What you miss by playing Persona 3 Portable over FES

[@monane8706]

Elaborating on what I wrote on the description, I love little details like having Ken, the kid that's desperate to prove to other people how mature he is, drink from a big ass black coffee mug when he's hanging out on the dorm, or how when you catch the main characters eating there it's always prepackaged food since there's no one but Shinji on the entire dorm who knows how to cook. Another detail I love but didn't put in the video is how the cat you can feed on the station's back alley gets comically big once you get it healthy. I also love how detailed the main character's rooms are on the recordings you can watch on the control room at the dorm, sadly I think they went overboard with the CRT effects on portable, so that coupled with the low resolution makes the details a bit too hard to make out. I really wish we could have a truly definitive official Persona 3 release, but oh well.

[@cosmicfab7874]

I agree Thanks to Portable we can't define any version as the "Definitive" We really need Persona 3 with all good things from both games The only time i think a remaster is needed

PSP version has the female character choice and storyline (which is great for people who are female to play the game and get the immersion) and also for simply making the game worth being replayed, since you will see how the world is if you were a girl (even the ost changes and it's still great)

The P3FES is the version that has the Epilogue of the game, it is the Superior version by Story progression and storytelling because like in the video you can see way more personality to some characters that way and of course the cutscenes are necessary for setting the tone of the game, some people seems to forget that the Male MC is the Cannon one, P3P is only good if you already experienced FES.

The atmosphere the backgrounds and the NPCs add cannot be captured in text form. Also, I feel like Japanese writers are normally... less than average when it comes to writing humorous dialogue, but they do good VISUAL humour and that gets lost in P3P.

Playing through P3P myself I will say that I don't mind the lack of 3D cutscenes as much as I thought, maybe it's because I'm more of a reader and don't mind adventure games/VNs but I do feel immersed with the characters and atmosphere. However I will admit that the game being designed with these cutscenes in mind does show at more times than others, especially with some transitions that used to be animated. Luckily a cutscene restoration mod has already been released for that! It's not my first time with Persona 3, that would be the movies and I have seen a FES walk-through but it's the first time I'm experiencing the game for myself which does make it just that much more sentimental since it's been a game I've been waiting on for quite sometime. One little detail I will remember from FES tho is the maMC doing his lil run towards Kazushi in their social link at the train station...oh and Elizabeth's ridiculous coin wallet. Which, thinking about it, does make me a little sad that these kinds of small moments won't be in the most accessible version even with it being sort of insignificant in actuality. On the other hand the feMC and her social links really does enhance some characters by offering a new and fresh perspective. And her route being designed for the Portable edition makes it feel much more at home than the maMC's route.

Crisis Core was made solely for the PSP and it's not a PS2 game. NFS: Most Wanted 510 lacked free roam and story mode. P3 is originally a PS2 game and never a PSP game until in the later years. P3P is taken from original PS2 to make it into a PSP game which is a downgrade which is why there are no 3D environment (except during dungeon exploration), no anime cutscenes, everything turned into visual novels. The Answer got removed because due to lack of storage space in the UMD. Even the PSP version of Star Wars: Battlefront 2 got downgraded with the removal of several maps and no story mode. Imagine if Final Fantasy X and Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater turn from PS2 games into PSP games. The games would have tons of removal stuffs to support the PSP hardware and the UMD.

[@Phoenix_Destiny_Kai]

@@player2-lightwater914 I guess you're right in that regard. If anything, I don't think it was a good idea on Atlus' part to make only the Portable game with full control. Apparently (from what I heard) the idea behind that was that they wanted to have characters that felt more like themselves given the theme of the game instead of being extensions of your control and as such you were being a "leader" to give them orders (naturally not everyone follows orders irl) but unfortunately if that's the main reason? Yeah, it doesn't gel with me considering I have NEVER aspired to become a leader in any capacity for anything. Namely because if I lead a team, most of the time it just feels like I say "ok, do your thing but be sure to support me every now and then!" and I don't feel like that translates to good RPG game mechanics especially when it feels so close to a certain Battle Facility in Pokemon Emerald (looking at YOU, Battle Palace.

I love how this whole video is just in game scenes. Doesn't even come close to mentioning the Answer, which is not only more Cannon than Femc, but was also interesting from a game play perspective. I do have to say, it's baffling that they remastered P3P instead of Fes. It just feels too weird for the other games to have so much personality in the daily lives of the characters, and then have P3P have almost no models, and a huge lack of content. This even goes as far as the hot springs scene being basically neutered. If they really want to promote P3P, then the best they could have done was make the male route be FES, and then have the Female route be the visual novel. Of course, this absolutely mandates the necessity of the implementation of the Answer, especially how much Persona Arena is being pushed. Without the answer, much of the inclusion of the P3 cast feels weird, and also doesn't account for Aegis having access to the Velvet Room.

Im slightly okay with them removing 3d animations despite it working just fine during combat. But the fact that they removed 2D CUTSCENES is completely beyond my understanding

[@pokemonduck]

PSP UMDs probably didn't have enough space for the video files, the audio files were already compressed to hell

[@silvaitor9054]

The Elizabeth and Koromaru scenes are the best. So cute.. Cant wait for them in reload

[@TheAirborneRogue]

If you have a ps3 you can still get FES on the PSN store.

[@enzetael]

@@TheAirborneRogue I have a ps3, but i can't install anything because the OS corrupted itself out of the blue, and now ps3 hd has bad sectors and it freezes whenever I try to install something.

[@TheAirborneRogue]

@@enzetael Why wont your pc run the emulator?

[@enzetael]

@@TheAirborneRogue My pc doesn't have a video card, it just have an integrated chipset with 256mb of shared memory and the chipset is incompatible with windows 10, so from opengl 1.4 it runs just opengl 1.1

I remember not preordering p3 fes ( I was 13 with no money) ever since then I have never missed preordering an Atlus game. The store owner at the time said persona 3 was a super niche game and they only made enough copies to fill preorders, which is why today this game is so rare. It really opens my eyes to just how popular the series is since 5. And atlus is my favorite Dev so I'm really happy for them to have finally gotten the praise for their consistently high quality games.

[@amaterasumaster8781]

I'm actually so glad I got P3FES when I did not too long ago. My dad and I needed to take some old games back (me especially) and I just so happened to see the game in the PS2 section. I knew my friend was already super big on P5 and I had a ps2 so I just said, "F*ck it, why not?" Best decision I made for my first persona game. Good thing too since I don't get to miss out on these amazing scenes

playing right now the p3p with the 2D animation cutscenes mod and it's ok but after p4g, p5r and p5s I miss this element; as I already like enormously the tone of p3 and the story already I will redo a fes walk-through immediately after, I have to

When i played p3p, everytime that i wasnt in a battle i was watching a gameplay on yt while passing the dialogues

[@charly4424]

We may not be getting a definitive P3 version, but we got the new persona for mobile (p5x) which is a real persona this time and being for mobile it is the most accesible it can be

[@srezzrim]

this aged well

[@alpinoroyal7041]

1st time playing Persona 3 and it was the Portable Version on Ps4 and I had no Idea that there were Character models and actual explorable locations in FES like in P4. I can't get it for ps2, so I'm just gonna wait for the remake, because after P4 and P5 it's just painful to play through. Edit: I'm stuck in Tartarus with this stupid statue 🗿🌪️

I remember buying this on the ps3 store and falling in love. I still haven’t played p3p and really don’t plan to. I can’t wait for the remake.

[@Exio_Reinfor]

if only you could control completely all your party, P3 FES would be the almost perfect version

[@Mepphy99]

that's why P3 Remake needs to happen

[@srezzrim]

i got news

[@P33P33M4N]

I wish i could play fes but man i am not used to the getting tired mid-tartarus, plus i have a pretty far in save on P3P, so no going back

[@darksphere9933]

I still loved p3p since it’s all Xbox has but man having the 3d models all the time would have been so nice

[@rreplacement7402]

Bro I forgot the "Take Koromaru out for a walk parts." I love those

[@wileecoyotegenius5955]

I never noticed how in the scenes where you walk through an area that you can see the social link characters in the background.

[@Za_Lup]

At least P3P is actually fun to play tho. Well, more fun, at least. And FemMC is cool.

[@nico_6729]

idk if anyone cares but this video single handedly convinced me to go for reload instead of p3p, specifically so I can get scenes like these.

[@zozzinator]

You can on xbox, do you have a xbox one or series?

[@thatboidevYT]

@@zozzinator I have a series X

[@zozzinator]

@@thatboidevYT you can use emulators for basically anything, so retroarch, ps1 (duckstation), ps2 (aethersx2), GameCube & Wii (Dolphin), Xbox 360 (Xenia), ..., either in a sandbox mode (safer but costs 10 bucks) or in the normal xbox mode (free but may slightly risk a ban), both are basically official so theres no jailbreak required or anything, I've actually fully played persona 3 fes through it in nice & crispy 4k with a widescreen and party control patch
