Laying down the cards: the Persona PSP changelog

So what’s new in the PSP remake for Persona? On the outset, we can already figure that Atlus is taking a page from some of the good elements that have worked for the more recent Persona games. And with that in mind, they’re tweaking the original for a better experience on Sony‘s handheld. We’ve already outlined some of the details, but here’s a comprehensive list (new info and some old) of what we can expect in the game.

So what’s new in the PSP remake for Persona? On the outset, we can already figure that Atlus is taking a page from some of the good elements that have worked for the more recent Persona games. And with that in mind, they’re tweaking the original for a better experience on Sony‘s handheld.

We’ve already outlined some of the details, but here’s a comprehensive list (new info and some old) of what we can expect in the game.

• All animation sequences will be remade by the Kamikaze Douga studio. There’s also going to be some new scenes as well.
• The BGM of the original will be rearranged by Shoji Meguro, with backup vocals done by Yumi Kawamura.
• Revamped interface to make use of the 16:9 widescreen support.
• The scenario is fully intact, with additional dungeon floors for both the main story line and the Snow Queen Chapter. There’s also going to be more puzzles in the dungeons.
• Encounter rate has been revised for balanced gameplay, and there’s now an option to set the difficulty level of the game.
• Battle animations can be skipped, battle load times have been reduced by 2/3 the rate of the original.
• More save points have been included, plus a quicksave function.
• New pre-rendered map of the town, without any random enemy encounters.
• A revised storyline with oodles of joy and love to induce that “warm and fuzzy feeling” you get when confronted with a puppy wearing a blue bowtie on its neck.
