You, the hero, are part of a group of high school friends who, after playing an occult game called "Persona," pass out and awaken with the powers to summon the Persona demons themselves. It all ties into a secret plan from the nearby SEBEC corporation to open a gate to the demon realm, and naturally, the kids get wrapped up in it and try to get to the bottom of SEBEC's motives. Persona on PSP is a remake of the original Revelations: Personagame for the first PlayStation, and though it looks largely the same, it has been smoothed over with better, less pixelated graphics and an improved battle system.

The Nerd Stash: "The rarest PSP games of all time are some of the most underrated titles with niche gameplay styles and huge fanbases."

Demon negotiation is a Shin Megami Tensei staple. Ever since Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei was released on the Famicom in 1987, players have been able to talk with their supernatural enemies and attempt to get them to join their ranks. Each game offers its own variation on this unique form of communication and recruitment, but Shin Megami Tensei: Persona has one of the most interesting and realistic approaches to the mechanic.

How Atlus’ localization of the popular Persona games have helped the JRPG make a resurgence in the West.
NIS America has always done a great job of localization and has helped the genre as well.
Never got into Persona but so glad to see the series making it's way to the US with such polish.
