh...

SOLD.

"Haha @ 1:05 they say how the music and text is all relocalized but there is a line with "hahahah". No "a" at the end of that."

Except converting to PAL is very simple and doesn't require an awful lot of testing at all. Especially when you consider that doesn't apply to the PSP, doofus.The rest of the localisation really doesn't matter at all, very little of it actually applies to a handheld game, and even then a lot of it can be glossed over acceptably for a console game. It really doesn't require anything like the amount of money to go from JP to NA, to go from NA to EU. Fuck EU, hows about just the UK, we represent a huge portion of the EU market and require even less localisation (still read: none whatsoever, especially for handhelds)Said it a million times, theres simply no excuse, Atlus is a big enough company to undertake these sorts of things easily enough, and there is more than enough money to be made from the UK alone to make it worthwhile. "

Wow, Atlus and Atlus America are pretty awesome for actually upgrading the first game instead of just re-releasing it.

" I wasn't aware that "more encounters, less experience" was a way to make a game harder, even by SMT standards. "

Vinny and Jeff should do an endurance run of this or Devil Survivor once they wrap up Persona 4 soon enough. I just bought Devil Survivor today and I'm super stoked to get down to it. :D

You know this for sure? Thank fook!It was kind of annoying that the guy in the video assumes that everyone supposedly loves a hard RPG.  I don't, man. I'm just in it for the story. :( "

Music CD's FTW. I have both P3 and P4 soundtracks.

Yeah I totally remember Persona 1 and this totally looks like a redone Persona 1.  Shouldn't the kid with the hat be a black kid?  Atlus you frekin' racists.  Just playin'.  Back in the day I remember the battle system being so versatile compared to other RPGs out at the time.  In battle every character can use persona spells, negotiations, items, melee weapons, and GUNS freakin' guns!  Sorry but Naoto dont got shit on this game.

Hm, looks good. Might pick this up on launch... thanks Atlus!

Nice. They've revamped the auto/rush mechanic, which allows you to speed-through battles not just with melee attacks, but with preset magic too. Hope they apply that to Persona 5.

I'm lovin the music. I'm definitely getting this game.

This game looks great.  Persona games are very tempting to get into even though I don't usually like RPGs.

Persona's fights go by much more quickly... Unless you're Vinny. "I dunno, it looks like it's weak to ice? I'm gonna try Bufu.""NO VINNY DON-" *Bufu*

This looks like something I should save up and get with a PSP GO!, therefore I will.

Go here and quit pretending you know exactlly what the return on investment would be for Atlus to release every game in Europe as well as North America.   You have no fucking idea what their specific financial situation and projections are.

Is this guy talking from inside a F-22 RATOR!?

This guy's narration is just as weird and hilarious as the localizations for these games are.  I love it.

I wish i had a PSP...

I wasn't aware that "more encounters, less experience" was a way to make a game harder, even by SMT standards.

Why the hell doesn't Persona 4 have a seduce option?

Why? Oh because we love you.

Why does the guy talking have a garbage mic? I do enjoy his enthusiasm for the game, though I am not getting a PSP for this game.

" No Chie, no Kanji, no thanks. "

If I had a PSP I'd be excited. *tear*

gotta pick this up on release

No Chie, no Kanji, no thanks.

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.

" 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. "

Please leave. "

Looking forward to the soundtrack. Liked the obvious humor.

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

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

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."

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

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".

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.

"@The_A_Drain said:

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.

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."
