History Trivia / Persona2

** One was complete for the PSP release of ''Eternal Punishment'' on July 26th, 2022. This is more an extensive edit of the PS1 version's official localization than a true fan translation, though the extra scenario translation is based on a Tumblr translation that was reproduced with permission.

* DummiedOut: The ability to create and download new dungeons has been taken out of the English release of the ''Innocent Sin'' remake.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Supposedly, the player could have influenced [[spoiler:Joker's OneWingedAngel form by spreading rumors describing the Joker as angelic or devilish]]. The [=NPCs=] that reference this are still in the game, and both the concept art and a sprite of [[spoiler:the Joker's "devil" form]] still exist, but there's no way to influence his appearance.
** A find in ''Eternal Punishment'' almost 20 years later--apparently, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Megaten/comments/adh35e/unused_data_inside_eternal_punishment_has/ Jun was originally planned to be the protagonist.]] Or at least a GuestStarPartyMember.

* TroubledProduction: Iwakura Productions' FanTranslation of the PSP remake of ''Eternal Punishment'' was in development for years, but development fell apart at the last hurdle due to several factors, eventually [[https://iwakuraproductions.wordpress.com/2022/07/27/persona-2-eternal-punishment-psp-update-2/ leading to it being canned]] after it was preempted by [[https://github.com/sayucchin/P2-EP-PSP/ a similar patch]] that came out of nowhere in July 2022. Family deaths and the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic ate into team members' free time, but that was surmountable; what was ''not'' surmountable was the Russian main programmer [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Megaten/comments/w9ete4/comment/ihxcj3e/ losing access to his programming tools]] as a result of the invasion of Ukraine, [[https://twitter.com/cj_iwakura/status/1507894310406168577 causing beta testing to stall]]. Team leader CJ Iwakura claims one of Sayucchin's team ghosted Iwakura Productions several weeks prior, but found nothing plagiarized from his project despite the inherent similarities in content and noted that the only difference script-wise was that this project used UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics, [[https://twitter.com/cj_iwakura/status/1553799865284665349?s=21&t=VSF7cNGObRH8fnXhfzjtzQ which official Atlus localizations use but Iwakura dislikes]].

** If [[https://youtu.be/m7Gk-onicEc the trailer]] contained in ''Eternal Punishment'' is to be believed so was an anime adaptation titled ''Another Self'' planned of these games at some point but for some reason never materialized.

** There is also one currently in the works for the PSP release of ''Eternal Punishment''.

* TheOtherDarrin: For Maya, Creator/WendeeLee replaces Creator/LaniMinella in the US for the PSP version.

* WordOfGay: A lot of this. The character designer, Kazuma Kaneko, supports the pairing of Jun and Tatsuya, and he also presents a pretty good case for them to the scenario writer in the interviews. And let's not even go into the drama CD--baby chickens are a ''really'' big deal.

** Also, Tekkaman Evil and Blade can potentially team up to fight the Nazis!

* BadExportForYou: The worldwide release of ''Innocent Sin'' for PSP massively cut down the Theater sidequest; the Quest Creation feature was removed, and the official DLC quests were not localized.

* WordOfGay: A lot of this. The character designer, Kazuma Kaneko, supports the pairing of Jun and Tatsuya, and he even managed to ''slightly change the scenario designer's own opinion of the pairing in one conversation.''

* FanTranslation: ''Innocent Sin'' got one a few years prior to its UpdatedRerelease, and not only was Atlus aware of it, [[ApprovalOfGod they gave it props for quality and accuracy.]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Supposedly, the player could have influenced [[spoiler:Joker's OneWingedAngel form by spreading rumors describing the Joker as angelic or devilish]]. The [=NPCs=] that reference this are still in the game, and both the concept art and a sprite of [[spoiler:the Joker's "devil" form]] still exist, but there's no way to influence his appearance.

* CrossDressingVoices: Jun in the English version, for some reason. The Japanese [=PS1=] releases of ''Innocent Sin'' and ''Eternal Punishment'' gave him a reserved but definitely-masculine voice, while the [=PS1=] dub of ''Eternal Punishment'' inexplicably gave him a female voice actress despite being released nearly a year after the original. This is, however, completely averted in the UpdatedRerelease of ''Innocent Sin'', where his current dub actor's voice matches the original much more closely.

* NoExportForYou: The original release of ''Innocent Sin'' was never released outside of Japan, whilst ''Eternal Punishment'' was also released in America. The ''Innocent Sin'' remake for PSP was released worldwide, but the ''Eternal Punishment'' remake has not been released outside of Japan, making it the only ''Persona'' game never to receive a release in Europe in some capacity.
