Being confined to the ps2 and having a permanent blur on all moving 3D objects probably makes this the least practical version of RPG Maker. But it also taught me about game design in an era where engines and educational youtube channels were nonexistent. RPG Maker II will forever have a place in my heart.

I played this all the time at summer camp as a kid. Someone in my group told me that Santa Claus shows up in the sky and you have to click on him to get a reward, and I still don't know if that's true.

We are forever cursed to wonder what a definitive version of Persona 3 would look like. To echo the sentiment of everyone: the decision to not include the female protagonist from P3P or other additional content from P3 FES was bizarre, and it's a decision that haunts an otherwise incredible remake.

I finished Persona 3 FES on PS2 a few years ago, and warts and all, I found it to be a really profound experience. I'm really happy more people will get to experience this narrative, and I hope they find it to be even half as cathartic as I did.

It's a game centered around death that makes the case our lives are beautiful because they end, and that the day-to-day moments where we find small joys and connections amount to something in total we have no words for.

If you enjoyed P4G or P5R, definitely give this one a chance. And while you're at it, maybe play FES and P3P too. Perhaps it's fitting we now have three versions of 3.
