''Portable''〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable Release Information for PSP )〕 PlayStation Portable〔〔 }} | genre = Role-playing, social simulation | modes = Single-player }} is a role-playing video game developed by Atlus, and chronologically the fourth installment in the ''Persona'' series, a subseries of the ''Megami Tensei'' franchise. ''Persona 3'' was originally published in 2006 on the PlayStation 2 by Atlus in Japan; the North American release of the game was delayed due to issues with the publication of the official art book. An add-on disc entitled ''Persona 3 FES'', containing a "director's cut" of the original game, as well as a new epilogue, was released alongside ''Persona 3'' in Japan in 2007, and in 2008 in other territories, with a re-release of ''FES'' on the PlayStation Network in 2012. In ''Persona 3'', the player takes the role of a male high-school student who joins the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (SEES), a group of students investigating the Dark Hour, a time period between one day and the next that few people are aware of. During the Dark Hour, the player enters Tartarus, a large tower containing Shadows, creatures that feed on the minds of humans. To fight the Shadows, each member of SEES is able to summon a Persona, a manifestation of a person's inner self. The game's most iconic feature is the method by which the members of SEES release their Personas: by firing a gun-like object called an Evoker at their head. In addition to the standard elements of role-playing games, ''Persona 3'' includes elements of simulation games, as the game's protagonist progresses day by day through a school year, making friends and forming relationships that improve the strength of his Personas in battle. There are official soundtracks for ''Persona 3'', ''Persona 3 FES'', and ''Persona 3 Portable'', as well as an arrangement album containing music from multiple games in the ''Persona'' series. Music from the game has also been performed live at two concerts dedicated to the ''Persona'' series. ''Persona 3'' has seen a manga adaption, multiple radio dramas. Critical reception of ''Persona 3'' was mainly positive; reviewers enjoyed the game's social elements, while some found its combat and environments repetitive. ''Persona 3 FESs epilogue was said to give narrative closure to the original game, although it was criticized for not featuring the simulation aspect of ''Persona 3''. A PlayStation Portable version of ''Persona 3'', titled ''Persona 3 Portable'' was released in Japan on November 1, 2009, and in North America on July 6, 2010. The remake adds the ability to play as a female protagonist, new story elements and music, and a new interface designed for the PSP. In 2008, an original non-canon anime set 10 years after the events of ''Persona 3'', entitled ''Persona: Trinity Soul'', was released in Japan and later in North America. Two fighting games that continued the storyline of select members of S.E.E.S., ''Persona 4 Arena'' and ''Persona 4 Arena Ultimax'', were released in 2012 and 2013 respectively. ==Gameplay== ''Persona 3'' is a game that combines elements of traditional role-playing games and simulation games. The game follows the protagonist character, balancing their daily life of going to school and building relationships with other people with fighting evil beings known as Shadows during the mysterious Dark Hour. Each day is divided up between various time zones, the most common of which are "After School/Daytime" and "Evening". With the exception of scripted events, such as plot progression or special events, the player is free to choose how each day is spent, with most activities causing time to pass on. The types of activities and characters that can be interacted with vary depending on the day of the week and time of day. Additionally, some activities are limited by the protagonist's three attributes; Academics, Charm, and Courage, which can be built by performing various activities or making certain correct choices. During the evening, players can choose to visit Tartarus, the game's main dungeon, where they can build their party's experience and gain new items. On the day of the full moon, players will participate in a boss battle in order to progress the story. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
