Sexy sexy.  Now if only I had an extra year of Japanese under my belt.  Fuck.

I'm quite sure this will get a US release, though.  The game was really popular here, so it'd surprise the hell out of me if we never saw it, especially since the original Persona got a PSP remake that's out here already.  I'm picking that one up for Julia and I, but I'm torn about Persona 3 Portable.  I won't be able to play it in Japanese for a good while yet, but I don't think Julia is going to have any interesting in playing through the game a third time, so I might just get the JP release and let it collect some dust until I can actually comprehend some of it.

Normally I wouldn't get all that excited about a desk calendar, but it would be sort of awesome to have since the game is supposed to take place in 2010.

I don't think I'll get this if it comes out to the states.  I loved the game, but not enough to buy it again.  There would have to be a lot of new content or something to get me to buy it.

I know there's some, but I have no idea how much.  Also, you can play through the game as a girl now, and it changes some of the character relationship stuff for that (like Elizabeth gets replaced by a male counterpart), but again, no idea how much that changes things (though I like the girl's character design).  The only other thing I know about is there's supposed to be a super-ultra-hard mode that puts the hard mode from the original game to shame.

I mostly want it because I always wished the game was portable when I played it, and I really didn't get very far despite how much I was enjoying it.  If I actually had this portable and was getting language practice while playing, I'm pretty sure nothing would keep me from finishing it barring breaking my PSP.

Just an FYI, this has officially been announced as a North American product by Atlus.  Hooray for English!
