Compared to other Persona games, this one has very little actually happen in it, and yet still it's leagues above any of the others games, even the long-awaited Persona 5, and weirdly enough any of the other Katsura Hashino-helmed games that followed.

Most importantly, it has one of the two characters I first saw as a kid in 2014, who made me decide I would become a Robot In Real Life.

Where do you stand on the PSP/PS2 divide on this game? I'm interested in playing it one day, would you recommend Portable? I've heard it has the much more palatable battle system.
Portable or FES is good, I'd say. FES visually looks better (of course) but many prefer Portable for the little QoL touches. Personally, I'm not so into Portable because of it's insistence on playing the FeMC route, which is a pretty cool addition, but it's a very different game from the male protag route and there's some small changes that I think legit make the game worse (which is sad cuz I love the visuals of it a lot).
