An excellent remake
Absolute must for any die-hard turn-based RPG fans. Original character progression, and television-like presentation. Very high quality remake, and a fairly amusing (though I can't comment how faithful) translation. My biggest problems are with the painfully repetitive soundtrack (especially combat music) and rather unintuitive control mapping for walking around.

combination between the classic and new era
Game play is still original but its adapted a little bit to make it more exciting.Worth for persona fans.(the sountrack is the best as ever).Dont miss the begining of persona legacy.

Most Original JRPG
What is most importan for game - STYLE!!!, and style of this game is very unique, because of outstanding soundtrack and storyline. But controls and gameplay isn't as good as everything else, movements are little troublesome, and sometimes you will have to level-up too long times wich may made you bored of this game. However, i like the idea to negotiate with monsters instead of fighting them.

In result (from 1 to 5 where 5 great, 1 worst):
- storyline - 5
- sound - 5
- graphics - 4
- control - 4
- gameplay - 4

Great Game
It may look basic, but the game has a good story, strategic battles and most important: replayability.

Not only that it comes with a 2 disc OST.

This is what a remake should be...
When this game was first released on PS1, character names were Americanised, character sprites were redrawn to be more "American", scenario and hidden ending were omitted... it left the fans from back then with a wish that one day we'd be able to play it as it was meant to be played.

Years later, that wish is finally fulfilled. Note to people, this is one game where you really have to earn your level ups... not for people who want an easy game and easy-to-follow story.
