There's a manga version for Persona 3? I didn't know that.

still, the game Persona 3 (PS2) + Persona 3 FES (PS2) then the P3P (PSP port) -- currently watching Persona 3 the movie series

I think that's enough

Too many spin offs and ports.. the same for Persona 4

can't wait for Persona 5!!

Honestly, P3 hasn't had nearly as much attention as P4. Also, the manga is very good (though in lots of places in the story at times, due to the strange serialization. One chapter you could be at the beginning of the game, then be near the end), so I do recommend it.

Hasn't had nearly as much? They have nearly the same amount of spinoffs if not the same.

P3 - Main game, P3P, FES, movie series, main manga series, series of plays (3)
P4 - Main game, main manga series, P4 Arena 1, P4 Arena 2, P4 Golden, P4 Dancing All Night, P4 TV anime, P4 Golden anime, P4 compilation film, P4 stage play (1), P4 Arena stage play

And more... There are even more manga series for P4. X( I love P4, but especially when the P3 movies are coming out and all there is is P4 merchandise, it's a bit perplexing. I personally prefer P3, anyway. But that's just me.

Anyway, going back to the manga, but just read the new volume that was released on Friday. Interestingly enough, it has some of the elements of FES, including Chidori spoiler[coming back to life.] But if there's one volume left, there would be no time to do Episode Aegis. Too bad, though I don't really like Aegis anyway.

1. The Arenas and Q are as much of P3 and they are 4.
2. The compilation film is apart of the anime series so that's not seperate.
A better more complete list is
P4: P4, P4G, Mango, P4 Dancing All Night, P4Animation P4G Animation, 2 stage plays, Detective Naoto, The Magician
P3: P3, P3Fes, P3p, Mango, Trinity Souls, movie series, stage plays, a crapton of Drama CDs (probably around 10, but I was too lazy to count)

The movies have no couple (at least, yet). And the manga is actually more focused on the chemistry between Yukari and Minato, honestly.

ah well I've read bits of the manga and the story is all over the place one chapter they're in Yakushima and the next they're doing the field trip event? it's true we have yet to see a pairing for Makoto in the movies but judging from the third movie's trailer they're going the Aiges route
