So, I'm apparently 17 hours into P3. I don't think I've ever been so deep into a JRPG (that wasn't pokemon) before. Playing all that P3 has gotten me thinking...about this:

  • Anime hair is kinda realistic.
  • Fuuku has a really long neck.
  • Why is it that my character never gets any good one liners?
  • Why is it that everyone whines to me?
  • Surprisingly few gay people.
  • Tower can get kinda repetitive.
  • When will Yukari love me?
  • Mitsuru really need to be thrown onto a desert island for a week.
  • Junpei is playing on a portable gaming system sometimes. I wonder what it is.
  • No non-human playable character makes me sad.
  • Story is much less involved than P4.
  • I'd probably like P4 a lot more than I like P3.
  • Lack of cowbell
  • Music is friggin' repetitive.
  • Why the crap did I join the Music Team?
  • Is it really 80 hours?
  • Does the FES part of Persona 3 suck as much as I've heard it does?
  • Will I actually be able to beat it?
  • Demons need to look more demon-y and less like anime girls with weird skin.
  • Will my endurance as a person raise if I beat this game?
  • Will I have to beat the FES portion of P3 in order to "beat the game"?
  • Graphically it's pretty good.
  • Nice art style.
  • Technically it's around Kingdom Hearts level.
  • Needs a main theme.
  • Seriously: the Music Team leader is a friggin' dork. I want to resign.

I'm 35 hours into P3F and I can say that you do get a non-human character in your party. There are some people who seem kind of gay (like that Mitsuru fan girl),Haven't played P4, but from the GB endurance run it seems P3's story is better. I didn't join the music team so I can't say anything about that. You know you can change the music in Tartarus? Won't change the battle music or any other music in the game though.

Dungeon crawling is repetetive, but that's true for pretty much any RPG IMHO. However I like P3 because you never get lost, the objective is always to climb the tower and defeat enemies so it's sort of relaxing in the same way hacking and slashing your way through Diablo or Titan Quest is. It just uses some parts of the brain while others can relax, sort of like meditation or something ^^

FES arrived in my mailbox yesterday.  I'll start as soon as I'm done with DQ5.  I'm eager to delve into it, but if I do, I won't return to DQ5 for a long time, and I'd prefer to finish one RPG before starting another.
