Hey now, you could also buy a PSTV and play it on the TV too. If you could find a PSTV anywhere that wasn't a scalper.

There was a point where PSTVs were super loving cheap because they couldn't give them away. I kinda wish I'd picked one up then.

I got it when they were cheap like that back in 2017 to play P4G. The big expense is having to keep buying storage cards for it. They were pricy even back then, I imagine they're more expensive now.

The PSP version of P1 honestly just sucks all of the atmosphere and presentation out of the whole thing, failing particularly bad with the music aspect. Instead of fixing things that would help gameplay like eliminating the P-level system, battle grid, etc. they spent money on a few CG cutscenes that weren't remaking old CG cutscenes, but randomly replacing written scenes that were just shown normally in-game anyway, and cutting out the sound effects and 3/4ths the music tracks. Those new cutscenes didn't even have voice acting in the JP version, either. That was just something the US side thought to do.

I for one love stiff wobbly legged bad Poser animation-looking Philemon from original P1 with his booming 1940s radio announcer voice e: but in seriousness the cutscene I do think was a big loss to remove from PSP P1 was the original pre-title intro, the CGI is dated but the original P1 and P2:IS intros had a very cool slow and eerie atmosphere which was replaced with generic fast paced J-pop anime music videos in the re-releases.

It's funny that the Persona 1 remake doesn't have the Persona 1 battle theme but Persona 5 Strikers does.

Idly, with their recent track-record on Switch, I think Nintendo might have a mild chance at encouraging/sponsoring the work to get PSP EP translated, if only for the prestige in featuring "Persona Classics Collection" during a future direct, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it.

I’m slowly working my way through P1 on PSP and more so than the battle grid and P-level, it's the exp distribution that really annoys me. Especially since Nanjo and Mark start off useless, and Maki turns into the kawaii terminator once you unlock rapid fire. It feels like I'm playing it wrong if I try to dispatch the enemy as fast as possible.

Yeah, there is an extreme amount of jank in P1, it's a very difficult game to like because of all the ways it gets super unintuitive in how it plays.

I've been thinking about how the next Persona game could mess with the gameplay formula and while I know it would be a lot more of a pain to design and balance, I think it'd be really cool if they gave all the party members multiple bespoke Personas to switch between like the protagonist, even if only two per character. The point of the original psychological concept is that everyone has multiple Personas, and 1 and 2 stuck to this, but 3 onward simplified it presumably for reasons relating to balance and iconography. Hell, you could even cut down on the cast size this way, though I'm never really against having a big primary cast in a JRPG.

I'd really love to see multiple personas per character come back, even if in a more limited form. I don't really dislike party members having set personas in 3-5 and I think it makes sense from a gameplay perspective. In Persona 1 and 2, you always had a set party (even if you could make some choices on who joins, you never get to change your party after that point), so being able to customize your party members' abilities to a greater degree is how you get party customization. In 3-5, you just switch out your actual party members instead. So it makes a certain amount of sense that each one has a specific role and set of abilities. Still, I'd like to see persona fusion for party members return in some fashion. Maybe something like everyone except the protagonist has a really limited set of arcana they can use personas from or something, so there's room for customization but within a narrower range. Though they'd probably have to rebalance how persona fusion works in this case, too. In 3-5 you can make some goddamn monster personas and the only thing holding you back at all is that only the protagonist gets to use them.

On one hand, being able to play Persona 5 on the Switch sounds fantastic. On the other hand, the Switch already struggles to handle games from 2016.

Apparently CFB and P5R run on the same engine, so supposedly that points to Royal running alright on the Switch, but I'm still gonna wait for reviews before deciding.

Harrow posted:I'd really love to see multiple personas per character come back, even if in a more limited form. I did feel like in P2 especially, the party members felt mechanically like just empty vessels for the Personas and in my case IIRC I was swapping Personas between characters like every turn in order to spam fusion spells. Not great really Although Persona Q was not great I think the main/sub persona system was an interesting compromise and maybe worth revisiting for other games.

At this rate, every male character in Persona 6 will wear straight pride shirts and vocally proclaim how heterosexual they are while holding hands and making direct eye contact with the protagonist.

It's the same code as Catherine, it will run fine. Not a Switch fan personally (I have one for Fire Emblem purposes and that's it) but I'm happy that Switch users will finally get Persona 5. It always seemed like a natural fit for the platform.

Putting aside the anime adaptations of P3-5, there WAS a standalone Persona anime 'based on' Persona 3 and 4 though it came before 4. It was loving TERRIBLE. It did have Ken and Adachi in it though Ken never used his name. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1161682/

It was absolutely terrible, but it was at least interesting in that it expanded the whole forced-awakening-through-narcotics subplot from P3. And at least it gave Akihiko a more believable follow up than what he got from P4U as a wandering ronin bear puncher guy.

It's not true in Trinity Soul either. Just Akihiko has lost his ability. There are other adults who are Persona users in it. Edit: Actually...it's been a while since I watched it. So maybe they bullshitted some reason why some could, but otherwise it was Teenagers Only. Trinity Soul was kinda stupid like that.
