Award for excellence Reason
“Persona 3” is a turning point of the series such as one year of school life and stylish game sound. P-Studio, which is in charge of the current series, fully remakes it to be compatible with the latest hardware configurations.
While the game uses the story of the previous game as it is, new story events such as the “link episode” were held, new elements such as “Shift” and “Teurgia” created totally different battle experiences, and graphics, UI, and others evolved to current hardware standards.
The game received the award because many fans say “The scenario, characters, graphics, sounds, and all of them are the best.”
Work Introduction
Currently, “Persona” series is worldwidely popular. The turning point is “Persona 3,” the RPG released in 2006. The game was reborn by P-STUDIO, the current developer, with a new look, using the latest hardware.
The core of the game such as scenarios and characters remain the same while the operability is improved, and graphics are brand new. Again, we will bring “that excitement” more clearly.
“If I say there are not 24 hours in a day... Do you believe it?”
A protagonist boy transfers to Gekkoukan High School in some circumstances.
Realizing the Strength of Heart called “Persona” after attacked by a mysterious monster “Shadow,” the boy joined Special Extracurricular Execute Sector (S.E.E.S) to confront the world mystery with his friends.
The “shadow time” is a hidden blank time that exists at 0:00, the end of the day, or between one day and the next.
“Special Extracurricular Execute Sector (S.E.E.S)” pursue mysteries and keep on fighting.
What fate is waiting for him?
Comment of the game producer
We are very grateful for receiving such a wonderful award this time. When we won the Future category last year, we were not only so happy but also under a lot of anxieties and pressures, wondering if we could meet expectations of those who vote for us. Winning the Japan Game Awards for Excellence this year, we are relieved and feel extreme joy.
This “Persona 3 Reload” is realized because users have loved the original “Persona 3” and wanted a remake for 18 years since the release of the original. During the production, we created the game with feelings of gratitude to those who have supported the game for years. We are really glad that the game title was selected for the award for “Excellence” by your votes. Thank you.
We will keep on creating game titles that make you enjoy users. We would be happy if you keep on supporting us.
