I'm a big fan of Persona 4 (and 5 to a lesser degree) but somehow I've never taken the time to play through Persona 3. Well, that changes now. I am going to beat this game.
I have tried to get into P3 several times over the years, but coming from P4 I found some of the game's unique elements confusing (the fatigue system in particular). If any P3 veterans could help me understand the best way to play this game, I would sincerely appreciate it. I have the following questions:
1. Back in Persona 4, my strategy for dungeon crawling was to go through each floor fighting every Shadow I came across until my party was out of SP. Does the fatigue system in P3 mean I shouldn't do this anymore, or is it not a huge deal?
2. Once I leave Tartarus, should I wait until all of my party members are back to 'Good' status before going in again? Right now Yukari is sick and Junpei is tired.
3. What's the best way to increase charm? I've already decided which social link I am going to focus on maxing and if I recall correctly, that social link requires maxed-out charm to complete.
4. Is there a way to invert the controls on the circular combat menu? I get why it works the way it does, but it's counter-intuitive and I'd rather have it spin right when I press left and vice versa.
NOTE: I'm playing the FES edition on Normal difficulty.
