Because they're more similar in tone to the mainline SMT series, and they have no social sim aspects to them. They're essentially straight-up JRPGs.

Because no one played Persona 1 on Playstation or PSP and we didn't even get all of Persona 2. They completely skipped Innocent Sin.

Because they're bad. They're basically like gta 1 and 2; liked only by hipsters who swear by them even though in their heart of hearts they know its bad.

No, we actually did eventually get Innocent Sin on PSP. ...However, then they chose not to localize the PSP version of Eternal Punishment.

Meaning, to play the full story officially in English, you had to play the PSP version of Innocent Sin, and then the PS1 version of Eternal Punishment.

Yeah, it's similar to GTA. Persona 3 changed the series pretty drastically. So playing 1 and 2 is nothing like playing 3, 4 and 5.

We got it on the PSP.

And because they are not anywhere near what P3 did. As mentioned they are far closer to SMT than Persona (besides themselves, of course) and their overall quality is pretty low compared to 3 and later. Between the highly antiquated gameplay and just not having any of the things that really made people resonate with Persona over SMT they are essentially just footnotes in the series. Something that people really only play because they are into SMT, or because they want to see where the Persona games started.

Persona 1 is alright if you like DRPGs (which I do). Persona 2 is great though.

P1 has boring ass characters, and P2 looks more interesting but P1 was boring enough that nobody wanted to waste money on another couple remade games they might not finish either.

Still not sure what Atlus was thinking when they changed all the music on the PSP version; P4's J-pop sound doesn't fit the game at all. They could have at least had the classic soundtrack as an option.

I'm guilty of doing that for Far Cry, The Witcher, Persona and GTA lol. I don't think it's fair to count Yakuza though. Fans don't touch the first 2 games because those games got full remakes.

1) Because the gameplay for the games are really dated (especially 2 : Innocent Sin, which is considered one of the worst gameplay systems in Megaten).

2) There is no simple way to play on modern hardware, especially in English.

Your official choices for 1 in English is either the infamous 90s PSX release (which doesn't even include the whole game), or the PSP version which butchers the music.

2 : Innocent Sin was only released on the PSP in English and 2 : Eternal Punishment was only released on the PSX in English.

It is cool music but it doesn't fit the game like the original music.

2 has cool charcaters and a good story, but TERRIBLE writing, dialogue, dungeons, gameflow, battles, loading, graphics, pretty much everything.

It needed a full remake, not that psp one. Stop remaking 3 and 4, and fix 2.
