I mean sure we will probably see some battle system and presentation changes but generally you don't rock the boat after the biggest selling and most critically acclaimed game in your franchise and I might even argue social links/calendar system + coming of age anime story are the brand now as Persona has existed with them as pillars of design/presentation style for much of its biggest years of growth as a series.
And that's only a part of the wild ride that is Innocent Sin, that game basically starts off the rails and ramps up to the Nazis, and then goes beyond that even.
I just meant it'll have to be a different type of game. I think it'll play like whatever persona 6 is.
Absolutely!
The PSP games are pretty much the definitive way to go. Eternal Punishment PSP even got a fan translation recently
Is that fan translation good? I remember years ago there were several attempts at one but they all had various problems or something.
It uses the PS1 localization but with more accurate names for things (for instance, "Kei Nanjo" instead of "Nate Nanjo") and some other small changes, plus the bonus Tatsuya scenario that wasn't in the PS1 version is translated.
Yeah, it's a little confusing. I will lay it out. Innocent Sin is part 1, Eternal Punishment is part 2.
That's a hell of a lot of endorsements lol. Alrighty then. Currently playing P3R, but I do want to run through the rest of the series too. I'll probably do P3R -> P1 (PSP) -> P4G -> P2IS (PSP) -> P2EP (PSP) -> P5R. Will take a long time though, since I'm also playing a bunch of other stuff.
Enjoy! Although I would understand if you bounced off of Persona 1 after trying it. The encounter rate in addition to how long combat takes turns a lot of people off. I like the game myself, but even I got burned out on it and didn't finish my Snow Queen playthrough.
Considering Hashino apparently included these elements in Metaphor I hope P6 try to go for something different than a copy pasta of the same formula in a new setting.
Snow Queen... I remember farming the Casino to get Megidoleon so I could clear the dungeons in reverse order for the best ending or something like that.
Yeah I got to the point of trying to farm that free dungeon (Devil's Tower I think, or something like that) for stuff and it got pretty grating, often resulting in me attempting the dungeon again. I got through Hypnos Tower and Nemesis Tower without issue, but fucking Thanatos Tower broke me. It's gimmick of anyone dying (and there's lots of instakills) requiring you to have to go all the way back down to get their Persona back was just not fun or interesting. It's made even worse by no saving in the tower dungeons.
I don't really think it makes less sense than say....remaking Persona 3 before 1 and 2.
It used the script of the original PSX version for the most part with some slight fixes. From what I've read it seems pretty good.
Maybe after Reload and Rebirth I'll have time to sit down and finally play them. Would need to replay P1 first though because I barely remember it and I'm not looking forward to replaying P1. lol
You could say they'd be taking a "gamble" doing something with those persona 2 games. If you catch my drift.
Maniax ain't even real studio fr. More like a team of folks that work on SMT. They are just Atlus. Now with the huge success of SMT V, having a dedicated non persona megaten studio wouldn't be a bad idea. They announced EO6 eons ago but it ain't nowhere near finished probably because the creator of EO (and I'd assume the rest of the people) made SMT V. The guy behind maniax hasn't directed a game since SMT IV for whatever reason. Raidou judging by the polls is probably gonna get remade, maybe he's on that idk.
There's not all that much from Persona 1 that plays a role in Persona 2. Pretty much just a couple cameos, nothing vital. Reading through a plot summary in the Wikia is probably more than enough. I never finished P1 (got bored after hours of dungeon crawling with a fairly uninteresting plot and cast), and I had a pretty great time with the two P2 games
