Yeah in direct comparison, P3 is just mementos with a plot that only really starts 1/3 of the way in. Navigation is clunky, the thing I missed the most was actually the map telling you where available social links were hanging out.

From what I've read, P4 seems like it isn't as huge of a jump backwards in terms of features, especially if you play Golden. Heard the slow start and grindy dungeons are still in there though.

I didn't want to go in to 3 too fresh, but I found it pretty interesting seeing all the archetype characters pop up. Ryuji = Junpei. Mitsuru is Makoto, but Haru and somehow also Yusuke. Two other characters show up later who were somehow teleported into a major subplot in FFXIII. Mara is there. Mara can actually be transmogrified into Akihiko's ultimate weapon, and I was disappointed that it didn't just turn his boxing gloves into giant dicks.
