On another matter, what does the female protagonist say when she summons her persona? There are too many syllables for “persona”.

A female protagonist is a big selling point and I do want to give the Journey another try, but will I have the patience and time for it? I do not know at this point. I need more time to decide.

It looks really promising though.

There's always the PS2 version to fall back on, this is supposed to be a PORTABLE experience. The Square button menu was the best thing to hit Persona 4. I am 100% fine with this.

Cut play time down?

I don't think there's a huge amount of content loss outside of the answer, it's just a different perspective chances are 90% of the games' NPCs and events are intact.
In fact, Minato's path is said to have new events altogether.

I'm not here to convince you to buy it (I”m buying both Persona and P3P) just, for those who want a handheld version to double (or triple) dip it's not like they are being completely lazy with it.

Already bought the game twice, the gender gimmick isn't enough to do it. Then the fact that the game just has less content, nah its just not worth it at all. <br><br>Go buy Persona, that at least isn't a remake of a game we didn't play a whole year ago.
