Fortunately, you're not missing much by playing them on PSP. Personas 1 and 2 are identical on PSP as they are on PS1 (Their origonal Release) You WILL be missing out on something if you play Persona 3 on PSP since it is toned down (it's the same engine as Persona 4 if that gives you a reference point). But the PSP version does have a second mode with a female MC which adds a bit of other things (they recommend the male MC first)
i have both 3 and 4 on the ps2, so i dont need to worry about that
as for the female mc, it doesnt really matter uwu
I tried the first one, original one on PSOne.
I gave up.
There was no mini map back in the day and the town map is huge so I never knew where the school or whatever was...
It think Persona 1 on PSP has a mini map though right? XD
the psp one does have a minimap but its really hard to control
