gave a long-winded ramble on the PSP version of this game's page, but i'll add a few points here just for the sake of the PSX version. porting the 2011 PSP localisation to this version would easily make the battle system more accessible, ironically enough, given the speed at which battle takes in the PSP version. yes, battle thrives on auto (setting up and executing) in innocent sin, but the snappy UI is sorely needed for anyone w jrpg experience. i was decently inexperienced w jrpgs when playing p2is:psp, and as such, had no issues, but i do know this is a decent run-killer for newsona players coming across to the old games. innocent sin is a fine place to start, imo, when it comes to the oldsona games. i started with innocent sin, oddly enough, and despite some out of context moments w yukino mayuzumi, innocent sin goes out of its way not to spoil the player on the events of p1. sure, some moments will lack punch, but it's far better than eternal punishment (which is still quite mild). if any game was to be ported first, i'd honestly argue innocent sin should be that game, purely given the stellar story and tight-knit cast. this game has a lot in common w persona 4, the black sheep of the newsona franchise these days, but i'd say innocent sin has a lot of underappreciated joys, same as p4. there's only a few really noticeable differences from version to version, but atp in time, i don't think a certain endgame boss's appearance is going to put off potential players. if anything, it's prescient commentary on the world we live in, and the nature of conspiracy and truth getting stretched to its limits as communication takes flight. this game has quite a few y2k notes, and when you take plot elements like those into account,,, innocent sin becomes timeless in a way its creators likely never expected. in order to learn from history, etc etc... anyway, wonderful game. recommend it highly. think it'd fit right in on an accessible PC library like GOG!

The Persona franchise is legendary, and all games in it should be preserved for easier access. Persona 2 in particular is very beloved, yet it's not as commercially accessible as 3, 4 and 5.
Esse jogo tem uma história bem interessante e intrigante,pelo menos pra mim,além de gráficos bem bonitos pra época e uma gameplay interessante,o que rende boas horas de jogo

Please make it the original PS1 version and not the PSP version. The Original felt darker and more ominous in tone. The only problem that I could see with this would be translation.

The original 3 persona games are vastly different experiences from the modern 3-5 and especially their most recent ports. Curious fans should at least have the OPTION to check out the original 3 without having to resort to ROMS and fan translations (no hate against them, but when the series is this popular, we shouldn't NEED to resort to the goodwill of hard-working fans).
Those games also need your vote!
Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories
Disgaea 2: Cursed MemoriesDisgaea 2: Cursed Memories is a tactical role-playing game and the sequel to Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. It was re-released for the PlayStation Portable as Disgaea 2 Portable in Japan and as Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days in North America and Europe. Fifteen years ago, a powerful Overlord by the name of Zenon appeared in Veldime and cursed its human population. Since then, all its inhabitants have become demons and are to remain that way if the curse was not broken. However, a young man named Adell was the only human unaffected by the curse. Wanting to save his family and return them back to their true form, Adell decides to seek out Overlord Zenon and defeat him. The gameplay in Disgaea 2 builds directly upon that of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness; players control a party of characters to do battle on a 3D isometric grid map.

Dragon Warrior III
Dragon Warrior IIIDragon Warrior III is a top-down role-playing game where you travel around the overworld, caves, castles, cities and other locations while battling random encounters, buying equipment, and talking to people. You and your party members receive experience when they beat up monsters and level up with enough experience, increasing their stats. The game features a day/night cycle - as you travel, day slowly changes to night and vice versa; shops are typically closed at night. You begin with control of just the main character but can quickly recruit three more members to your party. During the game you can choose to drop your current characters and recruit others at any time. The recruitable characters are divided into six classes: soldier, fighter, merchant, goof-off, pilgrim and wizard. The game has a unique job system, giving you the ability to switch your hired characters' classes after they have achieved at least level 20 in their base class. Characters can switch to the other beginning classes, as well as the sage class, which is not available at the beginning. When a character switches classes, they lose all earned experience points, and half of their stats, but retain all the abilities of the previous class. In this way, you can create powerful combination characters that are able to cast spells and fight effectively.
