My drive to finish all the persona games has waned somewhat after finishing persona 1 and its manga.
Persona 2 IS i managed to finish as its my commute game and Persona 3 and 5 i haven't touched for a few months.
Overall the story is definitely one of the more wacky ones in the series but easy to enjoy. Gameplay is the PSP version of the game is so easy it practically plays itself, didnt have to make a new persona once just relied on story given personas and made it through. There's a lot of side content i missed but it didnt really seem that worth doing other than for completions sake the game does drag on a bit after a while. Also that side content is so hidden away discovering it organically would require talking to basically everyone after each story dungeon which is incredibly boring.
Still so far Persona 1 is my favourite out of all of the games along with its manga
I've git a recent psp iso translation I wasn't aware of any others. Can't remember what one i picked up either but it seems ok so far.
A patched version, I think that might be it. Good to know
