It would be nice to see the Japanese originals end up going on their PSN. I wonder how long the PSP ports will prevent that from happening .. (forever?)
Nah, but I'm happy this is at least known now. I wrote a PSBlog article about it that will probably go up in a couple weeks, which touches on why the PSP version couldn't happen--and that's a "couldn't," not a "didn't," which is sadly all I'll ever really be able to say. It didn't have anything to do with fears of low sales.
Hey Nich, no idea if you're still lurking around here, but what are the chances of an EU release? I'd rather get it on my primary account if I could.
No guarantees (since EP never came out in Europe on PSOne, it'd mean getting it rated for those territories) but I'll ask about it on Tuesday.
Well, SS2 got one for whatever that's worth.Also, uh, will this require another OT?
It sounds like it's probably some programming hangups, whether it's lack of man power or somehow NOT having the foresight to make it reasonable for localization. I'd think Japanese developers would be better about that now, but I keep being surprised in the most amazing ways, and it IS a PS1 title ultimately.I can't fathom what could be blocking the PSP version if not sales(which was my theory due to EP bombing in Japan).

English isn't my strong point, so bear with me, but what does the bolded mean exactly?
Why not both versions, so I can play them on my TV?
It means that they wanted to do it, but for some reason, they couldn't.
By the way, and I will defend this to the death, EP PS had a great translation. Swap out the Revelations references and it's just about perfect.
Well, it certainly wasn't bad, but having replayed it recently, i thought some sentences were too-literal. (likeLisa-Tatsuya interaction in the TV Dungeon)
Certainly better than IS PSP translation, honorifics and "Big Maya", ugh.
I don't think Nich is a Magic 8 Ball we should be hitting up for the details of every single Atlus business decision, it's just nice that he's around to correct things when he can.
As for the reason why Nocturne isn't up on PSN, Ghostlight said they've had emulation issues getting the DDS games up, so maybe that's it.
Oops, nevermind. I looked into it a little more, you are right. I guess I was reading it wrong.

They were supposed to be up about a year ago, but I don't remember the exact reason why.
On a related topic - and before you ask the situation with the Digital Devil Saga games remains unchanged. Were still waiting for an update to the PS2 emulator which will allow us to release them.
Works great with a Dual Shock and a PSPGo...You already canWhy not both versions, so I can play them on my TV?
lol, I'm kidding, this was a terrible solution that I still wish worked better.
This is less than desirable, but I can live with it if a fan translation happens for the PSP version. Would be awesome if Atlus USA at least translated some of the new sections and just posted them online.
I suppose it's worth asking: Change Your Way will be in the PSN release, right?
The Tatsuya scenario's already been scripted for what it's worth, and EP's script is quite good.
Yeah, they screwed up Jun in the dub, he supposed to have a deep, manly voice like Tatsuya, but he sounds pretty plain.
Hook it into my VEINS!
Hook my wallet into Atlus' coffers!
I liked Jun's voice. Fit him as thepensive, pentient, thoughtful young man he was
It's okay now. You can stop suffering.
He wasn't even trying.
Finally, I'll be able to play the only three good Persona games on the go (Persona 1, EP and IS)!

What about Shin Megami Tensei If.... which is basically Persona 0
Don't start this shit, even in jest.
It's effectively a hack of SMT II anyway.
What do you think of that game btw, good?
