Honestly I could care less about Persona 2 unless they give it a persona system more similar to 3 and 4. Having to constantly negotiate with demons in a negotiation system with no logic whatsoever just to get new personas is just ridiculous.

Persona 2's story with Persona 4's combat = The perfect Persona. But 2's combat and persona system is just plain awful.

Wait, so it's not just a port? Or is it the same game except you date the males instead of females?

Must…resist…buying…another…system… If this and VC2 get announced here I will finally be forced to go out and get the cheapest used PSP I can find.

That's true Spencer.

However, I've already had the experience of playing Persona 3, and since it was released only 2 years ago, it's not an old nostalgic game that needs a remake so soon. I'm already glad I waited a few months and got FES instead of the original.

Growlanser is a PSX game and supposedly one of the best in the series. Plus it hasn't been released over in English before. I just have been questioning Atlus's localizing decisions lately - why localize Class of Heroes, The Dark Spire, Tokyo Beatdown, Steal Princess - which likely have more niche audiences than a series that has a dedicated following like Growlanser.

I appreciate remakes when they're games that were great in the day and can use a graphical overhaul - i.e. FF4 DS and Dragon Quest IV and V, but anything less than 4 years old is way too quick to get a remake/port.

If you're complaining about ATLUS releasing games on the PSP, that obviously means you have interest in two or more games already released for it. Contrary to popular belief, the PSP does have quite a few games, my library is actually bigger than my DS library, if you do some research.

lol, this game has sealed the deal. I'm definitely getting a PSP soon, goddamn…

Ooo… I forgot about that as well.

Same here. Especially if they also change the fact that dungeon-crawling fatigues characters. That's what kept me from continuing the PS2 version of Persona 3.

I want it. I absolutely definitely want it. I wonder if the social links will remain the same for her?

I hope they also fix the party members that get 'sick' after a little dungeon crawling. Toughen up! XD

Yeah it's not new… but it never came out in English before. :(

I'm psyched for this! Damn you Atlus! I already own several versions of Persona 3!

Persona 3
Persona 3 FES
Persona 3 FES w/ Artbook

Looks like I'll be adding to that.

I already bought Persona 3 twice. It'll have to be a big addition (to a PSP version? I'm doubting it) to make me want to slog through it again. I love P3, but seriously, not for a third time.

Man, lay off the PSP shit Atlus. Please?

Oh well. I'm happy for those of you who have one :).

But, isn't Growlanser an enhanced port?
