FES is superior overall, but man i LOVE femc's design and characterization, so my highest hopes are adding her to the FES version somehow, along with the other extra portable content, not likely but man that'd be awesome

[@RPGchallengeruns]

A "best of both worlds" situation? We can only hope!

[@HollowRoll]

I'm definitely glad that P3P got remastered. So many of the quality of life changes that were added are really great, and the extra main character alone is worth it. They should have done a better job with a lot of things though. I had to install a mod to fix the audio, and they could have remastered FES to add a lot of the things P3P added. There is a mod that has just been released that brings back the anime cutscenes, which is another thing Atlus could have easily done. I would certainly be open top a full P3FES remake, but I think the hardcore FES fans do vastly overstate the value FES has over P3P. IMO the biggest thing that P3P is missing is the visual gags during the Elizabeth dates and similar sections.

[@yoursonisold8743]

In regards to the cutscenes, it wouldn't make sense to have them because there is no femC version and they would never have spent the money on animating new ones for a remaster. The mod you mention is virtually useless to me for example as I only play as femC. And yeah, FES diehards tend to just focus on the wrong things. Slight graphic and sound fidelity do not make up for all the quality of life improvements in the combat and The Answer is _terrible_ , so it can't even hold a candle to the content femC added to the game. The writing in femC's campagin is just plain superior to maleC's, not to mention The Answer's trashfire.

The only thing I don't like in portable is that fusion spells are craftable consumables instead of just skills. I like FES mainly because of P3P's visual novel style of the overworld exploration, but that just comes to personal taste, I absolutely respect P3P fans.

[@Naterkix]

Technically Officer Kurosawa is only selling weapons to the SEES members. I was always fine with that explanation but what bugged me was where the sweet, tasty hell is he getting his inventory?! Especially _literal android parts_ for Aegis. As far as P3P vs FES, I like that they went with P3P. Even though you're loosing anime scenes and exploration but being able to control the party and the FeMC makes it totally worth playing. Running around gets a little tedious 60+ hours in anyway.

Love this channel. So why didn't they remake FES? Because the engine Persona 3, FES and 4 were made on, RenderWare, is mostly gone and what's left is owned by Electronic Arts. P3P and P4G are on different engines. They had to completely rebuild Nocturne for the HD remaster.

[@Ergeniz]

I assume that applies to Digital Devil Saga as well

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Ah, that would explain it. Thanks for the insight!

[@jamesalexander5559]

Last I heard EA would honor any licenses to former RenderWare clients. Though the engine never got an official Nintendo Switch port and I'm not sure how good the PS4 and Xbox One ports of RenderWare are so it makes sense that Atlus didn't bother.

[@DavidJohnson-oj5ju]

I'm guessing this is why others I head about this from said that P3FES was a spaghetti code nightmare and not suitable for a remaster as it would likely have taken a lot more time and cost a lot more money to rebuild P3FES in a more modern engine (although considering the issues I've seen as well as what happened in this video it looks like this was a rushed out the door port littered with more bugs then the PSP version and I've played the PSP version to completion with no bugs at all).

One of the things I miss the most is the color scheme. FES has this really calming dark teal blue over most of the world, sometimes brightening for the school setting. It's a murky, contrasted, somewhat surreal dichotomy between the dark and the light, and it really represents the protagonist's dual life in Gekkoukan and Tartarus. Thanks for asking. I'm new to the channel, but I already love it :)

But Persona 3 FES don't have direct commands! You can't control your team! Persona 3 Portable have Better gameplay!😌 Also! You can be a cute waifu if you want!😏 Giggity! Dating Akihiko and Shinjiro at the same time without punishment!😂

I would have liked to see a remaster of P3FES, but with the option to Driect Command your party that they added in P3P. That's the only reason I never completed P3.

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Good point, direct commands really help.

[@vinigmoura]

P3 is my fav game of all time, however I dont think it needs a full remake, P1 is a much better candidate for a remake. This remaster should have brought back the 3d exploration with the female character too and the possibility to use any kind of weapon like the vanilla version, it was strategically awesome.

[@TheDrakim]

Very entertaining to watch you play through difficult challenges and its commentary. Coming from the tales of challenge video I giggled everytime you mentioned M M M MASSIVE DAMAGE. Good to see it returned😂

I tried using only Angel in P4G because it's a good persona you can find in Yukiko's dungeon lol

Moonkist is a rift on Sunkist, a Orange flavored sofa. I know it's in the US but maybe isn't in other countries.

[@legrettagrants6470]

Personally, I'm very happy with P3P being returned to the fore, not least because of the FemPC being the only one in the series (Persona 2 Part 2 aside) that is actually the main lead in...pretty much any SMT game (besides, P2: 2 and Soul Hackers 2). I keep holding out a tacit hope that the next Persona will finally give us another one. Despite it being as depressing as it is, P3P was the most comfortable Persona to me because of her. Also, awesome run! Would you perhaps consider doing a challenge run in Bravely Default (the very first one)? Like, no using the Brave/Default mechanic?

[@znols._.2389]

Bruh, you just get telos in a only angel run, thats bad luck 💀

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Haha yeah, I didn't even realise it was possible to get Telos by fusion accident!

[@ntrg3248]

The real reason Portable got the pc port and not fes is because they dont have the source code for fes anymore so they didnt really have a choice. Even then P3P is more accessible with skill cards and controllable party so its not a surprise they chose it

[@Kaiserdudegaming]

Taking you up on your "respond to as many comments as I can" thing in case you do so. Atlus having weird questionable decisions for years on the rereleases of Persona games has me sad as a fan, but honestly fans doing the work themselves using older titles is the best way ... so far beyond what has been put forth at the moment. Had Atlus been upfront about why they couldn't do FES or put in actual work to make a "definitive" version of 3, then I'd be more understanding. Just as a persona fan (mostly of 3, 4, and 5), I feel gipped by the business decisions around the IP, hard to keep being a fan. Moonkist = Sunkist Also, the YT algorithm showed me this a bit late.

[@RPGchallengeruns]

You're totally right about Atlus, but I don't think they'll ever admit it. Just gotta rely on those modders, I suppose! Glad you enjoyed it and I hope to see you in the next one! (Bonus points if you crack open a cold can of Sunkist to enjoy with it!)

[@MasterAlt]

Junpei just takes the Kel approach "He's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes yeah"

Ok next run idea persona 5 royale with only angel.

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Good idea for some time in the future!

[@theblueninjagaming3698]

"Moonkist" is meant to be the brand "Sunkist"

[@eclipseslsr8753]

Female protagonist. Literally, she is my only reason to play back this game. If she is made available for FES, I would play that version. Otherwise, I would skip the game entirely.

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Wow that's some serious dedication! XD

[@Knife_The_Namase]

I honestly prefer being able to experience the gameplay of Portable over FES. There are some mechanics, like the fusion skills and the MC being able to equip any weapon type that would’ve been fun to use, but the simple fact that Portable allows you to fully control your party is something I much prefer. I also like the addition of the FemC and the new social links that come with her in Portable. And while it’s a shame that Portable doesn’t have the 3D cutscenes (or the animated ones, at that), it’s something I don’t really have to experience for myself; Just watching a playthrough of it is enough. So yeah, while the Portable port was lazy, I do prefer it over FES.

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Good points, Portable definitely has some big gameplay upgrades over FES!

[@whodatchris1873]

The remaster of persona 3 portable was my first time playing the game. So im happy I was able to buy it on console

How about this challenge: No Fusing, No Skill Cards, etc. (Maybe Growth is allowed to reduce the Grind) You are only allowed to use the default abilities each Persona brings and you can only use the Personas you find. Additionally, no removing Personas, so use your slots wisely... Edit: Can be any of the Persona Games, doesn't have to be P3P

[@RPGchallengeruns]

That actually sounds really interesting!

[@johandori7795]

So, taking a pause mid video to say: moonkist is a parody of Sunkist, a brand of orange sodapop. Given this video is between one and two months old, you honestly have probably heard this already, but I figure the channel engagement will probably be nothing but a good thing based on my limited knowledge pool. Also, I just found your videos a few days ago with, if I'm remembering correctly, your FFXV magic only run, and I'm really liking what you do. I hope you can keep up the great work you've been doing, but I hope even more that you don't burn yourself out and/or ruin your ability to enjoy the things you do. I've heard you mention a few times that you are committed to getting one challenge run out each month, and while that's great as a viewer, I hope you'll take a break and let yourself breathe if things ever start getting to be too much. Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful day today, and many more to come.

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Thanks, that's one of the nicest comments I've read all day! You're right though, these games are massive and trying to get a video out every month is pretty tough!
