Shin Megami Tensei: Persona

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do: There's some leftover graphics from the original PSX version of Persona 1 that were left in the files of the PSP version unused, try looking into those

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona is a remake of Revelations: Persona for the PlayStation Portable. While the original was notorious for its rough English localization, this remake reverts all of the strange decisions made by the American localization team of the original, as well as fixing up the Engrish.
