![]() ![]() This is a very long game and can get tedious on a home console if played for hours on end. I think Persona 5 Royal might have benefitted from being on handheld the most. Sure, home consoles have rest modes, but they take longer to boot up and a power cut can result in losing all your progress. Whether you’re in a lengthy dungeon or a long cutscene, being able to put your handheld on sleep mode and continue from where you left off at any time is great. Yes, all three Persona games are quite lengthy, ranging from 50 to 100 hours each, but this is where the handheld factor comes into play. The core Persona gameplay loop is present in all three games: Socializing, stat boosting, dungeon crawling, and monster fusion are all here and they are a joy to experience in handheld gaming. The fact that neither of these games relies on a solid internet connection to play makes them perfect for a long train ride, a feature that’s upsettingly absent even in some Switch games. Even better, your internet’s down and you can't play Call of Duty, but you can rescue lost souls trapped in Tartarus in Persona 3 Portable. Or, you’re waiting for your flight to take off, need time to kill, and decide to partake in some of the fetch quests in Persona 4 Golden. Imagine that you’re in a café, enjoying the atmosphere, drinking hot chocolate, and making your way through Kamoshida’s palace in Persona 5 Royal. As does exploring mementos in Persona 5 Royal while lazily watching TV with your partner. Whipping Persona 4 Golden out in bed after a long day and hanging out with Yosuke or Chie just hits that sweet spot. Like Pokémon and Fire Emblem, Atlus’ Persona games emit a cozy and warm aura that fits handheld gaming really well. Fire Emblem has also seen much success in the handheld realm, as the game’s tactical battles are great for long commutes. ![]() Take Game Freak’s iconic Pokémon for example catching and battling monsters during a long flight or at a café is a great way to kill time. Portable consoles have always been home to all the best JRPG games. But, while they may look best on an Xbox Series console, the premier destination for these games is on a handheld device, at least in this writer’s humble opinion. Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal are now available on all of the latest new-gen gaming systems. ![]()
