Persona 2 IS Remake

[Aeolus]

Gentlemen...Behold!

Atlus. The ball's in your court. (And while you're at it, how about that Growlanser remake?)

[xXMelancholiaXx]

It's already being discussed in the Megami Tensei thread. 

[hell_snake]

I think it deserves a thread of its own.

What we have so far:-

It's in-line image time.

The enemy's down, let's finish this!

And new character art.

If you guys are going to keep making a new thread everytime something note worthy comes out then there is no reason to have a Megami Tensei thread. In fact I think the moderators should sticky the Megami Tensei thread to cut down on potential thread redundancy. But that's just my opinion.

It is a new game, therefore it deserves an official thread. It's easier to find information specifically for this game here than to dig through unrelated discussions in the Megami Tensei thread.

I always saw the Megami Tensai thread as a place to ask random questions such as is Kanji actually gay or as a help thread outside of the helper monkey part of the forum.

Well I'm not going to make a fuss about it. You guys can do whatever you want. I just think making new Megami Tensei related threads is unnecessary.

The new opening is certainly the most visually tame.  I don't know if thats good.
Gameplay reivision will be a nice added touch.
Is this game going to compilate the two (Innocent and [argh, brain fart] the other one) Personas??

I personally hated the character designs for Persona 2.  Maya's heart boobs are tacky, the blue boy is a cybergoth megaman, and the main guy stepped out of a time machine from the 1970's.

I am reaalllyy looking forward to playing nonetheless.  Atlus is pretty good at bringing the SMT games out of Japanland.

Nope. Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment are going to be sold separately. They wanted to put the two games in one UMD or something... but, they couldn't do it.

Still, is better for Atlus to make more money this way anyway.

[Starmongoose]

I don't mind buying the game separately.

They are totally different games. It's not like it's Persona Heartgold and Persona Soulsilver here.

It should be noted that an EP remake isn't even official yet, partly because of the UMD thing. Meguro wants to do it though. I bet Atlus wants to see that IS sells before they decide EP is worth it.

Or they're teasing the hell out of us.

I'm with you. We seem to be crating too many threads these days. It's like "Yoichi Wada sneezed" and we create a new thread.
Example, The new Phoenix Wright vs Professor Layton, instead of creating a new thread for it, we could've just renamed the one about "Capcom and Level 5 cooperation".

Anyway, I liked the opening. I think it's great to see they redone the artwork, because the one in P1 did feel a little dated. If it releases in PSN I think I might try the Jap version, especially to see if I can keep up with it but it depends on how much voice acting there is.

Your face is tacky!

The characters from P2 are some of my favorite character designs in a video game.

Katsuya is all kinds of awesome.

[Dice]

Katsuya is all kinds of awesome.

MMm-mmm, those chops do all sorts of things to me...not.
Some of his styles I do like, especially monster/persona design I find especially intuitive.  The characters never really struck a chord though.

[kyuusei]

The designs have been hit and miss with me. I like Maya, but I agree on the heart boobs being tacky.

I do like Katsuya's design though. But yeah, the demons are my favorites. :P
