i never finished P3:FES D:
i got into it after p4g and couldn't get over losing the quality of life changes in combat... and i ended up rushing through the tower often to the point where now my save is like a couple days away from some big fight but I can barely kill anything anymore cause everyone is so underleveled.

Persona 3 Portable has Persona 4 improvements and some things that were added to Persona 4 Golden. People leave that part out while complaining about the lack of an anime cutscene.

Amazon price matched Walmart's PS3 version for $42.49 so the Amazon Prime price should be $34 if ordered now.

This will probably be cheaply attached to the normal retail box with some plastic wrap if it's like some other Atlus bonuses I've seen recently.

So, a weird question.

Should I buy P5 and get and old out my old PS3 (tho I haven't used it for 2-3 years) or should I borrow my friend's PS4 (he hasn't really used it much and he fine with me borrowing it for 2 or 3 weeks) and get it there?

Is the graphics better/smoother frame rate or no big difference?

Nothing big unless you're looking at them side by side for loading times or NPCs in a crowd.

Plus you won't be pressured to finish. Walmart.com and Amazon price match has it for $42.49 as well.

Most of them have been around for 2-3 years excepting Cassandra Morris, Cherami Leigh, and Matthew Mercer. The problem is none of the people they got have any real character to their voices, Cherami Leigh is miscast to hell and sounds bad as Makoto, and they made Mercer sound like Shatner for some reason.

It says a lot when the most prominent roles that two of the newer VAs have is the Smash 4 announcer and Saitama from One Punch Man. Meanwhile Nier Automata has about as many new people relatively and sounds very good and Berseria has a ton of really good VAs who are spread out between newer and older. Hell, Ryuji's VA voices Shigure in Berseria and sounds really good there.

The P3 MC and his teacher bond over an MMO and become internet girlfriend and boyfriend. In the epilogue that wraps up social links, he drops his cell phone and the background is a picture she sent. She's conflicted and runs off but there's no resolution thanks to the whole dying thing.

This is fine except it's Persona writing so the romance option will be some obtuse thing and the path to love is selecting the Get Bent option back on rank 5.

The only two that might not have been obvious in Persona 4 was Ai and Naoto. Then again I remember someone in the Golden thread selecting "Hug Rise" even with the warnings.

Don't stream anything past 7/7 if you like your accounts.

Also, even in their attempt to say what not to spoil, they end up giving some pretty big clues. Replies to the tweet also spoil the game.

15!? I beat it with everyone at 10, getting to 11 from the boss fight... And it took me an extra day too. I mean I didn't get a cheaty DLC Persona but surely it shouldn't make that much of a difference!

I'm on safety mode. I don't know if that has an EXP modifier or not but I could easily dispatch demons with two regular attacks. The only issue was keeping them healed. It wasn't as concerning without a game over threat.
