Persona 3 Portable allows you to go back to Inaba photo

[Editor's note: Possible spoiler alert! Cover your brains!]

Of course we want Persona 3 Portable, despite the fact that most of us have purchased the game twice already. As some of you have so eloquently said in the comments, some of us are obsessed with the series, and you know what, you're right. Now, just keep reading if you are into this kind of news, and skip if it's not your bag.

So who's the girl on the left up there? Why, that's Yukiko from Persona 4! Apparently, playing as the new female protagonist allows you to stop by Inaba, the town that all the events in P4 went down in. Siliconera reports that you'll actually stay at the Amagiya Inn and meet a young version of Yukiko (since the events of P3 take place about 2 years before P4). How awesome is that?

I'm gonna have to make friends with someone who owns a PSP soon. If I had enough money to buy everything I want I'd have one by now but as it stands I'll never reach the level of disposable income to justify owning one; even with things this awesome.

I thought I saw Kashiwagi in one of the earlier trailers. Just one more reason I need to get a PSP (as if Atlus putting out Persona on it wasn't enough).

Nice to see the female protagonist's part in the game is getting some real differences. I just hope there's some more stuff for the original protagonist as well. I never made a second run on P3 FES because the news of P3P hit, so while I'll give the new side a spin there's still some things I want to do on the original path.

I'm going to have to get a PSP just for this game. I love how they incorporate the two games together. Great idea!

Will... Naoto be there?





...I have a strange obsession with Naoto.




Is this what being an otaku feels like?

Just like that time in Persona 4 when you go to [spoiler!!!1]gekkokan high[/spoiler]. Gratuitous fanservice! But very much appreciated.

Also, I really hope this hits Europe shortly after the U.S.

Every article about P3P should have free toilet paper because I'm tired of changing my underwear.

And oh my god, short hair works for Yukiko.

You know what would make it more awesome? If you met up with Young Chie.

Come on Atlus... just announce this already...

I’ve only played P4 (and loved it). I guess I’ll have to buy a PSP and see what 3 is all about.

If Chie doesn’t show up I will be upset.....

I've been hesitant to try Persona 3 and 4. I haven't played a JRPG in about a year, but before that I used to play everything that came out in that genre.

If I'm sick of JRPG/anime tropes and cliches, but still like the gameplay of RPGs, would this be worth my time?

Oh, and I played Persona 2 a decade ago when it came out. Is it anything like that?
I think I'd rather play it on PSP either way.

I would rather have the FP story being a spin-off two years later P4, and meeting all the other Persona users for the ultimate orgy!

This had better come to the US. Persona 1 for PSP sucks because of all the random encounters.

Wow. They have really got me salivating over something I already bought. (luckily I only played FES not the original.) GENIUS! I want this. Yes. please! And while were at it: Persona 2 PSP remake Please (Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment). I have Eternal Punishment but refuse to play it until I can play the first part.

Well played, Atlus. Well played.
