Vandal
Persona 3 on modern platforms.
Texts in Spanish.
Good characters and a role-playing adventure with mystery.
It is based on the portable version, with the content reduction that implies.
The adaptation of the visual novel subtracts the immersion.
Remastering is mostly only appreciated in battles.

An amazing story with a good combat system.

Vooks
Fantastic theming and storytelling
Quality of life additions are nice
Dungeons are short and manageable
Compromised, like all versions of P3
Social aspects are opaque and frustrating
Combat is nothing special

NextN
A narrative with a good pace, full of surprises and stellar moments
Merging people and combat mechanics that engage, and many
The social link as a common thread that intertwines everything
This can be done something rude if you come from more modern titles.
Sometimes time seems too limited and inflexible.
The "point and click" of this version may not please RPG "purists"

A prodigious and convincing collection;
Persona 4 Golden is pure enthusiasm;
Superfine music;
Fun and damn complete gameplay;
Timeless style;
Enchanting and unforgettable textures;
Both localized in Italian.
Persona 3 Portable does not contain cutscenes;
Conversion too trivial and lean;
Graphically not up to par compared to the Royal successor.

GamesVillage
A monumental JRPG
Welcome improvements to the gaming experience
Texts fully translated into Italian from scratch
Perhaps you could go the extra mile to put the cut content on PSP and not restore it.
It has stood the test of time well, but technically and in terms of gameplay, you can see how many years have passed since its debut.

He still has a great story behind him.

A more refined exploration and combat system.
Fully translated into Spanish.
At the table, cutscenes and free exploration of environments are lacking.
Some visual aspects are not quite polished.

A classic JRPG of the 2000s brought to modern consoles
A dark, gripping narrative that keeps the player wanting more
Plenty of side content to dive into when the grind becomes too much
A need to grind to keep up with enemies
Several instances of outdated humour, stereotypes, and relationship options
3D visuals don't hold up as well as the anime visuals

The Games Machine
Persona 3 remains a decent JRPG, as well as a fundamental chapter in the evolution of the series.
Like it or not, this is the "best" version.
Excessively lazy conversion that highlights limitations encountered on PSP without fixing them
From the point of view of content, it inevitably comes out resized compared to the two successors.
