Overall, the improvements have me really excited for Persona 3 Portable. P3P is a large, 100-hour epic that seems to have been changed just enough to make for a very satisfying portable experience, while keeping the same addictive gameplay as its console version. P3P is being released on July 6th, and for those people who want to pre-order the game (Canada, USA) you can get a free hat modeled after the one Junpei wears in game.
"Last Surprise" and "Mass Destruction" are two of the best Persona battle themes, no doubt.
The studio was on the verge of collapse when Persona 3 came out, and things were looking quite grim for Atlus. Regardless, many decisions made in the game paid off and became a staggering success.
Years ago, I was emulating the game on my laptop and the old thing died when I was about to get to the final boss. I'm more than happy to buy this remake when it comes out so I can finish it!
At the time I was immersed in SMT Nocturne and later DDS. I did not realize at all how important Persona would become for me years later.
Persona 3 FES was the first one that I played in the series. Looking forward to the remake.
Half-Glass Gaming: "Often considered one of the darker entries in Atlus' Persona series, Persona 3 definitely has a sinister vibe to it, and it leans into horror more than you might realize."
