I can't find a single english copy of this game for under 100$
Meanwhile, moonrune versions are 20-30$

Persona is a popular series and of course people want the "old school" entries.
If you don't know japanese to play the original, you still have options, like modchipping your playstation (why isn't your ps not modchipped by the way?), or emulating, or playing the PSP version.

Because you can easily emulate it or even have exactly the same experience with a burned copy? That's the only way you're going to play Innocent Sin afterward in English anyway - or you could learn to read Japanese as I'm sure the moonies will soon very condescendingly suggest.

That's how it is with ps1 jrpgs are, you have to be ready to pay the price. You either can buy something boring like wild arms for $20 or pay $50 or over for a actually good game.

Not a persona fan myself so my information may not be the best but I believe that version of P2 has a lot of censorship and a overall lazy script. I believe the psp ports are said to be better, also has both ofvthe P2 games over just the one. Unless you want that specific version try the psp ports.

Some people like physical copies of the games they love. I emulate normally but sometimes I just love a game and want a real copy. Fuck off gramps.

Then cough up $100 if it's so important to you. Shit. People spend $100 to play these online games with the service fees and the dlcs and the micro-infractions or whatever but they have no choice. However you decide to play it I suspect it's not going to actually make you happy either way.

I do have it emulated, I just own phsyical copies of every other persona game and EP is the only one missing. I'm actually trying to learn moon, but my kanji knowledge is still minimal and I'm too pussy to attempt any jrpg at my level.

So just buy the Jap versions and feel like you "have" them. As I said before, there is no official english version of Innocent Sin so just get matching japanese copies of the P2 set, even if you play them in English like some gaijin.

>> No.4093698

It's because Persona is a meme franchise, but only started to earn that status with 3, thus making the first two games on the rare side relative to demand.

Do you lack basic comprehension or something, do you think I'm OP? Why would I reply to myself you dumbass? All I'm telling OP is tough luck, if you want something be ready to pay for it.

If that is too complicated for you to understand tell me and I'll try rewording it so you might actually be able to understand it.

With the huge release of persona 5 (amazing game by the way) persona 1 and 2 will only get more expensive. I'm glad I bought them years ago.
Yes, it's a meme series and yes, it's one of the best RPG franchises around. It's cringy to see persona fans that don't know what shin megami tensei is.

In your case there's clearly no reason. In my case none of that bothers me. I have a copy but play everything off backups so that doesn't even matter to me as far as my enjoyment of the game. But it does give me a bit of enjoyment to know that some little faggot feels there's no reason to live because he doesn't own some shit I have packed away in a box somewhere.
