From afar, you can sort of look past this and not really notice it if you’re not looking for it. The upsetting thing about the way this release looks is that it appears a lot of the game uses AI upscaling. Of course, the music and overall eye candy is present, and is a huge part of why this game is so fondly remembered. Persona 3 Portable‘s colours and presentation POPS off the screen. I have nothing to compare this game to other than YouTube videos. I have to reiterate that I’ve never played the original release or Persona 3: FES. In the many ways this remaster let me down, the way it treated its audio was the most difficult issue for me. The music and voice lines should be shining and gleaming as loudly and clearly as possible. That is such a massive shame because the audio is a huge part of what gives the Persona series its unbeatable cool factor. So I reset the game and then Googled to see if I could figure out what the issue was.

I’m not sure how a remaster on my PS5 is able to have worse audio quality on my nice television than the small dated speakers of the PSP. The sound effects and voiceovers are highly compressed, which doesn’t seem to make much sense to me.

This isn’t a remaster of Persona 3 FES, commonly referred to as THE way to experience Persona 3. It didn’t totally hit me until I was booting up the game. I finally decided it was time to start Persona 3. But I quickly got over that when the presentation of the game made me forget any of those issues I had at all. Meanwhile, the XBOX SERIES X had a proper next generation port. I was a little bummed out that it wasn’t a PS5 port and it was only made for last generation Sony hardware. ![]() ![]() I immediately jumped at Persona 4 because it had been the one I’ve been chomping at the bit to play. I never got the chance to play Persona 3 or 4 growing up, so I was giddy with excitement when I realized I’d finally get to play both of these classic games. If you read my Persona 4 Golden remaster review, then you’d know that I am a big time Persona guy and that I have been enjoying my time immensely with the remaster.
