Don't ask me why I'm so excited about the news that Persona 3 is coming to the PSP. I already own both editions of the game (the original and FES) and was actually im the middle of a FES replay when this news hit. You know what though? I'm going to play it all over again, because the time spent playing Persona 3 is worth it.
Siliconera reports that you can choose at the beginning of the game to play as the original male protagonist or the new female, and that it is based on The Journey portion of FES (in other words, the updates made to that release will be included). Choosing the female protagonist will result in different events and meetings with new characters, such as the male equivalent of the Velvet Room's Elizabeth.
The game will also have five difficulty levels in total and will get a simultaneous retail and digital release (for PSPGo users) when it comes out in Japan on November 1st. I wonder when we'll see it in America? I have to admit, that new Velvet Room attendant is awfully handsome ... yum.

Wow, I really said that in the most roundabout way possible, didn't I...?
I am very very interested in P3 for PSP.
Now if Atlus would do the same for Devil Summoner 2 I would be in heaven.
I just realized if the dating for the new female is reversed as I think it might be....maybe I can date Akihiko. WOO!
God I cannot wait until Persona 5 finally gets announced and shown off.
Makes me wish I owned a PSP :[
I would totally date Akihiko. And I'm a straight guy. He's just that awesome...even if his first Persona does look like a bad 80s ass rock guitarist with the shingles.
Technically all the Persona games take place in the same universe.
P3P's campaign with the male character won't be exactly the same, either, because new events will be added to that line.
The big question is really as to the fate of the FES content. What does this say for the current canon as shown in the followup campaign?
sorry, I worded that wrong, I meant setting instead of universe, like a direct sequel with returning characters instead of the same story.
She's intelligent, sexy, sassy, rich beyond belief and has an excellent fashion style.
I'm not sure why you'd need a male counterpart, Elizabeth is just... perfect!
I miss her so much.
At least I'll have something to play on my PSP.
must play this game now!
I have FES, but I love this game so much that if a significant amount of changes are made, I don't think I'd stop supporting the same game. It's that good.
I'd definitely be with you if this came out on the PS2.
