Elmofongo: ....Never played any of the Persona games.
What makes the games unique?
JudasIscariot: The first two Personas allowed you to talk your way out of fights, had a first person perspective in the dungeons so you had some dungeon crawling, one of the halves of the second game is not available in the EU because reasons...
The third and fourth entries basically streamline the combat, introduce the Social Links so the games become kind of like dating/hanging out with your friends simulators, you have one dungeon to do your crawling in, you can knock down enemies and score 1 additional attack on them and if you have all the enemies knocked down you can do a group attack.
The first Persona game only has that 1st person view for dungeons. The two chapters of Persona 2 use isometric 3D, and all games were released internationally in some media, by now.
The 1st half of Persona 2, Innocent Sin wasn't released outside of Japan the first time around for the PsOne but was remade for the PSP to meet an official international release not long ago.
Sad irony, it is the 2nd half of Persona 2, Eternal Punishment that didn't leave Japan shores this time for the PSP remake, only its PsOne Classic made it internationally..
BTW, YOU Judas are the "déja-vu boy" right NOW as I swear I had already wrote the same words to you on the same topic, I tell you! :o
