Revelations: Persona English translation

女神異聞録ペルソナ · Megami Ibunroku Persona · Megami Ibunroku Persona: Be Your True Mind

A full English translation of the original Japanese PlayStation Persona, with both the SEBEC and Snow Queen routes intact, plus optional patches for 60 fps dungeons and faster battles.

What's translated

Everything the player reads: both story routes (SEBEC and the Snow Queen quest that the 1996 Western release cut), every demon negotiation, battles, menus, items and skills, the Velvet Room, the overworld, the casino, name entry, save screens and all endings. The spoken movies get English subtitles, and the opening quote and epilogue poems are redrawn in English. The translation keeps the Japanese names, places and honorifics and follows the terminology of the 2009 PSP version for skills, items, demons and Personas.

The main script is machine-assisted; for players who prefer it, the author also offers a separate build that uses the PSP release's script (see the psp-script branch on the project page).

Optional extras

Two extra patches add quality-of-life changes: smoother movement in dungeons (up to 60 fps) and on the overworld, double-speed Persona and skill animations, a battle fast-forward on START, the PSP-only Clean Salt and Emergency Exit items, Estoma and Traesto as skills, and a return to the title screen from the Agastya trees. The "easy" variant also halves random encounters and doubles experience, Persona points and money. They work best with the emulated CPU overclocked.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of the first Japanese release (SLPS-00500; the later Rev 1 disc is not supported), following the instructions on the project page. Version 1.0.5 is marked as a beta; 1.0.4 is the previous stable build. It was tested in DuckStation.
