[edit] Development

The remake of Persona was announced in Japan, as well as the revelation that Shoji Meguro was to be the director of the remake. He is also one of the composers of the music, alongside Hidehito Aoki, Misaki Okibe and Kenichi Tsuchiya. Persona is now branded without the "Megami Ibunroku" title in Japan, and as for North America, the title "Revelations" was dropped and replaced with Shin Megami Tensei.

Changes to the title includes a new opening movie with a new opening song "Dream of Butterfly", sung by Yumi Kawamura, the vocalist for Persona 3. There are also fully animated FMV cutscenes, in which for the North American release, these scenes will be fully dubbed. The UI interface has also been enhanced, taking full advantage of the 16:9 aspect ratio of the console.

The North American localization will retain all the Japanese plot settings, as well all character and Persona names, removing the past localization altogether. This also means that the Snow Queen Quest will be included in the English release. Both the Japanese and North American releases are included with the two-disc Persona Original Soundtrack, featuring new music as well as certain remakes of the original tracks.
