The PSP just got more personal -- Persona 2: Innocent Sin has an official release date of September 20 in North America, and it is available for pre-order, for $40, right now. Pre-orders from Gamestop and Amazon will get a free 10-track CD featuring original, remixed and arranged songs from Shoji Meguro, who composed Persona 3 and 4, and more recently, Catherine.

Atlus also released a new trailer for Innocent Sin, which can provide you an atomic series-nostalgia-bomb above.

I love these games but for some reason I can not seem to finish them.

That's the stupidest name for a video game I think I've ever heard of. Innocent Sin? Why not just call it "Evil Good."

@chispito
You've never heard of the yin yang?

@chispito
The original Japanese subtitle was: 罪 ("tsumi", sin)

The second part's subtitle was: 罰 ("batsu", punishment)

I'm sure it's meant as an allusion to the Bible. The other Persona 2 was released with the subtitle Eternal Punishment. Think about the Garden of Eden story. A sin can be committed with the most innocent of intentions.

@Fynn They also couldn't just say "Sin and Punishment" because then Nintendo would have to come down on their ass :P

@chispito
Many children are capable of innocent sin and that makes perfect sense because if you can believe in sin you can certainly justify children unknowingly sinning as innocently sinning.

@chispito
I'd say Original Sin was an example of an Innocent Sin in action. Adam and Eve had no knowledge of good and evil, so they could not have known what they were doing was bad.

Likewise, small children often have no idea what they are doing, and that it's wrong.

Sin = guilt. If you break the law, you are guilty of breaking the law. If you are not guilty, it is not breaking the law. It's that simple.

As we get closer to the Vita, it'd be wonderful to start getting PSN coupons with physical copies. It'll never happen, but a man can dream.

Yay! 8D

Oh man I'm sure having all this nostalgia for a game that was never released outside of japan

Gee, that's funny, my physical copy of Persona 2 in English on the PS1 seems to argue with you.

They changed the subtitle and are updating the visuals, but it is a game that we've had in the US for over 10 years.

@Jennacide
Your physical copy of the English language Persona 2 may be becoming senile in its old age (it happens). This isn't the same game. Think of this as the original Persona 2 and your copy as Persona II-2. Eternal Punishment is a direct sequel of this release, which has never seen any official translation until now.

@Jennacide

I love when people act like dicks, then get shot down and made to look like a huge arse.

Congratulations!

didn't think this was gonna get localized! YAY!

ooh shweeet! although im interested into what happens to the boy in P3 D: does Elizabeth ever save the poor lad?? :( P5 please. lol

anyway ill be buying this on psn for when i finally get me a vita < 3

I'll be getting this on day one! I've been waiting for this game for a long time now, and it'll be awesome to complete the Persona Portable trilogy (that's what I'm calling it). Seeing as how I'll probably never be getting a Vita, that's probably going to stay that way. I'm just glad that there's a couple more games for the PSP on the way before the system hangs up its gloves for good.

@FinalFantasyXIIIsucks

PSP surprised me. It was pitched as the go-to console for portable action games in 3d, but really, what it became was the go-to console for portable RPGs.

@mrantimatter You aren't kidding! Being a huge fan of JRPGs myself, the PSP has really become one all time favorite systems because of the fact that there's just a surprisingly large library of those games on it. Heck, with this, Fate/Extra, Black Rock Shooter, and (maybe) Final Fantasy Type-0 on the way, the PSP is going to go down as perhaps the only system to rival the PS2 in the number of JRPGs on it.

Looking forward to the music in this title. The first Persona remake had AWESOME remixed audio.

Tranvestite Student: "I feel like I belong here"

Any word on whether or not they're planning to port Eternal Punishment to PSP?

Eu release please

Aww snap, I just put about 15 hours into P3P in the past few days. SO addicted to this franchise right now.
