Why is Persona 3 Portable on Switch Instead of P3 FES?
1,270Persona 3 is finally on Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, and PC! But, it's the stripped-down PSP port, Persona 3 Portable (aka P3P), which is, y'know, a really solid, very enjoyable game, BUT, not quite what fans of Persona 3 FES were hoping for.
In this video, after annoying everyone with our pronounciation of Persona 3 FES (yes, we know, we're wrong, it's cool), we explore why the developers at Atlus see P3P, rather than FES, at the ultimate version of Persona 3 - especially for newcomers to the series who have played Persona 5 Royal or Persona 4 Golden and want to try this older game.
The short answer is that they put a lot of work into revisiting the game, and because it's the one that's designed to be more agreeable from a combat perspective for fans of older games in the series.
The long answer is, well... watch the video and find out.
Lots of love,
BretonStripes and Kotor
