All I read in this post were the words "Yukiko" and "flirting with Chie." And I agree wholeheartedly. | |
I wish I still owned a console, nobody seems to have a bad word for Persona... Alas, maybe one day... | |
Damn, no Chie. That bums me out. Meh, Persona 3 is my favorite RPG ever. And now I can play it on the go! Shit, you're right. Us fans do develop affections for the characters. | |
More like FATLUS amirite guys? Sorry, couldn't resist. | |
Yes. I agree wholeheartedly also. | |
*clubs you over the back of the head* sorry couldn't resist. Keep your stupid /v/ meme's off the site. | |
Never played these games but I've wanted to for quite some time. Are they good??? OT: Thats cool, but I don't have a PSP. D: | |
Kanji wasn't exactly the only example of "questioning" in the game. Just sayin'. | |
This is the best news I've heard since... since... since... fuck it! This is awesome news! | |
Yes, they are. The stories are always dark and engaging; the combat focuses heavily on buff/debuffs/weakness attacking, which is great; and the school simulating is fun and has a heavy impact on the game. | |
If I didn't already have both games on for the PS2 then hrmm.. I wonder if Kanji will tell anyone to get bent. | |
*shrugs* I was more into Chie myself. | |
I like the Persona series and although i have already beaten P3 (and P4) Atlus is still going to get my money for P3 portable. On a side note: I really liked Yukiko's laugh and flirting with Chie sounds good too. | |
That's all I saw too. | |
Heh, no kidding. As soon as Chie and Yukiko were together, I was like, "...Yeah, Chie, not so straight. And she's got pretty good taste." Now I want to finish Persona 4. Too many games, not nearly enough time. | |
I liked Yukiko's laughter. | |
all the more reason for me to get this! | |
'Chie is my Prince' SERIOUSLY! Although I expect that Rise will actually appear, remember that she was around when the Nightclub mission occurs in P3, during the Port Island Sequence in P4 she's talking abot how during a gig the power went out and the club owes her. Naoto may appear to attempt to solve the mystery regarding The Lost. | |
.....so...... ...why are they going to Inaba? ....i dont remeber that part on the ps2 version =( | |
Cameo's are awesome especially when it's Yukiko. For the love of god let this be released outside Japan | |
This is an added extra. Kashiwagi is already in earlier videos as a part of operation babe hunt, she is either replacing the "girl" you get lucky with or it is there in addition to that scene I don't know. I would suspect that the school trip is being changed so you visit Inaba, as you would not have to change much to do it. | |

Persona 4 Characters Cameo in Persona 3 Portable
Atlus really knows how to tug at our purse strings, huh? As if re-releasing Persona 3 in portable form wasn't enough to ensure massive sales, the publisher also threw in cameos from the characters of Persona 4.
The biggest difference between the PlayStation 2 and PSP versions of Persona 3 is that the portable iteration includes the option to play as a female character. Not much has been revealed on what sets the distaff option apart from her masculine counterpart, but, as Siliconera reports, it seems that at some point during her tale she can travel to Inaba, the sleepy burg featured in Persona 4.
Instead of popping up right in the midst of P4's plot however, your character will be interacting with the town as it appeared two years before obese teddy bears started literally breaking the fourth wall. Though that means you won't get to punch the protagonist for flirting with Chie, it seems you will be able to visit the Amagiya Inn, complete with a more youthful Yukiko -- though presumably you'll still want to choke her every time she laughs.
Given how Persona fans tend to develop nearly romantic affection for the characters in these games, it's a stroke of genius for Atlus to throw in this kind of fan service.
Okay, maybe "genius" is a bit too strong. At the very least, it's a move the firm's accountants can smile about while sipping mojitos and watching Gossip Girl.
