Persona 2 Eternal Punishment Coming to PSP

[Gintoki]

Wait, so Innocent Sin is only half of Persona 2? Or what?

Sounds like a huge rip-off to me.

I have the PS1 version sitting on my shelf still, but could never get into it. Maybe time to sell it.

O_O Heretic!

Persona 2 Eternal Punishment is a sequel and it is set in a parallel world where the events of the Innocent Sin did not happen. This time the main character is Maya.

Well, people still have their PSPs, and yeah, stores like Wal-Mart and Target are dropping PSP support like a hot potato, but these games are usually not sold their anyways; the audience for this game would be the type to go to Gamestop or Amazon to buy it, I think, but that is jusy my theory, that is not backed up by much. Though, maybe Gamestops are shrinking their PSP sections as well... I am not sure.

Either way, I think it would do well, but I suppose we should wait until Gungnir and Growlanser release, and how much PSP users are biting.

Oh, so its like FF X-2 or XIII-2 then.

Further to yuki's point, not only do the events in Innocent Sin not occur in the parallel world Eternal Punishment is set in, but the game actually takes place at a different time. Eternal Punishment actually begins months after Innocent Sin would have taken place. It's kind of like a "what if" type retelling of story.

[Dusty Starr]

I think that it is a little more complex than that, but I have not looked into Eternal Punishment's story in a long while, and ever since I heard the news about Innocent Sin on the PSP, I have been trying to avoid it to forget spoilers.

Either way, each game is a complete game with its own resolution. Innocent Sin is not half a game, or an incomplete game, and neither is Eternal Punishment. :3

Too much to fit in one game, I think. Or maybe they thought of the second game after the first one was done.

[GeekyJuuu]

They both take place in the same world, but in no ways is IS only "half" a game. Worry not, it's a complete story, just one that comes with a "what if"/continuation as the others said in the form of Eternal Punishment. They both have enough content to warrant being sold as single titles. ^^

I think some people are confused...Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment are definitely connected, but not to the point where you need to play both games to understand stuff. I can't really explain how they're connected without ruining stuff, but trust me when I say it's more than just a 'what-if'. If you've beaten Innocent Sin, you can kind of guess how Eternal Punishment can be a continuation without *actually* being a direct sequel.
