An expanded game of Persona 3
Persona 3 Portable is an enhanced remake of Persona 3 for the PlayStation Portable. The game features an option to play as a female character, which alters some aspects of the story. In addition to the new playable character, there are two new difficulty levels to select from alongside the original game's three. The game also features some other story related changes regardless of the player character gender. The battle system is also updated to be closer that of Persona 4.

Actually my first ever persona game and the only one i played
This one was truly one of the best experiences i ever had
Enjoyed most of the game even though some times it had me bored to death i won't lie
and yet the characters themselves actually act like they are a person and not just a "idea"
Their development throughout the game is beautiful
Side note : i fucking love junpei
Also fuck nyx

Persona 3, this was my first Persona game and it still holds a special place in my heart. Is Tartarus dogshit? Yes. Are the Villains forgettable and boring? Yes (Not you Nyx). Does it have the worst characters? Arguably yes. Why do I love it then?
The story this game manages to tell, even though it has ass villains, even if some moments were contrived as fuck, the way this game portrays depression in 2 different ways (depending on the MC you chose), the heartbreaking moments like Junpei losing Chidori (you can save her, but that really takes impact from the scene), Akihiko mourning Shinjiro and evolving his Persona, Yukari finding out her father's secret and the Protagonist's fate at the end of the game are all very well executed and had way more impact on me than I would have expected. The music is awesome, but that's expected from Persona, the boss fights (especially Nyx) are amazing, I still remember the first time that I was fighting through Tartarus and I had to go AFK for like 10 minutes, When I had returned, to my absolute horror I was face to face with the fucking REAPER, now that was a core fucking memory, that was only made possible because the friend that recommended the game to me "forgot" to tell me about the REAPER.
Final thoughts
Overall, I think that if the Remake of this game changes a few awkward moments in the story and improves the gameplay and graphics, Persona 3 could become my favourite Purse Owner game. 8/10
