The New Persona 3 Portable: Game Preview
Alright for those of you who know me, you know that i'm an avid SMT Fan, having found out the plots for the majority of their game series. However i have a special interest in The Persona series (basically because it's the only game series i own save a few side games). This July Coming to North America is the 3RD RELEASE of the classic game of PERSONA 3. Called PERSONA 3 PORTABLE
Now if you have seen my past review about Persona 3 i advise you to check up on that page and be familiarized with that, For Persona 3 Portable will have some changes gamewise. Here's the Link: https://gamingforum.4umer.com/reviews-f29/game-review-persona-3-t624.htm haha I wrote that Review when i was 11. So Anyhows once you've checked up on that link let's talk about the Core Changes of the story.
Interface Changes :
One important change in this game is the ability to pick your own gender for your character from either a male or a female :
If you Pick the male in this scenario then your game interface will be mostly blue whilst if you pick the female your interface will be pink here's an example :
You may notice here that something odd compared to the original version of Persona 3. This leads us to the next Major Changes
Movement and Interactions :
Another Major Change in this game is its exclusion of the familiar 3rd person movement. instead the game is then changed to that of cursor navigation I.E clicking on a person in order to talk with them instead of walking up to them gamewise. However Tartarus's Gameplay Remains Unchanged. Here are two videos to help me prove my point:
Gameplay :
Long time players of Persona 3 Recall that you were unable to control the actions of your fellow Members. Now the game adapts Persona 4's "Revolutionary changes " you can now control your fellow members and they can also Do Persona 4 exclusive things such as taking a mortal blow for you and so on. (REFER TO MY PERSONA 4 REVIEW FOR THE BASICS ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT INCLUDED THERE)
Music :
Some of the game's music also changes depending on the character you choose for example for the male the song "MASS DESTRUCTION" plays during battles however for the female the NEW song called " Wiping All Out " Plays.
Male : Mass Destruction
Female : Wiping All Out
There are some more music changes but i'll let you figure that out
Story wise :
There aren't any major changes to the storyline besides the MC's Part.
Social Links : First introduced in the Original Persona 3, Social Links are an Essential part if you wanna improve your Personas. Different Social Links are Unlocked for the Female Route.
Finally the Last change
The Spell Card System :
Think of The Spell Card System like that of the Classic TM's From Pokemon Games.
Skills are learnable through the use of Spell Cards in fact almost ALL of the skills a persona can learn are obtainable via spell cards.
So in Summary:
Interface : Different from that of the female and Male
Music : changes depending on gender
Story : No Major Changes Save for one
Gameplay : Adapts persona 4 style of gameplay while retaining what made it Persona 3
Movement and Interactions : "Cursor" Style movement, except for Tartarus
The New Spell Card System
THE FACT THAT ITS EXCLUSIVE FOR THE PSP!
So in the end i can't give this Game a rating just yet. But believe that i'll be one of the first people to get this game and i will revise this PRE-view to become a review.
That is all

- Spoiler:
- Side note : For me, I prefer this song since i especially like the saxophone part. Also I play the Saxophone
Female : Wiping All Out
