![]() ![]() A few things were lost from the original and FES releases - most prominently, the excellent anime cutscenes, which were a treat. Still, it’s debatable whether this is the best version of the game. There are some improvements from the PS2 versions in Portable, namely the second path that allows you to play as a female along with the original male protagonist and some visual upgrades. The new release of Persona 3 Portable seems to be a faithful transfer of the game onto modern platforms, but the “portable” aspect doesn’t apply unless you’re playing it on a Switch or a Steam Deck. During the Dark Hour, the time between days, Gekkoukan transforms into Tartarus, a constantly shifting, seemingly endless tower, and it’s up to you and your friends to protect the city, Japan, and the world. In typical Persona fashion, you befriend a group of fellow teens who can summon great power from within themselves, which manifests as their Persona, giving them the ability to fight the demonic Shadows plaguing the town. As a transfer student to this school in Iwatodai, a town built on the artificial Tatsumi Port Island, you come to find many strange things before you even get off the train. Many people remember high school as a form of dungeon, but in Persona 3 Portable, Gekkoukan High is a literal dungeon. ![]() Persona 3 Portable was one of several upgraded versions of the original game, and it’s fantastic that Atlus is re-releasing both 3 and 4 on modern platforms to make them playable for those who don’t have a PSP or Vita lying around. The unique hybrid of high-school life-sim and a more traditional JRPG base was first released on the PS2 in 2006 in Japan and in 2007 elsewhere. Obviously, several games came before (more than four, actually), but the series first garnered critical acclaim and a cult following with Persona 3(including several awards from RPGFan). ![]() It also handled Sting’s games for the platform, such as Blaze Union: Story to Reach the Future and Yggdra Union: We’ll Never Fight Alone.Persona 5 was a major hit and raised the profile of its own series and parent franchise, Shin Megami Tensei, as a whole. Other than the flagship games, Atlus also ported the first and fourth Growlanser titles to the platform. Its lineup includes ports of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner and the first three Persona games - including both Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment versions for Persona 2. Atlus had also released many PSP games in Japan in particular. It was one of the popular handheld consoles in Japan that many publishers released games exclusively for the platform and region. The PlayStation Portable was released from 2004 to 2014. Prominent Japanese publishers like Atlus and Level-5 have just received confirmation that their PSP titles will still be listed on the active PS3 and Vita stores. The last point left some uncertainty regarding the fate of PSP titles on the digital stores, especially since the Vita also supports backward compatibility with digital PSP games. ![]()
