Don't get me wrong: I'm grateful for every soundtrack disc Atlus sends our way as a game pack-in via their Atlus Spoils program. I love having the music to listen to separately. But it always seems that I'm missing some of my favorites in these selection discs. I'm glad to say that this will not be the case for the upcoming PSP game Persona, a remake of the PlayStation role-playing game that kicked the popular series off.
Atlus sends word that Persona will be packed with the full two-disc soundtrack, composed by one of my favorites of all time, series composer Shoji Meguro. If you watched our E3 interview on Persona, you'd know that the soundtrack has been totally revamped for this new version. The songs we've heard are fantastic, and have us even more excited to finally get the game. I cannot wait to hear the pharmacy song!
More great news: this version of Persona will include the Snow Queen quest, content never available before in North America.
As you see above, Persona will come out as a premium-boxed package, complete with the game, two music discs, and the shiny collector's box. This all drops on September 22nd, my birthday. Atlus is giving me what I've always wanted for my birthday.
Be sure to check out the first English screens for Persona after the jump.

And then to raid the back catalog!
So sorry for the double-post for one article.
Snow Queen's in there, but I don't know about the penis demon. Play Persona 4 if you want to see that. :P
But I need this or I will explode.
I totally know what I'm getting.
Life story aside, I'm probably bound to give this game another try.
