Persona 3 story description
[edit]Everything said from the story in the article is true, but are you certain it's not too long? Also I removed referring the Protagonist as Minato Arisato, since it's his name only in the manga. And not even Persona 4's Protagonist is referred by the name Yu Narukami what he uses in Persona 4 Arena or the anime. CAJH (talk) 15:59, 16 July 2013 (EET)
- I know this article is already considered as 'good'. But I hope it could be that also even with few things fixed on it. CAJH (talk) 16:01, 16 July 2013 (EET)
Related to Midnighters books?
[edit]There is a book trilogy, Midnighters by Scott Westerfeld, which has a very similar premise and setting, and first came out in 2004, two years before P3 was released. Are they possibly related, perhaps as inspiration, and should this be mentioned anywhere in the article?
A very brief summary of the book setting: In a small town, there is an extra hour at midnight, called the Blue Hour or Midnight Hour, where electricity, etc. doesn't work, and only a few individuals, who were born at precisely midnight, can still move around even though everyone else is frozen. The Blue hour is populated by Darklings who prey on humans, and each of the awake-people has a special Power that helps them work together to stave off the monsters. 128.114.255.213 (talk) 23:09, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
Reverting back to the Japanese cover art
[edit]Up until 24 August 2023, this article used the box art from the original Japanese version, but now uses that of the original North American release. There does not appear to be any reasoning given for this change, and I propose reverting back to the Japanese cover art.
Firstly, the change was unnecessary, and as demonstrated by articles like Ico, Silent Hill 3, TimeSplitters 2, Jet Set Radio, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, there is no strict adherence to North American box art on Wikipedia.
Secondly, it was agreed in 2018 to move this article from "Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3" to simply "Persona 3"; the Japanese box art is more consistent with this nomenclature as it lacks the SMT prefix.
Thirdly, it would complement the Persona 3 Reload article and better convey it to readers as a remake, since the cover art for Reload is based on the Japanese PS2 version's box art. 675930s (talk) 10:45, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
