If it's a straight port, wouldn't Sony of America block it's release? (like they did with Tales of Eternia)

I doubt it's a straight port, even Disgaea 2 Portable got new characters and scenarios. But we'll see...

@Undying So? I got the game around the end of last summer and still enjoyed it more than tons of RPGs that came out on current gen consoles. My favorite RPG is older than this game. I do agree though that some things didn't age well, but if those are fixed in a remake then it should translate fine. Actually even if they weren't its still a great game, and I'm sure alot will enjoy it.

I'm just saying that Persona did not age well. Persona 2 on the orther hand would have been a better choice.

Some games age well like the 16 bit final fantasys and some game don't like Persona and Golden Eye.

But lets just all hope this doesn't end up like suikoden 1+2 for the psp....only 14k copies sold.... (this is under the assumption this is a port, if this game is true)

Yeah. Never played the original Persona but I heard from a 1UP podcast that the combat in Persona 1 is very slow and tedious compared to the relatively fast paced battle systems Persona 3 and 4. It also doesn't help that the localization was considered horrendous. If the rumor is true, they will probably make changes to the games. Atlus would also be smart to relocalize the game not only to make a signicantly better translation but also, get the original characters back that were in the Japanese version. It would also help to make the combat faster and less tedious.
