I bought this because I played Persona 3 FES on Playstation 2 & It was just fantastic. From Social Links sim life dating, to dark hour battles with your dorm friends! I love how it has action, comedy, and how realistic it is. You learn about your social links past and I honestly was so happy you can be a girl in P3Portable so it makes the game more fun to experience guy social links. I didn't dislike anything about this product because you get to catch a glimpse of Persona 4 in this game already, (if you haven't played Persona 4) You can finally guard, control party members too! (makes life so much easier in the game) Overall, it's worth it! If you're a big persona fan! Get get get it!! ;) Ps- Careful, you will be hooked!! (I am... still) haha!! :)
This game has an awful description on the back; had we not been interested in the graphics just from the display cover, we might have passed it up. It's a good thing we didn't. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable is one of the best RPGs available for the PSP. In the game, you play two different modes / characters. One is a boy and the other is a girl. The character you choose will affect the characters you meet throughout the game. You will not meet the same exact characters as you would in the other mode so keep this in mind. In every day life, you take control of the character day in and day out, going to school, making friends, building relationships (social links) and trying to get a girlfriend or boyfriend. Along with this, you must build personal attributes like intelligence, courage and charm. These affect the gameplay accordingly. To build these, you can go to karaoke, work at various stores, go to movie marathons with friends, study, use items and more. There are several activities you can engage in to accomplish this. Outside of your every day life, you are a persona user that battles Shadows at Dark Hour (Midnight) to keep the Shadows from preying on the minds of humans. Very few people can enter "dark hour" and so, as a result, you are somewhat of a super hero without the fame. The overall objective of the game is to defeat 12 Boss Shadows in order to destroy the Shadows all together so that you can eventually return to a normal life. When you battle, each of your companions will have one Persona which is essentially an overglorified version of a Pokemon that fights for you when summoned. You, however, will have multiple personas and you will be the only one to do so. Because you have the opportunity to build your persona collection to as much as 12, you can not only collect these monsters or beings but you can also "fuse" them to create more powerful personas or personas of a different class. There are many classes of personas and each class is affected by a relationship you have in your normal life. The better your relationship with a person, the better off your personas. Each person has a special ability and its best to keep an arsenal at your disposal. For most of the game, you spend your time training in a dungeon called Tartarus which has more floors than you really want to know (we're currently at 101 and we've still got quite a ways to go) but the floors change constantly so the layout and rewards of each floor are never the same. This means you can go to floor 25, leave it, then come back and it'll will be laid out differently and items and rare items can be found on it once again. The levels are never the same. There are bosses every 20 levels or so but these mini-bosses are in addition to the story bosses that you have to fight. There are many side quests available in the game and they are dependent on time and completion of other quests. Outside of the story and side quests, hanging out with friends, attending clubs, participating in sports and running around town (different locations to visit) will be part of the weekly agenda. Special events happen throughout the year and you will be required to take exams regularly. You can change the music through accessing a character, you can pick up new weapons constantly... there are lots of things that you can do but the review is limited to so many characters so stop reading the review and buy it already. You know you want to play it. :)Read full review
I bought this PSP game a while back and was amazed of how dynamic and original it was. Much like the original Persona 3 for the PS2, this game enables the user to take control of the main character's life and mold it to their liking and as an added bonus a new storyline is available: now you have the choice of choosing the female protagonist and seeing where life takes her. Balance is key in this game as you have to find time to deal with school and hang out with your friends, not to mention the thousands of creatures that must be "taken care of" which mysteriously show up at midnight. Persona 3 Portable combines the simple-yet-detailed structure of a role-playing game with intricate storylines that are sure to change the way you see the world; all of which are at the palm of your hand. Above all, the various types of music used in this game are what separate this RPG from the others as it combines everything stated with the various artists such as the hypnotic beats of LOTUS JUICE. I highly recommend this game to anyone, as a matter of fact stop reading this and buy the game now! Buy it now! Right now!Read full review
The iconic Persona Series is one near and dear to my heart. To own the collectors edition is a dream. I never thought, after playing this series on the PS2, downloading it onto my PS3, getting the PSP version, and even buying the prequels, that I would love it this much still. I am constantly trying new things, new tactics, and enjoying the story over and over again. The female protagonist was an amazing touch, and the ability to choose either Elizabeth (original Velvet Room attendant) or Theo (new option) that allows you to choose, regardless of gender, which you'd like to romance via the 'Date' requests. I will say that there are a lot of times I'd rather the characters get tired and go home and get free healing on the first floor vs never getting tired and having to pay for healing. Then again, it's also a convenience at times. Also, the motivation to explore Tartarus on certain night to save random people and, sometimes, even people you know, is ingenious and greatly increase my enjoyment. Selling at night the Officer vs only being able to during the day in the original is also a help because there are a lot of times I've forgotten to sell during the day. Overall, this game--this series--is near and dear to my heart and I hope you enjoy it as well.Read full review
Probably one of the greatest games of all time. Everything about this game is perfect. The characters, The music, The gameplay, The story. I can't properly give this a score since it absolutely has to be experienced, but this is a 100/100. If you do buy this game and inevitably fall in love with it give Atlus' the other games a try-- Persona 2,4(4 golden if you own a vita), Cathrine, Radiant Historia, Megami Tensei... Atlus just makes masterpieces.
