A game that everyone should try. It's a traditional RPG with some social simulation elements thrown in for good measure. Anybody here ever play it?

I put in over 120 hours into P4 last year. My wife just finished it a couple weeks ago and she's now playing it through again. It's an awesome game, but I still enjoyed Persona 3 more. A couple days ago, I picked up P3 (PSP). I'm playing it now. It's been a few years since I last played P3 and the PSP version is just as good as the PS2 versions.

I've only played P3.

Trust me, you want Persona 4. I've been considering buying Persona 3 FES. Should I?

Persona 4 has everything that you'd want in a great RPG. I loved how the story didn't involve kids saving the world. They hero's are wonderfully entertaining.

It would actually be faster and easier to make a list of reasons why NOT to get it! Good luck filling up a Sticky-Note.

FES adds some stuff to the main quest (which I haven't tried yet, I'll get to it in P3P) but it also has The Answer, which is a separate post-story dungeon crawl using Aegis as the main character and you start off at level 25ish (iirc). I felt The Answer was worth the purchase alone.

I couldn't stand Persona 3, so it put me off on trying Persona 4. But I've heard they're not that alike. I'm going to have to get P4 one of these days...

What didn't you like about Persona 3? Persona 4 makes several improvements over Persona 3's gameplay in my opinion, but if you don't like P3 on a fundamental level you won't like P4.

HAHA, watch me blow your mind as i say this: i don't like persona that much...and i love rpg's. While it's a good series of games (i find enjoyment out of them once in awhile) , i would rather play the other SMT games that are so much more darker in story and more entertaining for me. the first 2 SMT games are by far the best, and 3 (called nocturne) was good too. and don't forget Digital Devil Saga and devil summoner. i played persona for a while and came into terms that i was more frustrated, and just not as enthralled as i can be with the other games. i feel the persona series is way too blown out of proportion by the American public and it takes a way from the love of the rest of the SMT games.
