I have no Idea why you post this in the Xeno debate, but it's more because 3 was the first Persona game to get really popular here. Hell, look how often old games like FF VI and Chrono Trigger pop up.

P1 and 2 also hit a time when JRPG's were at their height, and inevitably got lost in the shuffle of a big rush of the genre.

P3, on the other hand, came at a time when the Genre had begun dwindling outside a few titles, and thus stood out a hell of a lot more. Especially considering how wonderful of a game it was.

And I have no idea why, but I read your post now Wolf, and after I read a paragraph I already forget what I had just read. My mind cannot focus on discussion right now.
