Much better than P5R, for sure. What an absolutely heartbreaking game.
I've never played original P3 nor its expansioned versions, so that was my first experience.
I really liked the plot, it's much better than the one from P5R. There's no dumb fillers, the game doesn't feel artificially stretched, and the characters don't annoy you. P3 cast makes you attached to it easily, and every character feels actually well-written and nice.
The gameplay's fire too, but I bet P5R gameplay will never be surpassed, at least untill P6 release for sure.
Tartarus wasn't boring, which actually surprised me, but near to the end I started rushing through it, stopping only to kill some enemies and gain some EXP for my team just because I got tired of it a bit.
The ending made me cry for ~17 minutes straight, and, in my opinion, if the game manages to make me emotional that hard, guess it definitely has something good behind it.
To be honest, this game felt really personal to me, and I still don't know the exact reason for that. My last year was kind of a painful one, though it had many good moments too. I've experienced a serious «loss» for the first time back then, so maybe that's why P3R seemed such close to me... Not to mention that I played this game when I felt kinda empty in my life.
Maybe the correlation with my personal feelings made this game so good in my eyes, or maybe it's actually that great in general — I don't know. The only thing I know for real is that this game brought me so much positive emotions, so much warm feelings and fun, so I don't even know if any other game would ever bring me something similiar to that.
...On the other hand, every game is an unique adventure, right? So why think about it?
I know I may look like a psychofan, but there's nothing I can do with myself. Persona 3 just appeared on the right moment of my life, and I'll remember this game forever because of it.
