Shin Megami Tensei: Persona

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona (2009)

Genres:Role-playing (RPG)
Game modes:Single player
Story: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.Show more

I would love to play OG one. And make sure it has both Japanese and American soundtrack. Not sure about localizations since I find the localization funny. Atlus should publish this game on GOG because it does have an official PC port that was sadly only in Japan.
went on a LONG ramble on the megami ibunroku page, but my additions relating to the psp edition are all as follows; the UI may be boring, but it does make for a far more accessible game, the localisation is brilliant and gives every character so much depth and time to shine, sqq is a brilliant route fleshing out the characters sebec gives less attention to (and nanjo,,, nanjo gets everything), the atmosphere (w an OST mod) is still unparalleled in this version (w the PSP OST it's still got an eerie vibe, albeit you have to imagine naoya's got his bloody headphones in all game), and the voice acting is SO good. here, personieeeee! w/o a remake coming anytime soon, this game going up on GOG would be so much better than nothing, as well as an accessible starting point for new players. a toggle for old and new osts would also be great,,, but i totally get it if it's a straight port. the game in and of itself will be a pleasure to play on PC finally <3
I bought a PlayStation Vita solely to play this game and its direct sequel(s), and I do not regret that choice at all. From the addicting gameplay loop that only works because it’s dated to the surprisingly thought provoking story, this is a game I wish more people would be allowed to play.
Persona is and always will be the greatest JRPGS. I have all the Remasters and remakes on Xbox(physical and digital) since P5 Royal came out, it would bring all the fans instant joy if the first game had a remake or a remaster for this very first instalment, hopefully on next-gen consoles.😁

Love the Persona franchise, not the first I'd played in the series or my favorite. However I still have fond memories from playing it, and this is where one of my all time favorite series began.

The original 3 persona games are vastly different experiences from the modern 3-5 and especially their most recent ports. Curious fans should at least have the OPTION to check out the original 3 without having to resort to ROMS and fan translations (no hate against them, but when the series is this popular, we shouldn't NEED to resort to the goodwill of hard-working fans).

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

Lost Odyssey
Lost OdysseyLost Odyssey is set in a world in which a "Magic-Industrial Revolution" is taking place. While magic energy existed in all living creatures beforehand, it suddenly became far more powerful thirty years before the beginning of the game. Because of this, it has affected society greatly, with devices called "Magic Engines" harnessing this power for lighting, automobiles, communication, and robots, among other uses. While previously only a select few could wield magic, many magicians gained the ability. However, such progress has also caused two nations to develop new and more powerful weapons of mass destruction. The kingdom of Gohtza and the Republic of Uhra (which recently converted from a monarchy). Uhra is building Grand Staff, a gigantic magic engine, while the heavily industrialized Gohtza actively pursues magic research of their own. A third nation, the Free Ocean State of Numara, remains isolated and neutral, though it is falling into disarray due to a general attempting to stage a coup d'etat. Uhra, at war with Khent, a nation of beastmen, sends its forces to the Highlands of Wohl for a decisive battle at the start of the game.
