Oh well, I don't own a PSP anyway.

The reason? Some changes that, while understandable, make my PS2 version the superior one.
First, the camera is at an higher angle, so everything appears to be smaller as your POV is from higher up.
But more importantly, it seems like they basically replaced your character with a freakin' cursor. You move it around to point at the people/objects you wish to interact with.
I've seen it during the "life sim" sections, and in the entrance to Tartarus, in the section where you select your party members.
I can't imagine it also being like that when dungeon crawling, but still, I'd rather move around my character than point at things with a cursor.
So yeah, while it's nice to have a new character to choose, it kinda defeats the purpose if you don't see it, now does it?
I'm still wondering if this'll include the "The Answer" section exclusive to FES, though.

Plus, we're getting more social links, characters, and the enhanced battle mechanics from P4.
If this doesn't include The Answer, I can easily see it as a download-able addition later on, perhaps.

But I won't shell out more cash to re-buy the game if I feel I already own the superior version. I'm just not a big fan of pointing at things, I guess.
More social links, while nice, seems like overkill, though. I barely have enough time to properly grow those I'm already invested into, and the game keeps on throwing new ones at me.
As for the improved battle mechanics, I can't comment since I haven't played P4 yet. I bought it at the same time I bought P3, but I'm not touching it until I'm finished with both Journey and Answer.

The beat and all that is great but the singer is quite terrible same with the lyrics.
Am curious if this will also contain FES in it or if its just the updated P3 vanilla.
Either way am gonna pick it up regardless.

Am a bit let down that it seems they are going for a more menu approach instead of the hands on walking around type of experience. Guess its how they want to make it more "portable" to save time and what not.

As long as character interaction doesn't suffer, I'm fine with it; Persona 3 didn't exactly have the most...detailed or animated character models after all.

I really want the P1 remake to be successful on the PSP so that Atlus decides to remake P2 as well, ideally fusing both titles into one awesome product.

They absolutely deserve a chance to stop for a while to try to rake in some of the cash they've earned for building a fan base. But what blew me away with P3 was how it did things I just didn't expect from the game. I really hope they can rekindle that sense of wonder and curiosity from me again.

also, does this mean we can date all the guy characters? That'd be a nice change

Instead of porting over a game I've bought both versions of already, how about porting Persona 2 first? Much appreciated.
A ginormous fan,
