Persona 2: Eternal Punishment PSP additional scenario

The additional scenario (アディショナルシナリオ) of the PSP remake of Persona 2: Eternal Punishment is a side story supplementary to the main plot which details the adventure of Tatsuya Suou. The new scenario features new characters and a more novelesque presentation with heavy monologues of Tatsuya which is unusual to the main plot.

The story is divided into three chapters and each is unlocked and accessed via Igor in the Velvet Room as the player has progressed the main plot at certain point. It should be noted that chapter 2 and 3 are only unlockable on Kei Nanjo's route. If the player chooses Eriko Kirishima's route, only the first chapter is unlocked before the branch point which requires the player to choose between the 2 companions.

Tatsuya is fighting alone in the first 2 chapters and his persona is fixed to Apollo only. The rest of the party joins Tatsuya in chapter 3 and is free to change personas. All items, tarot cards and money are inheritable between the main and additional scenarios, so it is recommended to prepare enough recovery items before proceeding as there is no shop for supply during the additional scenario. However, the player can retire from the scenario while not in battle or cut-scene at any given time, the items earned from the additional scenario will still pass down to the main plot.

Trivia

 * Tarot cards of the Fool Arcana, which is generally very difficult to acquire, can be easily obtained without limit by abusing the retire function in chapter 3.
