Persona3rocks

They have added an extra month to the game if you get the true ending, a new dungeon, a new character, and basically a love interest (if you do her s link). There are also 2 new s links. There are also a few new animated cut scenes and events, and there is also a new trip(the ski trip).

No it was not removed from the game the drunk scene takes place in club escapade when they visit tatsumi port island.

I commented on this earlier, but I'd like to add on to my answer. ***SPOILER WARNING***

Characters (cont.)

I much prefer the persona 3 cast to the persona 4 cast. One reason is that the characters in p3 had a lot more development. People could argue that the party members' shadows in p4 made them more developed, but really, the shadows just presented a random personality flaw almost immediately after you meet that character. It is then resolved two seconds later, and that character is done with development for the rest of the game. In p3, however, a personality flaw is introduced in a party member early on in the game, and then gradually resolved over the course of the game. The party members' flaws in p3 would be resolved in a resolution that came late in the came, which I liked a lot better than having a character's main flaw be fixed two seconds after meeting them.

Story

In this category, p3 also wins. I felt that p3's theme of Death was a lot deeper and more meaningful than p4's theme of truth. In p3, the characters had to learn to accept the fact that one day they would die, and they also had to deal with many deaths of close friends throughout the game. In The Answer, this was expressed even more, as all the characters had to learn to accept the MC's death.

Also, p4's story just seemed to be a little dragged on towards the end of the game. The mystery went on forever, and then Izanami was randomly thrown in at the end of the game. I p3, I felt that everything was there for a reason. And the last two months of p4 don't even compare to the last two months of p3. The ending of p3 was the greatest ending I've ever seen in a game, as was the final boss, Nyx. The Nyx fight was extremely epic. I felt that Izanami was put in in p4 in an attempt to make a final boss as awesome as Nyx. But Izanami didn't really have a meaning in the story like Nyx did.

Lastly, the ending cut scenes in p3 were also amazing. I was kinda disappointed in p4's ending cut scenes. Characters even got more development at the ending of the game. In the good ending, Aigis got a lot more development, and Mitsuru got a little bit more development (her speech). In the bad ending, Junpei and Yukari got a little bit more development, and Mitsuru got a lot (again her speech).

As much as I love p4, p3 was just a lot more meaningful and had a much better, bigger picture than p4 did.

Personally, I felt that persona 3 FES was better. First of all, the last month in p3 was ten million times better than the last month in p4. The ending was also much deeper and had a lot more meaning. P3's story was just put together a lot better. The characters were also more realistic. Not their personalities, but their relationships with one another. In p4 , the characters always got along perfectly and never had any real fights (that stuff between yosuke and chie doesn't count, they weren't seriously pissed at one another). In p3 , the characters actually had problems with one another, the first issue being between yukari and mitsuru. They genuinely did not like each other. There was also the hate between ken and shinjiro.

The characters in p3 also had a lot more development ( mainly yukari, aigis, junpei, and mitsuru). Their pasts and feelings were actually focused on and important. The story couldn't have happened without the characters. In p4, the characters really couldn't do shit without the mc.

Overall, persona 3 was much better. But don't get me wrong, I absolutely love p4!!!
