Don't start this shit, even in jest.
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.
And here I thought I could maybe have a reason to pick my PSP back up. Damn you Atlus.
You could always play the PSN version on it.
Problem solved.
We live in a world where Aksys announced the localization of a dating sim with Keiji Inafune's niece, but Atlus is afraid to localize a remake in their star franchise on the same platform.
We live in a very strange world.
Better than nothing, and PSV can stand for Persona Vita at last.
Don't Ps1 games show up as a small rectangle in the middle of the screen when played on PSP?
I don't know if I'd like that... good thing at least it can be played on Ps3.
You can stretch it to fit full screen.
It's decent. It's SMT II without the story or towns. It's JUST dungeons.
Good story, what little it has.
Late to this thread but just wanted to say thanks, Nich, for giving us a conclusive answer to EP PSP and to Atlus in general, for giving us EP PS1 in its absence.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.
"Couldn't happen" is pretty definite. I don't know what to think about that.good for newcomers who want to play the best Persona games. no new content means i'll have to skip this.
maybe next time. let's positive thinking, right?

Even though it was pretty bleak for a while, I was still clinging to a sliver of hope, especially with all the other niche PSP games that are still coming. Now I just feel deflated.
I am in the same boat, very dissapointed of Atlus.good for newcomers who want to play the best Persona games. no new content means i'll have to skip this.

For someone that hasn't played P2, is it even worth bothering to play the PSP version of IS? Since you'll just have to downgrade to the PS1 version of the sequel anyways, seems like you're better off just playing the PS1 versions of both. Really wish they didn't go half-way on it..
IS wasn't released in English on the PS1 if that means anything to you.
The Persona 2 set of games is cursed. We apparently can only get one half at a time.Ah, that is a good reason. That's hilarious.
Suppose I might just stick with the rest of the games in the series and wait it out.
Well, to be fair, you'll be able to play both games on the PSP and Vita either way now.The Persona 2 set of games is cursed. We apparently can only get one half at a time.
That's not my point though.Well, to be fair, you'll be able to play both games on the PSP and Vita either way now.
Do you think it would it be tolerable after playing Persona 4 on PSV? Never played the original. Is it similar to P3P?
It may be hard to get into (I found SMT:N onwards are FAR more playable than any English titles we got beforehand), but IS is supposed to be pretty easy, and at worst you can just follow Faqs and brute force with ideal Personas. A bit of grinding, but not entirely in the usual sense: there's cards you'll want to get to make Personas, and that can require going through conversations with demons over and over again to accumulate enough. Persona 3 and 4 handled it way better I think by only letting you manage the MC's Persona (and by proxy removing restraints) and just straight up giving you Personas that usually serve as fusion fodder.Do you think it would it be tolerable after playing Persona 4 on PSV?

Not even close.Do you think it would it be tolerable after playing Persona 4 on PSV? Never played the original. Is it similar to P3P?
Will this be region locked too? Far be it for Atlus to stop being assholes now.

That's what's UP, wonder if it'll be 5.99 or 9.99. Either way, I'm glad I didn't start SMT2 cuz I know what I'll be playing the moment it hits on Tuesday. Can't waaaaaaaaaaaaaait, gonna find out how the story concludes finally, yeah!
Should definitely be a new thread when Nich's blog entry goes up.
For the news, or for the game?
Both. More people need to play IS/EP.
Every time I saw a game get a new OT for a domestic release, only being folded together if the game hit everywhere at around the same time. I'm guessing someone should just make a new OT, especially as localization changes between P2 EP and P2 IS need to be tracked.
Should I finish IS? Made it as far asI always found EP more interesting.the bombs in the stadium.
