- Fun SMT game, enjoyed the gameplay element of it the most.
- Anime plot with alright writing and voice acting when its there.
- While the gameplay, the combat is very fun, this being Tartarus felt very repetitive and just boring by the end of the game.

It's good. Quality of life features from P4 are a welcome change. liked the game's themes and aesthetic. some social links may not have aged well. Tartarus may not have aged well. memorable soundtrack. FemC route reads like a fanfiction but is overall pretty solid and adds replayability to the game. good times
God I wish Atlus made a clear definite edition of Persona 3, maybe the inevitable Persona 3 Re-Reload will be it. In narrative and atmosphere, P3 is much stronger than 4 or 5 as the last Persona game to maintain some of the dark tones of the parent SMT series, and this version brings some of the QoL features from P4 to make the game a little less punishing (the later games, especially P5R are mechanically more interesting games I'll grant). The original route is still there, and the FeMC route is even better. Given the limitations of the PSP disc, it moves to a visual novel style for the daytime exploration, which didn't bother me, but is a downgrade from the PS2 versions, and loses the animated cutscenes, which is a unfortunate loss. Still a must-play JRPG and one of the best games Atlus has made.
best game i have played on psp
not a fan of this format of persona 3 at all, one of the biggest reasons i love it so much is due to its atmosphere and whilst some of it does remain i feel the non 3d format and lack of animated cutscenes hinders it too much for me to recommend this version of the game to anyone . its also just kinda not engaging at all watching these cutscenes in vn format.
A compromised port of FES with slightly easier gameplay, but FeMC’s additions push Persona’s social aspects to new heights with massively improved social links, some of which have yet to be matched. Akinari is also in both routes so it’s automatically good on that fact alone.
Meu primeiro Persona, amei a mecânica de Social Link, combate super divertido, temática super envolvente e um dos melhores finais que já vi na vida. Estou apaixonado.
downgraded p3 but atleast it has FeMC
FeMC fans I understand the struggle now

This game changed my life.
I remember the day I got it on the Vita online shop, I had just played Persona 4 Golden and I had an itch I needed to scratch, I heard I could play as a girl in this one too!
Then, just like that, my view on the very concept of death is completely changed.
When I first found this game I'd restlessly toss and turn in my bed in terror of the inevitability of death, then this game told me to stare death directly in the face and accept it.
All the good, all the bad, death should not stop me from living. Live in the time that you have, experience the beauty.
Burn your dread.

I really loved playing portable even though I prefer FES more. I do not mind the visual novel presentation it was kind of relaxing and also really comfortable when you play it on a handheld. It also looks great on the small Psp screen. It was also my first time playing the femc route. I really enjoyed the new social links especially the Shinjiro, Junpei ones and also from the new characters like Rio and Saori. I played the game on hard but did not do a new game plus run or finished the Magaret quest. I also liked the new tracks for the femc route my favorite is probably a way of life. I really liked the femc route and I think it is a cool idea but I personally could connect more with the male main character route.

i feel like i shoulda played the other versions first but i really wanted to play as kotone so p3p was my first experience.
i mean it’s alright it’s nothing too bad nor that good tbh. i really hated that lil plot twist with ikutsuki. pissed me off so much i dropped the game for like 4 months lol. i picked it back up though and it’s not as bad as i made it out to be. i love bittersweet endings and this one definitely goes up on the list for the ones i love.
even when i wasn’t playing it though i listened to the soundtrack cuz it was such a vibe. annoyed tf outta my friend cuz anytime i was listening to it i felt the need to let her know and get her to listen aswell.

I ended up loving this game so much that I decided that I’m gonna go for the platinum. Successfully got all trophies in Male character playthrough, still need to get the Female character trophies.
Fun story but dear lord this was not fun how did i have fun when i played this
Kimi wa ne tashika ni ano toki watashi no soba ni ita Itsudatte itsudatte itsudatte sugu yoko de waratteita nakushitemo Torimodosu kimi wo I will never leave you
Malgré le point and click qui peut en rebuter certains (a juste titre), je le considère comme étant un titre a jouer, surtout pour la route féminine, qui est un véritable ajout intéressant, et pas uniquement un copié collé d'un autre genre du personnage principal masculin.
Undisputed best version of p3 before Reload was a thing. But anyway, same thing i said for reload, peak story, peak characters, just worse graphics and gameplay
Playing as a bisexual queen was sadly not enough for this one
deep inside my mind
the first j-rpg games i finished,and it make me addicted with rpg genre
if i hear one more ken amada joke i swear to god

Finally I get to feel Akihiko's abs without feeling (very) gay
I love persona 3 so much to the point where i played it again so i could play it as a visual novel and with a female protag
persona 3 reload ta ai pra eu terminar esse jogo de vdd
ok so i need to clarify some things before i talk about the game.
my first experience with persona 3 was on youtube with persona 3 FES (just your average persona fan amirite :P) after i found out there is no actual definitive way to play persona 3 (this was before reload was even announced)
so ill talk about my experience with the story and presentation first with FES and the gameplay with portable. don't worry! i will eventually play persona 3 FES to make things fair, just letting you know!
review start below
holy hell this game was an experience, the story, tone, and atmosphere was such a drastic difference having played 4 and 5. and i love it!! it makes sense as this is the first evolution of the franchise after the persona 2 games so it still contains some of the Shin Megami Tensei DNA. the characters are also really good! very different dynamics compared to 4 and 5. the ending is also the most bittersweet right up there with the royal exclusive ending!
i played the game on the vita with portable as my first gameplay experience so everything was downgraded for the psp to a more visual-novel style with the daily life aspect, if you played FES id recommend going with the female protagonist to not feel like you're playing a worse version of the game. tartarus is very boring in terms of it being an actual dungeon, barely anything changed as you progress but as i said in the p4 review i can deal with it. gameplay however was pretty good! same experience with p4. the soundtrack is AMAZING! every persona game's soundtrack is phenomenal so this game was no exception! lotus juice and yumi kawamura are such legends!
the social links are mixed for me, some are really good! and some are just eh, tho none of them are actually bad or anything!
overall i highly recommend persona 3 and id recommend experiencing reload before any of the other versions!
