The PSP system release of P3P offers the most refined, improved version of the game to date. The game is full of contrasts, which is most apparent in the disparity between the action of Tartarus versus the joys of spending time with friends. The game is full of options in terms of whom you can befriend and/or choose to spend your time with, meaning that maxing out all your social links becomes a very tough, very satisfying challenge. As your relationships, called “Social Links,” are increased and ultimately maxed out, you will unlock new abilities and grow much stronger when engaged in combat.

In an interesting twist, the bonds you share with your friends are the source of your strength in battle. Persona 3’s unique dichotomy of social sim and dungeon crawling elements shakes the genre to its core, offering a constantly refreshing blend of character development, sharp writing, a powerful narrative, and ultra fast-paced turn-based combat in the many varying levels of Tartarus. “What’s so special about it?” you ask as you click around multiple tabs in your web browser. SMT: Persona 3 Portable is the handheld version of one of the highest-rated, meatiest RPGs of all time.

Not familiar with him? Or the game, perhaps? That’s where this post comes in. “What is it?” you ask? Why, it’s a lovely collectible (and wearable, fortunately) cap modeled after the one worn by popular character Junpei Iori, Gekkoukan High School’s bantering, jabbering class clown.

We would like to bring to your attention the below pre-order bonus for Persona 3 Portable (only at participating retailers, only while supplies last).

We wish to remind you of and/or inform you of the existence of our upcoming RPG epic, Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable for the PSP.
