So here we are with Persona 3 Portable, a combination of both the original game and FES only this time the game has an option perfect for all those female gamers out there. Atlus is making sure that no stone has been left unturned and that not a single person alive couldn’t have possibly missed this epic classic. It is already available for PSP.I know what most of you are thinking another Persona 3 review, didn’t this game release a long time ago? Well this game did release before on the PS2 and then again on the same console as Persona 3 FES. Persona 3 Portable will launch for Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store in 2023. Even in the face of death, she dreams of things that may not happen. When asked what she wished for Fuuka says she wished for a good year, “it’s generic, but it’s what I really want”. But SEES celebrates the potential of a new year. The end of the world, the end of the protagonist, the end of the game. A month in which you cannot escape the days marching towards the end. Like the Greek myth, we are stuck in an inescapable cycle of suffering, but we keep pushing the boulder. “One must imagine Sisyphus happy” Camus says about the human condition. Rather than face God, Persona 3 is a JRPG that makes you face Death.Īnd yet there is always hope, there is meaning. The citizens of the town suffer from an affliction whose root cause is the understanding of the inevitability of life, and the deep anxiety that fills one at this revelation. Throughout the game people die, and SEES has been helpless to save them. Atlusįor the members of SEES, there is only loss. It is only through looking Death in the face and understanding the absurdity of hope and joy that one continues to live.Īt its core Persona 3 remains a story about the choice of living. In his essay The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus postulated that the reality of life is enough to drive anyone to end their existence. The protagonist holds it up to their head and pulls the trigger in a simulated suicide at every summoning. The method by which you summon personas is through a tool called an evoker, something that is simply a gun. Often translated as “Remember, you will die” the phrase more accurately means “Remember, you MUST die.” The intro even telegraphs the entire story by flashing the Latin phrase “Memento mori” on screen. He stares at death with passionate attention and this fascination liberates him.” “The absurd man will not commit suicide,” says philosopher Albert Camus, “he wants to live, without relinquishing any of his certainty, without a future, without hope, without illusions … and without resignation either. The moon cracks open, and people across the planet die.ĭespair and hope can coexist in the messiness that is our lives. Despite the team’s best-efforts Nyx is summoned and descends to Earth. Making their way up to the top of Tartarus (the game's massive dungeon), SEES is confronted by Ryoji, who has now fully transformed into Nyx's avatar. It becomes common to encounter the cult’s followers on the street handing out brochures and pamphlets that describe the coming apocalypse.Īfter the days pass, the 31st is at hand. In addition to the miasma of the town, a cult of Nyx has sprung up claiming that the end of the world will be salvation. Persona 3 explains that Apathy Syndrome comes from people giving up on life. It is all a reflection of a building anxiety that the world is ending. More citizens become affected by the game’s “Apathy Syndrome” and beings known as the Lost appear in higher numbers. The people who inhabit Tatsumi Port Island are stuck in a mass depression. Throughout January the game shows the effects that mass dread has on the world.
