Both versions have an MSRP of $39.99, but only the physical launch copies will include
the game's soundtrack on 2 discs, all packaged in a premium oversized outer box.
About SMT: Persona
The rumor going around St. Hermelin High School holds that if you play the "Persona"
game, you can see what the future holds for you. When a group of students-some eager,
some skeptical-tries the game out, they experience something quite different. Before
long, the city is turned upside-down and demons are roaming the streets, and only
the students' newfound power of Persona can set things right again.
Whether you pursue Takahisa Kandori and his abuses of the power he wields as SEBEC's
president, or whether you delve into the curse of the Snow Queen that has plagued
St. Hermelin for decades, a deep, modern, psychological tale awaits. Remember your
true self, and free the tortured psyches of others…
Key Features
* More than the same old JRPG — Dark, philosophical, and complex, Persona sets
you up in a modern day Japan that has gone into chaos. Demons run free, and you
and your team must navigate corruption, mental frailty, and an alternate version
of your world to bring your reality back into order.
* A second chance on PSP — Offering a second opportunity to experience the beginnings
of the acclaimed Personaseries, this remake boasts a fully relocalized script, revamped
user interface, faster battles, expanded soundtrack, and new in-game movies with
voice work added just for the North American release.
* Unique tactical opportunities — The inner selves known Personas are your key
to progressing through the adventure, adding skills and incredible depth to your
battle tactics. Expand and improve your collection through the Demon Negotiation
system that offers spell cards that you can later fuse into new Personas.
