Man P3 was dope brehs. That story and dark ass grim atmosphere Every character in P3 was dope on their own right and they were way better to me than in P4. And the social links were waayyyy>>> P4's. P4 is dope, but once P3 was ported to PSP and got P4's battle system and the female protag storyline, it just became so much better.

Now don't get me wrong, the OG P3/FES had a shytty tactic system but like I said, the PSP remake gave it the P4 battle gameplay and the female MC story had some great social links for the whole squad.
I've sunk near 300 combined in both over the year, but I find myself gravitating more towards P3. Both are excellent games though.
oh I do love the atmosphere.
I wish Atlus would do a Persona 3: Velvet for the Vita. Add the Female playthrough AND the Answer part for FES. but to the Golden standard.
