A remake of the original PlayStation game, which broke the Shin Megami Tensei franchise out in a completely new direction.
Demon negotiation is a Shin Megami Tensei staple. Ever since Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei was released on the Famicom in 1987, players have been able to talk with their supernatural enemies and attempt to get them to join their ranks. Each game offers its own variation on this unique form of communication and recruitment, but Shin Megami Tensei: Persona has one of the most interesting and realistic approaches to the mechanic.
How Atlus’ localization of the popular Persona games have helped the JRPG make a resurgence in the West.
NIS America has always done a great job of localization and has helped the genre as well.
Each one is different so you start of with anyone.
Start off with persona 4 golden ps vita
Till persona 5 comes out.
It's a unique game and a gem.
Never got into Persona but so glad to see the series making it's way to the US with such polish.
A lengthy and informative interview on Persona 1 has been translated into English for the first time.
The interview originates from the Persona World book, which came with the Megami Ibunronku Persona Digital Collection that released in 1998 as a Windows 95 CD-ROM.
I love the battle music from the Fight Gameplay footage over @ IGN.com if you want to hear it.
The only thing that makes me iffy on buying this day 1 is how you explore dungeons in first person. I've never been of that old school exploration method. I sort of wish they had just put this remakes exploring the same as P3/P4 with 3D models and a behind the back camera.
Either way though if the reviews hold up fairly well I will pick it up day 1 and grit my way through exploration for what I'm sure is an intense story. :)
