Persona 3 Portable Announced.

mint · 04:03 PM

"The port is due November 1st 2009."

As duckroll mentioned, the game is also going to be released at retail and PSN on the same day. Mostly because of the PSP Go.

For PSP.

Additionally, an entirely new character is promised, looking to be a male version of Elizabeth; some gameplay additions in the form of new difficulty levels are also promised."

FINALLY my desires for a lesbian interaction with Yukari and Mitsuru will come true. Thank raptor jesus for mystery sourceless quotes.

?
yeah it's real

Blueblur1 · (08-18-2009, 03:53 PM)

I thought the female main character was an option not a change. If they make some P4-style changes then this port will definitely be interesting. I'll be buying it regardless. <3 Atlus

Himuro · (08-18-2009, 03:53 PM)

Fuck Persona 3 Portable.

Ephemeris · (08-18-2009, 03:54 PM)

So it's coming out but the OP's info is wrong?

What is wrong? It came from a mag article..

ChackanKun · (08-18-2009, 03:54 PM)

So, is it real? Or is it...unreal? (no pun...pun intended)

*has gained a vastly increased interest in PSP all of a sudden*

darkwings · (08-18-2009, 03:55 PM)

hopefully you can control your party members now

RocketDarkness · (08-18-2009, 03:55 PM)

Damnit Atlus, I already have a huge backlog of SMT games, and now you want me to play one I've already beaten on a system I don't own? That's just cruel.

Obviously not. Not all of us read gaming mags.

darkressurection · (08-18-2009, 03:56 PM)

I fucking love Atlus

You can. Manual control from P4 is in. Also the new female character is offered alongside the old male one, not instead of.

Aeana · (08-18-2009, 03:56 PM)

So, like, none of you read the Famitsu thread?
It's right there, with all of the information you need.

It's not appalling in the least. It's disappointing.

ravien56 · (08-18-2009, 03:57 PM)

Yea man WTF? Link?

mint · (08-18-2009, 03:57 PM)

If info is wrong, just say what to correct -_-

duckroll · (08-18-2009, 03:57 PM)

I'm lazy, while you're at it BlazingDarkness, could you quote my comments on the content too?

No. They're not going to make any of these MASSIVE changes you think they are making. It's a port of Persona 3, with selectable protagonist. There will be certain things unique to the female route, and there will be some new additions to the male route as well. Otherwise it's the same game with various improvements. Apparently there'll be 5 difficulty levels, and like in P4, you can set your party members on manual control. The game is coming out on 1st Nov.

YuriLowell · (08-18-2009, 04:01 PM)

I just jizzed in my pants.

NA release right?

I can't see pics from work. :(

edit: oh, selectable protagonist is what was wrong. Neat!

Gonna go with female.

mint · (08-18-2009, 04:01 PM)

apparently this info has already been posted..my bad

duckroll · (08-18-2009, 04:01 PM)

Thanks. And while we're at it, if he wants to fix the OP, the game is also going to be released at retail and PSN on the same day. Mostly because of the PSP Go.

And here's mine:

It also says that a downloadable version will launch at the same time as the retail version, and the voice actress for the female main character is Marina Inoue. I guess that's all of the valuable info I can glean from the scans at this point.

And it's based on the FES version of the game, but there's no mention of Episode Aigis, so it might not be in.

jj984jj · (08-18-2009, 04:02 PM)

It's not a female instead of a male.

BlazingDarkness · (08-18-2009, 04:03 PM)

blue haired MC from Persona 3 + red haired female MC
each with their own version of Orpheus (blue and red), and holding tarot cards

Aquavelvaman · (08-18-2009, 04:04 PM)

I'll buy it.

Fucking awesome. So, so bought. To the scrapheap with the PS2 version.

crowphoenix · (08-18-2009, 04:05 PM)

I am so buying this. The controllable party members and different main characters will give me a definite reason to play this one through again.

Brandon F · (08-18-2009, 04:06 PM)

BURN MY DREAD!

Snapshot King · (08-18-2009, 04:07 PM)

Wow. Didn't expect this. Long as P4 manual control and p4 teleporting are in, I'll be pumped. Gotta say though, not looking forward to tantalus again.

But, they going to be able to fit all the VA in? The game has a ton.

MoogPaul · (08-18-2009, 04:08 PM)

The female side better be good. It could totally ruin the story for me. I really really like the interaction between the characters in P3, particularly the MC and Yukari.

Agreed. I'm still FINISHING the Answer on FES.

If this is the "definitive" "definitive version" I'm going to be pissed.

That said, P3/P4 work for a portable format of Persona RPGs. So it's a smart move.

Quote:

Well, that may or may not be a good thing. A ton of people hated the Answer because it was GRIND GRIND GRIND your mortal sins away. Me? I liked it because it threw out the Social Links (the weakest part of the new Personas, IMO), but I fucking hate the "Evade weakness" shit that they threw in. It didn't make the game/chapter hard. Just frustrating. 9/10 of the time I have a boss down to final all-out attack only to have it evade it's weakness and then creame my party. :|

Well, if P3:Portable is coming, the it's a matter of time for P4: Portable to come. (Just like it was a matter of time for Disgaea 2 Portable to happen)

Why would it ruin the game when you can still play as the guy if you want?

Felix Lighter · (08-18-2009, 04:08 PM)

Hmmmm... I might buy a PSP for this. I've never played the game but it sounds like this could be the definitive version. I'm definitely interested.

Wordsgohere · (08-18-2009, 04:10 PM)

Looks like I'll be buying Persona 3 a third time then.
