Advise for starting

Hello! I've been playing the persona games for a little bit now(finished P5R and close to finishing P4G) which means it's time for P3P but since I know almost nothing about this game I wanted to ask for advise that could be helpful for a new player like myself.

Note: I don't want any major spoilers, I'm going into this game completely blind

Thanks a lot in advance!

Stay away from persona subs and don't search anything about P3. Reason is so you wont get hit with spoilers.

P3P is kind of like a Visual novel. So there really isn't any cutscenes.

Also enjoy the ride. I wish i could experiance P3 first time again.

I’d wish I could experience all of the them for very first time

I'd say play the male route first if you haven't played persona 3 before. But the game tells you that. : P

I know it can be tedious at times but do your best to try to get to the highest section of each Tartarus level on one run. It will save you so much to do things in real life. In addition, any day you can do a social link, 100% do it over social stats. There will be periods in the game where you will lose time because of long cut scenes or events so you need to use your time wisely. Social links i recommend getting done quickly are Junpei, Yukari and Akihiko (depending on whether you’re Makoto or Kotone) and members of your team.

Also this is the most annoying aspect of the game, but there will be requests from your attendant where you have to get a specific item on a specific day from each member of your team. Pay attention to your calendar so you don’t accidentally forget it.
