already done for the japanese ps2 game, I seen it, and if my japanese was a litte better I’d already have download it, still thinking about doing so and just playing with a no spoliers guide, so far theres only a reduced spoliers guide.

Well, it’s not entirely unwise to develop Persona 4 for the PS2 than the PS3. Even with rampant piracy of the PS2, sales would probably be stronger on the PS2 than the PS3. After all, the user install base for the PS2 vastly outnumbers both the PS3 and 360. There’s more people with PS2s than current-gen systems, and the PS3 should technically be able to run the game, so this is a surer bet.

And it’s a lot less expensive to use an old engine than build a brand new engine for a seventh-generation system.

It’s also telling that people still talk about and buy PS2 games these days. Persona especially. There’s already a built-in fanbase among PS2 owners for Persona since P3 and FES.

Piracy is not the issue. Sales are.

So Rise’s back to her hometown, huh? I see.

According to the information so far, she takes over the support role of a certain “bear mascot”. Thus the satellite face for her Persona. That just screams “SUPPORT PERSONA ONLY”, at least to me.

She also seems to be one year younger than the Protagonist, so you’ll be hearing a lot of “sempai” from her… and I’m actually waiting for her tsundere outbursts in the game. :D

Now if only they would offer a dual language support system for stateside (or rather, English language) ports….

Yeah, why they still stick it to the PS2? Bad decision I’d say, cause you’ll know it will always be mass-pirated, compared to the not-yet-cracked PS3. I hope the next installment will get a platform upgrade. Including the graphics and all of that sorts.
