If Persona 4 acted as your introduction to the Persona series, you may be curious about what you've missed by now, and rightfully so: the entire series offers just as much unique gameplay and multi-layered characters as 4 does. We heard a rumor earlier this month that the first game in the series would be coming to the PSP ... and now we know for sure that it's the truth!
Famitsu reported that Atlus is working on the title, which is described to be a complete remake of the original Playstation game. New features will include more save points, more cutscenes and a difficulty setting. If you don't know anything about Revelations, I urge you go read about it here -- this is going to be a great reason to give your PSP some face time.

FUCK
YES
Hopefully this sells well so they can remake Eternal Punishment and Innocent Sin for PSP D:
Now, please get rid of Mark.
Also for folks that started late, 1 and 2 are VERY different from 3 and 4, and conform more to more standard jRPG conventions that you may or may not be sick of by now.
The series has come a long way, that's for sure.
I think a remake would be better, since those early PS1 graphics might not look so hot on the PSP. If Atlus update this game and give it the Persona 3/4 design makeover, that would entice a lot of people to buy it.
I'm not sure the FPS dungeon crawler style of PSP Persona (released only in japan), would be enough to tease PSP gamers, in the same classic way that Dark Spire on DS might (I could easily be wrong). Gamers need a bit more than that, especially on PSP, and with Persona 3 and 4 riding high on such, we'd like to see the same on PSP.
And of course, some more

And Mark won't be in this because he's a poor edit of another character. He doesn't actually exist in the Japanese game.
It's also -highly- unlikely we'll see this translated by Atlus USA.
It seems like there were a lot of references to the first Persona in Innocent Sin, so I really would like to give it a go sometime. It seems like they were a lot more closely related than 3 & 4 were to the rest of the series. Any word if it's going to be based on the original version or the Americanized version?
Repeating success on PSP should be easy for Atlus, since there's little competition for sweet games these days.
If PSP Revelations remake this does well, I'm sure we should get Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment somewhere down the line. Amen to that.
I can see that somewhere in the future my roomate will find me passed out on the floor ODing on Atlus love.
Really now people.
Really now.
On PS2, P3 and P4 graphics are pretty good for a late gen console game. They'd surely transfer nicely onto PSP when tweaked.
Don't give up on the PSP now, people.
That's great news.
Now I have a justifiable reason to get a PSP.
I've been a Megaten addict since starting P3 last year. I only have a few hours left to go before I finish. Then it's on to one of the titles in my backlog:
Persona 3 Fes - The Answer
Persona 4
Digital Devil Saga 1
Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army
While I'm glad that the game is being re-released, I wouldn't recommend the original to anyone but hardcore RPG addicts. I'm so glad that they are including more save points, because there were NONE inside dungeons, making each exploration very frustrating. You'd have to leave before your SP ran out, run past random battles on the world map to reach 1 of 2 save points. Period.
Eternal Punishment fixed this by allowing you to save anywhere, which was great!

Yeah, its still isometric, but I know it's a good game. Roll on April.
