Haven't played FES or Portable so I can't speak for FemC or Episode Aigis but for what this game is, a remake of the original Persona 3, I'm so happy to have played it. The visuals are gorgeous, the voice cast are some of the best in any JRPG and the music's been redone very tastefully both on the sound and vocal front. Special mention to the lighting, which I noticed easily in places like Tartarus and Gekkoukan. I'm especially a fan of the new character portraits, and the QoL changes brought over from Persona 5 (fast travel, night exploration, revamped battle controls etc).

Oh yeah and the ending made me cry badly. That cements this game as a classic.
