SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI PERSONA 3 PORTABLE SIMULATOR

You have to do a lot of combat as you make your way up, so it’s a good thing that the combat is easy to pick up and hard to master. Our heroes begin adventuring into the mysterious tower of Tartarus at night and must attempt to climb to the top in order to unveil the mysteries of the dark hour. Get it, because you’re playing as a girl? (Slaps face with palm) The Jungian psychological concepts examined throughout the plot aren’t particularly subtle, but it certainly gives the story an interesting slant that beats the generic “orphans out for revenge against the empire” paradigm. The characters too are well designed and entertaining and the whole affair has a very high school anime feel to it. It’s certainly an interesting scenario and the plot has enough twists and turns to keep you engaged. Thus the band of heroes take it upon themselves to explore the shadows’ nest, the mysterious tower of Tartarus, and attempt to put a stop to the dark hour once and for all. Our character soon discovers that they and a selection of school friends possess the power of Persona, a magical being that grants them the strength to combat the shadow menace. There are a select few who remain conscious during the dark hour, but their minds are prey for the evil shadows, the evil monsters that emerge during the dark hour. They soon find out that a mysterious hour between midnight and one AM called the dark hour sees everyone transform into coffins each day. The story is set in a fictional city in modern day Japan where our teenage hero (or heroine) has recently transferred for their schooling. Having been released for the third time now, has Persona 3 still got what it takes to wow fans and newcomers alike once more? I stopped laughing when I actually got to play it, and found it to be one of the best RPGs I’d played during that whole console generation.

When I was told that the folks over at Atlus had mixed a social simulator with Jungian psychology into a JRPG framework, I laughed heartily at what seemed to be a rather ridiculous idea.
