Great idea! Can I borrow the games from you?

Seriously though, I heard that the original games are nearly umplayable, that one will end up grinding for money and stuff very early in the games. That is enough to discourage me from playing it. Humpty Dumpty, you need to know 2 things:

1-You can. I got Persona 2 Innocent Sin for the PSP, just use a PSP emulator (recommend PPSSPP) and get the iso.

2-The originals were never nearly unplayable, this isn't a Bethesda game. The originals just never reached the US or EU until much later, both on the PSP as remakes, translated, some bugs fixed, some things altered a bit, perfectly playable.

Or in the case of Persona 1, americanized almost everything, including the names and 1 guy changed to a black guy, a translation with questionable quality at times, and 1 entire sidequest that altered the ending being removed (though note: I'm talking about the PS1 version, called Revelations: Persona in the USA. The PSP version is much better in those aspects).
