Persona 3 Portable is based around the main scenario of Persona 3 Fes, but Atlus is adding a whole lot to make this more than just a port. The biggest change appears to be the ability to select between male and female main characters. The newly added female main character offers different events and character relationships from the male character. Even the male character scenario will be seeing new elements, including visual changes to some Personas.

Other new elements include the ability to select between five difficulty levels: beginner, easy, normal, hard, and maniacs. Movement through the game world has been simplified, as you can now select a destination directly from a menu and be transported there instantly. During battle, you now have the option of directly issuing commands to all your ally characters.

November 1 is the Japanese launch date for PSP go, making Persona 3 Portable a launch title for the system. For RPG fans, Sony's portable redesign seems like it has its first must-have title!





Sounds incredible!

Yes!!! Teamplay commands! The AI was just so fricking dumb in FES. I can't wait for this!


Wow one question though....how the hell are they going to fit that on a UMD? ATLUS= One of the best JRPG devs EVER

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

I'd assume less FMVs and voice acting (the JP version of P1 has much less voice acting than the NA one). Do we know if this comes in UMD? Lest that it's released as DL only (that would kill the space problem, though)




SHMUPGurus on 18 August 2009

New difficulty levels is not complicated to do... I mean, you change a few lines of codes and that's it. Adding a new character is not really going to change the size of the original game that much either. Sure, they're probably going to add some new videos and character pictures, but the main game will stay the same.

Oh, by the way, will PS3P contain Aigis's story (The Answer)? I guess that's how they're going to fit everything in a UMD (by not adding this scenario I mean).



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

I'm glad this ended up on the handheld same with P5 if it comes out...handhelds just do JRPGs more justice these days.

Wow! that's a lot of changes. Especially in the battles, Unable to control the other characters in P3 is a drag. I can't fully utilize their skills.
This is the time where I wish I can understand Japanese or this is a simultaneous release.

I'm pretty sure we'll see a localized release down the line from Atlus' US office.

Holy sh...!
I've been asking for this for like a year! Since my PS2 stopped working!
YAY!!!

Aww. I wonder if I should wait for this or just beat the PS2 version. I'm over 50 hours in.....


Those look like some great changes though!

I'm going to finish Persona 3 FES, because I don't believe that Atlus will release it in Europe due the weak sales here.

Can't wait for lesbian sex...

I always wanted Atlus to give me an option of choosing between a female or male character. I like how we can now control party members.
