Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3

Game Description

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 is the third video game in the Persona console RPG series. The game was developed and published by Atlus for the Sony PlayStation 2 console system. An add-on chapter and enhanced original game, entitled Persona 3 FES was released in 2008. The game has the player take the role of a male high-school student who joins up with other members of SEES (the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad) to attack Shadows and other beings that emerge during the "Dark Hour," a time period between each day which only few humans are aware of. The player uses weapons and magical abilities gained by the use of "Personas" to defeat foes in a turn-based combat system. An iconic feature of the game is the method by which the members of SEES release their Personas: by firing an Evoker, a gun-like object, at their head. In addition to typical RPG elements, the game includes elements of dating simulation games as the player character progresses day by day through a school year, making friends and relationships that improve the strength of his Personas in battle.
