In defense of Persona 4, this article looks at how the sequel improved on the original, and also how Persona 3 fans should get the sticks out of their asses about Scooby Doo.
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.
HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.
It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.
What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
The studio was on the verge of collapse when Persona 3 came out, and things were looking quite grim for Atlus. Regardless, many decisions made in the game paid off and became a staggering success.
Years ago, I was emulating the game on my laptop and the old thing died when I was about to get to the final boss. I'm more than happy to buy this remake when it comes out so I can finish it!
At the time I was immersed in SMT Nocturne and later DDS. I did not realize at all how important Persona would become for me years later.
Persona 3 FES was the first one that I played in the series. Looking forward to the remake.
The P3RE.JP has seen an update to its domain today, suggesting that the rumored Persona 3 Remake could be announced in the near future.
I preferred Golden and unfortunately haven't beaten 3 as it's pretty hard to go back to it. I do know some points of the story etc though and have always heard most people liked the story in 3 better.
This remake will be perfect for me if true. And hopefully combines FES and portable's content.
Prefer the story, characters and soundtrack in P3. Wait for the remake to play it as the PS2 originals don't let you control your party members and P3portable(the one that was remastered) is a substantial downgrade visually.
I liked Persona 4 better. The characters were more diverse, and had a wonderful mixture of lighthearted-ness to it, yet still managed to be extremely dark at other times. They found a balance that worked well, and had a story that was intriguing and unpredictable for the most part.
Persona 3 was an outstanding game though. The story was better than P4's, and I get that they were going for a really dark atmosphere. However I just think it's oversaturated with that heavy feeling. At least for me personally.
Both games are shining RPG's however, and I don't think it's possible to determine which is better. It's simply a matter of choice. :]
Now... Where's P5? That's all I want to know...
Why not P3:FES vs. Persona 4?
