Which Version Should I Play?

Currently, you can play Persona 3 FES on the Playstation 2, and Playstation 3 via the PS Store. The game does have an updated version called "Persona 3 Portable", released for the PSP and ported to Steam, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch. Due to the removal of cutscenes and bonus content to fit the PSP UMD, it is highly recommended you skip over P3P, at least for your first playthrough. Checking it out for repeat playthroughs or the sheer convenience of the rerelease onto modern platforms can work, but we cannot stress enough how much you will rob yourself of the full experience by selecting Persona 3 Portable for your first P3 playthrough.

Persona 3 FAQ

• It is possible to max out all social links in your first run without a guide. Prioritize less accessible social links (ones available on fewer days of the week, or not available during the summer) over more accessible ones. Here are some SLs to take note of:
  • High Priority
    • [Lovers, Empress, Priestess] The SEES girls (male protagonist), only a small time frame to do them
    • [Sun] Akinari Kamiki
    • [Moon] Shinjiro (P3P), very little time to rank him up. Must focus on him intensely when available.
  • Low Priority
    • [Hierophant] Bunkichi and Mitsuko, avaliable on many days
• Aim to reach the top of the current Tartarus block before the next full moon. Go as high as you are allowed.
• Do Elizabeth's requests, even if they are difficult. They will pace the game well and they should level you up sufficiently for any upcoming important battles.
