The only disappointment for me was the lack of cutscenes at certain moments. The Awakening wasn't as bad since it was still represented with visuals and music but other parts had music for those scenes removed since they don't sync anymore, which really does kill the impact of certain scenes. The visual novel style could have worked better since games like Wild Arms XF and Blazblue make great use of it but P3P wasn't bad at all.

Just finished my Mshe playthrough last night (complete with Shinjiro ending <3). Overall, really loved the experience more with Mshe than I did MC. Mshe's just way more awesome in terms of dialogue and even many of her altered s.links are better for the most part (like, I actually LIKE Yukari, and I could actually stand Fuuka's s.link for once). The only S.link that was a bit 'um...' was Aigis's at parts but that's because the s.link is pretty much a copy-paste of MC's.
Same here. xD It's already a given that I can relate more to MShe because she's female, but I'm also more comfortable dealing with happier dialogue options compared to MC's more aloof ones. MC's still great, though. Oh, and I thought the two new Social Links were brilliantly written. <3

Which scenes are you talking about? Everything seems pretty much the same to me, except the fact that the Command Room recordings now have background music--that one I noticed. Then again, I'm currently at October so... yeah. Haven't seen everything yet.

It's mainly scenes like The Moonlight Bridge scene with Aigis+Ryoji and the scene that was on graduation day. The total lack of music in those scenes just sucked the energy right out of them, even if the scene wasn't shown in anime cutscenes. They could have at least looped the music somehow or made new music that doesn't have to be synced :/.

Lol, I originally planned on just doing Shinjiro and Ryoji's romantic s.link paths for 'internal story' sake but I accidentally picked all Akihiko's romance flags and Theo's just amusing soooo...
Am I the only one disappointed you couldn't get a lovers path with Hidetoshi? At least Bebe (not that I wanted to have a path with him) has the excuse of going to another country....

Theo's so hot but he's such a dork... it's so funny.
I freaking love Junpei's social link. I'm almost disappointed they can't get romantic because of the plot with Chidori and everything...
Oh, and Battle Panties > High-cut Armor lol

I'm not a big fan of Hidetoshi but I've been seeing complaining on different boards about that. Maybe he's just not the relationships kind of guy? I dunno. o3o You could always say he likes MShe but was too shy/proud/etc. to confess out or something. I haven't maxed that particular Social Link so I can't really give a first-hand opinion.
@fatalfeline- I didn't get that impression, but I'm at like... rank 4. Does the dialogue change at all compared to MC? And yeah, I was disappointed you get no lovers path for Junpei as well. He's a real sweetheart. <3 But at the very least

Well you can admit that to Rio and Yuko while at the sports trip during the summer (in Inaba! <3)
Edit: So you can become lovers with Ken. I don't know but something seems just... wrong with that. :| Especially since you can also be with Shinji. AND Akihiko. Kinda awkward.

Hahaha yeah, that does feel kind of wrong. xD But I read somewhere that a funny conversation between Ken and Akihiko in Tartarus will trigger if you happen to romance them together so I'll probably go for it. ILU SHINJI I PROMISE I WONT TOUCH (hurr) ANYONE ELSE NEXT TIME. ;3; <3

I don't like Yukari much, but I think that would change playing her through the female MC. With Minato it's like I DON'T NEED YOU SAVING ME FROM GANG RAPE I CAN HANDLE MYSELF JUST FINE WITHOUT YOUR MANLY HELP

*reverse link*Yukari's soooo much more likeable as Mshe. Really enjoyed her link from the 'best friend' angle. Hell, Mshe makes Fuuka and Mitsuru's s.links better too...

I wouldn't say incompetent. I think the better word would be... charming? xD I hated Ekoda's guts, though. He's like... the Morooka of P3. Except a lot easier on the eyes.
Finally finished my first run last night. *sniff* ;3;
Spoiler: Final battle spoilers, maybe?
I think they did a stellar job with the ending; better than how the PS2 version presented it, in my opinion. I could better understand everything that went on. But I agree with Robin that they could've done with music during the Ryoji+Aigis scene, even if it were just some subtle static in the background.
Anyhoo, I'm off to get started on The Answer (urrrgggh more grinding) so I can finally get on with my Shinji playthrough. <3

The closest you can get to a same-sex relationship would be the Aeon social link. And a certain female assistant, or so I heard; haven't tried that one out myself.
I think I'm going to give up on The Answer for now. There's so much grinding going on it's not even funny. =u=; I'm contemplating just watching the entire thing on YouTube. Oh, well... Guess it's time to get started on my Shinji run~ <3

Yeah, Aigis's is very...interesting. VERY interesting.
As for Liz's as Mshe, there's a few lines but then it gets waved away as 'friendship'.
Someone told me if you choose to stay loyal to Shinji, Christmas gets depressing...

No anime and you get to move around like in AA. You're on this board meaning you must have played and liked AA so what wrong with the visual novel style of moving? I hardly move much around the school anyway. I mostly go straight to the dood who "warps" you. Though I hate talking to him before exam week ><.

And while I admit missing the cutscenes, they're mostly just at the very beginning (and I assume the end) of the game anyway. The only one I felt was a huge loss was Orpheus' awakening.
Really the major reasons you'd get P3P over FES are to have Persona on the go and to play the female main. Otherwise, yeah, I'd go with FES.

Female main, cutscenes, AND The Answer!
Or if you don't want to play two full games just watch the cutscenes on Youtube.

Portability, improved battle system, and the ability to set your PSP on sleep mode anywhere (including Tartarus--you're going to wish you had this option in the console, trust me) are pretty darn good trade-offs, though. Not to mention more alternate costumes, Vision Quest, new social links via the female route...
I assume you're only interested in the male route, which doesn't change much compared to FES, so getting that one instead was a practical move. And FES has The Answer, which is cool. I guess it's just a matter of whether you want to take the game along with you anywhere you go or not? I enjoy the game both ways, as a male and female protagonist, plus everything I listed above, so I thought P3P was well worth the money. <3

Also Yukari and Junpei are still using their Toy Bow and Spiked Bat for similar reasons. Not that I'm using Junpei much; I'm TRYING, but it's hard to justify when Koromaru outclasses him with fire and Shinjiro outclasses him in pure physical power (and doesn't carry a weakness).

In any case, it didn't feel quite as good at first, but I've really been getting into it, especially with all the improvements they've made for the female's story. (MALE SEES S.LINKS, YES. Oh, and gameplay too. Yeah. That.)
It's still a bit hard to judge; since sometimes I feel like the visual novel presentation doesn't hinder the story at all, and then some scenes I really liked better in FES.
I feel like the "perfect" P3 is somewhere in between FES and P3P, y'know? XD Like, FES's presentation maybe, with P3P's improved gameplay and female storyline. P3P's portability is awesome too! I love being able to take it anywhere with me.

Err, are you talking about the Beam Naginata? I'm only up to the end of July and I've already replaced it! As well as the Toy Bow and Junpei's Spiked Bat. Are you sure Officer Kurosawa doesn't have better weapons already?
Or do you mean you simply like these weapons' secondary effects better (the +Panic, etc)?

And yes new S-Links are super. I always thought it was kind of weird in the original P3 how you couldn't buddy up with the other SEES guys, and I'd much rather listen to Junpei being a goof than Kenji talking about how badly he wants to tap his teacher.
