Persona 3



Persona 3 is the fourth installment in the Persona series. It is proceeded by Persona 2: Eternal Punishment and is succeeded by Persona 4. Makoto Yuki is the main protagonist and Takaya Sakaki is the main antagonist. Strega is the villainous faction in this game.

Persona 3 is the third numbered game in the Persona series, the fourth in total. It is the first game not to be directly connected to its predecessor, which sets a precedent for later Persona games.

Titled Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 in the United States, Persona 3 first released on the PlayStation 2 in 2006.

A year later in 2007 an enhanced version of Persona 3 titled Persona 3 FES was released. It featured several new gameplay enhancements as well as a playable epilogue titled The Answer that featured the character Aigis as the main protagonist.

Starting in 2007, a manga adaptation by Shūji Sogabe was released. It was officially translated into English and released in North America in 2016.

An enhanced port for the PSP was released in 2009 titled Persona 3 Portable. It featured the choice between choosing a female or male protagonist for the first time, but the graphics were downscaled to fit the PSP, meaning that a 3D overworld and character models were removed so the game felt more like a visual novel. It also featured the option to control your party members directly, unlike the original Persona 3.

Starting in 2013, four anime movie adaptations of Persona 3 were released in theaters titled Persona 3 The Movie: Spring of Birth, Midsummer Knight's Dream, Falling Down, and Winter of Rebirth.
