Every Reason Persona 3 Portable Is The Best P3 To Remaster

screenrant.com:

The announcement of Persona 3 Portable's remaster is great news, since it is the best version of the game to bring back. It is an improvement over the game's original incarnation in several ways, and is in many ways the most complete version of the game (despite a few obvious ways that it's not). If any version of the game were to be brought to current-gen consoles, then Portable would be a safe choice as the best option.

Persona 3 represented a big step forward in the series. It was the first to introduce the Social Link mechanic that became one of the Persona series' most iconic elements. It was also one of the earliest SMT games to pick up any substantial following in the west, but nothing as strong as what the following Persona games would muster, although that didn't stop P3 Portable's multiplatform remaster announcement from garnering plenty of excitement. It actually had two updated editions, first the FES edition that included The Answer, a second campaign that takes place after the main story. However, Portable was a second update that added plenty of new aspects, making the game an even better experience than it was previously, despite not including The Answer's content and losing the 3D exploration segments of the original releases.

Portable's new additions not only improved the game, but made it the best version of the game to be chosen for the remaster. There are a few additions in particular that elevated it above its other incarnations, and in some ways make it hard to go back to playing without them. Together, they form the perfect explanation for why P3 Portable is coming to current gen consoles.
