Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable

jamesjeux007's Persona 3 Portable (PlayStation Portable) review

The best of Persona 3 and 4

Persona 3 is awesome. Persona 4 is awesome. What do you get when you mix them together ? Persona 3 Portable. This game is perfect mix of the best parts of P3 and P4. The completely broken combat system of Persona 3 is ditched for the improved system of Persona 4 and with some more improvements sprinkled on top. The interface has been remade. Some of the dialogue has been rerecorded and the game have had more scenes added where you hang out with your friends. As you go up the Tartarus on the added Maniac difficulty settings, the boss fights get really challenging. And the developers even added a female main character for the people like me who had already finished the original game and wanted something new. As I played P3P, it reminded me of the first time I played Persona 3 FES and how I absolutely loved that game at the time. If you have never played a Persona game or Persona 3, Persona 3 Portable is the version you need to play.

While I think buying the same game three times is absur...

 When you look at Persona games, and really the Shin Megami Tensei franchise as a whole, by and large, they're RPGs that are always concerned with self-improvement. Atlus has a knack for delving into its back catalog and not only fixing what was broken in the past, but experimenting with things that still work anyway. The fruits of those labors don't always pay off, but when they do, they make for an experience that tells you those games are forward-thinking. That mentality naturally puts Person...
