Yep, P3:FES is the first SMT game I played, it was just a impulse buy and it turned out to be one of my favorite games of the last few years. And yea with The Answer in FES it adds about 30 hours to the game, considering you said you aren't overly excited about the Social Links you'll be pleased to know there are none in The Answer. Anyway yea P3:FES got me hooked so P4 was an instant buy, and I'm looking at going back and buying older SMT games.

It'd be hard for me to compare P3 and P4, I just finished P4 a week or so ago, the stories between the two are drastically different and the combat mechanics changed. In short I'd say I liked both stories fairly equally, but the pacing in P3 seemed better as far as the mix of social aspects and combat. The combat system, I'd give a slight edge to P4 however. Both are great games. Enjoy the ending of P3.
