Finished Persona 3 FES (both The Journey and The Answer).
Overall the story is probably on par if not better than P5 and P4's stories imo.
I still think Tartarus is fucking boring but at least some of the bosses are fun.

Shoutout to my boy @Shaggy4067 for making me finish it

Some context:
I originally started playing the PSP version over a year ago but got bored quickly due to its VN nature (which is a hit or miss for me usually) And I basically gave up on the game for a while.

Afterwards, I decided to play through FES with a controllable party mod

The Journey (aka the base game) was a great story and I could bare Tartarus to experience the rest of the game, can understand why people consider this darker than P4 or P5's stories.

The Answer also has a good story but the dungeon and bosses (except the last ones) are ass

In conclusion:
I'm a fan of Persona 3, will probably play it again at some point, but I probably won't touch The Answer again.

And Yukari is best girl

I'll try to watch the Persona 3 anime films too, heard those were quite good
