ペルソナ3

Persona 3

Persona 3 was released in 2006 in Japan, 2007 in the US, and 2008 in Europe and Australia. In the game, the player takes on the role of a high-school student who joins the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (SEES) to investigate the Dark Hour.

The player enters a massive tower, Tartarus, and fights against Shadows that feed off the minds of humans. The SEES characters can summon Personas, a manifestation of their inner selves. As with other Shin Megami Tensie games, enemies can be negotiated with to become Personas.

The game had a controvertial release because of the opening video where students use an Evoker, a gun-shaped tool, to blow open their minds and release Personas.
