Persona 2: Eternal Punishment 2000

Is it still worth playing?

Maya Amano, a magazine reporter, investigates the Joker Curse in the city of Sumaru, where rumors and wishes come true, in this 2000 role playing game for the PlayStation. It takes place in a parallel world where the events of Innocent Sin never happened, and Tatsuya is the only person who seems to remember them. Maya and the people who join her can summon Personas, and battles are turn based, with demons as the enemies. Dungeons are seen from above, as in the first game, and you can turn off battle animations. Conversations with enemies are simpler, with one skill per character, and pairing party members gives different results. A separate Rumor system lets rumors spread around the city and influence events for better or worse. A rumor system that can turn events for or against you still lets what you do in the city change what happens next.
