Um RPG com potencial para ter mais de 80 horas de duração era uma coisa que me assustava bastante. É muito empenho e tempo dedicado em apenas 01 jogo, mas ainda assim eu sinto que valeu a pena. Persona 3, no que o define como um RPG em turnos, funciona de uma forma excepcional, sendo divertido lutar e criar estratégias com a troca de personas e planejamento com as possíveis party de aliados. A parte de ação do game não me frustrou por 80% do jogo, e esses 20% se justificam por erros que eu cometi por não saber de algumas mecânicas do game que desbloqueiam personas novos para fusão e pelo fato de que eu resolvi fazer minha primeira jogatina no difícil, o que foi um erro enorme. Esse jogo é mais difícil do que parece. Ele vai exigir de você farm para conseguir fazer personas de níveis maiores e o farm, obviamente, fica mais difícil e demorado no modo difícil. Acabou que no final jogo eu recorri à alguns cheats para corrigir alguns erros que eu cometi e não poderia resolver no
endgame, o que envolve principalmente eu não ter dado importância para as malditas quests da Elizabeth (pelo amor de Deus, fiquem atentos com as quests da Elizabeth). Mas enfim, ter que ter recorrido a cheats para diminuir minha frustração com o game não me faz sentir nem um pouco bem =/, então acho que vou acabar rejogando esse jogo eventualmente para fazer as coisas de forma correta no modo difícil e poder ficar 100% contente com a finalização desse ótimo game. A parte que envolve rotina desse game, com interações e relações que se desenvolvem ao longo dos dias é ótima e ainda é acompanhada com uma trilha sonora muito boa. Os personagens começam a ser muito importantes pra você sabe, ver como as coisas se desenrolam e as histórias de cada um, ainda mais com o tempo que você passa com eles (no meu caso, eu passei uns 2 meses jogando), a pessoa sente que faz parte daquela história sabe? E o final do game ainda aumenta mais a carga emocional disso tudo, mas eu não vou me prolongar para não dar spoilers. Mas sério, é uma jornada emocionante e ela merece seu tempo. Meu primeiro contato com essa franquia foi por meio desse jogo e eu sinto que fui muito bem apresentado.

Persona 3 is really endearing with it's characters. It's the first JRPG I've ever played and it's certainly a little rough from that perspective. I think the biggest thing currently holding me back from continuing the playthrough is that Persona 3's opening takes a rough moment to start and time-investment from what I understand about intention of the developers (more or less the whole point of Persona 3) is more or less supposed to be "wasteful". Maybe it's just the fact that Persona 3 is an incredibly long game (like all the Persona games are) but I've not had this stop me before with even visual novels.
There's some really frustrating mechanics going on that I feel I'm almost suffering through for the "initiation" of the rest of the game. Stuff like the status changes and the academic systems and balancing school life? I really do understand what the game is going for but god is this game incredibly frustrating and feels like I'm making constant mistakes at every corner. I know, that's the point, but it really is like a lump in the throat I just want to swallow down so I can learn more about the characters and the overall plot.

This is my favourite game of all time. Almost everything about it is perfect. The atmosphere is dark and tense, the gameplay is at times brutal. The AI teammates are oft complained about, however once you learn the tactics system it becomes a really fun part of the game. On top of all this, the game has a beautiful story that is one of the few to genuinely make me cry.
unfortunately mogs all other personas by having the evoker method being the most kinomatic shit of all time
I can only really compare it to 4 at this point but it's so much more focused and handles its theming much better. some social links are pretty cringekino but another one made me cry . you win some you lose some
ultimately it's just a cool ass game - i wish tartaros was about 70% shorter but nevermind that, ill forgive you.
i then found out that "the answer" that everyone is talking about is approximately 70% more tartaros - i think this was a stupid decision made by an idiot. in fact it might have been the stupidest decision made in japan for all of the early 2000s. i put in about 2 hours before i decided its best played through on a youtube playlist. if i had decided to play it my rating likely would have dropped by at least a full star . thats okay . just dont play it unless youre really really dumb

Genuinely incredible game, while it's not perfect I can excuse pretty much every flaw by virtue of this game being made during a period of financial instability for Atlus and this being a pretty experimental title looking back on it. Plus the stuff it does well, it does extremely well and very importantly this game sticks the landing, no spoilers but Persona 3 has an incredible ending that sticks with you long after the game is over.
