maybe I’ve just been shown a lot of negative content regarding persona 3 lately and people arguing over FES and Portable and which is the “better” or more “definite” versions but honestly I don’t think it’s that important??
now quick notice for Portable’s release but I think that people should bring more attention to //but not harass anyone over// the rushed nature of the Persona 3 Portable rerelease which is what I have seen a lot of people do, not over the fact that Portable got the modern consoles release but the RUSHED not lazy, job done. it’s people at the top that are greedy but honestly in game development “lazy assets/work” is usually a red flag for something being rushed and cut in time for release. We’ve got some bad audio compression worse than the PSP original version, upscaled-but-not-touched-up 2D backgrounds and other elements, there are missing QoL features that have been in most releases past P4G, etc. None of these are deal-breakers but should be brought to attention. However there are some nice things about this release too. P3 being easily available on modern platforms and with new localizations in other languages makes it WAY more accessible for people, the PC release makes for native modding and there have been some English localization fixes, though not everything has been fixed but could be in an update. Plus the localization teams got credited after push-back which is like a good/bad thing; good in that it’s slowly changing the standards for localization credits, bad in that it wasn’t there in the first place but had to be pushed for after release.
Anyways, back to the FES vs Portable thing. (that wasn’t just a quick notice now was it)
I’ve been playing both to compare and contrast and I think that, on a mechanical level, the games are different enough that you will get a unique experience either way. That’s only part of the appeal of going FES ---> Portable ofc, the other being the new story and social link content of FEMC, but even going Portable ---> FES and assuming you’ve played both protags you still get something new from FES in The Answer and the mechanical systems that were streamlined or changed to balance for the “on the go” quick burst play sessions that Portable was designed for. These include things like the fatigue/sick system, giving out command tactics instead of controlling your party, and some light changes to dates/event timing/other smaller less significant things. For some those FES mechanics might sound like they add tedium and I’m not going to argue or say anything against that cuz....yeah it’s kinda true especially if you have a hard time working with them but they still are elements unique to this version and they do make for more interesting and --more than not-- fun play, for me at least. //that is in regards to planning around the system for slower periods of play and in the long term, beating it with a stick or something once I’ve learned to exploit it// There are also features I appreciate in Portable, it’s added control, quick travel, less confusing map, etc //wishing we could have a command/control option like with Fire Emblem’s Classic/Casual mode tho that would be really cool honestly//
