Earlier today, Atlus announced a new line of merch themed around the first two Persona games. That announcement broke a lot of hearts thanks to some awkward phrasing that made it sound like the OG titles were getting a modern re-release, but those hopes aren't entirely dead. Atlus has applied some new branding to those PS1 JRPGs that's almost got me willing to believe something bigger is on the way.
"Persona and Persona 2: Innocent Sin / Persona 2: Eternal Punishment are coming to Amazon," Atlus proudly exclaimed on Twitter. You can probably see why a number of Persona fans were annoyed when they realized that the publisher meant a selection of merch – shirts, mugs, hats, and the like – based on those games is now available rather than new re-releases.
