[quote name='xsouthparkx']Well p1p is a terrible, terrible game. I'll even go so far to say that I am hating it lol.
Does it get any better?
p3p is great though[/QUOTE]
I played through 80% of Persona 1 on the PSP, finally gave it up b/c it drove me nuts with the random battles. I've played through the old Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior games and never minded the battles, but P1P drove me so crazy that I finally put the game down. I'm honestly not sure I'll ever go back and finish it. That said, I did enjoy the story and would like to see how it ends, but I'm not sure the additional grinding I need to beat the game is worth it.
If P3P is considerably better/different (or even a slightly toned-down frequency of battles), I'm sure I'd enjoy it. I hadn't played any of the Persona games before this - P1P was my first.
