Message: [QUOTE="Hourai, post: 189516, member: 34534"] Persona 3. The game aged like a bagel, due to a lot of reasons. Quoth myself: It (well, Persona 3 was, but Portable has the better protagonist) was the first of its kind and was pretty great for it. But in hindsight... Most of the social links are Kotone - the MC - being talked at, rather than to, and she lacks the ability to express a personality hidden underneath her cheery facade outside of Saori's, Shinji's, Aigis', and Akinari's slinks. She feels like a passenger in her life, and suffers more than the usual atlus MCs fighting against being made into a self-insert because she's *also* fighting against the male MC's complete indifference to being alive in the shared slinks. The story is incredibly backloaded, taking place predominantly in the last two months. The combat also aged poorly, because it's a very rudimentary version of the One More system. Even vanilla Persona 4 upgraded it a bit. Tartarus was always horrible, though. [/QUOTE]
