Hey everyone, I finished up Persona 3 a while ago and am thinking of going back at some point, but havent decided if i should do a new game or new game +. From what I understand the new game + makes the combat much easier because you keep your level and compendium, and also your courage and those stats. This makes the social linking stuff easier to get as well. My concern is that the new game + will take away alot of the challenge and excitement from the game that I really enjoyed my first play through.
 
So, is it worth the perks you get in new game + or is it better to just start a new game if I want to really relive my good experience with this game?

I would think it's worth it just because it opens up more content for you to enjoy, like your courage being higher and such so your eligible to do some of the social links that require such a thing.

That's true, but I ended up maxing the 3 stats before summer break and was able to get through the related social links so I'm not sure if it would give me much more to see. I did flat out miss several S. links because I wasnt using a guide and just missed them. I probably won't start a new game for awhile but I just want to see what feed back i can get since no matter which choice i go with ill be putting alot of time into the game.

On new game+ you keep your level but everyone else doesn't. Combat will be easier but you still need to worry about everyone else doing stupid stuff.
