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).
With the current popularity of Persona 3 through 5, rescuing Persona 1 and 2 from their old hardware prisons is a commitment with videogame history and preservation.

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.

Fable: The Lost Chapters
Fable: The Lost ChaptersFable was expanded and rereleased as Fable: The Lost Chapters for Xbox and Windows PC platforms in September 2005. The game was later ported to Mac OS X by Robosoft Technologies and published by Feral Interactive on 31 March 2008. The Lost Chapters features all the content found in the original Fable, as well as additional new content such as new monsters, weapons, alignment based spells, items, armour, towns, buildings, and expressions, as well as the ability to give children objects. The story receives further augmentation in the form of nine new areas and sixteen additional quests. Characters such as Briar Rose and Scythe, who played only minor roles in the original game, are now given more importance and are included in certain main and side quests. Other character-based augmentations include the voice of the antagonist, Jack of Blades, sounding deeper, harsher and more demonic, and the ability to uncover (and resolve) the murder mystery of Lady Grey's sister. The updated edition of the game also applied fixes for certain glitches, such as the "dig glitch," in which the protagonist would move backward each time he used the shovel, pushing him through solid objects and sometimes trapping him.
