Persona 3 Portable, an enhanced port of Persona 3 to the PlayStation Portable, has been announced by Atlus for release in Japan on November 1, 2009; a Western release of the game has not yet been announced. The announcement in Famitsu revealed that the player will be able to select a female protagonist as their playable character as an alternative to the male character from the original game.

This selection will alter some aspects of the story; the first Persona gained by the Protagonist, Orpheus, will be female, and the character Elizabeth, who resides in the Velvet Room, will be replaced with a male equivalent.

The gender choice is also expected to alter some aspects of the Social Links. In addition to the new playable character, there will be five difficulty levels to select from. The game will retell only the original game's story ("The Journey" from Persona 3: FES), however, there will be some slight changes made in the original story events even if the male protagonist character is selected.

Features

• Changes to the game include having the ability to directly control characters other than the Protagonist in battle.
• Also, the art for the environments has been redone, and is now pre-rendered along with the character “models” in most scenes outside of Tartarus appearing to be sprites. The player will no longer be able to navigate the overworld in control of your character.
• Instead, the player will be guiding a cursor around and “exploration” will be more menu-based. In scenes where the protagonist is walking to school and interacting with people in class or during certain Social Link segments, the player will only see portraits, not the actual character sprites with animations.
• New battle costumes have been added to the portable version, along with a “Guard” command during battles. There’s new music included, though not all the original soundtrack has been included in the game.
