Since this announcement is coming just a little over a month before the remake of &lt;i&gt;Persona&lt;/i&gt; launches for the portable system, I immediately assumed that &lt;i&gt;P3&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;P3 FES&lt;/i&gt; was being ported as well. As it turns out, however, &lt;i&gt;Persona 3&lt;/i&gt; PSP will feature a new protagonist&amp;mdash;a leading lady, with what appears to be a female version of Orpheus as a persona. Orpheus was the persona that the male lead of &lt;i&gt;Persona 3&lt;/i&gt; started out with, and it also played a part in &amp;ldquo;The Answer&amp;rdquo; portion of &lt;i&gt;FES&lt;/i&gt;. Curious!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--pagebreak--&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/contributed/1250604564KpbvB105cT.jpg&quot; height=&quot;826&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;620&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the &lt;i&gt;Famitsu&lt;/i&gt; ads scanned on Destructoid, it appears that &lt;i&gt;Persona 3&lt;/i&gt; PSP already has a Japanese release date&amp;mdash;November 1. That&amp;rsquo;s not very long to have to wait, and I hope North America gets it shortly afterwards. I&amp;rsquo;ve been playing &lt;i&gt;Persona&lt;/i&gt; PSP for a couple of weeks now, and I have to say that it&amp;rsquo;s pretty great, so I trust Atlus to properly move this wonderful game to the handheld. I&amp;rsquo;m hoping to hear more news from Atlus U.S.A. shortly.&lt;/p&gt;</body>
