The success of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 and 4 have sparked a renewed interest in Atlus' long-standing RPG series and brought in a whole new audience that likely never gave the games a chance in the past.

About this Game
A remake of the first entry in the critically-acclaimed RPG series, which gave the world a completely new schism of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise. The PSP version features a completely redone localization and content never before seen in North America. Combined with gameplay enhancements and additions new to the remake, fans will have the chance to experience the first Persona game released in North America in a whole new way.
Persona is a philosophical game that takes place in a world close to our own. It is a departure from the typical swords and sorcery, and it delivers a tale of dreams, the purpose of life, and who we are as individuals. In Persona you have modern weapons like an Uzi and an AK-47. And instead of always fighting monsters, you are given the opportunity to talk your way through a confrontation. By talking things out, you can earn components of spells the more components you have, the more powerful your spells become.
