GamersPlatform Reports:
"Ah here we are, another year, another GBA to PSP port. This years game is Yggdra Union, a card based strategy RPG from Atlus. Now Alus has always brought us some decent games, and in this case, the port to PSP has done this game a lot of good. Don't get me wrong, it was an ok game on the GBA, but had issues mostly because the GBA was never the system to put RPGs on.
So, what makes this version better? Well, a lot. The most noticeable difference is the sound. The music sounds much better now, and the game is almost entirely voice acted. Furthermore, each chapter introduction is now voice acted, so not only is the text a lot easier to read, but you can hear it as well. This really helped draw me into the story a lot faster and a lot easier..."
Atlus fans confined to Sony’s duo of handhelds shouldn’t feel slighted over this week’s generous eShop savings, as a mountain of sweet discounts have spilled over to the PSN store this week as well.
Agreed. 20 bucks can score you a few hundred hours of excellent gameplay with this deal.
If you're new to the series I'd start with Persona 2: Innocent Sin as it's a lot more polished and enjoyable than the original.
PlayStation Blog - "Money. It’s like a baby in a burning building or a snail in the middle of a busy sidewalk; pretty much everyone wants to save it.
Since nobody wants to be the jerk that steps on that poor, innocent snail, we (the fine people at Atlus) are dropping prices on our PlayStation Store library of PSP system titles, not unlike the PS Vita’s undocumented ability to drop smaller articles of sub-clothing. We’re calling it…"
woohoo for people who don't own these great games.

their sale came too late, i already bought 6-7 games that went on sale in the past 2 weeks, i would have bought some of their games over these, but now im stocked up. ill buy them later but :((((((
GamingUnion: "It's a well known argument that JRPG fans haven't really had much in the way of home console hits this generation. Only recently have publishers begun to announce highly anticipated titles such as The Last Story and Xenoblade Chronicles – albeit only in Europe. Now I've heard this complaint many times and what I find is that many a JRPG fan simply don't bother to look elsewhere, especially when that elsewhere is a portable device. Sony's PSP and Nintendo's DS systems are breeding grounds for the genre, where many traditional, as well as experimental titles, can be found. One such title is Atlus and Sting's Yggdra Union: We'll Never Fight Alone."
I knew about this game sincw its japanese launch.
And let me make this clear. The consoles are not doing well in japan. THATS WHY THEY ARENT COMING OUT IN BULK for the consoles.
BUT considering there place theirs more japanese rpgs on them than any system in history
Good to see this is at least one port I can look forward to grabbing.
Preorder's already done.
