NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The beautiful seaside city of Minato-ku serves as the backdrop for the latest Persona adventure where players adopt the role of a transfer student who commutes daily from dormitory to school. Persona 3 introduces creatures known as Shadows which appear during the midnight hour and wreak all manner of havoc. To combat the threat, the protagonist teams up with fellow students including Yukari Takeba, Mitsuru Kirijo, and Junpei Iori who all have the power of Persona and the ability to battle the Shadows.
At the outset of the game, the player-named protagonist arrives at his dormitory and is greeted immediately by the winsome Yukari Takeba who approaches with a gun holstered to her thigh. She seems apprehensive but a redhead named Mitsuru Kirijo approaches from behind and reassures her that it's only the new transfer student. After greetings, Yukari takes the player to to his room which is at the end of the hallway on the second floor. The next morning, Yukari knocks on the door and protag's already all dressed up and ready to go. The two take a monorail over the sea to the Moonlight School where Yukari leaves him near the entrance amidst a row of lockers. After buying a drink, head off to the administrative office to register for school and eventual class...
Persona 3 was originally released on the PS2 in 2006 and the PSP conversion features new elements such as a selectable difficulty setting (Beginner, Easy, Normal, Hard, Maniacs), an upgraded battle system, new events, and the option to play the game as a female student instead of the default male student from the original game.
