What made Persona 3 good was the deep characterization. Aside from Metis ending every sentence with 'sister' and everyone in your party hating Metis. There's not much characterization going on at all, even counting Ken's emo flashback.
Then, consider everyone's trapped in the dorm. Basically meaning no one can leave and do plot related things. Junpei can't act like a fool in town or at school. Yukari therefore can't scold him for it. Komaru can't go for walks. Ken's and Akihiko's plots were solved.
The only ones who aren't hindered by this is Fuuka, who's only slightly less annoying then before. And Mits-whatever who just broods.
There's no social links, no academics, charm, or courage.
In fact, the only thing of note is the Desert of Doors dungeons. It takes the best of what made Tartarus (Randomly generated, lots of turns, no doors, ability to split the team up) and some things from TV Land (Sudo-themed dungeons(?) longer hallways).
Fatigue seems to be gone… which I don't consider to be a great thing. I'm starting to run into the same problem from Persona 4 where I'm locked into a particular team.
Honestly, I think the only thing that keeps me going is the return of the ability to split up the party and summon them back to battle mid-battle, and hearing Junpei's humorous nonsense, which right now seems exclusive to his battle and dungeon quotes.

The mutiny is there as a vicious hook makes you wonder "What's going on?! Why are they doing that!" to make you play through it and find out why.
I'd say more but I'd spoil what little secrecy the Answer has. Set it on easy or whatever and power through for the small scraps of story.
Fatigue is removed fittingly because:
a) It's not technically the Dark Hour where fatigue was the problem
b) Time isn't passing really so despite their fears of dying of hunger I'm not even sure it could happen, also means they shouldn't really get tired over time.
c) Straight up gameplay mechanic, as time isn't passing and you can't sleep if you did get fatigued it would be stuck on you since it all happens in one day.
Ken's is one of the more emo flashbacks, I think most of them are rather heartwarming actually.

And yeah, I think the game just wanted to reward me with that ridiculous boss fight for not giving up on Shadow Kanji again (that or it wants me to finish the game as much as I do)
So I'm up to Naoto's dungeon.
uh
Can anyone tell me why I should take Teddie with me ever? Even for being a couple levels behind the others, he sucks hardcore. The only things he really brings to the table from what I can see is Mediarama (which Yukiko learned a while ago) and Mabufula (Chie's Mabufu knocks down ice-weak enemies just as well). I guess if there was a situation where I needed Yosuke, Kanji, healing, and ice, AND for some reason Main Guy couldn't handle anything but fire...
Speaking of, I wish Kanji had better stats but apparently he's doomed to be this game's Junpei (great character, sub-par in battles.)

Considering how physical damage got nerfed hard between 3 and 4 Teddie is more or less a straight upgrade to Chie, he's ok physically has GOOD healing and better ice magic than her. Also screw tier's and stats, use Kanji anyway because he deserves it and MC will probably be able to pull the team solo endgame so it really shouldn't matter in the end.
Though yeah school trip was pretty cool though I didn't get the P3 section at the time. Oh Mr Edogawa with your fourth-wall teasing lectures.

Here's some info on Teddie. Hope this helps in deciding if you want to use him or not.

And hey, don't get me wrong Pierre, I use Kanji plenty, but I can still wish for better stats.
Basically my main team now is Yu, Yukiko, Chie, and whoever else: generally Kanji if I'm climbing the dungeon and need electric, or Yosuke if I'm in the dungeon needing wind, or against bosses; he has a heal and that skill that removes enemy buffs, so that extra bit of versatility usually has me pick him over Kanji in major battles. Yukiko is just too damn amazing to NOT take, especially with the Flame Vow I found in the sauna, and Chie is good all around, with just enough SP for ice skills if needed, the attack buff, and GALACTIC PUNT (another point about Kanji that makes me sadface, I don't think his follow-up attack even knocks enemies down). It's not that I don't like using Kanji (BRING IT ON) so much as it's just hard finding a place for him on my team. It's likely I'll switch Teddie in for Chie more once he gets his group attack buff, but then again I've evolved Chie's Persona already so
SO MANY DECISIONS
Oh speaking of Teddie, his Shadow still gives me nightmares

Er....Kanji's I think I've seen knock THREE people down it's an AoE knock down attack.
Just use Kanji over Yosuke, Yosuke is weak anyway and annoying.

I seriously just ended up using the original four - Protag, Yosuke, Chie, and Yukiko. As mentioned, Yukiko is the best healer, and does some pretty powerful fire spells. Chie is kind of meh with ice, but she can cover the basic enemy weakness and with her tarukaja, she can Gods Hand her way through any boss. Yosuke was a jack of all trades for me. He was the best Wind guy I had (... the only wind guy, I suppose), so he has decent healing, decent physical, decent elemental... he was the perfect right-hand man for me because he could somewhat cover whatever I couldn't. I think I also have a soft spot for the original four. They're the party I used for all the end bosses, so that felt pretty cool.
I neeeever used Kanji. I love the guy, and later on I discovered that he can unlock some pretty powerful attacks, but I nearly always had a Zio-wielding persona (For some bizarre reason, I'm having that happen in P3P right now, though I figure that'll go away once I get the hang of fusing again). Same happened with Naoto; useless against bosses due to her light and dark attacks, and she ate up her sp like a rabid Chie devouring steak. I used Teddie mostly for dungeon crawling due to his Traesto ability that helped me make sure I wouldn't suddenly lose 2 hours of grinding to a light/dark enemy... though it would sometimes happen anyways *sob*.
Not sure why I suddenly started posting about it when I haven't picked up my third playthrough of the game in months (I STILL haven't finished the Fox social link. How was I supposed to know when to go fishing for that stupid "cute" fish? *grumble*)

Boooo Hissss *ahem* Sorry forgive me, personal preferences.
Though Teddy can heal decently (far better than Yosuke) and gets proper ice magic unlike Chie.
If I were to play the game again I think I'd swap out the entire original for the latter. Naoto isn't completely useless against bosses, especially since she does Almighty Damage and she gets some decent physical attacks too. By the point you get her you are into the zone where bosses don't have elemental weaknesses anyway.

More thoughts on the characters battlewise, since I'm up to the final dungeon:
Yosuke - Sorry Pierre, but Yosuke is really good. Solid all-around stats, he gets a weapon that essentially gives him an extra Wind Boost so I can see his magic rivalling Yuki's by the end, he still has the awesome buff-null skill for bosses, and don't underestimate his Agility buff. His heal isn't that great but if you don't need a full party heal, it can be enough to let Yuki or Ted toss an Agidyne or party buff instead.
Chie and Kanji - Yeah, they're closer to being a toss-up now, Kanji got a lot better when he learned his party attack buff. Chie still has the best follow-up attack in the game and more SP, but there isn't much to use it for besides the occasional Mabufu or single-person attack buff. Power Charge I guess, but usually in boss fights she'll more often spend her turn buffing Yukiko or Main Guy.
Yukiko - Still the best party member in the damn game. Next.
Teddie - Okay, Ted's good. He almost IS a straight replacement for Chie, trading physical power (mostly useless at this point) for better skills. I'm almost tempted to use him AND Yukiko together, but it seems like having two characters with elemental weaknesses in the group would be a huge liability at this point in the game...
Naoto - Naoto is adorkable and fantastic for instant-deathing random mobs but really doesn't have a place in boss fights at all. It's not that she's TERRIBLE against bosses, it's just that literally every other character is better. sadface

So you start over at lvl 1 and no social links but you basically have all your dialogue options unlocked this time around if you bothered to improve your Stats and you can take out absurdly powerful persona from your compendium and just breeze through the game.
I used my second time around to go persona hunting, but now that my brother is the one in charge of my third playthrough, he just took out Lucifer and Yoshitsune and he's one-hitting all the bosses for the lulz.
Oh, and this time around, you can fight the Reaper and Margaret (like how you can fight Elizabeth in P3). People say Margaret's easier than Elizabeth, but it took me a few tries to beat Margaret on hard mode and I haven't finished P3P yet soooo...

I didn't manage to beat the boss yet. I ran out of SP midway through the giant technicolor eyeball, then said screw it and went to bed. But… I've got to say, for what I've seen thus far, I'm not particularly impressed with this sequence vs the similar climax in Persona 3. This feels like a last minute shoo-in on a 30 minute anime episode.

Going off a quote here from another forum about this line in the original Japanese.
Quote:
Marie asks what 'bifuteki' means, and you can explain that it's short for 'bifusuteki' (AKA beefsteak). She then says that's dumb because it obscures the fact that it's a steak, and suggests that 'fusuteki' would be a better choice.
Still, even knowing that, the reference is still awesome and I love Atlus and Marie all the more.

and then I come home from my university one weekend to find that my brother bought a vita to play Assassin's Creed Liberation.
PERSONA 4 GOLDEN, HERE I COME.
I'm so excited, I've been seeing people spam tumblr with pictures of all the new stuff you can do.
I was alright with the diverse costumes you can get, but now that I found out that the characters comment on their own costumes and each other's, I'm very excited about it :p
For example, if the main character is in his swim trunks, Kanji is just like, “Hey, why are you just in your swimming trunks... You don’t give a crap. You’re in a dungeon in just your swimming trunks, you just do not give a crap.”
Also I love you Kanji. He has all the best lines.

Also congrats on the chance to play P4G though I really don't think a PSV is worth buying for one game so you lucked out if he lets you play it enough.
Personally I'm still waiting on P4A to come out in Europe but oh localisation issues....from the American version.

Thumbs up to that. I'm planning on playing until I get all the trophies, though it may take a number of playthroughs - which I definitely won't mind completing. :D
To be honest, I never played the original PS2 version past Kanji's fourth-or-so floor, because someone messed with my save data AKA deleted it. However, even with how far I'm into Golden, even if someone erased my data right there, I still wouldn't hesitate to go back to it soon afterward. That's how much I'm into this game.

Good I'm glad they put enough effort into that product to turn it out really well. Helps that the source material is excellent but I hear the additions are good too.
Shame I don't have a Vita.

But best of all, Persona 5 announced for PS3 next winter in Japan.
Anyone excited?

A quick run through of my personal thoughts on the Persona games I've played up to now.
Persona 3 - Boring.
Persona 4 - Interesting, but with stupid plot twists that are kinda obvious.
Persona 2 - ...haven't gotten very far, but I like the fact that there is an Undub PSP version running around and Takehito Koyasu voices the main character. But it looks fun, although it is heavily different from P3 and P4.
You want Native English in Office?
The Dancing All Night things looks somewhat silly... and why the hell are they displaying Teddie, he's so annoying!

Persona 1 sucks.
Persona 2 (both games) supposedly has an amazing story but I wasn't willing to deal with the insane random encounter rate to find out.
3 and 4 are both fantastic.

My thoughts?
P3:FES was meh. Then again, coming from Persona 4, that's to be expected. I think it's more fun if you're all for the level grinding and the dungeon crawling. Aside from a couple of characters, no one was really interesting to me and the story was very subpar. Never felt like much was going on and all I was doing was waiting.
Persona 4 was way better than 3. Your core group is MUCH more interesting, the Social Linking is much better in terms of characters, and the story is much more interesting. Even though the story has the same waiting problem Persona 3 suffered, there's much more to do. Golden I feel improved this even more. I really find this game fun and it's one I keep coming back to. If you can suffer from the really long intro, though a decent story, then you'll find a fun game. If you can afford Golden, I'd recommend that over the PS2 Persona 4 as there's much MUCH more going on. The story is not the most amazing thing in the world, but I feel the characters more than make up for it. Besides, murder mysteries are always fun.

Is the murder as good as the Ace Attorney murders?

I must say I kinda enjoyed both Persona 3 and Persona 4. Call me a weirdo, but I prefered the theme of 3 than 4, even if in 4 I felt more connected to the character (Naoto in particuliar). I think I just love the game talking about life and death, the purpose of life and etc. even if it is not so deep, I always appreciate the effort to go a bit beyond the usual, goody goody stuff where friend are the only thing that are worth living and the gotta protect my friend thingy. The grinding doesn't really bother me since the first tier of a game is always boring and you always find out that you are wrong and blah blah blah, and japanese tend to prefer the grinding so I was a bit expecting it. Also I prefer this MC since he look more hum... how to say more sarcastic? A I so don't care attitude. It's subjective I know but still, I'll wait for the movie to see if I still like him. (Even if in my Head he will stay a Shirogane).
Persona 4 is great. I wonder if the fact that they had localization in mind from the beginning influence the rythm of the game. The story was okay for me, though the Pursuing my true self theme was nice. The character are awsome, since their social links help us to know them better. Also connecting to the character and stuff....
In general I love thesse game and I'll try my hand at the 1 and the 2 2's.

No, these are actually tougher to figure out!
If you want to get into Persona, I would say play 4 - whether Golden or PS2, up to you. Personally, I find Golden made things too easy, even if I haven't played it yet. Persona 4 had neat characters, good themes, awesome music and a neat battle system. It improved a lot of the previous Persona games.
I would say play Persona 2 Innocent Sin, but I have just scratched the surface of the intro and met Maya and now I have no clue where to go. I'm playing it blind and the battles are really slow in my opinion, the encounter rate is kind of annoyingly frequent. Also the talking to demons... I dunno.

As you can tell from my current avatar, I'm a WEE bit of a fan
I haven't played 1 or 2 (though I plan to SOME DAY get through the latter), liked 3 quite a bit and LOVE 4 to pieces. Why do I like the latter 2? 3 is great because the characters are interesting, the story is good, the music is AMAZING (Mass Destruction, Burn My Dread (+Last Battle version) and Joy, to name a few amazing tracks) and the battle system is intriguing. 4 just took everything that made 3 good, but much BETTER: I felt even MORE connected to the characters because of the fact social links had more depth and you could do it with everyone in your part (I also liked the fact you could friend-zone all the girls; even if it's only a game, I didn't like being forced to be a player in 3 if I wanted to advance all my social links); the story was a lot more focused, which I appreciated (though there were some things that bugged me: 'If we told the police about the world in the TV there's no way they'd believe us!'? Just stick your hand inside a TV and SHOW them ; how would they not believe you then?); the music was even better (Persuing my True Self, Reach Out to the Truth, Like a Dream Come True, Snowflakes, etc) and the battle system felt more streamlined, particularly in Golden. So... yeah, I've had good experiences with the series; it has my highest recommendation to whoever may be interested in it.

I feel slightly selfish and ungrateful for having so many games, Persona as well as others, and STILL wanting more... but ah, heck with it. These look too awesome to resist
5 is self explanatory; there's no WAY I could miss that. Q looks intriguing; Etrian Odyssey battle system, Persona 3 + 4 characters, more great music? It already sounds like a BLAST to play. The Ultimax not only continues from the cliffhanger from Arena but improves on the already awesome fighting system, so that can't be ignored. Even Dancing All Night sound like it could be fun: it's odd, to be sure, but the series has excellent music, and Atlus hasn't disappointed us yet, have they? So yeah, super excited for next year
