Persona 4 is a great game, but it’s also a long-term commitment unless you have four or five days with absolutely nothing else to do, like I had.
Hei December 2, 2009 at 12:17 pm: Honestly, I recently finished replaying P3 FES and P4 from scratch and I’ve got a few things to say about both games. But, let’s split the topics so it wouldn’t be a clusterfuck:

Story: Persona 3 FES wins thins if only due to the fact that you feel like you’re actually accomplishing things. P4, for me, felt a bit like watching a Scooby Doo episode – except a tad more interesting.
Personas: Persona 3 FES wins again, but only because it features Thanatos. Most badass mofo ever.
Music: P4 lacks Lotus Juice, and thus, loses. Not to say that it was BAD, but come on – it’s motherfucking Lotus Juice.
Characters: Debatable, but here’s how I would compare the PARTY members:
Junpei > Yosuke
Yukari Yuki
Akihiko < Kanji
Aegis + Ken + Koromaru = Naoto + Teddie
P4 and P3 FES both have somewhat enjoyable Social Links, but I think they're tied here.

Replayability:
Oh, FES wins this one, if you for how much easier it makes New Game+. I mean, it gives you all your money, your MC level, max stats, and every equipment you had as well all fully stocked stores. Good shit.
Gameplay: P4 wins automatically. However, with P3P out in Japan, this might change soon.

Actually, after looking at my "review", I started to wonder why people like P4 more.
Patrick December 2, 2009 at 12:47 pm: I see you have Persona 4, Spoony. God, I love that game. It’s my favorite!
Patrick December 2, 2009 at 12:54 pm: Oh and episode 71 is generally accepted as the best Endurance Run episode. I beat P4 before that even started. (I beat it six days before the first episode aired.

@mikaoj: SPOILER ALERT! I’ve already read both parts of that so far, but each has a major spoiler.
Jet Jaguar December 19, 2009 at 9:34 am: Cool your giving Persona 4 a go! I really think it removes many of the problems there were in P3. Although it takes an annoying amount of time to get going.
