A beautiful musing on death and life, dressed up to look like a jrpg dating sim from the early 2000s. Like 4 there's some aspects that don't age well, but I think the way 3 handles its themes is second to none. The cast is weak, imo. Music slaps.
3 has the inimitable task of modernising the early personaisms and I think it succeeded, evidenced by the slow rise in fans until p5 absolutely blew the lid open on the franchise.

I replay it less than 4 or 5, mostly due to how heavy I find the themes, and how weak I am at handling the things it wishes to handle.
