sorry to sound like a normie, but what's P3EM?
You aren't a normie love, I'm just psychotic (aka I'm just an uberfan that's in too deep TT0TT).
So P3EM (Stylized as P3M but we use that for the movies nowadays so 8U) was a P3 cellphone game (like on flip phones) WAY back in the day. A lot of japanese IPs made these bad bois (KH coded was one and then became recoded). Some were single player stories, some were mmo type stuff. Atlus dabbled in both. Sadly, a lot of these games in general got purged. ;w; Only way to access them is if you buy an old used phone that JUST SO HAPPENS to have it still downloaded on it.
ANYWAY, so P3Em is one of these bad bois, the ones that got purged. ;w; We only have old japanese blog info and advertisement pics to go off of. The link I put down was to the Megaten Wiki, a very cool person was able to find some of these Japanese blogs and translated 2nd hand accounts (I found the same blogs when I went looking awhile back), so unlike most of that wiki, this page should be roughly accurate (with what info we CAN find).
ANYWAY ANYWAY, this is a special one of the many Persona cellphone games, because like: P1 Iku no To Hen, P2 IS Lost Memories, P2 EP Infinity Mask, and Aigis the First Mission, they are all side stories that tie into the main plot.
P3Em takes place during the Yakushima trip. A special event called the "Nightmare hour" takes place there, and a special Tartarus like dungeon called "Oneiros" is there too. During the day you SL with your teammates (Yes P3MC SLs with Junpei/Aki amazing!) and at night you explore Oneiros (which is at least 80 floors if not more).
You go through, fight shadows but what's really cool is....there are boss fights similar to P2's Shadow Selves/Reverse Personas and P4's Shadow Selves. They are called Arche-Persona (Arche def: Archē, or 'principle', is an ancient Greek philosophical term. Building on earlier uses, Aristotle established it as a technical term with a number of related meanings, including 'originating source', 'cause', 'principle of knowledge' and 'basic entity')
Arche-Persona appear to be representative of the char not knowing themselves fully (but not rejecting like P4 Shadow Selves, it's just being unaware of something). They do act similar via confronting SEES. But they look like the casts Persona, just a diff color scheme (Like Reverse Personas in P2, or Magatsu Izanagi).
Which one that shows up depends on your part apparently.
I'm so fascinated bc its like a mini P3/nusona game and sounds so fun! TT0TT
You also have this sexy beast (srry P3Re, ya got nothing on this sexy stringbean)

Character/Persona/Design reference pages from the Persona 3 movies.
More underneath about how I got them and archival stuff.
Never seen these posted anywhere on the internet before, but as an archivist, I snapped some quick photos. From my understanding, these are re-prints of reference images and sheets the animators used for all four of the Persona 3 movies. They were distributed in these blue, books almost? I know they have a proper name, but the one I got in my lot lacked one. It also came with multiple reprints of the og animation sketch cels. (I am a cel collector, while they are very good remakes/reprints, they are not the originals.)
I have several more pages to post, and eventually I plan to get hi res scans of them, its just a matter of finding time and a place to do so!
Just hope yall find this as interesting as I do!

I’m back on my bullshit, as I am beginning work on the prologue to the au I nearly abandoned but have come back to! This is part one, part two coming. Eventually. But here’s Izanami, Nyx, and Ryoji’s designs for 1999, also known as the “year of the uhoh”
