YUS!
cute.
Yes, yes you do. Bestest storyline out of any of the Megami Tensei games.
Now you've got my expectations up. Getting EP on PSN day one.

Play IS first tho
and join our steam group!

Do not play EP before IS (assuming you haven't played IS).
Wow, setting the bar high with that statement!
Of course, it always comes with an IMO, but I'd rank Persona 2 among my favorites for story in a video game. The villains in particular are amazing.
And yeah, I agree with Flux, probably not the best idea to play EP before IS. It is possible, but you'll be confused and reliant on flashbacks. ><;

I could agree with Soul Hackers as #2, but to be honest I can't rate Nocturne up there in terms of an actual story because of the minimalist approach it takes. There's a lot better even among the Megami Tensei franchise.

The core story is minimalist, but the motives of the characters puts it way up there. The sparse dialogue characters like Yuko, Hikawa, and Chiaki get are more intriguing than paragraphs of dialogue from most JRPG characters.

Shin Megami Tensei NINE best game ever, up there with Majin Tensei Ronde
Better a minimalist approach than all the inane babble that a lot of JRPGs spew just to make themselves look deep.

Someone here's a photoshop-guru, I hope? I'm going to start work on the Soul Hackers OT soon, and I want it to be slightly shinier than what I can do.
Hahahaha.
Better negotiations than tarot cards.
Anything that requires me to successfully negotiate more than once for a demon/persona is an awful system. I don't mind the act of negotiating, but just give me what I want out of it. Cut out the middle man, essentially.
May the tarot cards forever stay in the fire that they were tossed into to die. >.<
And you don't really have to guess. There are set patterns to what is and isn't inherited. The only negative element was junk skills, and those are gone with Persona 4 Golden.

sophia pls
Eh, I agree the nego's was reptitive but it was nice to be able to avoid battle AND stock up on cards for fusion if you knew the right answers. Basically once you knew the two (or three) right answers and fall back answers to get them happy/eager for cards/joining you you were golden.
No! Cards! Bad! Gone! Forever! Shoooo!
I do like the negotiations for the other stuff, it was really just the farming of cards needed. I wouldn't mind seeing negotiations returning for P5, and expanded upon.
P3/P4:
You know with all these shadows suddenly developing personalities here and there, I wouldn't be surprised if Negotiation came back that way.
BUDDAH PLS

I just like negotiation ;_;
So do I, but when it comes to the tarot cards? no, just no. Shit sux, keep it away.

Tarots were much easier to gain in p2 and a much less...dumb system. It is worse in P2

Persona 2 is coming this week?
Did it say the price in the article? Any chance it'd be 10$?

Are you say that its easier and better to get cards in one system while at the same time saying its worse?
That's a contradiction

PS1 games are either $6 or $10, but I'm not sure if the article specified which one EP will be

Yes and no price has been announced yet. I'm guessing in the 5.99-9.99 range.

I'd wager $9.99 given the game's voice acting and generally high value(and quality).

Sweet.
Shoutouts to Sony giving me $10 PSN credit, now I can buy a game I'll probably not play for a while, lol.

Personal guess here: I'm thinking EP will be $10 rather than $6, because usually the $10 games tend to be RPGs (MGS and RE1 aside, off the top of my head)

Awesome!
Eternal Punishment is coming a lot sooner than expected. I've already played it, but I cannot wait to play it once again.
Eriko and Katsuya <3. They are so underrated.
I doubt Ghostlight are going to bother with a PSone classic, and I doubt Atlus are going to bother with them. It seems Atlus USA only look for a local publisher if they want to get a physical copy out. Failing that, or if they don't even want to do a physical release, they normally just get the game rated and digitally released in PAL territories themselves.
