I recognize that this version of Persona 3 is very hit or miss with a lot of people, while it does add new Social Links and the ability to control your party members alongside a new protagonist option, it also has additions that frustrate some such as the ability to save a certain party member who dies during the plot of the game. With all that said, P3P remains my favorite version of Persona 3, it's one of the most important games I've played personally and I will always recommend people play this version if asked which I recommend.

It may not be "perfect", but it's perfect to me.
