While the original version of Persona 3 was released on the PlayStation 2 in 2007, Persona 3 Portable is a stripped-down version that was designed for the PlayStation Portable in 2010. Removing key features like animated cutscenes and the ability to walk around the environments was seen as a massive downgrade by fans of the original release, but since this is the first time Persona 3 has been made available in over a decade, I’ll take whichever version I can get. That being said, while it’s exciting to see a game that’s been stranded on older hardware finally get a modern release, it’s impossible to not feel its age creeping in. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a very enjoyable game, but if you’re coming into it after only playing the more recent Persona 5/Royal, or preparing to experience this type of game for the first time, then there are a few things you should be aware of.
