(so i can't find this quote from Satomi Tadashi referencing learning about Shadows in Tatsuya's Scenario, and there's zero references to shadows in it, so i've changed it to "Demons" (because it DOES change what you know about demons)) Tag: sourceedit |
(Purple has nothing to do with Persona Q, it's Eternal Punishment's theme color.) Tags: Visual edit apiedit |

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment is the third game in the Persona series on the PlayStation, following Persona 2: Innocent Sin as the second chapter of an overarching story. Eternal Punishment focuses on protagonist Maya Amano. The theme song of the game is "Change Your Way", by Elisha La'Verne.

Maya Amano is sent to write a story about the JOKER, when she meets him in person. Philemon grants Maya and her friends the ability to summon Personas, an ability that they use to hunt JOKER.

- Ulala Serizawa: Maya's friend and roommate.
- Katsuya Suou: A Police detective investigating JOKER.
- Baofu: A Taiwanese extortionist.
- Tatsuya Suou: Katsuya's younger brother. The protagonist from Persona 2: Innocent Sin.

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment PSP
It was announced on the 29th of February that Eternal Punishment was scheduled for a PSP release on the 17th of May 2012 in Japan. Directed by Shoji Meguro and as before, the new soundtrack is interchangeable with the original one. Instead of Shigenori Soejima, Masayuki Doi of Trauma Center fame handled the character artwork. The new opening was done by Mad House.
According to Famitsu, there are going to be a couple of new additions/improvements to the game:
- Loading times are greatly improved
- A fast-forward option is included for event scenes, as requested by players in the prequel
- On/Off Option to remember the memory of the cursor in menus
- Option to change the speed of the battle, like “Speedy”, etc. With the highest option, battles take marginally less time to complete than the previous Persona games.
- There is a new scenario starring Tatsuya and featuring a woman with long purple hair and a cat named Zula.
- The player can change the color of the menus: gray, red, blue, yellow, pink, and purple in that exact order, corresponding to Persona, Persona 2: Innocent Sin, Persona 3, Persona 4, Persona 3 Portable (female route) and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment.
Satomi Tadashi (Scenario writer of Persona and Persona 2) states that the new scenario will change everything the player knows about fighting Demons and "won't be pretty", suggesting that it will be very dark.
Due to "unusual circumstances", the specifics of which are unknown, it could not be localized anywhere outside of Japan, however it has been announced that a fan translation is in the works.
