I admit, I was in the middle of a replay when Persona 3 PSP was announced, and I stopped cold in my tracks when I heard the news. No reason to keep going when I can replay the entire game on a portable system ... and with a new heroine! It was recently revealed that there are two brand new characters you will be able to social link with if you play the female protagonist (shown above):
Rio Iwasaki
Chief of the P.E. department who is very serious about club activities. In fact, she is so serious that trouble tends to occurr around her. Rio belongs to the volleyball and tennis clubs.
Saori Hasegawa
Having been studying overseas, she is two years older than the Heroine. She seems to be troubled with no one around her year being able to understand her. Saori belongs to the library and health committees.
Apparently, you can also sort of date the hot guy in the Velvet Room (Theodore! He has a name!) by taking him out to see the town, just like you did with Elizabeth if you accepted those quests. I can't wait. So many new possible characters to cosplay.... hmmm...

I do know, however, that I will be preordering this at the first moment possible.

Don't waste money on importing, it'll be wonderfully localized with tons of goodies and will cost less. Just NOT download it. Then buy it when it comes out here. It's always a good plan.
I'm trying to improve my Japanese, so that's one reason why I'm doing it. I also have a friend in Japan right now who would be able to pick it up for me in a store, maybe even used after a week or two. After awhile I'll pick up the English copy, but for now import will do me good.
I think what ever they add to the Male MC's story will be "canon" and the female's story will be the gimme and possibly broken, unless they make everyone female or vice versa when needed. It seems pretty complicated to do, but it looks like it's coming along very well.
Fair enough. I thought you were just paying like $78 for it on Play-Asia, I'd do the same thing if I were you.
Also, the people asking for lesbian relationships are depressing me.
Work hard on your costume, make it fit well, and that might be a 'yes'.
The game needs to be sufficiently different, so these two girls are going to make things interesting.
