Rejoice, fans of JRPGs, Atlus, the PlayStation Portable, and thePersonaseries alike, for you’re getting a newPersonagame, specifically, a port ofPersona 2.
And this particular port is new in more ways than one, because it’s a port of thefirstpart ofPersona 2,Innocent Sin, which never actually made it to English (not officially, anyway) due to concerns over players being able to fight Hitler as a boss (proof below).Pshaw!That’s nothing compared to today’s outrages (or even yesterday’s). If you’re able to play as the Taliban in a contemporary-conflict-based shooter, you can fight Hitler in an RPG. Simple as that.
Of course, there’s been no actual US release announced yet (nor a remake of the secondPersona 2release,Eternal Punishment), but it’s quite likely, seeing as Atlus USA scooped up the enhanced port ofPersona 1.
I’m quite excited by this news, though I will be the first to admit that I’ll only play it on the easiest difficulty setting. C’mon, beginner mode!
