@KingMike As a reasonably knowledgable Persona fan (been taking part in them for 15ish years however primarily 3 onwards) Persona 2 Harmless Sin (the primary one) instructed a whole story however they did a observe up sport to it specializing in the results of the primary half. The primary half initially wasn’t localised appears to be right down to Hitler being one of many closing bosses which is smart within the context of the sport because it’s all about rumours coming true and a scarcity of time/employees to work on it since work was going down on the second half of the sport. This was rectified with the PSP model as which made some slight adjustments to that characters look which painted the tiniest of fig leafs on the entire thing (severely google Persona 2 with that individual’s title and snigger on the PSP adjustments). I believe the explanation the second half did not get localised was because of the lateness of the port, it was a Could 2012 sport and by that time the PS Vita was already out in all places. Fortunately sufficient for us now there may be an English patch for the PSP model so you possibly can play by way of each of them with the PSP updates.
Persona 1 when it was initially localised quite a lot of stuff, it was 30 years in the past and anime/manga was much more area of interest than it’s at this time so I kinda perceive it but it surely wasn’t simply character names, they modified areas and peoples appearances too to slot in extra. Additionally that aspect quest you talked about being lower out was the second route of the sport, very early on you get locked into certainly one of two seperate tales which closely diverge from one another. The PSP model principally began once more from scratch.
That is all primarily based on stuff I’ve picked up by way of movies, the wiki and fan dialogue as I solely have a couple of hours within the first Persona and have not touched the two duology in any respect. It will be good to get ports of the PSP variations on trendy platforms to protect a absolute best model of the originals. They’re so so totally different from 3-5 that any remake goes to must massively change issues to satisfy fan expectations, I additionally do not see it as very possible they announce floor up remakes of both 1 or 2 since we have already got the 4 remake on the way in which.
Ideally I would prefer to see SMT 1,2 and If formally launched in English on trendy system (I do know concerning the iOS port of 1 however I believe it acquired caught up within the swap to 64 bit apps on iPhones) as nicely however I believe getting ports of the unique Personas is already a bit unrealistic sadly. Hope I am confirmed flawed sooner or later this 12 months!
