Story:Persona 2: Eternal Punishment is a role-playing video game developed by Atlus, and chronologically the third installment in the Persona series. Eternal Punishment takes place in the fictional Japanese city of Sumaru, and is a direct sequel to Persona 2: Innocent Sin. Taking place a year after Innocent Sin, the game follows reporter Maya Amamo as she investigates the Joker Curse, a malign phenomenon where people's wishes and rumors are coming true and causing chaos. During her investigations, she and others who join her gain the ability to summon Personas, personified aspects of their personalities. The gameplay features turn-based battle gameplay, where characters use their Personas in battle against demons, and a separate Rumor system, where rumors spread around the city can influence events in the characters' favor.Show more

best character writing in the persona series hands down, not a competition, nobody else could even get close save for megami ibunroku persona. how do i even start? this probably isn't the game to put on GOG first (both p1 and p2is have info this game sorely needs in order to be enjoyed at its best; either or is fine, but going in w/o either is a recipe for disaster), but it absolutely needs to be on GOG as an example of some of atlus's best writing of adult characters exploring what it means to discover who they are years after they chose their path in life. coming of age is a moment in time, but growth is a lifelong process that means there's always room for better, always room for change. every character in this game has regrets and grief, and they want to become better. they embody a range of feelings towards the many parts of themselves; one character rejects the person they were bc of a life-altering trauma, only to ignore that their 'new' self is rooted in a desire for revenge, w nothing after that catharsis to live for, leaving them a shell of jaded bitterness and snappy one-liners all so they can run from their suicidality. another character leaps from vice to vice, unhappy w the life they've chosen but feeling trapped in it so they can help those around them, ignoring their own misery. the main character's writing is wrapped up in facades and reading btwn the lines, and if you look hard enough, she's living for everyone else so she won't have to face herself. these are compelling characters unlike anything atlus has done since w the persona series; it's no wonder ppl keep asking for another game w an adult cast. i can't recommend this game enough, especially to those w discontent in adulthood or eager for a different take on the jrpg formula. this game is Different. i have my gripes w it, but there's no denying it's something special, and should be preserved and enjoyed by so many more gamers given its niche status on PS1 in the west. GOG, all i ask,,,!
The best classic persona game. Great characters, improves the mechanics of the previous entry and an amazing story. Would love to see this be brought back and made playable without the need for an emulator.
An amazing game I had to play in the PS1 after finishing other Persona games. The gameplay Is good AND the characters and story are a must, everyone should give this game a true.
This was my first entry into the Persona series and introduction to the Shin Megami Tensei universe, which still holds as one of my favorite game franchises of all time. Picked it up back in the day just because the artwork looked interesting and I had no idea what I was in for.
The art, story, characters, humor, atmosphere, music, and gameplay were all refreshingly unique and interesting in a way that changed how I viewed games. It was the beginning to a life long love for the whole Shin Megami Tensei universe of games.
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).

Shining Force Gaiden: Ensei - Jashin no Kuni heShining Force Gaiden is a turn-based tactical RPG. Battles take place in square grids, and each unit occupies 1 square. Units can belong to one of two sides: allies (controlled by the player) or enemies (controlled by the computer AI). Each unit can move up to a fixed amount of squares along the battlefield, determined by its Move statistic. Depending on its location relative to enemies and to allies, a unit also has the option to attack, cast a spell, use an item, search (if adjacent to a treasure chest), or stay and do nothing, all of which end the unit's turn.
Some commands, such as equipping or dropping items, don't count as actions, and the character's turn is able to continue. The order of the turns is determined by the unit's agility score and a random seed. Units can use offensive actions, such as physical attacks or offensive magic, only on units belonging to the other side and can use supportive actions, such as healing magic, stat-enhancing magic, and items, only on units belonging to the same side.
This game (together with Shining Force: The Sword of Hajya) was later given a remake named Shining Force CD, released on the Sega CD. This remake also saw a western release to both North America and Europe and the full english title was "Shining Force Gaiden: Towards the Root of Evil".
In 2013 the Game Gear original game got ported to the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console (Japan only).Fantasy
