Not sure how to feel on this one. I didn't like it as much as four or five.

Actually my first ever persona game and the only one i played
This one was truly one of the best experiences i ever had
Enjoyed most of the game even though some times it had me bored to death i won't lie
and yet the characters themselves actually act like they are a person and not just a "idea"
Their development throughout the game is beautiful
Side note : i fucking love junpei
Also fuck nyx

femc route saves this port from just being alright
i never liked persona 3's story. it takes too long to get good except for junpei and chidori stuff aswell as having one of the most poorly executed villain twists i've ever seen
the presentation and combat for the original ps2 title were great but this game has none of it besides the good ost
i am genuinely struggling to come up with anything positive to say about this game outside of the music

That damned table.
Also the grind is too much for climbing up to Tartarus alone, asides from the dull dungeons (aka Tartarus) that I dropped it after the table flipped me. I cannot be bothered to continue, much as I enjoyed the story.

Took long cause I played both Makoto and Kotone routes
kotone likes children
Played the PS5 port. It was fine.
fantastic visual novel. So very empty
fantastic visual novel. So very empty
Just take persona 3 and make it a little less interesting, femc is def a cool edition but I don't see a big reason to play this over FES or Reloaded.
it was very nice
Femc best girl
its so fucking good
I played this version before there was a playable character FES rom hack and before they put this game on steam and before reload and anyways my point is there is no definitive version of this stupid ass game just fucking flip a coin and pick one fuck it it dont matter no matter how much p3 you play somehow you still didnt play p3. anyways i love this cast and story and game and soundtrack
kotone attacks people with a giant q-tip
Joguei so por causa da Kotone, adoro a caracterização dela mas mudar algumas coisas do jogo original diminui bastante o impacto e o significado final do jogo. Tirando isso Kotone eu te amo por favor Atlus libera ela ai...

Persona 3, this was my first Persona game and it still holds a special place in my heart. Is Tartarus dogshit? Yes. Are the Villains forgettable and boring? Yes (Not you Nyx). Does it have the worst characters? Arguably yes. Why do I love it then?
The story this game manages to tell, even though it has ass villains, even if some moments were contrived as fuck, the way this game portrays depression in 2 different ways (depending on the MC you chose), the heartbreaking moments like Junpei losing Chidori (you can save her, but that really takes impact from the scene), Akihiko mourning Shinjiro and evolving his Persona, Yukari finding out her father's secret and the Protagonist's fate at the end of the game are all very well executed and had way more impact on me than I would have expected. The music is awesome, but that's expected from Persona, the boss fights (especially Nyx) are amazing, I still remember the first time that I was fighting through Tartarus and I had to go AFK for like 10 minutes, When I had returned, to my absolute horror I was face to face with the fucking REAPER, now that was a core fucking memory, that was only made possible because the friend that recommended the game to me "forgot" to tell me about the REAPER.
Final thoughts
Overall, I think that if the Remake of this game changes a few awkward moments in the story and improves the gameplay and graphics, Persona 3 could become my favourite Purse Owner game. 8/10

The only decent version of Persona 3 for years. Every criticism I've seen of this game compared to the original has basically been a pro rather than a con.
Visual Novel style? Kinda fits the RPG whose overworld consists of only text. The Answer's not included? Good. No animated cutscenes? Potentially good, I do genuinely think people who see this as a huge loss need to play games other than Persona tho.
The social links for female side are also markedly better than OG's tho I will say whoever wrote Ken's needs to be locked up and I feel like that's an incredibly cold take. But at the end of the day it's still Persona 3, if you wanna play FeMC that bad I'd say just play Q2.

Pretty much just FES but better... mostly. Portable looks at all the issues with the character cast and thinks "hm... what if we just fixed every single issue with them, and made the best cast of social links in the franchise?" And so they did. However, in classic Atlus fashion when something great is added something is taken away; in this case it's that the games visuals were stripped down to work with a small portable console and animated cutscenes were removed. I personally still value the changed social links WAY over these downgrades, but I understand why people don't like it. Personally, I recommend playing Reload first, then trying Portable.
I haven't finished this game yet and all I have to say is that I am craving to get my Xbox Game Pass back so I can play Reload since Reload feels way better to play, nothing against the visual novel style of storytelling because I kinda like it a lot but Reload is just way better in every consivable way.
still love it

A adição do party controlável é boa, mas o formato visual novel e point-in-click não me agradou nem um pouco, a personagem feminina foi a melhor adição, com novos social links e diferentes escolhas de falas.
my first shin megami tensei
the storyline is great
multiple different character personalities
game gives you many options

depression
not executed super well I honestly love what they went for. I mean it’s persona 3 what can you hate.
The greatest game of all time.
FEMC music slams
good and long
My "hot take" is that this is a good version of this game. I always feel like I have to defend this opinion but a lot of what makes the game great is here in this version, with some improvements. Would I recommend this as a way to first experience this game? Probably not, even though it was how I did. It's more a neat bonus way to play it for a repeat playthrough.
