reaper Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Shin Megami Tensei: Persona Proposed Box Art source US version Publisher: Atlus Platform: PlayStation Portable Release Date: September 30, 2009 Release Region: United States Japanese Version Publisher: Atlus Platform: PlayStation Portable Release Date: April 29, 2009 Release Region: Japan A remake of the first entry in the critically-acclaimed RPG series, which gave the world a completely new schism of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise. The PSP version features a completely redone localization and content never before seen in North America. Combined with gameplay enhancements and additions new to the remake, fans will have the chance to experience the first Persona game released in North America in a whole new way. Persona is a philosophical game that takes place in a world close to our own. It is a departure from the typical swords and sorcery, and it delivers a tale of dreams, the purpose of life, and who we are as individuals. In Persona you have modern weapons like an Uzi and an AK-47. And instead of always fighting monsters, you are given the opportunity to talk your way through a confrontation. By talking things out, you can earn components of spells the more components you have, the more powerful your spells become. source On February 6th, 2009, Famitsu Magazine announced that Atlus will be making an enhanced remake for PlayStation Portable and is now rebranded without the title Megami Ibunroku.[13] On February 24, 2009, Atlus U.S.A. announced that they were localizing the PSP remake featuring a completely redone localization and content never before seen in North America (along with the other changes in the Japanese PSP remake. This means that unlike the playstation release, the PSP localization will stay as true to Japanese origin of the game as possible).[14] Updates include: - All the original FMVs will be remade by Kamikaze Douga, and there will be many brand new FMVs as well to enhance the storytelling. - Shoji Meguro, who will also be serving as the game's director will be arranging all the original BGM and the vocal tracks will feature Yumi Kawamura, the vocalist for the Persona 3 tracks. - The interface has been fully revamped to take advantage of the full widescreen view for the benefit of all users. - Both the original scenario and the Snow Queen scenario will contain additional dungeon floors not found in the original. The new dungeon elements will also contain tricky puzzles and extra content for the player to unravel. - The game has been fully rebalanced to enhance the playing experience from the original version. The encounter rate and dungeon designs have been tweaked as well. There will also be multiple difficulty settings to more player choice. - Battle animations can now be skipped entirely, and the battle load times have been decreased to 2/3 the time of the original game. - There will be many more save points available throughout the game, and for portable fans the game will also feature a quicksave feature. - A new pre-rendered aerial view town map similar to the later Persona franchises will replace the original real-time 3D town map. There is no more random encounter when traveling in the town as well. source Japanese Trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only first game to be released on PSP, but others may follow (I'm willing to bet we'll be getting a remake of P2 as well) 2. PSP Go doesn't have an UMD drive, so unless there's a digital download available, PSP/PSPSlim for now. 3. PSP Slim 2004 w/ CFW via Pandora Battery is your best bet.

reaper Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 ^^ PSP 2000 / 3000 .. i really doubt if the remaining 3 games will be out on PSP as well .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HundredProofSam Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Gotta love how Atlus bundle all this stuff into each copy of the game, while other publishers would sell it at a higher price and label it "Collector's Edition" peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeezNah Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 i really doubt if the remaining 3 games will be out on PSP as well .. I dunno, Persona 2 is definitely do-able. Naturally, any game released on the PS1 can be playable on the PSP to some extent via POPSLoader, but its the extra goodies we have to count on. And Atlus is a master of knowing when to tickle the fanboy bone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reaper Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 more on my most anticipated game on the PSP this year About SMT: PersonaThe rumor going around St. Hermelin High School holds that if you play the "Persona" game, you can see what the future holds for you. When a group of students-some eager, some skeptical-tries the game out, they experience something quite different. Before long, the city is turned upside-down and demons are roaming the streets, and only the students' newfound power of Persona can set things right again. Whether you pursue Takahisa Kandori and his abuses of the power he wields as SEBEC's president, or whether you delve into the curse of the Snow Queen that has plagued St. Hermelin for decades, a deep, modern, psychological tale awaits. Remember your true self, and free the tortured psyches of others... Key Features * More than the same old JRPG—Dark, philosophical, and complex, Persona sets you up in a modern day Japan that has gone into chaos. Demons run free, and you and your team must navigate corruption, mental frailty, and an alternate version of your world to bring your reality back into order. * A second chance on PSP—Offering a second opportunity to experience the beginnings of the acclaimed Persona series, this remake boasts a fully relocalized script, revamped user interface, faster battles, expanded soundtrack, and new in-game movies with voice work added just for the North American release. * Unique tactical opportunities—The inner selves known Personas are your key to progressing through the adventure, adding skills and incredible depth to your battle tactics. Expand and improve your collection through the Demon Negotiation system that offers spell cards that you can later fuse into new Personas. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona has not yet been rated by the ESRB. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Like others, I wonder if they're gonna release P2 on the PSP too, and if they do, will they release both of 'em? I tried to play P2: Innocent Sin (the one that was never released in NA), and I couldn't handle it. It looked shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HundredProofSam Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Persona for PSP to have simultaneous retail and PlayStation Network launch Although you'll have to buy the UMD version to get the game's full 2-disc soundtrack Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today announced that the upcoming Shin Megami Tensei®: Persona® for PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, the highly-anticipated remake of the first chapter in the critically-acclaimed Persona series, will launch simultaneously at retail and via PlayStation®Network on September 22nd. Retail customers have an added incentive to pre-order; the UMD release of SMT: Persona is a Collector's Edition boxed set, with each and every launch copy including the game's full 2-disc musical score, courtesy of master composer Shoji Meguro, at no additional cost. Lauded for its mature and philosophical narrative, SMT: Persona stands apart from other RPGs of its era, blending sophisticated storytelling with addictive combat, demon negotiation, and demon fusion components. Boasting a fully redone localization (including content never before seen in North America), all-new music, beautiful new animated sequences overseen by famed artist Kazuma Kaneko, enhanced graphics and sound, adjustments to game balance, and a number of technical and design improvements, this is the definitive version of one of the most sought after RPGs of all time. "Over a decade after the game was originally released for PlayStation®, we're proud to be able to deliver a remade, remastered SMT: Persona through the ever-growing PlayStation®Store in addition to traditional retail channels," said Tim Pivnicny, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Atlus. "When the PSP®go System launches in October, customers will immediately be able to load up a digital copy of what promises to be one of the platform's strongest RPG releases of the year. To show our devotion to our fans and retail partners, the UMD release of SMT: Persona will include the game's complete 2-disc soundtrack. This tremendous value is exclusive to the retail version of the game, and only available for a limited time at launch." Shin Megami Tensei: Persona is currently scheduled to release in stores and via PlayStation Network on September 22, 2009. Both versions have an MSRP of $39.99, but only the physical launch copies will include the game's soundtrack on 2 discs, all packaged in a premium oversized outer box.

Phoenix Wright Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 lol, what that review actually says, if you read between the lines, is that it's nearly the same as P3: FES. So a must-get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 ^^ Its nowhere near as good as FES. Dont go by the review. But screw all that. Its Persona and the box art is super duper sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
