Al, type in "persona 2 english patch iso" into google. Then thepiratebay will come up. Click on the cached piratebay link called "[PSX] Persona 2: Innocent Sin (English translation) & Eternal Punishment". Don't just click on the link. Maybe it's just me but pirateby sucks and every other day seems to have problems with spyware, popups, and exploiting java. Not so much for me, since I'm a firefox man and don't understand people who aren't, but my gradpa is an internet explorer S.O.B. and regularly gets on piratebay to download country music albums, so I have to MALWREBYTES ANTIMALWARE my grndpppy. I usue btjunkie 99.99999% of the time but I can't find the patched INNOCENT SIN on there, so... enjoy
MORE IMPORTANT NEWS:
http://gemini.aerdan.org = group doing the trans.
The story, rooms, shops and menus are all completely translated. Chatting with demons is partially translated. In-maze text is both undumped and untranslated. It's, oh, 65% done according to various boards. IT WILL BE FINISHED, THOUGH. That's the best news. It can be played now, for the most part (what exctly do they mean by "in-maze text"?!). Also, they say it will be compatible to play on the PSP.
I LOVE the Shin Megami Tensei games. BY FAR my favorite rpg's ever, despite thier flaws (I didn't find Nocturne as difficult some people -- though I did die quite a few times, usually for stupid reasons -- but I didn't like the few parts where you were attacked by an unskippable, IMPOSSIBLE boss as soon as you leave the save room. I almost had to restart my game at one point -- no way to level up, no way to get new demons.. but as soon as I left the room, one of the horsemen attacked me. He killed me about 8 times.. I was about 45 hours into the game, at least.. I finally killed him BARELY -- I also don't like how if the main character dies, it's game over! -- but I was very frustrated with the game after that. I beat Nocturne in about 65 hours; amazing game, THE ABSOLUTE BEST MUSIC AND ATMOSPHERE OF AN VIDEO GAME EVER MADE (next to Ico)... I had bought it for $20 -- with soundtrack -- and sold that baby for $90!)
You do know Shin Megami Tensei 1 and 2, as well as the game IF... were enhanced and remade for the PS1, right? I actually have SMT1 and 2 (actual copies I found at a pawn shop -- and have played a little bit, but can't get very far).. I also have Earthbound for the Super Famicom, though I don't have a Super Famicom... a local pawn shop had a HUGE box of Japanese games, and a Japanese ps2, as well as some Final Fantasy DVD's and all kinds of other stuff.. probably 70 games, mostly fighting and RPG.. Onimusha 2 with some weirdass music video.. me and my best friend bought it.. $100. I'll take a picture of all of it sometime. We got it before KATAMARI DAMACY came out here.. and Katamari was in it, which was amazing. It came with this AMAZING Final Fantasy book with TONS of art (did you know there was.. maybe still is... a Final Fantasy weekly magazine in Japan? How insane is that?)... me and my friend regularly bust out the Japanese King of Fighters '99 and, strangely, Street fighter ex3 haha... I love SKULLOMANIA...
(penis demon!)
There have been quite a few cellphone only SMT games, which would actually be fun, and make sense (what with ll the cellphone nonsense inherant in the Persona 2 games)
KING FROST! Look at all the little Frosts! Reminds me of that Lady Gaga dress with all the Kermits!
I just love these games so much. XENOGEARS is, flat-out, my favorite RPG ever (never really got into Xenosaga -- anyone know if they're worth slugging through? Played part of 2 and thought it was horrible)... I love the religious themes, the DARK AS HELL narrative, the unlikeable characters, except the main characters who are VERY flawed and kinda weak and regularly use and abuse their party.. that's kinda like SMT, too.. main characters are generally weak and/or abusive.. they use people.. no pretty boys (until the very-flawed Persona 3)
Lemme post this so you can start geting persona 2..
