The folks here talked me into Persona 3 FES, which is a great game so far. I have another friend who called me fail for not going with the PSP version, but honestly, I think I prefer seeing an original version of the game over the remake first anyway. Plus FES includes a second scenario to it that is a direct sequel to Persona 3, which I think isn't on the PSP version of the game.

The FES extras are NOT on the PSP version. The extra for the PSP is that you can play as a boy or girl protagonist and see how the social links change.

Is it possible to fail the game if you don't make it to the top of Tartarus by the end of the school year?

I can't quite remember, but I think I read somewhere that if you don't make it in time, the game might send you back in time or something to change how you managed your gametime.

But I'm not sure if I just made that up or what ;D

I'd go with P3FES as well, but perhaps that's also because it was the first Persona title I started with.

The first SMT title I played was Digital Devil Saga, which is also very excellent but has a diff mood for sure.

P4 is great, but I still think I love P3 more for the characters and story, and I think it'd be an easier transition into 3 than it would be into 4 for a new SMT gamer.

I had a hard time getting into 1 but was enjoying 2 on the PSP.  It's definitely a different way of playing, but it's interesting to see how it evolved into P3.  I gave in and purchased Eternal Punishment from eBay and was pretty annoyed because they shipped it in crappy packaging and the case got slightly cracked.  Haven't played it yet, but all this talk makes me want to grab the CRT tv from my parents' house and play!
