Persona 3 Portable Has A Female Protagonist

Persona 3 Portable Has A Female ProtagonistShin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 is coming to PSP as Persona 3 Portable, but there is more to this than the standard PlayStation 2 to PSP port.

 

The Famitsu scan for Persona 3 Portable says the main character is female. Yes, that’s her in the scan and what appears to be a female version of Orpheus. A picture of Orpheus from Persona 3 is below for comparison’s sake.

 

While it’s too early for Atlus USA to announce Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable, I’d bet on a domestic release.

    I kind of had similer feelings to you actually. I mean, I like P3 and all, but I prefer the dark introspective story of P2 and the cast of P4 a lot more then anything in 3 in retrospect. I also thought that after the PSP Persona remake that would automatically lead to a P2 remake (maybe bundled together or done as seperate games like the Sora no Kiseki games), but maybe if this does will it will justify it.

    WHERE'S. MY. GROWLANSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hm. Then it looks more buyable.

    Otherwise it would mean I have to buy it a third time. I already got P3 and P3:FES :p

  • Zuga

    I don't think I'll be buying this………….still haven't finished the PS2 game, and frankly I'd rather get new games aka Growlanser then get a port of a game that was released just a short time ago.

  • THRONE

    Strangely I'm not interested in buying this game for the 5th time. I would have much rather had a P2 or P4 port with new material than this.

    But, isn't Growlanser an enhanced port?

    Man, lay off the PSP shit Atlus. Please?

    Oh well. I'm happy for those of you who have one :).

    I already bought Persona 3 twice. It'll have to be a big addition (to a PSP version? I'm doubting it) to make me want to slog through it again. I love P3, but seriously, not for a third time.

  • kurono

    I'm psyched for this! Damn you Atlus! I already own several versions of Persona 3!

    Persona 3
    Persona 3 FES
    Persona 3 FES w/ Artbook

    Looks like I'll be adding to that.

    Yeah it's not new… but it never came out in English before. :(

    I want it. I absolutely definitely want it. I wonder if the social links will remain the same for her?

    I hope they also fix the party members that get 'sick' after a little dungeon crawling. Toughen up! XD

  • http://www.siliconera.com Jenni

    Ooo… I forgot about that as well.

    Same here. Especially if they also change the fact that dungeon-crawling fatigues characters. That's what kept me from continuing the PS2 version of Persona 3.

  • Saturnus

    lol, this game has sealed the deal. I'm definitely getting a PSP soon, goddamn…

  • Ereek

    If you're complaining about ATLUS releasing games on the PSP, that obviously means you have interest in two or more games already released for it. Contrary to popular belief, the PSP does have quite a few games, my library is actually bigger than my DS library, if you do some research.

  • Zuga

    That's true Spencer.

    However, I've already had the experience of playing Persona 3, and since it was released only 2 years ago, it's not an old nostalgic game that needs a remake so soon. I'm already glad I waited a few months and got FES instead of the original.

    Growlanser is a PSX game and supposedly one of the best in the series. Plus it hasn't been released over in English before. I just have been questioning Atlus's localizing decisions lately – why localize Class of Heroes, The Dark Spire, Tokyo Beatdown, Steal Princess – which likely have more niche audiences than a series that has a dedicated following like Growlanser.

    I appreciate remakes when they're games that were great in the day and can use a graphical overhaul – i.e. FF4 DS and Dragon Quest IV and V, but anything less than 4 years old is way too quick to get a remake/port.

    You think you can date the guys??? *______*

  • Jirin

    Wait, so it's not just a port? Or is it the same game except you date the males instead of females?

    Must…resist…buying…another…system… If this and VC2 get announced here I will finally be forced to go out and get the cheapest used PSP I can find.

  • Jirin

    Honestly I could care less about Persona 2 unless they give it a persona system more similar to 3 and 4. Having to constantly negotiate with demons in a negotiation system with no logic whatsoever just to get new personas is just ridiculous.

    Persona 2's story with Persona 4's combat = The perfect Persona. But 2's combat and persona system is just plain awful.
