Liked Persona 3? If so, I'd bet that this trailer for Persona 3 Portable will get you really excited. Why? It looks like the best version of Persona 3 yet. An upgrade on a portable? It's crazy, I know, but it definitely looks like an upgrade from where I'm sitting.
In this Japanese trailer you'll see some of the changes. Character interaction is shown with the new female protagonist. There's new battle scenes and even a team attack for you to get googly eyes over. At around the 2:00 mark I noticed that town exploration looks a bit different. It seems like you'll be moving a cursor over shops to enter them instead of having an avatar walk around. The sharp eyes of Siliconera noticed a couple of things, too. For one, a Persona 4 cameo. They also pointed out a series of doors in the video. Anyone that played all of Pesona 3 FES will recognize those. I wonder what's up with that.
Come on, Atlus USA. Tell me you're working on this.

Thanks Dale!
The one found by clicking the link to Siliconera.
Oh, and I want P3P. Badly.
1:42 clearly related to FES Answer somehow. This looks more and more like a lot of expanded content to the storyline than just tacking on a female protagonist. I'm getting more excited about the likelihood of this coming from overseas.
