Great game, but Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga are better.

I still haven't opened my order on April 21st for the $19.99 MSRP...nor have I actually opened the other SMT games I bought from Amazon. And my ex's brothers still have my limited edition copy of Persona 3. I don't know if it's meant to be, fellas, with me and this series. :( Still an excellent price.

If only it was P3. I have all the LE stuff but no disc. I bought it at the BX in Korea and someone borrowed the disc from me. Ended up keeping it and I never got it back. This was in '07.
I just bought P3 on Glyde for $8 after using a $5 coupon. I ended up getting P3FES. I'm sending it back soon. I need FES and 4 eventually but not before getting 3 and finally being able to play it for more than an hour.

No they are not. You can play the Journey (main game mode) in FES but it is not the same as the Journy in Persona 3. But having said that you only need FES since it made many update the gameplay.

Ah, okay.
Well I'll probably start the game anyway, but I still want to get P3. That box, soundtrack, art book, and empty case sitting on my shelf piss me off quite a bit. Need a disc to pop into it.

Why would anyone "approve" of this?



Vita's background look ugly as hell, in what way is this an improvement? Is the Vita not as powerful as everyone though? Disgusting.

That's one old screenshot.

Looks fine to me. At least they fixed the weird background, where the rice rows don't even make sense.

I agree that that shot doesn't look great. The lighting seems off, there's no reason to get rid of the power lines, and it doesn't really convey the misty weather that the original does. Hopefully that's from an old, incomplete build of the game or something. I've seen a lot of other screenshots of P4G and they all look fantastic. In any case, the problems with that particular screen are down to design choices (lightning, modeling), not the Vita not being powerful enough.

I'm currently playing the downloaded version of Persona 3 FES on PSN. I love this game so much. I hope Sony release Person 4 on PSN. I want to play this game so bad. I might either have to get a PS2 and this game or just wait and get this and the Vita. I hope this will be a good holiday season.

I really doubt either of the persona games will come to ps3. The biggest reason being that persona 4 golden is the best selling ps vita game in Japan, I imagine when it comes stateside it will get a similar overwhelmingly positive reception. Sony needs all the help it can get convincing consumers to buy the vita, if there were a ps3 hd remix there would be no reason for most to buy a vita. Second reason being that Altus hasn't put out a single hd re release this generation, and haven't even discussed doing one. Considering the next gen is right around the corner, and Altus has been keeping all their re releases of the persona series on portables it's highly unlikely we will see hd releases of p3 and p4. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony didn't let Altus put the ps2 version of persona 4 on the psn because of my first point.

lolwut

You do see how clearer the sprites and portraits look right?

And whomever said it was an old screenshot is right, everything I've seen so far makes it look fine.

"Likely" implies you have solid reason to believe it will happen. Like it specifically being mentioned by the developer or something. P4 on the PS3 is just something you're hoping for. Heck the Vita doesn't even run at 720p, if I recall correctly. I'd say Persona 4 on the PS3 is pretty unlikely at this point.

They'd be better served investing resources in to a curent gen, new Persona game all together.

Do you have more than one comparison shot?

There's a Japanese blog that has a bit more comparison shots. Just a fair warning, might be slightly NSFW w/ some of the ads/news on the site showing some more-than-average cleavage, though nothing 18+ & the like (just trying to make sure I don't get in trouble or anything).

Hard to deny it looks much better on the Vita. Almost too sharp and clear in those outdoor scenes!
