And while I never played that version, I remember the changes – scaling the game back to the PSP meant losing some the animated cutscenes, a shift back to 2D environments that make the daytime sections feel more like a visual novel and a few changes in content (including the addition of a female protagonist). The other side of the story plays out at night, when you explore the Tartarus labyrinth in order to find out what evil plagues the city.Īnd while it might strike people as odd that they kept “Portable” in the game title for this Persona 3 release, it’s worth pointing out that the PSP version of Persona 3 was different from the release that came out for the PlayStation 2. It’s not radically different from Persona 4 and 5 though, as you can already see the social dynamics and mechanics of those days here – despite the mystery these characters are still students who interact with one another, fall in love and want to perform at school. The gameplay premise is Persona 3 Portable hangs a sort of doomsday clock over your head that gives you a year of in-game time to figure out what’s happening and prevent an apocalyptic ending, adding an air of mystery around the narrative. And while they share mechanics, they all feel like self-contained stories with unique cast members – Persona 3 offering a mix of high school drama and supernatural dangers. It was (and still is) the most critically acclaimed game for the PlayStation Vita, which quickly led to a fascination with the game that came before and ultimately Persona 5. We checked out the new PlayStation 4 port of Persona 3 Portable, which originally launched for Sony’s PSP and is not a whole lot less ‘portable’ – unless you’re playing the Switch or Steam Deck version.įor us, Persona 4 Golden is what kicked off the series.
