So, I just beat Persona 3. Portable, specifically, after having abandoned my indifferent playthrough of FES, and...
...Huh.

Shame the female protag is so underrated. The more I played this, the more I realized that she would have been a great pick for the movies. Especially mine, who was a devious lesbian that never got what she wanted from a romantic standpoint but was rather touchy-feely and always had ulterior motives. Ah, she was fun. I could always see the devious look on her face. But even apart from mine, I like her design more then aaaaangst Makoto/Minato (props to the movie, by the way, because they really did a good job making him a likable character).
Tartarus, though...I feel the same about that as I did when I was playing FES. It's no wonder I didn't like the game for the longest time, it prided itself on a not-so-well implemented feature that already generally isn't liked. I had to make it interesting this time around so I wouldn't bore myself to death. It was good deal of what stopped my FES journey, as well as generally not caring about what was going on. That, and I'd say that the Female SL's were definitely better than the Male ones, though I was sad when I found out qt brown girl wasn't an SL in this one.
