    Persona 3 was a great game on PS2 & PSP

    The years have passed and GOD this game is still awesome ? How it's possible ? Such a good game. I thought the game would get old but no !

    If you like Persona or Megami Tensei you can play this game don't worry, and for people who don't understand English don't worry, it is possible to change the language

    The overall experience is fine. A lot of people would say P3 is the best Persona or the greatest JRPG of all time, which is not true at all. It's the worst Persona and far from the greatest JRPG. The story isn't very interesting but it is consistent, you're not curve balled with the "main villain actually working for another villain" type nonsense, like off the top of my head FFIV.

The story isn't very interesting but it is consistent, you're not curve balled with the "main villain actually working for another villain" type nonsense, like off the top of my head FFIV. The social links serve very little purpose and wouldn't be missed if they weren't in the game at all. Conversations during those social links are also brief and basically are one note, there is one social link I've done that does reference another which was pretty cool. The main meat of the game, Tartarus is absolutely agonizing to get through, 264 floors of the same stuff over and over again. Some enemies and boss fights just aren't fun at all and are very poorly designed and the game is GRIND HEAVY. The game is funny in parts and like every other Persona game, the music absolutely slaps. If you've exhausted your options for JRPGs on Xbox, don't have other platforms and don't want to use an emulator to play older JRPGs, this is the best version of P3 and it is on Gamepass so you might as well check it out. It's not bad, but not very good.… Expand

    I enjoyed my play through mostly but really felt the limitations of this being a port of a PSP game. The addictive and rewarding Persona gameplay loop is still there in a raw form without all the bells and whistles. Story holds up but is just a little off in pacing and I didn’t feel as attached to the player character as I should have after all those hours with the lack of animation,I enjoyed my play through mostly but really felt the limitations of this being a port of a PSP game. The addictive and rewarding Persona gameplay loop is still there in a raw form without all the bells and whistles. Story holds up but is just a little off in pacing and I didn’t feel as attached to the player character as I should have after all those hours with the lack of animation, cutscenes, and social links for your full team. You can play through as the opposite gender to see more, but not feeling motivated to do that anytime soon. Tarturus… I got through 200 floors enjoying it despite its reputation as a slog but as your leveling up slows it really does become a grind. This really is a classic worth playing, I just wish more care and thought were put into bringing this game to 2023.… Expand

    Un JRPG tremendo, con esta versión para PSP aligeraron todo el tedioso proceso de la parte mas "visual novel", se juega de manera muy ágil y la historia seguramente sea la mejor de todos los Persona. 10 sobre 10 en otra maravilla que llega a Game Pass.

    I used to have this game, Persona 3 Portable Digital Edition, on Xbox, until Xbox banned my whole gamertag 15+ year old account with over $10k in digital games, movies, tv series, dlc all for something I posted in a GAME REVIEW yet they cant quote me as to what exactly I said and respond to my BBB complaint with "we have no obligation to provide evidence" when I violate their fragileI used to have this game, Persona 3 Portable Digital Edition, on Xbox, until Xbox banned my whole gamertag 15+ year old account with over $10k in digital games, movies, tv series, dlc all for something I posted in a GAME REVIEW yet they cant quote me as to what exactly I said and respond to my BBB complaint with "we have no obligation to provide evidence" when I violate their fragile "TOS". The multi-billion dollar business has no obligation to provide valid evidence for something so permanent as a PERMAMENT SUSPENSION FROM ACCESSING ANY OF YOUR PAID FOR CONTENT ON THEIR SYSTEM?!?! The thing is...you CANT leave any real hateful comments and cuss words in reviews or XBOX doesn't even even save them, just blanks it out like you didn't type anything at all. Also I would've never said anything that warrants this kind of permament suspension, at worst I was talking crap on EAs Sims 4 predatory gaming practices of cutting a main game up and selling it to you in 20-$40 "game & expansion packs". So the suspension is complete BS, groups of circle jerks can get together and report something you typed as offensive and it auto-bans you and some lame gamer on a power-trip volunteering for their "ambassador" program (more circle jerks with fragile egos) reviews the ban and appeal. Boycott Xbox, they don't deserve your money with their "woke" parenting of even the lamest of things like GAME REVIEWS. I literally cant even sign into my account to access offline content, its ALL GONE thanks to an Abusive system MS lets auto-handle, the first miss steps of "AI". Buyers BEWARE.… Expand

    Jogo excelente, mas é triste não ter legendas em português, assim sendo menos acessível ao publico brasileiro, pois é um jogo focado em narrativa. Retirando a parte da falta de legendas, o jogo tem uma ótima história e um bom combate por turnos, para quem curte o estilo de jogo, vai poder passar boas horas curtindo o jogo.

    A pesar de ser un port de la versión portable de PSP, el juego se encuentra a la altura de su nombre. El juego cuenta con una historia bastante trabajada e inmersiva, música al nivel de la saga, personajes carismáticos, ambientación y traducción en español a la altura de las expectativas.

    Lo único malo, es el estilo visual novel que a veces se torna opresivo y que no sea la version FES.

    There should be no hesitation in recommending Persona 3 Portable to any fans of the RPG genre.

    Mixing role-playing, combat and social simulation, Persona 3 Portable teaches us the importance of living in a world of stubborn, hopeless despair.

    The new port of Persona 3 Portable is still the version that so many players fell in love with in 2009, and although it does not have major changes, all the content it offers, such as living the story of a male and female protagonist, is enough to have many hours of game.
