I reiterated because I forgot you guys are probably early game. Ryuji outclasses Yusuke on physical dmg once he gets his later skills unlocked.

I can't believe how much of a bad presentation P3P was that it turned me off the game, but some people said it was definitive version. But damn if I'm going to get a PS3 to compare them.
FES is the definitive version in terms of content and story. There's no question about that. But the Portable version can be easier to play because of accessibility improvements, and it is much faster to play because town maps and event scenes are reduced to menus and dialogue conversations. The female MC option is fun too. Portable is generally meant for fans who have already played the game before and want to replay the game in different ways.
Portable is the definitive version for people who played and finished Persona 3 at least once or twice and know a lot of the game by heart, and want the more convenient way to replay the game with the most extra options. For people who haven't played it before, it is a -terrible- representation.

Ryuji = chie is funny to a certain point but nah, ryuji does way more dumb shit.

If it's your first time, FES, no question about it. The presentation style of P3P affects the overall impact of many scenes so much I wouldn't recommend it over FES even if you put a gun on my head.

P3P with the female character. Massive improvement over the original game.
The navigation is menu based but that will save you time and yeah, no animated cutscenes, but the animation was kinda shit anyway.
Better protagonist, better music, better-looking menus, faster pace.
P3P with female MC > P4G > P3 FES

Yeah I'm choosing Ryuji. He my bro. I don't want 2 physical Attackers in my team.

Question about the final (or what I assume to be the final) dungeon.
Does it fast forward to endgame if you finish Shido's palace early, or should I spend time maxing out confidants beforehand?

Palace 5 boss:
Very, very creative boss fight. That was a lot of fun.

Just finished Persona 5 and all I can think of is that it's gonna be a long while until Persona 6 T_T
Anyways another homerun by Atlus/Hashino/Meguro/P Studio, can't wait for RE Fantasy and P6 in next 5-10 years.
This just after Zelda was too much for my poor soul, I think I'm gonna take break from gaming until E3 XD

Partial requote from the now closed import thread on what my perceptions were of the characters at the time purely gameplay wise mostly from an endgame optimized perspective. Shouta had some good comments on Yusuke being probably super good during full on fresh challenge mode runs due his survivability if I remember correctly.

Has anyone watched the Daybreaker anime? Does it spoil anything from the game? Also, all this talk of P3: are the movies worth watching? I played 3 a long time ago so itd be nice to get a refresher for it.
I can't say loud enough how much I love the battle menus in this game.
Having one button assigned to each action is wonderful. Everything is so fast and once you get used to it battling becomes really fast and intuitive.
I don't want to go back to normal menus ever again.
The Daybreaker episode is about a Mementos sidequest, although it's different in game. You'll unlock it between the 2nd and 3rd dungeon and it's about
. Pretty mild spoilers, it's just the premise of a Mementos sidequest.

Thanks for the info. Who can I use as a backup healer instead of the MC or Mona?
Really enjoying the game on Safe mode. Got over $200,000 just from going through and completing the first Palace. I purchased a few of everything I could find (just one of each weapon) and I still have a ton left.
I don't know how the money is spread on other modes but its good to not have to worry about it.

Makoto is closest but I don't know if she gets mediarahan.
Game barely even has PS4 enhancement over the PS3 version..forget about Pro. Beside it originally came out in September 2016 so no.

My setup was Makoto main healer and MC backup healer.

She gets the full set actually, Diarama, Diarahan, Mediarama, Mediarahan.
Which is better tho, Rama skills or the Rahan skills in terms of healing/sp spent efficiency?

I would go with FES. It has more story and is better if it's your first time playing in my opinion. PSP version is good after you have played both parts of FES(Journey, Answer)
I'm curious if Boost Mode does anything to it.
Playing on the Pro...there are barely any load times. Like almost nothing that lasts longer than 5 seconds. Is that how it is on the regular PS4?
Yeah, loads take no time on the original PS4.
Gameplay is better on P3P and story on FES. So depending on what you preffer go for it. I played P3 directly on PSP and never regret it. You lose the navigation and the anime stuff but the gameplay is vastly improved that is what I wanted (AI on P3 is kind of dumb so controlling the squad myself was a big +)
Why is the gameplay better in P3P?

Can you miss the Kawakami confidant? Or do i just need to hang out with Ryuji to trigger it?
I've played 45 hours so far and am now entering the 4th palace, I guess I'm roughly half way through the game once I finish this palace. Which will probably take another 5-7 hours, so the 100h playtime wasn't a joke. I am really surprised as to how well the Dungeons are designed, it's not often you see so much work put into them in any video game. -However I feel they are a bit too big for their own good. Heck, they take as long as whole SP Campaigns of other games, lol... -but I guess that's also a good thing. The amount of content in this game is just insane and I guess I will have to complete a NG+ run to see really everything, does anyone know if there is something new(like a special ending perhaps?) added for NG+ or is it just the same game?
He really does, he also makes up for every dumb mistake the whole P4 cast would have made. Yelling out that they
made me facepalm which I rarely do for a videogame character.

About two thirds done but not certain if i going to finish the game.
I guess i really can't take turn base combat along with getting personas any more.
Which sad since this game is really good and does a lot right but i don't have the drive to finish .

You need to talk to her in school after the whole Ryuji thing.
You can actually control your party members. In P3FES you can just give them roles which are awful.
For the amount of text I read in this game, I feel it's a visual novel RPG. Yet, they're able to write badly some part (¯―¯٥

QOL improvements basically such as the ability to control your own party members (you can't do this in P3 and P3 FES)
However, I can't stress this enough, 1st time players should play FES first over P3P for a full experience, including the Answer. The downgraded presentation brings to it massive impact on the overall atmosphere and feel of the game, both of which should be experienced in full first for first time players of Persona 3.
Basically all the P4 stuff is on P3P (all out attacks, 1 more, controllable party) and it gets rid of the stamina system that is one of the worst things in that game imo.
Beginning dungeon 3
I'm at the part where you enter the bank but Makoto didn't have her awakening moment yet. Does this happen early on and do I leave the dungeon after it happens?
Secondly, there's no harm in waiting a day or two before entering the dungeon? I'm not going to lose any free time if I don't rush the dungeon right away?
I only ask because I'm rank 4 Death and I think I might be better off taking another day or two to get rank 5 and a few of those SP accessories that Takemi sells

Damn, really? I played P3P and P4G as my only playthroughs of those games, you're making me want to go back and play FES after I'm done with P5 cause as a newcomer to the series I *adored* P3P.
Also ya'll are making me realise why I rarely join the conversation in OTs, everyone seems to be around July and I only just finished Palace 1 and am at 4/28. Granted, I finished all of NieRs routes before I really got stuck in, but some of you are so damn fast on new releases.
I never played P3 or FES on the PS2 before, I played P3P on my PSP back in the days though, is FES worth it if you've already finished P3P? I've heard they added a female MC and some new Social Links to FES. -Well I guess I don't really have many memories of the P3 story left anyway, it's been over a decade...

Don't buy them at rank 5. Wait until you get the half-price discount from rank 7.
Female MC is P3P only, a what-if scenario, basically. She's not canon, and the subsequent Persona games don't even recognize her existence, haha.
FES is definitely worth it, IMO, despite some weird gameplay decision that game is very rich in atmosphere and has great characters too (IMO). You can buy FES for PS3, if you have the console.

Made a little more progress (
) and really liking the character interactions. It flows really smoothly, and I like the drawn faces that pop up when they're talking. The plot so far seems more personal, and I like these personal stories more in RPGs. Let's see how it progresses.
Edit: Oh, is there missable stuff in this? Got so lost in the story, I haven't really been paying much attention to the gameplay side of things. Is there a missables guide?
