Gaming Union writes: "Unlike many of the other genres on the PSP, Japanese RPGs are few and far between. You have mission-based RPGs such as Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology, in which the storyline plays a second fiddle to the gameplay. On the other side of the fence are RPGs which try to emulate console RPGs such as Crimson Gem Saga which fail to realize the strengths and weaknesses of the platform they are on. And in the middle are those in-between such as Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, which try to meld the two styles together, with all of the strengths and weaknesses combined.
While games like the recent Hexyz Force have tried to bring about a true "portable" RPG to the PSP, there still feels like there is something missing. Does Persona 3 Portable, originally a console RPG, succeed - or is it yet another failed attempt at furthering the genre on the PSP?"
A new SEGA / Atlus Switch eShop sale started up this week, which includes the lowest prices ever for various games including Persona 3 Portable, Sonic Origins Plus, and more.
Atlus has announced a collaboration with a well-known Japanese distillery to launch the Persona series' very own whiskey, releasing tomorrow.
I'll have to make this a mission the next time I blow through Tokyo.
Hopefully soon, given the limited availability.
A video reel showcasing what appears to be work-in-progress footage of a Persona 3 remake and a new Jet Set Radio title surfaced online this morning.
UPDATE: Special thanks to anonymous user DM for this!! So it seems this was part of footage from SEGAs Japan’s Internal meeting held in 2021… The Japanese characters on top rights reads “Footage in development” pic.twitter.com/5sW13O1kyQ

A Persona 3 remake would be incredible. It's one of those games that doesn't really have a "best way" to play because the content is split between versions.
And a new Jet Set Radio is definitely interesting. But I do wonder how the current public would accept it. Both previous titles are extremely arcade in their execution.
I'd love a new JSR but Bomb Rush Cyberfunk looks to be filling that void very nicely. Definitely get both if they release
That short video looks amazing, I love Persona 3, it's one of my favorite games ever. Hopefully this remake will come with the FES expansion included
Looks like they got p3 remake and P6 cooking. In Atlus we trust. One of the final kings of jrpgs.
Solid game, solid review.
I need to get this game lol
Very nice, loved the first game and glad to see the PSP version is just as solid
