    Yes, I remember enjoying the better version a million years ago once I got a halfway decent computer that could emulate it.

    Its actually a worse option than emulating it because of the built in, muddy filter on the textures.

    Just started it yesterday through goypass, first experience with smt/persona franchise. I feel like I'm too old for the high school sim shit but I'd be lying if I said I wasnt having a good time with it. The 3 period day structure with all the different storylines is scratching an itch citizen sleeper left me with and the dungeon crawling jrpg is fun enough, though kind of easy despite picking hard. (I am exploiting the weakness system)
    I'll probably play 4 afterwards

      The difficulties are balanced around AI party members. The original game only let you pick tactics for them.

    I would've preferred a remaster that had the best elements of both versions of P3, especially since that'd mean we'd get actual cutscenes, but they did a good job porting P3P. I'm not a fan of the visual novel style, but the gameplay is still solid.

                I'm someone who liked P3 and hated the terrible add-on campaign for the updated rerelease. Getting uppity at someone for not liking a trash ass followup that just spells out shit that's pretty fricking obvious and then attaches some extra proper nouns to it for MUH LORE is stupid. I can like P3 just fine without caring for the addendum. Get your Silmarillion, Star Wars Episode 1, Last of Us Part 2 ass out of here. I am not obligated to like the followup.

                In Japan, they let you opt in to either buy The Answer for a highly reduced price as a standalone disc or mail in your copy of P3 to swap out for a reduced price copy of FES proper. Atlus USA only offered the latter.

                The Answer didn't exist in the original release of P3, though. for a bit, P3's ending WAS its ending. Not liking The Answer is valid because it does feel like its tacked on to give FES more of a purpose, plus the quality of The Answer is hotly debated in the fandom.

              It wasn't that hard unless you're trying to fight red shadows which are like FOEs.
              The ONLY bad part about The Answer is the lack of compendium, which means if you wanna use a persona for multiple fusions you have to go get them from a shuffle time and grind their skills again which is fricking moronic.
              Everything else is great. The balance, story structure, I even enjoy tartarus-style dungeon exploration.

          So the FeMC is only in the portable version? I don't want to control party members because it seems like the game was balanced around the tactics system, and the extra difficulties don't appeal to me because I'm just playing through once. I assume the base game has "normal" and "hard"?
          I was kind of interested in playing the FeMC because that's novel for SMT/Persona and I heard her social links are better written, I feel like missing all of FES's upsides isn't worth it.

            For a first playthrough, FES is best. It's the 'intended experience'. P3P is for when you want to replay the game, shaking things up with the femc route, getting through the game faster thanks to direct control and other QoL features, and being able to enjoy or skip the story without needing the additional scenes.

    It’s a decent port. The upscaling could be better, and some audio clips either don’t play properly, or don’t play at all. Otherwise it’s a good way to play p3p. Having the Japanese voices in an official release of this game is a big deal, and the seeing the original HD portraits is really nice. And it runs at 60FPS even on the Switch, which is something I wouldn’t even expect from a PSP game given the Switch’s track record. I hope it get’s patches that fix the audio, and remake the battle hud. I think it was rushed out to meet a deadline, because some UI elements were clearly remade for this port, while others, like the battle hud, were upscaled. I have a feeling they’ll continue working on it like they did with Nocturne HD.

                My point is that ever since this port released people have been trying to say this ugly-ass fan remaster is better. The port isn’t perfect. It’s definitely better to play it on original hardware. But it’s not that fricking bad, and it’s certainly better than the fan shit.

                You fail to understand the difference.
                Official remaster -> utilized official high res bust ups that were not accessible to fans
                Official remaster -> everything else is extremely shoddily waifu2x upscale with tons of inaccuracies, blown out details and paint like appearance

                Fan project -> Bust ups are upscaled due to a reason as above
                Fan project -> Everything else is recreated from scratch, such as the UI to support hi fidelity resolutions and the backgrounds are re-captured from FES with debug camera in emulator instead of PSP resolution going through a fricking Waifu2x filter

                Not all backgrounds were recreated. Just look at the jumbled, smeary school gate. And the original backgrounds are better than the recreations. The upscaling is better in the official port too, and it’s not that great either, so that’s saying something. Also the portraits are the main thing you’re looking at, and they look fricking awful in the fan version. Yeah, obviously they don’t have access to the og portraits, but that’s still a huge issue with it.

                Because the project was never finished and is most likely abandoned like 90% of large scale mods nowadays. There was some gay that managed to back port full 3D school model to P3P but the trick was, that it was running without any events and the game logic was set to Dark Hour, so it was a shitty proof of concept no one would touch upon ever since P3P remaster was announced.

                It’s not that bad of a port. This happens every time an old game gets remastered. The issues always get inflated. There are absolutely problems worth criticizing Atlus for, and it’s right to demand a patch, as well as more quality assurance for future releases. But after putting about 10 hours into the Switch version, I think it’s generally an ok port. The most egregious parts are the upscaled battle menu, and audio issues.

                You fail to understand the difference.
                Official remaster -> utilized official high res bust ups that were not accessible to fans
                Official remaster -> everything else is extremely shoddily waifu2x upscale with tons of inaccuracies, blown out details and paint like appearance

                Fan project -> Bust ups are upscaled due to a reason as above
                Fan project -> Everything else is recreated from scratch, such as the UI to support hi fidelity resolutions and the backgrounds are re-captured from FES with debug camera in emulator instead of PSP resolution going through a fricking Waifu2x filter

    To be honest I don't quite understand why they originally cut back on the 3D environment for p3p, it's not like low fidelity 3D models would weight so much compared to separate 2D images, each coming with day,evening and night variation. Like they could have simply removed more VO since it's a portable game where less people would be inclined to wear headphones or use the speaker anyway.
    But I guess it was done for lower battery consumption? And advertising it more as a VN for a different crowd of people?

    Anyway, the actual quality of the modern port is unacceptable. The only redeeming positive factor are official, higher quality bust ups and that's it, there are zero other advantages other than being an "official" way of playing p3p on modern platforms.

            If the only thing you find worthwhile in a persona game is talking to NPCs and selecting dialogue options, I dunno what to tell you man. You can criticize it, but you should choose more intelligent ways of doing it. Not every criticism is respectable just because it comes out of your mouth.

                The Answer is long and fricking boring. I don't think any of what it offered was actually worth my time. This does not mean I'm upset at the lack of Social Links or want NPCs to talk to. It means there's nothing to praise about it.

                They could have gone in many different directions to make The Answer a substantial, fun extension of P3. They could written a really gripping followup, or made a fantastic, static 10 floor dungeon that's a joy to play through and really busts your balls, or they could revise the battle systems and enemies into something much more engaging. I'm not here to go "here's what they should have done." I'm saying what we got was fricking lame. This doesn't somehow translate to me not caring about gameplay. It means I don't think what it offers is worth the time to play it.

                Is that clear enough, or should I write an essay and repeat myself 20 more times?

                It's 20-25 hours based on my 2 playthroughs of it. I found it fun because I liked the combat, fusion and the characters. Seeing my team at eachother's throats as they try and cope with grief and death was an excellent extension of that, as it tackles an angle of grief where you're not only dealing with loss, you don't know WHY they died and that frustration manifested in various ways in your party members. There was plenty of content about their pasts which reflected on them in the future.
                There is plenty to praise. Acting obstinate doesn't reflect on the game, it reflects on you. Be a little more sensible.

                where as long as there is nothing objectively "wrong" with a game, you can't dislike or criticize it. It's the "more content always good"/"as long as it isn't actively awful it's a positive" mentality.

                There's nothing wrong with saying that something lacks anything that you find engaging. You even agreed with an anon saying it's unnecessary. It's just "more P3", and to some people that alone sucks. If someone finds the story content trivial or even bad and doesn't find the new game content engaging, why is "this sucks" not a valid opinion to have of it?

                Once again, why do you catapult from "someone says The Answer is not worthwhile, it sucks" to "you ONLY like [game elements that were not brought up at all]"? You never addressed that. You're just being ridiculously defensive of the game.

                It is good content though, not just because it's more. It's quality content you're dismissing because you're stuck on a bias.
                >There's nothing wrong with saying that something lacks anything that you find engaging.
                I'll gladly level with you on that as I regularly do.
                The Answer lacks the compendium and sometimes hard mode can be tedious, especially when it comes to grinding out skills.
                That doesn't make it bad and you shouldn't think in black and white. If you have any respect for the games at all you should know better than that.
                >If someone finds the story content trivial or even bad
                Then they are free to think that, but claiming everyone should think the same thing, or trying to pose your opinion as objective truth is stupid.
                >why do you catapult from "someone says The Answer is not worthwhile, it sucks" to "you ONLY like [game elements that were not brought up at all]"?
                Because all The Answer is lacking that differentiates itself majorly from The Journey is social links. And yes, I did address that, which again you dismissed because ignoring me addressing that is moe convenient to your argument. I'm seeing a pattern here.

    Please be nice to me when I ask this.

    I loved P5, it’s one of my favorite games of all time.

    I emulated P3P on my shitty laptop about 8 years ago, never beat it but it’s what started my interest in the series - however, I don’t remember anything about it, really.

    Played 4 on Steam recently and relatively enjoyed it but fell off after I believe Naoto’s dungeon, can’t get back into it.

    Should I give P3P a shot in 2023, or should I emulate the original? I do like being able to control a character during the regular-life sections, does P3P not have that?

      You don't have THAT much game left, and you dropped it at a good part. Might want to play through that, then go back into Persona 3.
      P3P does not let you control the character on the town map, in the mall, school, etc.

      Because Persona is from a time when DLC was not a thing, so they just rereleased the game with the updates and new content. Since japs don't like change, they did the same with p5, even though they could expand the game with just a dlc. The more recent versions usually have more content, with the exception of p3p, but they lost the source code of p3 fes.

            character assassination and the completely nonsensical party conflict was the other main complaint, the answer cemented the yukari is a b***h meme even though she isn't whatsoever in the main game.

                No it isn't. This is post-4 revisionism

                so you're saying p3 didn't completely gut the dungeons and combat of p2 in favor of pushing the visual novel dating sim stuff in its place?

                P2 gutted P1's dungeons, P3 just made them procedurally generated.

                p2 necessitated a change in dungeon design because it dropped first-person blobber controls. it's still a masterwork of dungeon designed compared to p3.

                why do p3 shills refuse to admit the fact that p3 is solely responsible for all the casual dating sim shit taking over the series?

                I mean, the design's dogshit but it's not randomly generated so I guess. Not saying much though.

                I didn't deny that. But thanks for affirming that P3P defenders hate Persona 3.

                i hate p3p slightly less because it makes getting through the worthless social link and stat grinding less tedious so i can get to the video game part of my video game faster. that doesn't make it good however since it's still p3, the worst game in the entire franchise, after all.

                I don't see how stat grinding is less tedious in 4 or 5, but whatever. 3 pioneered countless new ideas and a new direction for the franchise, still has the best social links, and its combat, while controversial, is still unique enough to have a reason to come back to it instead of just playing Persona 5 instead.

                Is's dungeons are honestly worse than P3 tartarus. They fricking feel like Tartarus floors, big empty spaces you wander around in for no reason but with random encounters. The one in your picture is the least terrible one and even it is pretty cancerous. EP is a little better, still has a lot of empty open spaces but it feels a bit better thought out.

                Saying that P2 had bad gameplay and design is no more controversial than saying P3 did.

              The main appeal of any JRPG is the combat and story, not the additional minigame type shit added on top to support those.

    i will now address every single criticism i've seen of p3p

    >no the answer
    ruins the original characters and ending, also not fun because it's just more p3 randomly generated hallway simulator garbage, if you want straightforward dungeon crawling with no vn fluff play a reel shin megami tensei game or eo
    >no 3d overworld
    looked like shit
    >no 3d cutscenes
    looked like shit
    >direct commands ruin the difficulty
    >p3 isn't difficult so you don't need direct commands
    make up your mind
    >knockdowns and I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS can be spammed infinitely
    barely matters, just speeds up clearing trash
    >limiting mc to one weapon type makes the entire blunt category redundant
    yes this is bad
    >fusion spells as consumable items
    yes this is bad
    >no anime cutscenes

        everyone hated it a few years ago and it's only being defended now because fes shills were so mindbroken by the p3p port that they've ascended to a new level of contrarianism.

      Nta, I personally consider P3 decently hard, but either way adding direct commands makes it easier, if it's already easy it could become too easy.

    It's a straight PSP port with no changes. You're better off emulating FES over it.

        Can I emulate the game in French though? Because that's my first language and the remaster is recent so I'm not sure that's possible. I feels great playing Megaten games in other languages than English, might as well enjoy it

    P3P is a hack job. An actual honest hack job. Like Golden you have a worse looking game with a bunch of stupid additions that take away from the story, but at its core its still P4. P3P is like playing the cliff notes for P3.
