I hate it too. Such a lifeless experience compared to what I expected.
Thankfully P4:G isn't a totally non-immersive point and click affair.

Thankfully P4:G isn't a totally non-immersive point and click affair.
That's somewhat true too. P3P uses a typical Japanese RPG presentation (dialog box at the bottom, with 2D characters "talking" on either side of the screen). All interactions outside the dungeon are 2D art and map based.
I personally prefer it that way because I can trade items, learn the story, and build up social links quickly. It speeds up the game tremendously for a mobile gaming experience. I don't usually like to "waste time" walking in the same town over and over again.
So it's really up to your preferences.
EDIT: There are assorted crafting mechanisms in the game. I completed it without venturing deeply into them. I managed to get by with Persona customization only.

ps3 transfer to vita
PS3 transfer
They were?
Reading this I actually believe that when Sony said "sales are going pretty much according to expectation". I feel as if they put the Vita on market early due to fact of 3DS getting a head start and 3rd party support.
Only via transfer from PS3 I believe
The sale seems to be for sports games to celebrate the Olympics. There is a feature for it in the store
MY MIND HAS BEEN BLOWN
I WAS WONDERING WHY BIG BEN WAS ON NORTH AMERICAN PSN

WOW
ahh, I see. still strange they didn't write a post on the blog about it.

i agree
So Totobeni, what don't you like about Persona 3? I want to hear what you think, even if you have said it time and time again!
I'll answer that. I like the game on ps2 but not so much on portable. When you take out the non-dungeon exploration and environments in an rpg (even one with limited exploration like this) the game is reduced to an interactive adventure game and it just feels weird. I didn't sign up to play a point and click adventure game. Also a ton of the anime cutscenes are replaced with the game engine (lame)
If I'd have known it was this nerfed, I wouldn't have bought it since I already had Fes
I don't see no Olympics ads on Vita and PS3 PS Stores. 8^/
But I guess it makes sense !
It's under featured and it says "the games". I'm pretty sure they can't use the word Olympics unless they're a partner or sponsor

Point and click cuts a lot of the fat. P3P is amazing, got my 12 year old dudebro shooter brother into it and he's loving it.
I see the section now. Wondering why they can't pick a better phrase than "The Games".
I guess a discount is a discount is a discount.

Despite previously being flat-out denied by Danger Close, The Vita Medal of Honor rumors have resurfaced: http://mp1st.com/2012/07/17/rumor-medal-of-honor-warfighter-listed-to-release-on-the-ps-vita/
(I wouldn't be surprised if it was at one point in the early stages of development before being scrapped or at least put on hold as EA tracks the system's standing in the marketplace)

It's an RPG. I want the exploration, the immersion, the feeling of being in an actual world - I want the fat.
Not a blue dot that represents my character.
It's my fault that I expected a perfect port after all the online adulation, but I hadn't thought that most of the people praising the game already got the full P3 experience through the original or FES. I didn't, so I'm left with a soulless husk of what the creators originally intended me to experience.
Oh my God, yes. And PSP2 and BbS and Tekken Dark Resurrection and Peace Walker and...
A game like persona is about immersion in the plot and characters. A lot of that is done with dialogue but the cutscenes and environments are important as well. "Cutting the fat" is basically gutting the game IMO. Maybe it'd be different if I hadn't started playing it on ps2 but I don't think so
Makes you wonder. Like, Square saying they can't do BBS makes sense, but there's no reason that can't be up. Of course, if the GTAs are just now being officially supported, who knows what's going on with Vita compatibility.

It's better on PS2, huh? P3P was my first go at it and it's just... alright. I didn't know it was a worse copy of the game until after the fact and it felt a little underwhelming, especially since all I heard were good things about the series. FES is on PSN under PS2 classics, right? Maybe I'll pick it up soon to try it out...
Well said. That's exactly how I feel about it. I don't think a port should totally bastardize the original material.

If they release Crisis Core digitally I'm gonna have to make some extra room in my bed for my Vita because it will never leave my side again!
It's like a while different game on ps2. You can probably get it for real cheap if you have a ps2 or a backwards compatible ps3
The BBS case is an odd one as well since SE already said it's not due to Disney.
Agree very highly.
BBS's situation only gets more puzzling when you realize that Dream Drop Distance will be released on the eShop.
Just tell them the game sucks? Would that really work lol
You can get it for 9.99 on PSN (P3 FES)

Bought Where is My Heart? PSmini and loving this little game. It is gorgeous as all hell and the soundtrack is beautiful.
Hmm... well, I got nothing. I messaged Yoshida-san on Twitter about those games being absent and he at least acknowledged it.

I'm googling P3P length, and people are saying it's 50+ hours min. If this is true I'll never be able to finish this game, $10 wasted

I was able to complete the game over 1-2 months. Played it in short sessions throughout the day. You don't have to get all the social links or Personas to beat the game.
Without Vita, I'd say it would be impossible for me to finish since I can only find time to play at late nights.
The new P3P format makes the game progress quickly. That's why I'm thankful they made it this way.
Only wasted if the time you do spend with it is not enjoyable

I finally got to try a vita hands on and it's definitely a nice handheld but I just can't get my head around the price. The load times on the uncharted demo felt absolutely horrible though. Is that the case with the full game or is the demo just messed up?

This. All these complaints about how terrible some cutscenes missing are and some exploration being cut. I'm immersed. I'm having fun. I'm grinding without having to commit all those hours to sitting down in front of my tv. Portables suit RPG's so much better.
I just finished the game, and will say it mustve been the demo. The only noticeable loading is when you start up a game from what I remember. Side note, I was really impressed with it. It's fantastic and doesn't get anywhere near the praise it deserves.
