Persona 2: Innocent Sin:
For those of you who loved playing Persona and its sequel Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, you must know that Atlus failed to port Persona 2: Innocent Sin over to the American PS console. Predecessor to Eternal Punishment, Innocent Sin bridges the story between the first Persona game and Eternal Punishment. Atlus, in an attempt to ease the transition between the two translated games, included a badly written summary (available here), littered with grammatical errors, in the game booklet for Eternal Punishment. However, their summary is insufficient; Eternal Punishment makes many symbolic and literal references to events in Innocent Sin which the summary does not explain. To those who did not play Innocent Sin or know of its existence, the story presented in Eternal Punishment seems absurd as there are no explanations of the significance of these symbols linking Eternal Punishment to Innocent Sin.
Aside from the patchy story, there was less character development in Eternal Punishment because most of the characters, namely Maya, were from Innocent Sin. In Eternal Punishment, because you play as Maya, you do not get to see how she would normally make her decisions as you make them for her now.
In terms of game play, I read, in a review of Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment, that Innocent Sin's control combines parts of the controls from Persona and parts of the controls from Eternal Punishment. Not only is the story of Innocent Sin a bridge between Persona and Eternal Punishment, the gameplay and controls serve as a bridge between the two games as well.
Mission:
The mission of our petition is to gather as many signatures from people who will buy Persona 2: Innocent Sin if Atlus decides to port over to English. The number of signatures in our petition had just past the 50 mark. Let's see if we can get this number above 100. If we can get more petitions, we will submit our petitions to Atlus so that they can see how many people will buy their game if they port it over to America. We must show Atlus that they are losing a lot of money by not translating Innocent Sin.
