Persona 3 is the 4th game in the persona games, which are a spinoff of the Shin Megami Tensei (SMT) series, created by ATLUS. Its the 4th game, as it comes after Persona 1, Persona 2 : Innocent Sin, and Persona 2 : Eternal Punishment. Whereas 1 talked about the game Persona affecting the world, and 2 talked about rumors becoming reality, Persona 3 focuses on a bizarre phenomenon called the Dark Hour, an hour that takes place between 12 AM and 1 AM. During this hour, almost everyone rests inside a coffin, and is oblivious of the hour. Some people arent sent inside a coffin, and end up falling victim to this hour. Becsuse of the hour, many people are falling victim to it, with the result of them having Apathy Syndrome. If you are strong enough, you are able to withstand this hour and summon a Persona, or a demon from SMT to fight for you.
At the start of the game, you play as the Protagonist, or better known as Minato Arisato in the Manga. You move into the Iwotodai Dorms on Tatsumi Port Island, living your life as a second year Japanese high school student, until one day a shadow attacks the dorm you live in, forcing you to awaken to your Persona. You soon learn of the secret behind your school,tranforming into the giant tower, Tartarus every dark hour. The rest of the game follows you and your dormmates, as you explore Tartarus, live your school life, create new bonds, called Social links, and explore the reason for Tartarus and the Dark Hour's existance.

Get the Persona Vibes mug.Well, um... *sigh* a Persona fan is one of the cringiest weeaboo species to exist. Don't get me wrong, Persona is a GREAT franchise and you just can't NOT love it. So why am I making fun of the fanbase? Because literally 80% of Persona fans are just a bunch of horndog weeaboos who really wanna do something to characters like Makoto or Chie or worse- Nanako from Persona 4. You'll see the average Persona fan in their parent's basement with their Kasumi body pillow with mystery liquid all over it, while loving off Mountain Dew and Ramen and they never beaten a Persona game, let alone ever TOUCHED a Shin Megami Tensei game. The only parts they play through in Persona and actually give a shit about is maxing out all female confidants to where you can romance them and looking up Rule 34 art of their Persona waifu.
