    This game was really good, i don't get why people are having problems with it. The story is very good at least a 8,5 out of 10, the characters are also very human and you can easily relate to a lot of them; all of the side stories are very good (even if 90% of them are depressing as hell). The battles aren't too hard and the only really boring thing is that you have to farm a lotThis game was really good, i don't get why people are having problems with it. The story is very good at least a 8,5 out of 10, the characters are also very human and you can easily relate to a lot of them; all of the side stories are very good (even if 90% of them are depressing as hell). The battles aren't too hard and the only really boring thing is that you have to farm a lot especially, at the end of the game, but except that it has a pretty decent pacing. i finished it in about 50 hours and i really enjoyed the game even if its very old (also the soundtracks are all bangers).

    It's kinda sad that they ported the Portable version of this game on PC, but storyline is still awesome (and it is the most important thing in persona games for me nowadays). I still can recommend this game to everyone who loves good stories in games, but gameplay can seems kinda slow nowadays.

    I wouldn't be lying if I called the PC version of Persona 3 Portable "an upscaled version of the original game". But that doesn't change the fact that Persona 3 Portable is a great game and I would blindly recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it.

    In all Persona 3 Portable is an excellent chance for gamers to add to their JRPG collection, and despite its flaws it has a compelling story, fantastic music (Techno and J-Rock compared to P4’s J-Pop and P5’s Jazz), and characters that feel fleshed out and real. For $20 USD on Steam and many hours of content, the game is a bargain worthy of Tanaka, a series spanning salesman that has always got a deal for you.

    Persona 3 Portable is an unconvincing conversion of a game that could have expressed more in 2009, constrained then by limitations that current platforms do not have. It remains an important chapter for the saga with a unique aesthetic that serves as a bridge to its origins, but it is a shame that the adaptation was made without the will to dare.
