Forums - Sony - Persona 3 FES or Persona 3 Portable?

You should get SMT Nocturne, Digital Devil Saga, or SMT4.  Get Persona 3 after those.


No 3DS for SMT4 and the others aren't on PSN.

I'm playing Persona 3 Portable at the moment.

It's presented more as a visual novel, in that you don't really run around the school/town, you simply choose from a location and go it then enter shops/talk to people or whatever you need to do.

Dungeon crawling is exactly the same as in FES as far I can tell, third person exploring and battles.

Persona 3 Portable doesn't have the anime cutscenes that FES has.

S'up to you what you prefer, I guess. I feel like the pace is a lot quicker in Portable though since you don't really spend as much time running around.

hmmm I think I would rather the visual novel experience actually since the running around in School and what not in P4G was the low point for me. I can probably look up the anime cut scenes later I suppose. So yeah, perfect info.  Grabbing P3P as of this minute.

Right on



I'm in the same boat as the OP, but there's no Persona sale over here in the UK

That and I still have my Persona 4 Golden platinum to get



Try both. Theyre 2 totally different experiences.

FES has a longer story and has a more similar look to P4G (not still frame/visual novels like P3P) + cutscenes

P3P requires more imagination since cut scenes are replaced with:
">You see something strange" rather than actually seeing it since its more like a visual novel. It does have the female path that definitely adds replay value since the music and dialogue + which social links you get first/interact are different from the dudes story line. Also, full control of characters (FES doesnt have the best partner AI)

Is the sale for P3FES for Plus subscribers only? I was actually thinking about picking it up last night but I figured I have so much other stuff to play...



Portable. the only thing that kinda sucks is that i doesn't have the anime cut scenes though.



I had 15 bucks left in the PSN wallet, so I said it screw it and I bought em both! LOL :)
