Get a better game. There are more games than P5 out there.I have other games, I just like P5. I'm fully aware other games exist.
Play Persona 3 FES. It's great. P3P is good and all, but I feel like it lacks emotional punch, and just feels like a book instead of a game. Also it's a good challenge.I'm planning on getting P3 FES for my PS2 in the future, along with P4.

Anything I should try to do before I finish?Working on getting the OP gear isn't a bad idea. Personally, I'd go off and max out the Persona listing first just for the sake of having it, and complete any Memento quests while you have it with you. It's a shame that guns really don't do much in this game unless they have a status on them (plus stats, negate effect, etc).
