Re-posted from Hacking sub-forum:
As you may or may not already know, Atlus has decided to pass on localising the 2nd part of the Persona 2 duology for PSP citing “Unusual Circumstances”. Instead, they have published the original PS1 version of the game on the PSN store. Now, I admit this version of the game has a solid translation despite a few minor inconsistencies and name changes, this is not the game that the hardcore fanbase was expecting and it has disappointed me as well. As a gamer living in Europe, I don’t have access to this game (through normal channels), and the PSP edition has been greatly enhanced from the original PS1 release, including a new scenario to play through.
Therefore, I call upon the members of this forum to pontificate whether or not a fan translation of the game would be possible and would anybody be willing to take part.
I am not creating this topic to boast that I have the ability to contribute to such a project or help with hacking etc. The truth is I know only tourist Japanese and even less about hacking. I created this topic to provide a meeting place for people to voice interest or discuss the possibility of a translation being possible. Furthermore, I should add that a potential translation could be possible with little work as the existing translation could be transplanted and cleaned up, with only the Tatsuya scenario and menu’s requiring the most work.
So, Persona fans unite! We have nothing to lose…except our favourite video game!
Thanks for reading!
