Crossing my fingers for the ability to buy multiple items at once at vending machines... damn you TaP machines...
Its the worst version, my brother played it and theres glitches everywhere and the graphics are worse, the controls have 6 seconds of lag and my brother sold it the same day along with his vita.
being sofik is funner than it looks!

Goddamn! I bought & cracked a PS2 (and I had a backwards compatible PS3) JUST to play the UNDUB version of both Personas (3&4), and I installed a CFW in my PSP just to play the UNDUB version of Valkyria 2 and P3P. Guess I'll have to crack my PSVita just to play the undub of this. Sux.
i cant believe this!! me and my sister just got two i-pads for $42.77 each and a $50 amazon card for $9. the stores want to keep this a secret and they dont tell you. go here BidsOut.c Óm
@Raw Why? These games have amazing dubs, is it really worth going that far to crack every console because of that?
But if you like japanese that much...

@OscarGe: As a non-native english speaker, I prefer when voices match the characters. Also I find that English doesn't fit emotionally-strong animated sequences.
I guess Dale was asleep for this announcement last night. I knew we should have gotten more than 1 post about that huge Persona bombshell. Bring on the sexy fanart.
Y'all at Dtoid seem to get hard on for this series. Maybe I should pick it up, I wanna be part of jerk circle.
Damn you Atlus! I finally want a PSVita. I'll be playing final dungeon today again, so much P4 stuff..
@Raw I'm not a native english speaker either (don't really know what this have to do with anything tbh...), but I understand if you don't think the voices match the characters and that you want to play in japanese, if you don't think the voices match. I haven't heard the japanese voices to maybe they really are much better than the english voices.
ahhh i really didn't want to buy the Vita but Persona 4 is one of my all time favorite RPGs so I guess they got me.
Why is it that the Persona team always makes their games better on Handhelds? Why would I even bother buying the originals?
SOOOOO! EXCITED! Now I am 100% going to buy a Vita... I was like 98% sure before but now!
Yay! All the extra stuff is exciting! YAY!
Yay! All the extra stuff is exciting! YAY!
Why can't they just make new games? Why do they have to fuck with something that worked, and get people to feel ripped off for purchasing the original version? Why should I buy Persona 5 if they'll just rerelease it a few years later with a bunch of extra content? And why should I pay full price for a game when I already paid for the majority of the content in the past? These kind of things are terrible and people shouldn't be supporting them.
Hmm, I've never played any SMT or Persona games beforeand guess getting a PSVita is a better choice than 3DS. Besides, PSVita looked more sexier than 3DS.
Okay then time-consuming JRPG, COME AT ME!!

What could have been requested so much? I kind of hope it isn't a female player, because in an improbable nightmare scenario that might give Atlus an excuse to rewrite Kanji as straight and ready to date for a female MC.
Atlus has this port and the anime going now, and I really hope nobody in a high position is tempted to take away one of the few gay characters in gaming.

@Raw Or you could not be a moron.
The english for both those games are good, get over your weaboo tendancies

Because their games are never successful enough for them to just make a new title after new title. Developers do like to stay in business. It's why Sting makes soooo many upgraded ports of their Dept. Heaven games. If they didn't, they wouldn't be making games at all.

Love how Atlus keeps putting out better versions of their games on handhelds. Really makes me glad I supported them by buying both P3 and P4 on day one.
@Renegade
My God, I didn't even think of that.
Anyway, this is pretty awesome news. As long as the gameplay isn't visual novel style like P3P was (which ended up being very disappointing compared to the original and FES), I'm on board all the way.

@Excel - Seeing as Atlus does pretty well by Nintendo, too, I very much doubt it.
What with Devil Survivor Overclocked just out, Devil Survivor 2 out in February and SMT, Persona and Etrian Odyssey games still in the works for 3DS.

I'm still amazed that people manage to craft a mentality in which they feel ripped off whenever a game is improved or receives additional platform support or content. You know we live in a universe in which it takes time and effort to produce these things, right? That a developer can't take new features and travel back in time and retroactively add them to original titles, because it's physically impossible? And that these ports are successful and in demand because people who have different circumstances than you actually like and want them, perhaps more than they want unproven or unpolished new concepts, or because they didn't have the OPPORTUNITY to play them years ago?
These ports don't just magically appear. They need to be ported over to the new systems, which takes code changes. They may need updated UI. There's all kinds of additional content - half as much audio again as the main game, all of which needs to be localized. There are new gameplay features, new conversations and all kinds of crap. It represents a tremendous amount of work.
Now, maybe that amount of work still doesn't seem worth it for you to invest in. That's totally fine! But just because it doesn't represent a worthwhile investment for YOU PERSONALLY, doesn't mean it's a bad idea. And just because the team spent a bunch of time improving on their work, doesn't mean that all the fun and enjoyment you got out of their original game, released YEARS ago, has now somehow been made worthless. That is CRAZY THINKING and you are CRAZY. IN THE BRAIN. ^_^

I know in America Atlus titles are niche, but I figured there must be a much larger audience in Japan given that they're making an anime, a fighting game, and an enhanced port all based off of the same game. And even if that is true, it shouldn't be the consumer's job to to bend over backwards (definitely not the right phrase, but I can't think of a tamer one that fits) to ensure they don't go out of business. I hope once they start developing Persona games for PS3/360 they just release this stuff as DLC, rather than continuing to make you buy a new game for a different platform.

@renegade panda
Holy shit, you made me laugh and I actually agree with you on something! Glorious day this is. Persona brings everyone together. :) lmao

The audience isn't that big in Japan either. It's close to Tales numbers, I believe, and even Namco does what Atlus is doing. The hope is that the new enhanced ports will reach a different audience and bring them over to the series (why P4 is coming out early in the Vita's life). If enough people buy Atlus's games, we won't be seeing many ports.
Looks like the lighting effects are a smidge nicer this time (bloom lighting anyway), and that Rise will have a little more participation in combat. Not enough to have HP mind, but she's actually showing up on the battlefield this time instead of staying out of sight the entire time.

Ports to give new players a chance to play a game they might have missed out on but the work too port a game is not the same as actually designing the game in the first place, but they will sell it for full price. If this thing sells for full price it MUST take advantage of the system it's on and provide new content. If you want to port an old game fine but imagine if psone classics sold for $40?

Yeah, they should take a break, do something totally off the wall, like a puzzle game, one with talking sheep and killer babies or something.
Nah, that would never happen.

It's understandable if you have issues with their pricing scheme - it's always down to the consumer to decide what something is worth to them.
I don't personally have a big issue with this, though, given that:
*It's debuting on a new platform. What is the price for a Vita title anyway - not the same as it was for a new PS2 release years ago, is it?
*It's now supporting some kind of wifi / online functionality - features like that DO take a heck of a lot of coding and testing time and represent a pretty darn big addition to a single player game.
*There are numerous additional features and content that have been spelled out in the news releases; Atlus is well-known for making sure their fans feel taken care of and providing great incentives and pack-ins.
I don't really have an issue with people who don't consider it worth a purchase. I might not get it, myself, as I don't have very many occasions to bust out the portable, and I always forget where I am and what I'm doing in long games if I haven't played for a month or two. I'm more concerned with the mentality of early adopters who feel that developers should "reward them" by, I guess, not polishing their game, not adding new features, and not creating new ways for new people to learn about and enjoy the software. It baffles me sometimes.
