Probably one of the lesser known games...but really I enjoy the games that the company puts out (Atlus). You can find all of the info on the site, but I'll give you a brief overview of what it is. It's best described as an RPG/Sim and it is rated M here in the US. Basically you start out with a main character (silent, you can name him as well) and the main group of people that eventually join the party. The combat is turn-based but you can SEE The enemies, so it is not random battles. Pretty basic right? Now onto the different things. This RPG takes the fantasy and injects it into a real-world setting. There is no convienent portal that drags you to a different world, nor is magic at all a native part of the world. In fact....even though you find out about your enemy and begin your (and your companions) work to fight against the enemy you have to maintain a "daily life" of sorts. Only at midnight do the uglies/shadows come out to play. Now, as for your companions...you have to EARN their loyalty. True there will be some scripted "events" to meet them, but if they don't like you, they will forsake helping you to say...study for a test or SLEEP! Not to mention your "stats" will not increase through battle alone, you achieve intelligence throught studying, courage through doing things like watching scary movies and charisma by being a (good) social person. You can also get sick if you try to pull a Superman/Neo on all your activities (so can your friends). You also have the interesting aspect that your "time" is limited. You play through one abridged year and that's it....Mr. Big Bad Final Boss will be breathing down your neck and more than happy to tear the world a new one. As for fighting.....we have turn based an such, but you can only command yourself and give orders to the others (they will follow according to how well they know you and such) as they are conrolled by relatively good AIs. Your party can also fan out (literally) and you can call them back up should you run into any trouble (that takes time though). Finding an enemy's weakness and "knocking it down" can also trigger what can best be described as a "WEAPON GANG RAPE". (This feature I find incredily amusing and logical and wondering why no other game had this feature....) Anyway....I think that gives you an OK overview of what Persona 3 is......also an elaborate reasoning as to why I'm going to be most likely distracted for a while. So tell me what you think. XD PS: Characters have to shoot themselves in the head to summon up a "Persona" which is basically the embodiment of a soul or something to that degreee to KILL THINGS. 8D |

Atlus is a great company.I played one of their Gameboy Advance games once.Riviera:The Promised Land.It was pretty easy for a seasoned RPG fanatic like me,but the secrets,the lovable characters(The hot girls,Serene is my girl!!@_@)and the beautiful art.Lots of beautiful art,characters and nice story. My friend tells me Persona 3 is a nice game and that I should try it.After reading what you wrote,I'm even more psyched to try it.^^ |
