>nothing interesting ever seems to happen.
because p3 is a fountain of excitement for the first 9 months
What made Persona 3 so much better than either 4 or 5?
It's not. It's a chore to play. The only thing P3 really does well is the final month and ending are handled brilliantly. The early and middle part are a collosal drag, Tartarus being the only dungeon makes the gameplay painful. It gets broken up by Full Moon Missions but none of those are actual dungeons they're just a room or two with a boss and the full moon boss are balanced for never having set foot in Tartarus so they're cartoonishly easy while the generic mid bosses in Tartarus are brutally hard. The social links all suck and it frankly feels like they're a pointless feature only existing to create a fake grind.
But the ending really is so good it makes up for a lot.
By having a far better resolution than any of those other games.
Even after 2 games and 2 console generations 4 and 5's endings don't hold a candle to Nyx and Kimi no Kioku.
I like the cast in 3 the most they feel more like real people with there own shit going on the 4 &5 cast are archetypes with one thing about them
Atmosphere
Music
Characters
Story
I will start:
Atmosphere
The creepy and mysterious atmosphere set the tone perfectly for the game, the suicide introduction to the game was. 10/10 move
Music
Baby baby baby baby has never been surpassed and never will.
Characters
The party feels like actual human beings, not fucking retards(p4) or Mary sues(p5), they go through actual developments through the game and you can safely say that most if not all the characters aren't the same person they were when the game started.
For example: yukari stopped being an asshole to you, akihiko grew up, fuuka grew confidence in herself and those around her, shinji was buried, the kid learned he was retarded, etc.
P5 characters have no development at all besides futaba. P4 had some development but it wasn't as compelling as p3.
Story
Mystery story full of twists is more interesting than a straightforward mystery story with no twists, or the looney tunes storyline of p5

MY
DREAAAAAAAAAD
You played it first so it feels more "special" to you. As a whole, P3 is a very mixed bag when it comes to plot, gameplay and presentation. I feel like 4 did itself a favor by stepping back from the grandiosity P3 tried to go for and stumbled with until the end.

What is IT'S DEMOLITION
What is LIVE WITH BURIED MEMORY
Contrarians. Anyone who says P5 doesn't have the best gameplay by a country mile outs themselves as a truly irredeemable contrarian.
100% agree. Except I did finish it on my 11th attempt, the plot is retarded.
The fact it copied Jojo was dumb too.
