A tedious rule of ?game over? if the protagonist is KO?d is still in effect.
The playable female protagonist of Persona 3 Portable and the 'Answers' campaign of Persona 3 FES is missing.

A mature and worthy scenario befitting the Persona franchise.
Real characters with whom we can easily identify
A simplified Persona fusion system compared to Persona 5.
The addition of special moves in combat.
A significant and fitting lifespan in line with the license.
The affinities to develop and the life simulator aspect that still works just as well.
Graphically correct even if the graphics engine is starting to show its age.
Some nice music?

The revamped combat is more feature-rich and fast-paced than ever
New optional scenes give ignored side characters much-needed focus
Visual overhauls make cutscenes and even menu navigation a treat

Lack of content added in subsequent Persona 3 ports (such as the female protagonist) is disappointing
Despite attempts to revamp it, Tartarus remains a dull and samey dungeon to have to constantly return to

A remake that includes what needs to be improved and what needs to stay.
The graphic section has been renewed and it is better than ever, while still respecting its essence.
It is an experience that meets modern standards.
The game is more friendly, but it still maintains its challenge and dark atmosphere.
More opportunities to meet their amazing cast of characters.
A JRPG that has defined the genre can now be enjoyed by more people.

Fantastic music bundled with ATLUS' best visuals and animation work.
School life, monster collecting, and role-playing genres blend well.
Story is dark and highlights the best of people even at the worst of times.
New content fits in right, reworks to mechanics make the game more accessible.
Plenty of quality of life features.

Tartarus isn't quite as dangerous as it used to be and can still get a bit repetitive.

Superb UI and visual design
Fast paced and energetic turn-based battles that incorperate improvements from the sequels
Comitting to choices for unique gameplay experiences between daily life and going to Tartarus
Detailed and highly expressive character models
Poppy and stylish soundtrack

Questionable casting and localization choices
The brighter and less gloomy ambiance is a step backwards and thematically wrong
Cut story content sold as DLC is unforgivable for a $70 release
The shadows are boring and uninteresting enemies
Just like the original's, Tartarus' floors are all samey nondescript halls

Game loop that can become repetitive due to the long duration of the game.
It does not have an automatic backup system, so if one does not pay attention to saving, a significant portion of progress can be lost.
