Haha this kind of needless excess is one of the things I like about P1, people don't seem to mind it in Matsuno games!

Plenty of people complain about Vagrant Story's damage types, and in TO PSP there's like eight magic damage types and three weapon damage types?
One of the most surefire ways to get someone to learn how to enjoy Vagrant Story is to tell them to ignore the affinities and just keep a weapon of each blade type instead, because the affinities are too much to keep track of and weapon switching is a pain in the butt without quick swap.
That's about the part where they tell me, 'that's stupid. i don't want to play this anymore'
Just take it with you.

P1 may have had 345876 damage types, but I think I mostly ignored them by just spamming that one nuclear spell on 90% of enemies.

Was wondering when the OT was going to go up. Good Job CJ
Sad to see such a dim chance for this game to reach US shores, I enjoyed the first one for what it was and the only issues I had with it was the HIGH AS FUCK encounter rate NOT the battle system. Story as well as the characters was great and conversations with the demons during battles was interesting if a bit annoying. Ending made me feel angry, sad and wanting to see what would happen in the sequel. C'MON ATLUS!!
Oh and can anyone make a avatar of
? Would really be thankful.

I'll see what I can do, but it's kind of a spoiler. 
First Kegare Joker down! On a brighter note, if anyone's interested, I'll see if i can cook up some spell translation resources. You'd be surprised how easy it is to read SMT spells in Japanese, since they're mostly written in the simple characters.
@Hecatonchires: You could always get the PSN version, should be a bit easier on the wallet.

EP PSP would look fantastic on my shelf seeing as how I have 1 and IS, and IS and EP PS1, but it's really not worth $70 to me. Give it time, I'm sure it'll go down given how poorly it sold.

I still have a heck of a time getting screenshots working on my CFW, so I can't do anything fancy with EP PSP as a base yet.
In lieu of that, my Soul Hackers resources should help you.
Honestly, if you know what the spells do(items are a no-brainer, you can tell from the descriptions mostly), you should be just fine. The toughest parts will be the Persona creation, since it's hard to tell what their spells are.
Getting the tarot cards is a cinch pretty much.
Mew Seeker's Contact Guide!
With that, it's easy to get any tarot you need from any demon, and make Sumaru City yours.
Did I mention how amazing the world map music is?

Okay, if a rumormonger wants to help me on this, I'd much appreciate it.
I'm sure those are the 'this shop sells [x]' rumors, and I want the most expensive/high quality rumors. Which are they?

That first one is casino rumors anyway, but you will need much clearer pictures if you want Japanese-language help with the kanji. That blurry mess is almost impossible to read when the fine details are important.

I was hoping the non-kanji would help enough to determine which are, say, Rosa Candida's or Clair de Lune.
Mu Continent is a real casino.

Yep, between that info and this rumor FAQ, I'll be good.
The last one refers to Tamaki's magazine contest I believe.
Thanks!
Weird, I guess the 'this shop has really expensive armor' rumors aren't until later.

These arrange tracks are pretty cool, pretty much the complete opposite compared to the IS arrange songs. Does the original songs in IS and EP also show complete difference in style?
cj_iwakura

There's a lot of crossover between the two, but EP does have catchier tracks overall, I think.
I love Kasugayama's music in IS.

So good. Makes me almost want to replay the game on PSP right this second. Of course, I won't as I JUST finally beat the PSX one a few months ago. Still amazing. One of the best world map themes ever.

I also love the downtempo Maya theme. It fits the mood of the game so well.
Just take it with you.

The EP version of Maya's theme is great.

Bought PSOne Eternal Punishment on release day and beat it many years later. Not going to give up hope on the PSP version just yet, especially if a PSN only release could be possible, but then again I haven't read that XSEED interview yet. A shame IS did so poorly in the US due to hardware and being a niche genre/game, so even if this doesn't come to fruition I am still very happy and thankful to Atlus USA.

I found where the Tatsuya scenario is. It starts right after (Club Zodiac)
