Sorted and skimmed the Persona 3 page because Jesus. Also, it's got a bunch of the 'deep tactical advice' tips that I'm not at all fond of.

Version Differences

-P3 FES is on the PS2, has 3D environments, and a grindy-y second campaign called The Answer.

-P3P is on the PSP, and has a female main character option and several balance changes, including being able to directly control your party.

-Play P3P if you can, but FES is still worth playing.

Combat

- Beginner is easy, Easy is normal, Normal is hard, Hard is for series veterans, Maniacs is for obsessives.

- Don't grind your old Personas up, fuse new ones.

- You're the only one who can change Personas, so keep yourself versatile.

- The equipment tax is high, so don't bother trying to keep everyone completely even.

- Akihiko, Yukari, and Junpei each have at least one required boss fight.

- Do Elizabeth/Theodore's requests, they're a good test on how you're doing, power-wise.

Social/Story

- Don't bother trying to do everything, don't use a guide, don't spoil yourself.

- Focus on non-party links during school, there's a lengthy vacation in the middle of the game.

- If you make plans, don't cancel them.

- Don't neglect any of your contacts.

- Carry a matching Persona when you do a social link. It doesn't have to be equipped, just one of your options.

Male MC

- If you're dating multiple girls, be very careful, as they can catch you on dates with each other.

- Don't hug her.

Female MC

- Exception on the 'no guide' tip, it's really easily to accidentally lock yourself out of Akihiko's romantic path.

- You have very little time with the Moon and Wheel of Fortune S-Links. Either drop everything for them, or accept you won't max them out.
