The original was epic. One of the very few DS games that actually touched me (Another Code:Two Memories, anyone? That game made me CRY. And maybe Devil Survivor a little too).
If this is half as good as devil survivor, it'll be WICKED. Awesome games coming out recently, pokemon, warioware and now this! As soon as they all get patched (dont know about this game atm) I won't be coming out my room for a couple months.
I actually just picked up a copy of of the first Persona on PSP and I am loving it. I also really enjoyed Devil Survivor.. so lets hope this is good. Testing on my firmware now.
