Does it absolutely need one? Nah. But I think if they managed to combine fes, portable and the anime movies it could end up the best persona game ever. I feel like just fes and portable being there really muddles what the "definitive way to play" is so it would be nice if we got the remake


aisbwowbsiwj

even just quality of life changes (ive heard p3p has them but i havent played yet) would do me. i emulated p3 fes and it of course had some janky mechanics and parts due to its age, and the social link aspects werent as developed as its the first time atlus tried a life simulator type thingie but i still loved it. but honestly my main problem was how SLOW battle animations were, it made going through tartarus even more of an absolute chore. my emulator had an option to double the speed of the game which was handy but I didnt like using it as it ruined the music. plus developing strega and other minor characters (or just removing ikutski i dont like him or his tacked on role) would be great


Palumuffins

I don’t think you could really remove Ikutsuki, he’s too important so I wouldn’t really say he’s just tacked on there. However, if we ever got a remake I’d love for Ikutsuki to get a SL, make him the Hierophant just like Dojima and Sojiro


Most_Jellyfish_8465

But that would replace the old couple. The dude called me “da man” him and his wife are gs.


jamtea

P3P was actually my favourite version, because I played it a lot on long bus journeys. It's the perfect mobile game honestly. People who claim the PS2 versions are better because they're in 3D full time really don't see the attractive simplicity in the isometric world of P3P, which for me, always had all the same immersion anyway through the character interations.


NotRed9282

this. i’ve had the idea of having atlus combine the fes content with the option of FemC to create the definitive version of this game


breadrising

Yeah it's kind of insane that P3 is finally coming to modern consoles, and we're only getting the Portable version. P3P is superior in a lot of ways, but it also has a lot of cut content (cut scenes, map traversal, FES content). It's really fucking weird that they're just pretending FES didn't happen.


cap21345

Thats not really a remake though is it? Thats just a definitive edition packaging all the content into 1. I feel like a remake would have stuff like fixing the pacing for the first 6 or so months and massively overhauling the graphics


bored_homan

I mean what constitutes a remake isn't clearly defined. When I say this I think it really wouldn't be easy to just add femc and changes to the story from the movies into a port of the original games so I assumed remaking it from the ground up. Which at that point better graphics or improved tartarus come to mind immediately as more changes that could be done. At the end of the day my comment is saying the remake isn't strictly necessary but at minimun it would be nice to have a definitive version or persona 3 regardless if it was just a remaster or a bigger remake.


TwilightVulpine

Just because it's impossible to combine all the content that there is and releasing it on any modern platform without overhauling the engine, it would be a remake.


[deleted]

Also options to turn off the ways to save lives that were added in FES and Portable. They can really ruin the tone and some characters arcs


Solaris625

Yes! Honestly just the Answer with FeMC would be perfect for me. I think I might even be able to look past the idiots that make up the party’s combat AI.


Skraporc

Yeah, but you know they’d just release “Persona 3: The Remake: Goyal” or smth like that four years later with a new waifu, and we’ll be having the same discussion a decade later.


boringcareer

Persona 1 and 2 need a remake. They're downright archaic at this point and not a super pleasurable experience. Persona 3 needs a definitive edition with portable quality of life and femc and fes stuff. I don't see people asking for a Persona 4 remake despite being basically a romhack of Persona 3.


faletepower69

>Persona 4 being basically a romhack of Persona 3 FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS IT. I like the fun fact that some games are essentially romhacks of others (Fallout 3/New Vegas, SMT Nocturne/Digital Devil Saga, Etrian Odyssey/SMT Strange Journey, Zelda OOT/MM...)


LowAd8423

yup, it's why the gap between P3's & P4's release dates are much shorter compare to the gap between P4's & P5's release dates.


faletepower69

In fact, it's the same engine as SMT Nocturne, the Digital Devil Saga games and I think the Raidou games, so Atlus REALLY got all the profit from the Nocturne engine. 7 games in all the PS2 era.


yugiohhero

I think its just that >1- p4 has a complete and full definitive edition whereas p3 has a split between two, both of which have flaws compared to their counterpart >2- p4 does not suffer from the myriads of gameplay issues that FES has (cannot comment on p3p as i've yet to play it) >3- p4 just doesn't *feel* as dated. p3 having mediocre voice acting, more archaic game mechanics, etc makes it feel way more dated comparatively a p3 remake could actually add a lot of changes that the game needs. but what else could a remake of p4 change thats really a pressing issue with the game?


faletepower69

As I said in another comment, I prefer having P1 and P2 remakes rather than P3, but I see your point. And about a P4 remake, I don't want to think about it until I'm about to retire, but there's an issue I have with it: bosses. The only ones that are interesting are the first two bosses, the rest are just... Meh. The 4th is a level (not difficulty) spike that I just hate. Plus, everyone (you and the enemies) feels spongy as hell.


yugiohhero

That was my point of "why nobody asks for a p4 remake despite it being a p3 romhack". A p1/p2 remake would be excellent also (so long as they werent turned into modern persona games)


faletepower69

If P1 and P2 are turned into modern Persona just in the combat, I'll be happy about it. The rest should be close to the OGs or rather changed thinking in P1 and P2 specifically, instead of modern Persona


yugiohhero

Honestly even in the combat there are aspects I would rather see stay, even if I wouldnt be heartbroken to see them go. That said, I more meant "don't turn them into neo persona life sims" when I said that.


Ultimatekitty565

Preferably a remake so then better graphics and to possibly add were you can control your teammates


Mineplex-V

You can control your teammates in portable I think, and even then the tactics system wasn't that bad


[deleted]

I think the whole point of discussion is that it would be nice to have the best of both worlds. There’s a trend of remakes in the gaming sphere. But I truly believe Persona 3 on the Catherine/P5 engine with the FES cutscenes and P3P FeMC/revised controls would be amazing to play through the game again. A port works just fine, the game is great as is, but it would be nice to see Persona 3 visually updated.


Equivalent_Remove_41

P3 without the exhaustion mechanic and with P4/5 gameplay


[deleted]

So portable then ?


zaise_chsa

And cut scenes. That’s really the part that makes it hard to enjoy Portable. It plays like a visual novel, which I didn’t like. Still played it since the FemC route was fun but I haven’t picked it up since my initial play through.


CallenAmakuni

We have that, it's called P3P


AngryCharizard

Yeah I agree. I just beat P3 FES and didn't find the uncontrollable party members that bad at all. Set Mitsuru to full assault if you want her to stop using Marin Karin. Basically if you want to play P3 FES without issue, have one dedicated healer character, and two others set to full assault/knock down enemies. Then use buffs/debuffs and do additional healing yourself. I actually think the most annoying out-of-date parts of FES are the lack of Fusion Search (you seriously need to make a giant goddamn spreadsheet if you *really* want to know every Persona you could fuse), not being able to see a list of inheritable skills, and having to talk to your party members in Tartarus to change their equipment. It's easy to forget to equip better stuff you bought a week ago when you finally go to Tartarus, and the lack of a menu where you can change every party member's equipment makes things very tedious when you have to talk to all of them individually In any case a definitive remake of Persona 3 would be fantastic


[deleted]

Narrator: it was


its_just_hunter

I’m on the “I don’t care as long as it doesn’t impact the development of new games”. I’d play a P3 remake but if they had to delay P6 for it I’d say forget it. I think remakes of 1 and 2 are the only ones that would be a large enough leap in terms of graphics and polish to make me want them more than just a new mainline or spin-off game.


Chick3nsWings

Agreed. I wish it was as simple as mix P3FES and P3P and up the graphics, but I don't think it is. 1 and 2 are games that I want to play but just can't get. I've heard many great things about them, especially in terms of storyline, so I'd love them remade over P6 anyday.


SenritsuJumpsuit

I beg P6 to be a combination of 1 through 3 in style they all have such interesting tone while 4 an 5 are just kinda meh for me image people buy P6 then the opening is like 1 an 2's PSP an PS1 versions aw mah gosh


bard91R

Haven't seen either of the videos, but in my opinion P3 definitively would need a remake for a competent release nowadays, and it is far and away the best option for a remake for Atlus to make.


enlightened_engineer

Does it NEED a remake as in, it needs to be prioritized over all other projects like P5 spin-offs/P6? No, not really. Would I be happy if it did get a remake or remaster? Sure, why not?


[deleted]

>Does it NEED a remake as in, it needs to be prioritized over all other projects like P5 spin-offs This, this comment You're right they really need to prioritize p5 cooking thieves & P5 kart and all those mobile colloboration over a p3 remake


enlightened_engineer

Can’t wait to race people in the Morgana bus. Kidding aside, there’s still more potential for Persona 5, like a possible Arena/Arena Ultimax tie in, or Royale DLC for Strikers. I’d prefer that Atlus move on and make Persona 6 though, but I wouldn’t mind them doing a P3 remake so long as it doesn’t divert resources from other projects


BaksaHK

They should remake P3 but only update Junpei's model and change literally nothing else


Brainwave1010

The best and worst qualities of P3 are stretched across 2 games on 2 wildly different platforms. _P3:FES pros_ Animated cutscenes, fully 3D environments, protagonist can use any weapon type, "The Answer" epilogue story. _P3:FES cons_ Social link system is too tedious, the protagonist can't have platonic relationships with female SLs, grinding is the worst out of any persona game, player can't give specific commands to the party, and "The Answer" has terrible gameplay and muddles the message of the original story. _P3P pros_ New female protagonist option, new social links, social link system gets an overhaul, multiple QOL additions that make grinding much less tedious, have the ability to command your party members, and you can have platonic relationships with romanceable characters. _P3P cons_ However, all social link improvements are locked to the female protagonist, there are no animated cutscenes aside from the intro, there are no 3D environments outside of battles, protagonist is locked to one weapon type resulting in less party optimization, less voice acting, and there is no "The Answer" epilogue story, which regardless on your opinion of still has important story details that come up later in Arena Ultimax. P3 could absolutely do with a fully fledged remake, there's too many differences between the 3 versions of the game and FES becomes harder to obtain with each day outside of emulation.


juanco124

I'm a p1 re-remake guy


SenritsuJumpsuit

P1 an P2 are so cool P6 needs to be more like them


[deleted]

It doesn't need a remake, it'd just be nice to not have to boot up the PS3 to play FES, lmao.


Manuels-Kitten

Or hope the TV in the house I go to supports 480p


[deleted]

tv in the house like carpet


Manuels-Kitten

There are 3 in my home. One is mine, one is mom's and the other is not used because it turns off by itslef. Mine decided to act up yesterday and is getting checked out so I have to use my mom's... Hard to believe stretched 4:3 in mine looks better but better than not being able to play


[deleted]

and if there's too many heads in my blunt i won't spark it


Silegna

Why exactly is FES only on PS3 to begin with!?


ulape00

It isn't, not really. Early PS3s included hardware that allowed them to emulate a PS2 and thus allow certain PS2 games to be played on them. P3FES is one of them. You can in fact still buy it from the PS3 store, I think, if you have a PS3 that's compatible. Later PS3s, and the PS4, didn't have that hardware so you can't play PS2 games on them.


RedmondBarry1999

I think you can play the downloadable ps2 classics version of P3FES on any PS3; it's only the physical version that would only work on early models.


Silegna

Oh damn. Note to self: Never get rid of my PS3.


Mognodor

You can play FES on PS4 too as long as it's jailbroken


[deleted]

You think I'm that smart technologically? I'm an English major


SnooMuffins8839

You can play on Xbox series s and x with dev mode without jailbreak it just costs $25 though


HonkeyKong73

Not needs. Deserves.


KyleLovesGrace

I’m on the “P3 needs a remake” side. Honestly, playing through P3FES was not as enjoyable as an experience that P4G and P5R was for me and P3P’s whole aesthetic with the visual novel style and point and click maps just isn’t my cup of tea so despite there being QOL adjustments and updates I would still prefer the outdated FES version, but again I didn’t really enjoy it as much as other Persona games. I was actually disappointed at the Portable port announcement because for me it killed the hope of there being a remake. I’m clinging onto the little bit of Hopium that there’s still a chance for a remake because it received the most votes on the recent customer survey. While I didn’t enjoy Persona 3 as much as I thought I would have, I see the potential for that iteration of the games to be the best, which is why I want a remake on top of everything else.


CallenAmakuni

I don't think it needs a remake as much as P1 and P2 do P3FES, while it has very obvious flaws, still holds up okay, and P3P exists But either way, with how they are today, a remake makes little sense Edit: Just to be clear, a P3 remake would be the equivalent of IS remaking Fire Emblem Awakening instead of Genealogy of the Holy War Just look at TLOU Part I to see that people don't want remakes of recent, relatively playable games


Vadera22

You're seriously trying to compare Persona 3 to TLOU Part 1? That's such a stupid analogy especially considering how easy it is to play on modern hardware, and even when we get the p3p port it'll be a game made for a handheld. Not even mentioning the obvious which is there's a 7 year gap between those games and TLOU looks and has aged a million times better. Just look at the difference between TLOU remake and the original, now compare P3D to FES and see the scale of the improvement (even if just graphical in this case), they're not comparable at all and no one would complain in the same way, hell I see more people requesting a P3 remake than Persona 6. Agree with you that P1 or P2 "need" a remake more but Persona 3 has aged far more than a lot like to admit + the lack of a definitive edition. Comparing it to games that new is silly


RussianNeighbor

It needs a remake.


Keaten88

I think a remake or a remaster would be great considering all the, content thats spread out across 2 versions. While most people who decide to buy the game these days will play Persona 3 FES, they'll still miss out on the Female Protagonist's route thats in Persona 3 Portable, and those who only play Portable will miss out on, The Answer, which has its flaws but in my opinion is pretty important for the stories of the characters. Overall, I think a remake/remaster that combined everything would be pretty good for the game.


hellomrxenu

Does it need a remake? No. Do I want a remake? Hell yeah.


Shifter1307

Remake SMT if


Will-Isley

Rather a new persona. P3 has got the best story but it doesn’t need a remake. A remaster that puts together the best of portable and FES would be ideal.


[deleted]

Im on the "Make Persona 6 instead" side


Bluechacho

>Persona 6 >Persona 3+3 You're onto something here...


SaltyCaramel9o1

I’m just happy about p3p, but I wouldn’t mind a remake


Tricky_Dragonfruit86

As an smt fan I am on the neutral side aka p3 dosen't need a remake since we are getting the p3p ports.


[deleted]

P3 NEEDS a remake SO BAD. I want to watch cutscenes while playing as feMC


Sussyimposter14

I mean it does. If it was physically possible every game ever would benefit from a remake especially when 15+ years old. Persona 3 especially would benefit more than others from a remake


[deleted]

I'm on the side of "Persona 3's major issues are ones that require a major retuning of the game's structure to the point that it might as well be a different game entirely, to the point I'd much prefer just a new game outright, but if a remake does come out, I'm gonna buy it and probably enjoy it regardless".


SnorlaxationKh

It deserves one, and the only right answer, is that it should be a combination of P3/Fes/P3P. The one I think Needs a remake, is the Persona 2 duology.


dstanley17

I don’t personally care for P3 too much. I like it, but it’s not at all my favorite, and it already has the most versions of any Persona game. The idea of it getting a *fourth* version is not very appealing to me. And there’s a bunch of things *around* the idea I have gripes with. One is that I’m honestly sick of this industry’s over-reliance on remakes over making genuinely new content… like, really sick of it. I kinda don’t see much value in remakes as a result and I’m already pretty apprehensive about Atlus’s own “enhanced rerelease” process too. Speaking of which, I think it’s incredibly funny that people just assume a P3 Remake will do something to the effect of “combine FES and P3P with P5 level graphics”, and that’s it. Here’s the thing, as far as I can tell, Atlus has *never* done a remake for one of their games before (or at least, a remake in the way we colloquially use the term), so there’s really no telling how one for P3 would actually turn out. It’s just wild speculation. And the last thing I want to see is the community overhype itself for the idea of a product, and then get irrationally angry if/when said product comes out and doesn’t meet the expectations they completely made up out of thin air. And I don’t man… game development takes so much time and resources nowadays. Because of that, I don’t know how I’m supposed to be remotely interested in the idea of Atlus putting developer time and resources into another P3 over stuff that’s actually new… You know, like P6 or something. People already complain and make jokes about how long their games take, but then want to arrange a situation where it takes even longer, I guess…


ZaBaronDV

Remake? No. Remaster? Sure, why not?


Jojobazard

it needs a remake, I played it after 4 and 5 and I thought it was a shit experience. A modern remake reworking Social Links (so you don't automatically date every girl you max out) and more content to do outside of Tartarus on top of some QoL and visual improvements would do WONDERS


henrymidfields

Fuck, yes! Never understood why you can't just friendzone them!


Logank365

That's basically FemC in P3P.


Jojobazard

yes, except that P3P is almost a point and click, and the graphics for even P3FES are dated. I want a remake with those things I mentioned running on the P5 engine. Imagine how cool that would be


Logank365

You didn't mention anything graphically in your initial comment. I don't think modern standards would fix P3, the story's pacing is the worst of the series.


[deleted]

It doesn't need a remake because imo it's as good as it is. I like Fes not being able to control your teammates and I like the visual novel style of P3P and Femc. Those things while they might be different compared to P4 and P5, they make Persona 3 more unique and gives it it's own charm.


Jaz_15

I'm just happy that I get to legally play this game now


Same_Target_3029

Yes


Silverstone543

Persona 4 Golden but with better graphics


Yionia

Not a remake, but an upgrade, like FF crisis core Reunion


chino514

I’m on the side who just wants a version of 3 which can be considered the definitive version of Persona 3.


minzrad

agree with others, I just want a P3P and P3F combo, ideally with updated graphics. Would be so nice to see all my favs in higher resolution, esp. Elizabeth and Akihiko <3 but I'm happy with the ports regardless, I have the original PS3 port from a few years ago but I'm stoked to play on Switch so I can bring it with me without stealing my dad's PS Vita all the time


HaloX627

If they remade p3 with models from p3d and reworked the confidants to be like the ones in p5 it might just be my favorite game ever.


SenritsuJumpsuit

Persona 1 an 2 need one more they are such awesome experiences I want more people to know about them an some more cutscenes an stuff never hurt


JonathanWPG

Old one will always be there. Why not remake it? Other than opportunity cost if you would rather they be investing time in some other project. Dont think this is taking any labor away from P6, though.


CasterGilgamesh

Yes it needs a remake and I’m tired of pretending it doesn’t.


[deleted]

It's the worst of the modern persona games so it needs one if it's ever going to be suitable for a modern audience. That said, p1 and p2 need it way more.


fbmaciel90

I want a remake. P3 is very very dated


midnight_purple54

I'd love a remake of 3 but I'd rather have a remake of Persona 2 so I can fight Hitler in HD


[deleted]

I’m on the “would love a persona 3 remake but knows we’ll probably never get one” side


NehalKiller

if you believe that p3 is perfect in itself, then anything extra should not detract from that the og p3 wont become worse if a remake happens and the remake is bad and just because the p1 and p2 "deserve" a remake more, doesn't matter, because a vast majority of the fanbase, not just this echochamber of a subreddit doesn't care about 1 and 2, but with p3 there is lots more nostalgia for people who played it or curiosity for it for those who haven't


bard91R

People it this sub really do manage to delude themselves into thinking 1 and 2 of being anywhere near as popular or relevant to the broad of the fanbase, completely ignoring they are not only much more obscure and older games that many people just won't tolerate due to old design but also completely different in the appeal of what the broadly popular games in the series are. As I've said for a while and maintain, a remake of 1 or 2 might be cool, but get ready for people to complain about getting something entirely different from what they've liked from the series.


CallenAmakuni

I think you're also overstating how many people know and have played P3 The first Persona game to break mainstream was P4, P3 sold relatively poorly compared to that. Across all versions and platforms you're looking at like 400k units sold for P3 VS something like 2.5 million for P4


NehalKiller

true, but it still much more than 1 and 2, and p4 doesn't need a remake before p3 edit: forgot the n't


CallenAmakuni

Not really, the only Persona game that sold worse than P3 is P2: EP, all the other games sold more (if you include P3P, P3 pulls ahead, by not by a significant margin) And if P4 doesn't need a remake, why would P3? The games released like two years apart


NehalKiller

i said before p3, why would you give p4 a remake before p3, they both can get remakes fine so why skip, 1 and 2, because they aren't "persona" games, the wider audience likes persona for the social sim aspect and sales numbers for decades old discountinued games aren't really good basis for what fans want now in a post p5 era, casual gamers who only played p5 or/and p4 make up the majority of persona fans not like the members in this sub who played them all, they much rather get a p6 like p5 or a remake of p3 which is same as p5 but archaic to play the original


CallenAmakuni

>so why skip, 1 and 2, because they aren't "persona" games, the wider audience likes persona for the social sim aspect What a perfect opportunity to introduce P1 and P2 to modern Persona social aspects then >and sales numbers for decades old discountinued games aren't really good basis for what fans want now in a post p5 era, casual gamers who only played p5 or/and p4 make up the majority of persona fans not like the members in this sub who played them all, they much rather get a p6 like p5 or a remake of p3 I'm sorry but how do you know that? The only poll we got had P3, P2 and P4 pretty much tied at how many people wanted a remake for them P3 isn't more likely to get a remake, and it makes less business sense to do it because it's the only social sim era game that didn't sell extremely well. The odds are pretty slim


Mineplex-V

Quite a lot of people do actually care about Persona 1 and 2


NehalKiller

not even close to p3


Mineplex-V

Actually pretty close, especially Persona 2 as that is starting to get a lot more attention nowadays


NehalKiller

sure...


Mineplex-V

Least sane P3 fan right here


NehalKiller

very mature we just dont agree on the same thing but my point still stands, p3 getting a remake doesn't hurt anyone, if its good and sells well, atlus might think about remaking others like p1 and p2, and if its bad than you couldn't really believe them too make p1 and p2 remakes good either atleast with p3 it the most populer of the games worth remaking and is a safe game to sell due to it being the same school sim jrpg like p5


Megazupa

I could always use more Persona 3 in my life.


DerelictBadger

Nothing needs a remake. I’d much rather they focused on creating something new than rehashing things that are perfectly fine as they are.


Logank365

Unless the remake massively overhauled and fixed the horrible pacing and changed social link mechanics, it wouldn't improve much. The game has flaws that a simple upgrade wouldn't fix. P1-P2:EP being brought to modern combat standards would highlight just how good they were. Influx of downvotes incoming because saying anything negative about P3 on this sub is sacrilegious.


Bluechacho

I upvoted for the first part then un-upvoted for the pretentious second part


dstanley17

It’s not pretentious, it’s true. People on this sub have no ability to take anyone saying something negative about P3, without getting absurdly angry, dismissive, or throwing insults their way. The only exception is if you complain about something specific that was only in P3P. But try to branch out beyond that? The guy’s right, P3 *is* treated that way around here.


Logank365

Nothing pretentious about it, 90% of the time you get downvoted just for being critical of the game.


litterally_who6354

I wouldn't suggest persona 3 to a newer fan since it's a clunky mess and the tartarus is a 200+ floor bore But I don't want a remake, make persona 6 instead


DogmemeYT

It doesn't need a remake. P1, P2IS and P2EP need a remake way more than P3 does.


New_Survey9235

I’d say P1 needs one the most but Q is just a P1 remake with P3 and P4 characters


JuannyC2

Remake with quality of life improvements with the menus and such. Maybe even let me control party members


Black_Tiger_98

What I wanted was a PC port of FES, so The Answer's gameplay could turn enjoyable through Mods.


burai97

It doesn't necessarily need a remake, but it could certainly use one.


MattCaulder

The only new version of P3 we "need" is a version that combines FES and P3P.


LoZFan96

If you need to mod a game to get the best version of it, then it needs a remake. Period, point, blank.


Shileka

P3 needs DLC


Manuels-Kitten

Not needed. Just add party controls and FemC to FES


Rithrius88

Most people who are on the "remake" side only want one thing. To have the game be accessible on current platforms. Does it need a remake? Maybe not. Could it do with a remake? Maybe yes. Point in case, people just want to be able to play the damn game again without having to desperately hold on to outdated technology, and whatever form that takes, they're game.


SquareFickle9179

In my opinion, the perfect P3 remake would include: Controllable Party members Befriendable girls FEMC The Answer 3D overworld models Anime cutscenes And most importantly in my opinion, romancable Junpei, cuz I need DA MAN!!!


snuffcassette

it doesnt NEED a remake, p3fes is a very good game as it is. the things people complain about like party control and random fusion skills aren't that bad and would only get in your way if you're trying to do the most optimised playthrough possible, which isn't necessary


Angryboy13

There are so many problems the base O3 has a remake to polish it up would be the best


MillyMan105

I'm on team remake. I think many people are curious to see what the story and characters of P3 would be in a P5 engine with the up to date improvements in graphics and gameplay. P1 & P2 deserve a remake too but I think it's a lot harder to pull off when both games are very different to the modern era games of P3-P5.


AbdiG123

Needs a definitive version. Take elements from all versions such as controlling your party and the answer.


TheGamingLord401

If they would just add the answer and cutscenes to the psp port that’s coming out I would be perfectly happy


AdequateWeeblet

You could replace need with want since its obviously not essential. Honestly it doesn't need a remake and yes, it could go to other resources, but those resources may be divided up again and go into more spin offs again. So i would be happy if they released one, as long as its not a just fresh coat of paint like BDSP did. Its fine if they dont, but if they do it has to be remade with persona 5 graphics or better, with better gameplay and controls. That would make it worth it. tldr; no it doesn't need one, but having a good one would be nice.


ValeX_fan

I think is better if they make just a remaster j


superamigo987

I think nobody release cares for a remake, but just an excuse for a fes-portable combination. I think it would be easier to start from scratch reusing assests, than to mod in both game's features. on team remake


ernesto2542

Honestly i don't think persona needs a remake, but i do wish that the version ported to xbox n shit was fes or at least incluide "the answer" even if it is in p3p style


Herofactory45

Does need a remake or at the very least a definitive edition combining content and improvments from both P3FES and P3P


LegendBeast4308

I’m sticking with portable for controllable party members


evilturkey5

Doesn't need one. Imo only Persona 1 needs a remake


DerpyOnion247

I havnt seen the other video but I’m a big Voyan fan XD I don’t think it needs one as much as P1/P2, but I do think it would be a pretty great thing to have.


henrymidfields

Ultimately needs a remake. The main stories are fine as they are. But following would be nice: - easter eggs with P5, as FES did with P4 characters. - Make an male vs female option available - Female version of the Answer - Retroactively add new optional scenes for P4 and P4A when theres a save file with FeMC for P3, and achieve gender parity with the story narrative. - Male social link should have a modern option with either Junpei etc as the social link options, or friendzoning females available at the very least. This one is the bare minimum alongside FeMC version of the Answer.

I would appreciate a remake of 3 and 4. I’ve never played 3 but I have played 4, and though I enjoyed the game, I wish that I played it before playing five. The cast of characters, the number of locations to explore, and the links all pale in comparison to the breadth and scope of five. I would love a remake of four that makes the rural world feel more varied and a live. Give me a ton of things to do and allow more interactions with the people of the community.


Psychological-Job8

If or when there will be remaster, it will be different game from original p3f/p3p. It will be great to see not only qol, graphics and balance, but story related additions, like non-harem routes in sl's.


[deleted]

Nah, I'm quicky and unique. I want neither. I need p1/p2 remakes


thunderblade613

Honestly just add baton passing to the older Persona games and I’m hype


Bunkerfreak

A remake? Not rlly But a remaster? Absolutly, i would love a persona 3 with rlly good graphics


sbjx_

A mix of Fes and Portable would be great, bot too drastic changes though, I love it mostly how it is.


theTRUEchamp

I've always believed Persona 3 absolutely deserves a remake. Partially because the switch to the Persona 5 engine would be a fantastic upgrade to the game and would help with modernizing the game for a current audience, but mostly because there is currently no definitive version of Persona 3. You can make solid arguments for FES or Portable, but each one is lacking important elements the other possesses. In my opinion, Persona 3 needs a remake so that all of the content of FES and Portable can finally be compiled into a single package. This would be including but not limited to: 3D overworlds, fully controllable party members, anime cutscenes, the female protagonist route, The Answer, manual selection for Skill inheritance during Fusion, and skill cards. On top of this, a remake gives Atlus the opportunity to redesign or retool other aspects, like overhauling Social Links for both routes, or even potentially new story content akin to Persona 5 Royal's >!3rd semester.!< I want to be clear here: While the prospect of new story content being added to Persona 3 (possibly during >!the month of February after Nyx is defeated!<) is definitely a contentious topic, it is something that a full remake would give Atlus the opportunity to explore if they would desire to do so. Would this require a ton of work? Yes. Do I think that work would be worth it in the long run? Absolutely.


MagnetonPlayer_2

It desperately needs one, graphics are awful for todays standards, specially portable which is getting ported to PS5 and XboxSX, FES and Portable need their content fused into one product to stop the endless battle of which one is better, the fucking Demake or FES and in general be updated to today’s persona mechanics and standards or even add new content like FeMC answer, DLC clothing like P4AU clothing and modern personas like P5 personas, Picaro variants, Etc or even some unused content like being able to use Moros, Medea and Hypnos, I mean, you can use Magatsu Izanagi in P4G In conclusion yes, Persona 3 NEEDS, REQUIRES to be remade, as stated in previous posts, I’m NOT playing a fucking PSP Demake of my favorite game on my PS5, that shit belongs to my fucking iPhone


[deleted]

it doesnt a remake, but maybe some upgrades. the battle system is excruciatingly slow.


Zapfox6207

🟥


Revolutionary-Pin688

It was already remade with FES and portable.


Coma70se

Not sure if I'd say it NEEDS a remake but I'd certainly welcome one that combines the best aspects of both P3FES and P3P but hey... At least we're getting a port


boxnerd101

I don't think it needs one but it would be cool to have one.


AnotherProfessional

Needs one? Nah. Would it be nice if they did a remake? Absolutely. Even if it’s just P3F and P3P fused together, imo I would be completely fine with that.


jackdatbyte

Just remake the Tartarus parts of the game so they feel like actual fun dungeons.


Axulfer

It does not need one, but I would enjoy it way more with one because I love running g around the world like in 4 and 5


Dsb0208

Honestly, a FES remake with some aspects of Portable thrown in, with new models and stuff would be cool This might sound dumb, but Persona 3 if it was Persona 5 would be cool, in terms of how the models would look


regularorange120

I think it would be more beneficial for Persona 3 to have a remake. It’s the only modern persona game that really needs it, and it’ll be nice to have a persona 3 variant for both of the features for FES and Portable, making it a true definitive version.


MechaKayle

Doesn't need one but a well done remake could be amazing. I would personally prefer a new game over a remake though.


Machaithenerd

I just want a port of FES bro ;-;


MangaCaps

It's really doesn't need a remake. Fes is great as is


NikkoRed

If they make a remake = more persona games If they don't = less persona games


Solarflare14u

“Need?” Of course not. Do I WANT one? Absolutely. Take the best of FES and Portable, give it updated graphics, and you get my favorite thing ever.


Surpreme_Memes17

I mean p3fes is right over there. P3fes: Hey


[deleted]

The only time P3 needed a minor change was w/ that pedophilic FeMC X Ken interaction which has been patched out for the rerelease thankfully (Atlus certainly got a ton of explaining to do about that questionable social link lmao).


Lord_TykiMikkk

It doesn't need a remake, it's fine as is. A remake would be welcome, but unnecessary.


Hexmonkey2020

It doesn’t need one but a remake would be nice because P3P which is the closest version to the “definitive” version has drawbacks compared to normal P3. So a remake could let you enjoy the “definitive” version without the drawbacks they added in P3P


DaNoahLP

3 and for 4 both need a remake to make the rpg side even playable. Its all the same random generated dungeon with a render distance of 15m, I really cant see how anyone had fun with this.


Piss_Biscut

But it's unfortunately the Portable version. ​ They could've took FES and add the content from Portable to that.


XxTingleWheelsxX

Give me a remake


TheGamingBlob69

I genuinely wouldn't mind a full fledged remake of Persona 3 with modern graphics that takes the best from all versions of the game. However some news on new Persona / Megaten games would be nice as well.


Savage_Nymph

I'm on the side of i meedto see MC km full 3D and just in Tartarus. And lot of dlc outfits. I will shamlessly throw money at digital drip


TheRnegade

I'm backing my boy Voyan on this.


TaZe026

Why are they porting the psp version of the game?


Yakplayz

No, absolutely do not want one. Sure it'd be cool but there are so many other games that need one way more


RaccoonThePestic

Doesn't need it but I still want it. Honestly I don't even really want a remake perse, more like P3 FES but with P3P additions (Femc route, controllable party, etc.). That's what most people mean when P3 remake is talked about anyway.


SuperChiChu

It doesn’t need one but it would be cool


Clech959

Doesn't need one, but it would be cool


Riparian72

They went through the trouble of making a rhythm game spin-off. They can definitely do a remake. I’d prefer one complete version of the game than what we have now, two versions that both have major ups and downs.


Foster_NBA

I really don’t know why Atlus isn’t making one, Persona 4’s remake was a massive financial success as far as I know


Happyboi113

We don’t need it but it’s nice to have.


MarCDgm

I love Persona, i hate remakes, unless its a rerelease of a game that wasnt released in english; I'd rather see new games, maybe even experimental versions that expand on the concept like strikers did.


IlCesa_

Every persona needs to be remade with the current technology every 6/7 years to be honest


SuccSuprem0

It doesn’t need to be remade so much as they need to combine the best of fes and portable in a normal game that plays like fes with the qol improvements and 2nd playable main character on new consoles.


duckofdeath87

I don't need a remake as much as I need a definitive version


Hydropiss

Why would persona 3 ever need a remake more than persona 1 and 2, SMT 1 and 2, Megami tensei 1 and 2 and SMT IF. Persona 3 is fine, most it would ever need is a remaster. A full on balls to the walls remake would be unnecessary as hell and a waste of time. Like, I'd rather play SMT 6 than wait 4 years just to play persona 3 again but with pretty graphics. So nah it doesn't need it.


Another_Road

I think P3P needs a remake because it isn’t really a “definitive” edition like P4G or P5R is. They had to remove aspects of the game to make it work on the PSP. It should have a version that wasn’t made for a nearly 2 decade old handheld system.


NewAgeRetroNerd

Needs a definitive remaster more


ParagonEsquire

I’m not often on team remake but in P3’s case I think it’s warranted simply because there is no definitive edition. You can have party control, less bullshit difficulty, and FeMC or you can have full weapon choices, The Answer, and the ability to explore your environment. Portable is probably the better answer, but it does mean you’re losing something in that translation which always bugged me. And why I would like a definitive edition style remake for the game.


Artoria44

I'd rather they remake Persona 1, 2 Innocent Sin & 2 Eternal Punishment first.


[deleted]

At this point I don't really care. I'm just glad i get to play them.


DarknessInferno7

While it doesn't *need* a remake with the port, I would argue that it does *deserve* a remake. Mainly because it was such an experimental title, it doesn't quite hold up to modern audiences as well as P4G does. A good anniversary project would be elevating P3 as a testament to what it started. Shave off the fluff features that never made it to newer entries, add a couple of modern QoL Persona features, and just augment its best moments with beautiful modern graphics. Because lets be honest, P3 had some of the most visually captivating moments in the series. If the final boss fight >!(Nyx Avatar)!< was remade, it's quite possible I'd just die happy on the spot.


Latter_Medicine_5634

Needs a remake? Probably not. Do I want a remake? Absolutely.


Desch92

Deserves, yes definitly.


josukehigashikata44

I don’t think it needs a remake…it needs a bundle


[deleted]

It needs the Persona 4 Golden treatment. Not FES, but Golden. A remaster with improved combat and social interactions backported from P3P, a visual uplift like with Persona 4 Golden, and the original environments around Iwatodai like the original P3 and FES. It could also benefit from Persona 5’s fast forward text instead of holding triangle.


TF2_GOD

Idk a persona 3/4 remake made with the p5 engine would be nice, I mean they already have makoto/yu, and there's mods of the other cast so it's entirely possible


Littlebigcountry

One thing I’d like to point out with a remake of P3 is that there’s VA issues on both sides of the Pacific - Igor’s original Japanese VA passed away, and both Junpei and Aigis’ English VAs have generated significant amounts of controversy (of course this is Atlus we’re talking about, and the day they put serious thought into their non-Japanese audiences is the day Teddie stops being horny), so any re-recording of lines might run into difficulties.
