“All Out” = Reference to Persona 3: Portable (PSP) new group attack.
Back in 2009, Persona, which had several versions was finally ported over to PSP. Included was the “Snow Queen” quest deleted from the North American previous versions.
Later on, Persona 3 ported to PSP as Persona 3: Portable, including the rate option as having the Protagonist as female. This included story lines from Persona 3 and not Person 3: FES (Aegis quests).
Now Persona 2: Innocent Sin has been release for the first time in North America. Atlus has apparently not said if Persona 2: Eternal Punishment will also get the new console treatment.
Persona 4, now enjoying a new fame with an anime series, will be ported to the new PS Vita. Other Persona 4 spin offs may appear for PS3 and Xbox 360.
Persona 5 is rumored to be under development for PS3 and Xbox 360.
So, what are next gen console fans missing in Persona? If Persona 2: Innocent Sin does well, perhaps Atlus will consider making Persona 2: Eternal Punishment. Persona 3: FES could be made as a download add on for P3P, especially since the Protagonist does not really appear except for some battles. Maybe even cut the female option here, and just port the original version.
Making Persona 4 for PS Vita could be a mistake. It depends on whether PS Vita will get the same negative treatment as the 3DS. Atlus could have made a version for PSP. Consider Devil Survivor, remade for 3DS. It’s sequel is DS only.
