Persona 2 needs a remake miles more than p4 does.

P2 does NOT play well and it's dungeon design is abysmal (but that's true of everything pre-p5)

Like that battle system needs to be tossed in a dumpster

Will they have the balls for changing 2 duology's gameplay though?

I know they were before 3 & the Community/Social Link aspect was the evolution & innovation of 2's supporting NPCs, rumormongers & shop keepers somewhat.

I think I'm tired of hearing about Persona projects so far in advance. The only thing people are waiting for is P6 and apparently they keep pushing back that announcement. It's pretty boring now.

I can look into that. Never played P2 but I heard there's dozens of quality changes along with the new translations.

The plan is digital only release but again, things can change considering it's a couple years out.

I hope one of those quality changes is either "completely new battle system" or "You can skip the battles", because otherwise this game is going to be unplayable for the vast majority of Persona fans.

"New translation" is kind of an odd selling point since very few people in the West have played P2, so they wouldn't know the difference.

Well, IIRC the second game's PSP Remaster (which I'm assuming is the baseline for this) was never officially translated, so they are forced to do that

Remaster with both games. New translation is the selling point and it'll be on every console including Switch 2 and next gen xbox.

The most interesting thing here is that it confirms that there is new Xbox hardware being developed despite recent rumors that they're leaving the space.

Also the new translation better not mess with Maya's whoop-ass time!

I need that P2 remake. I want a Persona game with mature characters.

knowing current atlus and knowing nothing good ever happens the only reason they might remake it is to change everyones ages and put them into high school again
oh and remove the jun romance. he will just be "good buds" with tatsuya now

Never doubted that a P2 remake was happening, considering that their own poll said it was just as wanted as 3.

I don't see the point in remaking 4. Gameplay wise it's fine but it's story has a lot of problematic elements that I doubt they'll change.

I've never played P2, always wanted to. I would love a P2 remake or re imagining. I can do without the P4 remake, Golden is already a great version of that game. Then again, I haven't played P3:R yet, so I don't fully know how big the glow up is.

Also please just give me an HD remaster (on Steam) of Digital Devil Saga 1+2 Atlus. Those games are far too good to be stuck on the PS2.

Hope they don't try to force the post P3 social gameplay into the P2 Remake. The current homogenization of the series is sad.

If they remaster P1, the only change they need to make is have each character have multiple facial expressions.

It'd be great to have a modern, complete release of the Persona 2 duology. But I wonder how many people will be disappointed that the games are not what current Persona is...

There day 1 for Persona 4 remake; especially after playing Reloaded. Just give me Atlus!

And I'd also check out Persona 2 if it was remade as well.

Persona 4 needs a new version specifically to tone down the homophobic bullshit (or, rather, have him actually aknowledge he's been a shithead and do better), and also address the elephant in the room re:Naoto's story. I tried playing through it years ago and was loving it in spite of those things, but Yosuke's constant bullying of Kanji wore me down, and finding out that you have to tell Naoto "I'm glad you're a girl" in order to romance her was the straw that broke my back.

Why do I get the feeling the only reason Atlus is remaking P2 is so they can remove the gay romance?

ah dip, I would've wanted a full P2 remake since the gameplay is... well, it's not horrible but it's not great. It would benefit a lot from playing more like, say, a modernised DDS. But I'll take a cute little remaster set.

I hope you all end up buying the one and only entry in the series to have:

A bisexual protagonist in IS
A solo female protagonist in EP
A gay romance option
An adult cast out of high school

Because we're never getting any of those again.

Come on man, no need to be nice. P2's gameplay is the rpg equivalent of watching beige paint dry.

P1 is way more bullshit, but it's severely more interesting mechanics wise. P2's like near the bottom in terms of actual gameplay of SMT adjacent games

Lots of hate in this thread (can't say I'm surprised), but I am 1000% in for a Persona 4 remake.

Would be interested in Persona 2, but that's going to depend a lot on how they handle it.
