This is a travesty! I’ve been a long time supporter of ATLUS and I have every Persona game there is, I even have an imported copy of IS for PS1! I was hoping to complete my portable persona collection with EP on PSP, but what do I get instead? NOTHING! just the lame excuse of “unusual circumstances”! This is a total slap in the face and punch in the gut ATLUS, I completely agree with PrinceofXIII on everything, if NISA can do all they do for the fans, why can’t you? What’s more upsetting is there isn’t even any replies to any of our comments! Need a I make a comparison to NISA again? As of this moment, I have decided will no longer support ATLUS releases from this point onward until there is either a EP on PSP release, or a DETAILED explanantion WHY it can’t be localized. This may sound harsh but I have invested A LOT into ATLUS over the years and all I can say now is…For shame ATLUS, for shame… :(

I do wish the article wouldn’t downplay the extent of the improvements and extras that the PSP version has, writing it off as merely a “port”.

what a lazy bunch of people.

the PSP version is the ideal version, lots of improvements, loading times, ability to switch old and new songs, voice acting and a brand new storyline written by Tadashi Satomi, which reveals what happened to Tatsuya before he meets with the party mid-way through the game.

oh let’s not forget some of the stupid decisions you’ve made over the past years.

i’ll quote lacrimosa00002

“lets recapitulate some interesting moves from atlus: region lock persona 4 arena, no japanese audio in blu ray persona 4 animation, cut content from persona 2 Innocent Sin (psp), no localization Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (psp). is hard to be an Atlus Faithful with things like this, way to go Atlus”

also refusing to put dual audio in your games(P4 Arena doesn’t count, thank Arc System Works for that), localizing 3rd party games(Cursed Crusade, Game of Thrones) instead of your own IP, BS excuses like more cost to put dual audio even though it’s actually costs more if your gonna hire new VA for dub.

i don’t mind dub, but at least give us an option to use the original voices(If NISA can do that, there’s no reason why you can’t)

Atlus US you really screwed this up.

I’m still interested in why the PSP remake isn’t coming.
Not much has changed since IS came out and
unusual circumstances isn’t a good reason.

It’s like being asked who’re you
and your response is to grab a shovel
and start digging a hole.

I hope that the improvements seen in the PSP version of Eternal Punishment *eventually* get sold to us over on our side of the pond rather than *never*. Persona is arguably their most successful franchise, so this is a shocker to see happen, personally speaking.

Celebrates Vitas one year anniversary, releases another classic game with no vita support. Stay classy Sony…

So why again do you want us to suggest our friends buy Vitas? So they can experience the same agony we go through as owners of it??

Not to sound ungrateful but it’s bad enough we didn’t get the PSP version with the missing quest and better translation but now turns out this isn’t even playable on Vita? Double Disappointment..

Unbelieveable. Why even release this without VITA support? What a shock. Just like FFV, there is inexplicably NO VITA SUPPORT for this game. THIS is why your latest handheld is failing miserably. You half-a$$ EVERYTHING. Idiotic…

Morgan has posted that they are aware of the PSP/Vita compatibility issue and are working on it. Here’s the thread for updates: http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-Vita-Support/Persona-2-Eternal-Punishment-PS-Vita-PSP-Compatability/m-p/39652315/thread-id/5946

As others have mentioned, I’m disappointed this isn’t available to play on the Vita. Is it possible that this can be fixed with an update? I’m close to finishing up P4G, and I’d love to start on this one next!
