"Yggdra Union: We'll Never Fight Alone is a pretty solid port of a pretty solid GBA game with some nice upgrades to compliment the new technology. It's a pretty hardcore game with a steep learning curve but if you like the genre you will most likely love this game. It may not be the definitive portable RPG, but on a portable system that is desperately hungry for them…this might very well be your best bet. It's a cute, charming game that I won't be forgetting anytime soon.
If you enjoy tactical RPGs you will enjoy this game. I'd probably most recommend it to those Fire Emblem players who want to try something a little more difficult. This game has some rather lengthy story segments so it'd be pretty bothersome to play through combat if it wasn't at least fun…but once you get the ball rolling you'll find it hard to put down. If you're not a fan of the genre, this may not be your kind of game. The genre is pretty slow, plodding, and places an emphasis on thought as opposed to action. "
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
