Persona 2/YMMV


 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: Remember the complaining over Persona 1 remake's soundtrack? Atlus heard your complaints. Persona 2's remake lets you pick either the new soundtrack or the PS1 soundtrack.
 * It's finally being released in North America. SO MUCH REJOICING.
 * Eternal Punishment is coming to the PSP as well, even though I Knew It!, YAY!
 * Author's Saving Throw: The North American version of Eternal Punishment is a peculiar example, as it reverted the original Persona's characters back to their canonical Japanese surnames. For sake of continuity, however, the characters' first names were left Anglicized. The localization team tried to compensate for this Continuity Snarl by retconning some of the bigger translation goofs; For example, the revelation that "Guido Sardenia" is actually an alias for Guido Kandori, the previous game's antagonist. He's still named Guido, due to Nate and co. retaining their western names, so Eternal Punishment breaks even and just calls him Guido Kandori.
 * Complete Monster:
 * Okamura is one of the most unlikable characters in the Persona series, even though she isn't completely unsympathetic due to her unrequited love for Jun's father, her actions in the series are just unforgivable
 * Fridge Horror: In EP when the gang get trapped in the Kimon Tonku formation, there's a TV Producer who is quite rightfully scared about being trapped. We don't see her again after the spell is broken and everything returns to normal. Was she still stuck under the influence of the spell?
 * Moral Event Horizon:
 * Tear Jerker: A flashback shows Maya's father leaving her at the shrine. After telling her that dreams can come true if she wishes at the shrine, she gives him a good-luck charm Mr. Bunbun. He tries to cheer her up saying "Mr. Bunbun will laugh at you if you don't stop crying." He then leaves, with the adult Maya, who is looking on pleading with him not to go. The entire team ends up in tears and Tasuya can allow a Cry Into Chest option for Maya. After calming down, she then tells the team a poem about death and being forgotten. The entire team then tries to cheer her up, saying that they will never forget her again. Cue the ending...
 * The Woobie: Jun... and pretty much everyone else, really.
