The original Persona, released in 1996 for the PS1, is due for a PSP remake; fans are most excited as it looks to be an impressive improvement over the original, and of course it marks the beginning of the series.
The game is due soon, hitting shops April 29th, priced ¥5,229.
You can see the trailer below:
As you can see, it has an old-school first person dungeon crawl mechanic, along with isometric combat and distinctly retro character designs (all retained from the original). The Persona series remains as visually distinctive as ever, then.
Via Itai News.
This may be the first chance, assuming it is released outside Japan, for an international audience to properly enjoy this title, as the localised version released in America was notoriously butchered to localise rather than translate; the market’s tastes have clearly changed to preclude this style of release since.
Certainly, this has all the signs of a promising remake, but let us hope Atlus start providing products for more advanced consoles soon; the prospect of a new Persona game on an older platform seems unlikely, but remakes of the other Shin Megami Tensei titles (especially Nocturne) on a portable platform would be a waste…

Dear god Yes! This just makes me want a psp so badly, even if just for this game
Time to steal my cousin's PSP
Maybe if this is successful, Eternal Punishment will get a proper translation too.
And Innocent Sin again I suppose, just for the sake of continuity.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Goddammit, I don't have a PSP. PS2 RELEASE PLZKTHX.
I am still wondering about the name of the song in that trailer. I can't seem to get it out of my head.
what the hell? how can they call this a remake? same graphics and just added FMV scenes? looks more like a port to me.
How disappointing.
Oh yes! the main character hear reminds me Lulu, one reason why I didn't like Persona that much before except for P2 and the rest of the series.
personally before I didn't like the designs of this old Persona, but seeing it having a remake makes me a bit nostalgic. Though still P3 and P4 hit it right on the designs, though P1's story is much darker.
Maybe this time they won't arbitrarily turn one of the characters into a nigra and name him "Mark"
You are racist
Black King, I am not calling YOU racist. I AM calling Haborym racist. Black people play SMT, too
Yes, and turn the rest of the characters into americans.
What's wrong with a nigra named "Mark"¿ My uncle's name is Mark.......well, Marcus.
in the original jap he was asian, and was not called Mark
Woo for bad translations :D
Well, since Persona 1 gets to be remade, chances are it's gonna rock.
Now, Devil Summoner (The original one, not the ones with Raidou Kuzunoha) and Soul Hackers should also be remade and brought here as well. They seem to be great games too.
I hope there's an UNDUB version..
There probably won't be a LEGAL undub...but theres always the pirated way >:P
I hope too XD

If not even PS2 Personas get dual audio, a PSP Persona on UMD is less likely to.
If it gets released outside of Japan and translated then I will buy this. I want to play the first Persona game.
