Description
About This Game
Terrible creatures lurk in the dark, preying on those who wander into the hidden hour between one day and the next. As a member of a secret school club, you must wield your inner power—Persona—and protect humanity from impending doom. Will you live to see the light of day?
Hailed by critics and players alike for breathing new life into the RPG genre, Persona®3 now finds a new home on your PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system. All of the compelling and seamless mixture of social simulation and dungeon crawling is faithfully recreated in portable form, and that’s not all—for the first time ever, you can experience the story from a new female protagonist’s point of view to make new friends and see events from a different perspective.
New gameplay additions and slick system enhancements make this version worth playing whether it’s your first time experiencing the Dark Hour or whether you’ve already been to the top of Tartarus and back.
