ペルソナ2 罰

I think the "translation" is basically a port of the original 2000 localization of EP by Atlus, not a whole new translation. Apparently there's some drama about a member of a fan translation team going behind the team's back and releasing this without any warning, but it seems to work well and saves from Innocent Sin transfer across regions.

The P2 duology, SMT 1&2 and Xenogears are really ballsy games that prove JRPGs can actually be thematically good if the developers wanted. They're not amazing games mind you, but they are ambitious in how they treat philosophy and psychology.

I'm playing through Persona 3 now and even if as a game it's overall better than all of the ones I mentioned and I enjoy it a lot, I miss the scope, characterisation and more grounded/mature atmosphere of P2. I'd take that any day over all the anime tropes I gotta get through constantly (though the evoker is cool ngl

Havent got to the 60 sp per spell section which im assuming this will have like innocent sin did but this is so much better than that mess, writing, gameplay, even the encounter rate doesnt seem as bad

remember when megaten was cool

the best persona game

bless this game for existing
