Why Persona 3 Is a Horrible Game

In this post I will explain why Persona 3 is one of the worst games I've Played. While I See a lot of people enjoying the game, I've Found it to be extremely irritating and dissapointing. In this post I will focus on the three biggest problems which are: the atroious physical skills, how tedius tartatus is, and the horrible music.

My first problem is Tartarus a tower with 264 floors that you travel over the entire game. And every 15 or so floors you have to stop for 30 days, which completely breaks the pace of the game. What makes the problem worse is the fact That SMT3 released by the same company four years earlier didn't have this problem because you went to places like Shibuya hospital, Ikebukuro, And Kabukicho Prison. You got to go to so many places, all with varied and nice scenery, vs one very large tower

My next problem with the game is with its physical skills. In SMT3 physical skills were versatile and useful since enemies generally didn't block them but didn't have a weakness either so they were good all-rounder skills. Sadly, Persona 3 split the physical skills into three categories and made more enemies resist them. Since the whole appeal of physical skills is gone there is no reason to use them.

Finally, the music was actually horrible. The mindless J-Rock and J-Pop didn't fit the mood and made the game even worse than it already was. And the thing that made it even worse was Lotus Juice's "rap" was atrocious and is a pretty big factor on why I think the soundtrack sucks

In conclusion, Persona 3 was a irritating and dissapointing experience. The games horrible physical balancing, how tedious tartarus was, and atrocious music made it impossible to enjoy the game.
