GameCyte Writes:
"Apart from having to miss out on Yggdra Union's cinematics when one is in a hurry, the game offers a long and comprehensive list of features that allow gamers on the go to stop playing, and start again, whenever the situation warrants. The PSP's inherent "sleep" feature will obviously allow you to stop and start playing at your leisure, but for those situations when the batteries are about to die, Yggdra Union offers the "suspend" feature, a must for any portable title: The player can save a single mission-in-progress to the memory card, allowing them to pick up right where they left off even if the system needs to be completely shut down. But, what if you need to take a break for days at a time, and resume after you've forgotten what you were doing? Yggdra Union has you covered - at any time, on demand, the player is able to look up the battle's current objectives, consult easy-to-read, no-search guides to his cards, items, and weapon advantages, or even replay any of the tutorial cut-scenes he has witnessed thus far."
"By providing these tools, Yggdra Union allows players to give themselves a refresher course whenever they need, and offers an admirable level of portable-friendly game mechanics while still delivering an epic (though unusually cute) story and battle system for strategy enthusiasts. By dodging a number of potential design problems, Sting and Atlus have managed to deliver a title which allows players to lose themselves for several hours in the ever-changing battlefields of Fantasinia, yet still hop off the train halfway through the war. If you enjoy SRPGs, Yggdra Union has a lot to offer, and is worth checking out."
Atlus fans confined to Sony’s duo of handhelds shouldn’t feel slighted over this week’s generous eShop savings, as a mountain of sweet discounts have spilled over to the PSN store this week as well.
Agreed. 20 bucks can score you a few hundred hours of excellent gameplay with this deal.
If you're new to the series I'd start with Persona 2: Innocent Sin as it's a lot more polished and enjoyable than the original.
PlayStation Blog - "Money. It’s like a baby in a burning building or a snail in the middle of a busy sidewalk; pretty much everyone wants to save it.
Since nobody wants to be the jerk that steps on that poor, innocent snail, we (the fine people at Atlus) are dropping prices on our PlayStation Store library of PSP system titles, not unlike the PS Vita’s undocumented ability to drop smaller articles of sub-clothing. We’re calling it…"
woohoo for people who don't own these great games.

their sale came too late, i already bought 6-7 games that went on sale in the past 2 weeks, i would have bought some of their games over these, but now im stocked up. ill buy them later but :((((((
GamingUnion: "It's a well known argument that JRPG fans haven't really had much in the way of home console hits this generation. Only recently have publishers begun to announce highly anticipated titles such as The Last Story and Xenoblade Chronicles – albeit only in Europe. Now I've heard this complaint many times and what I find is that many a JRPG fan simply don't bother to look elsewhere, especially when that elsewhere is a portable device. Sony's PSP and Nintendo's DS systems are breeding grounds for the genre, where many traditional, as well as experimental titles, can be found. One such title is Atlus and Sting's Yggdra Union: We'll Never Fight Alone."
I knew about this game sincw its japanese launch.
And let me make this clear. The consoles are not doing well in japan. THATS WHY THEY ARENT COMING OUT IN BULK for the consoles.
BUT considering there place theirs more japanese rpgs on them than any system in history
