OK, that makes sense. I'm about to go into P4G having put like 100+ hours into Persona 3 FES. I'm assuming P4 has that Final Fantasy 7 effect on people, meaning it was their first Persona therefore the BEST. PERSONA. EVER!
For me, probably just gonna be a Sunday.
There's absolutely no way I can see how someone says P4G isn't better than P3 aside from story. P3FES is absolute trash compared to Persona 4 Golden and YES I played Persona
3 well before I played Persona 4 yet alone Golden so that "First Persona game" narrative isn't true.
I put in like 10 hours into Persona 3 and kind of got stuck somewhere and then tried Persona 4 which I found much more fun. 40 hours into it I copped Golden and never looked back. Playing FES after golden was hard as hell because of all the changes that weren't there that was in Golden. So yeah, I found 4 a much better game. P3P had them but that was stripped of it's actual 3d worldmap and cutscenes.
Persona 3 sucks for damn near until September. The damn game has nothing going on story wise for most of it's months where you just do side stuff for a whole month and fight a anti-climatic boss at the end of each month. The story didn't grab you up until all the near the end when Ryuji shows up. Persona 4 Golden's story was interesting from the onset of the first case and each month. I also felt the characters were way better in Persona 4 than 3.
Chie>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Yukari
Kanji>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Akihiko
Yu>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Blue hairednikka
Yukiko>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>MItsuwhatever the fukk she's called
Yusuke>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Junpei
Only character in 3 that was crazy was my nikka Aegis and that other dude who got merked by them dudes in the alley.
Tartarus is inferior to the dungeons in Persona 4 and the combat system is worse(you can't even control the characters).
. I didn't care for any of the characters in 3 that much but in 4, especially at the end it was a heartbreaking goodbye
