P3 uses a standard EXP system but experience isn't shared with the SEES members you don't take into a fight, so it's wise to frequently rotate them. Hitting a shadow's weakness knocks it off balance and if all enemies are down, an all-out attack can be initiated for heavy damage. The protagonist can uniquely equip multiple personas, so a diverse move set is key. There are hundreds of different Shadows within Tartarus, all holding their own damage resistances and disadvantages. Each member has a melee attack but Personas also bring their own skills, allowing elemental spells or support moves. To control your teammates' actions, all you can do is issue tactical orders. Combat is turn-based, but only the protagonist is directly controlled by players. Tartarus can be explored with four SEES members.

Joining your fellow students as part of the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad, you'll investigate this Dark Hour with SEES and the mysterious tower that appears with it, Tartarus. Moving into a school dormitory, the protagonist soon becomes involved in a Shadow attack during this hour, awakening to his Persona in the process. Within this world exists an unusual phenomenon called the Dark Hour, one that most humans remain unconscious during, outside a select few. It takes place in Iwatodai, seeing our nameless protagonist enrolling at Gekkoukan High School. You can't decline romantic relationships in P3 once some bonds reach a high enough level, so know what you're getting into. Make enough bad decisions or neglect your friendships and bonds can reverse, especially if you start dating multiple people. Our protagonist can form friendships with other characters and get into romantic relationships, creating bonds that become your strength. To do this, each party member utilises the power of Persona, a manifestation of their inner psyche (P3’s summoning method famously has the cast firing a gun-like object called an Evoker at their heads).
