Persona features new soundtrack and expanded dungeons

The upcoming PSP version of Persona is not quite a full remake, but it's not really a port either. The debut trailer revealed new anime cutscenes for the game, but that's not all that's changed.

Siliconera reports that the PSP version of Persona will also add a new rearranged soundtrack by Shoji Meguro. Persona 3's Yumi Kawamura will perform the vocal tracks in this new soundtrack. Dungeons from the Sebek Chapter and Snow Queen Chapter have been expanded, and gameplay has been tweaked throughout. There are multiple levels of difficulty, and battles will go by much faster than in the original game.

Extra save points have been added in addition to a "quick save" feature to make the experience more palatable for on-the-go play. Finally, the city map has been revised to make things easier.

Very nice! I love the way they kept the original feel, but upgraded the graphics. I am -so- looking forward to this.

I just bought Persona 4 for the PS2 (on my PS3) two weeks ago and have been loving it, so this is something I'm very excited to see on the PSP. Persona 4 is my first experience with the series, though, and I'm finding it really difficult when trying to defeat the bosses (and it's set only on normal mode.) Are all the Persona's this hard, or maybe I'm missing something? Took me forever to defeat the bird and prince boss (trying to avoid a spoiler there), and now I'm stuck on the next boss, the Contrarian King.

I'm so glad there's a save-anywhere feature on the PSP version! There's no way I'd buy it if there wasn't--I often end up staying up very late playing P4, just to find a save point so I don't have to replay everything again! Seriously, shouldn't it be standard for all games these days to have a save-anywhere feature? Many gamers these days have jobs and families to take care of, so we need to be able to save at a moment's notice. Developers...please pay attention!

I know, I think it was about 2 hours between saves at times in P3. It was somewhat frustrating. I know they want a game to be challenging, but having to re-play an hour long portion of a game is just annoying.

Please, please, do not change the color of his hair this time around. I HATED the color they chose.

Haha I got the original ps1 game and the second one. I hope they remake the second persona on psp too! well I got p3 and p4 on release dates and loved em'. I hope theres a p4 fes edition too.
