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

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.
