I'll say it: I'm pretty disappointed at how Atlus seems to be treating the P3 rerelease as an afterthought. Porting P3P with messy AI upscaling feels like the least possible effort they could put in. This was a great opportunity to do a "P3 Perfect" style release with the best of both games, finally bridging the gap, but instead it seems like they're doing it more out of obligation than any real interest.

TrueHD Project Lead here. I'm glad you discouraged the Atlus-bashing, I've seen a lot of that since our trailer was released. I'm surprised at how well you communicated TrueHD's goals and intentions, very well-researched! Good video and good showcase, that was a fun watch!

Important to note: FES with player-controlled party members isn't magically Portable's gameplay; Portable backports mechanics from Persona 4, most notably the dizzy status, stunning a knocked-down enemy for a turn. In FES, hitting a knocked-down enemy makes it get back up.

There's also various changes to interfacing with your party members, but that's the biggest one.

It feels bad that this was all done right before P3P was announced for PC where this could of been done a lot easier due to the magic of modding on PC.

I do wonder if Atlus will ever remake Perosna 3 with all the good from each version. Like walking, The Answer, and anime cutscenes from FES and controlling party members and Female route in Portable into on version

This was a fun watch, thanks for the showcase!

I vividly remember toiling on the P3P HD UI mod late nights after work, tracing the elements in vector to achieve the high res look. Eventually had to stop because of how time-consuming it was (and I needed sleep!). The emergence of AI upscaling was the boost the modding community absolutely needed, I am so glad at where things are now. Wishing the current modding team all the best.

I dream of one day being able to play the female protag in FES with the animated cutscenes and everything. maybe one day? :0

It’s pretty disappointing that Atlus didn’t capitalise on the fact P3P is no longer held back by the PSP, they could have tried to bring it in line with FES. At least Persona has a pretty dedicated modding community that will grow even more once P3-5 come to PC.

I'm definitely checking out the FES HD mod when that comes out. However it's still somewhat of a bummer that P3 just seems cursed to have a lot of its core improvements locked behind two unique versions of the game, even as someone who does prefer Portable

[BlueKnight]

If P3 ever gets a definitive edition, I kinda hope they remake it in the style of Dancing in Moonlight for the presentation. They already have the models and a base idea for the look of the world... why not? Of course, they'd have to make some changes to the gameplay, which I'm cool with (even though I'm used to the faults of FES by now.)

[RobRmanX]

So glad to see these covered! P3 certainly has issues when it comes to which version to play but the mods/cheats for them are so great! Been really eager to play through the games again and on top of the new ports, these will improve it even more :)

I mean I've tried modding FES before and still couldn't get into it enough to continue after the first couple hours but I think I'll give it another shot after this video, thanks!

[statesminds]

I always wanted a definitive version of P3 with stuff with portable and fes combined. Because there's great things in both versions I prefer.

[joehayes]

I'm definitely going to go the Fes route on my PC, the cheats/mods look amazing

12:00 Holy- that looks so good!!
I just wish Atlus properly P3 for everyone to play, would be so good to be able to play the combination of both games. I mean they're totally can do it

[reezwave]

I'm not the modder, but thank you for covering this. I hope it gets more attention that it deserves and the mod got more support in the future.

[Sir_Caffeine]

Downloaded the HD mod for steamdeck and it's simply the best way to play the game. How atlus didn't do the work these awesome fans did is beyond comprehension. Thanks for the food work!

[Omnicloudx]

If only they'd combine the p3p content, control of all the characters, and the FMC into Persona 3 Fes for a definitive version.

12:00 - lemme guess, taken from one of the movies?

This stuff is incredible and while I vastly prefer P3P over the original/FES its great to see fantastic HD mods for FES.
