I played the first few hours of Persona 3 round my step brother's. I really liked it and I can't wait for P4G to release.

A quick question for Persona fans. Which game should I play first? I don't know whether to play Persona 3 Portable soon and get Person 4 Golden when it releases or just play Persona 4 Golden first. Which would give me the best first time experience?


I wouldn't suggest persona 3 portable. 

It takes out some things and turns you into a cursor, takes out some voice acting, and adds other things. More Social Links, improved battle system, play as girl.
However imo, that game is as a compliment to already playing the original.

imo Persona 3: FES, has better characters, and story. However, there are some issues with battle system that Persona 4 fixes, persona 4 also gives you a bit more things to do to break the tedium.

From a gameplay standpoint, Persona 4 wins. From a story/character standpoint it depends on who you ask, I prefer Persona 3's characters and story, and that's why I prefer that game.
