Some aspects of Persona 5 are so drastically better than Persona 3 and 4 that when I first started it, I thought it was a foregone conclusion I would like it better than them. It has so much style and flare, and so many small improvements that add up to a whole lot, but, honestly, it terms of experience, I had more enjoyment playing Persona 3 (took me 75 hours) and, especially 4 (took me 60 hours).
