I'd tried in the past to play through P3 but the PS2 was just a little too jank for me. This version really brought the game into <current year> and made it more enjoyable. But man do you still feel the PS2 jank. The singular dungeon felt like a slog. It was my least favorite part of the game and wasn't nearly as cool or interesting as anything in P4 or P5. Most of the social links in this game were also just booty. But when this story hits it hits different. That ending was gloriously sad.
