@coolboymew Persona 3 is an amazing game. The bosses are more like SMT where assembling the right team of demons is the best way to win as opposed to focusing all of your attention on the strongest demon. Story is also very good, and the cast of characters are underrated IMO.
The cuts to P3P are extreme. I played it originally with the FES edition on emulator and I think that's probably the best way to play it. I thought being able to directly control party members trivialised the combat in P3P
