Revelations Persona: Nanjo finally gets the N-word pass
Despite the localization basically being 4kids tier on crack, I have a soft spot for it just due to how unintentionally hilarious and insane it is. Nanjo gets turned into a cracker, Mark's favorite food is fried chicken, the "I'm white so you know I'm true" line by Elly (which to be fair back then white was supposed to be a metaphor for honest but taken with all the other racial stuff makes it way worse than it was intended), and of course, everyone's favorite superhero
SUPER GUIDO
(he's also Italian and runs a mob racket)
All jokes aside, the PSP version is an improvement over this one but not by much, the PSP version adds a few QoL changes but imo not enough to really make an improvement, at least in terms of gameplay. If you're used to other Megaten games the spell names are drastically different but you can usually pick up which ones are which, and same goes for the item and Persona names as well. In the PSP version you also have to install a patch to listen to the original soundtrack, which fits far, far better for the very particular tone this game is going for, and still holds up to this day as one of the best Megaten OSTs.
All in all, it's still worth playing if you have a twisted sense of humor and want to see what amounts to basically a time capsule but I would definitely recommend playing the PSP version first since it's a far more faithful translation, and the plot is actually pretty solid.
