What you can make with the metal from there is up to you, crafting 3 refined metals together prodcues a hat for a random class for example. This explains it all much better: http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Crafting"
Although... I know some people who appreciated the challenge of P3 and FES and found ways to make the game easier for themselves (albeit more time consuming) by spending half of the time in dungeons by themselves, without party members. Yes it's unfortunate that the AI rarely makes the decisions you would want to and they can end up hurting you more than helping, but if you really like the game, there's nothing wrong with accepting the game's flaws for what they are and chooing to work with them instead of against them.
Also the addition of Skill Cards to P3P (the ability to force Personas to learn specific skills at any time you want) completely undermines the challenge of fusion. I feel like I should be grateful for getting a Persona to have the exact skills I want being an easier process, but there was something to be said about the sense of accomplishment from spending nearly an hour in the Velvet Room getting your Persona just right, the hard way."
And Mario's got other arch-villains like Count Bleck (Super Paper Mario), the Smithys (Mario RPG) and Fawful (Mario & Luigi series), so there's plenty of opportunity to give Bowser a break from his usual duties."
Not that I'm into that or anything."

For the longest time, I heard people say similar things about the Final Fantasy VII cast, and having not played it, I never understood where they were coming from. I just missed that era of gaming. But I get it now. Persona 4 is my FFVII. I look at that picture - Chie, Kanji, Rise - and a wealth of emotions instantly start flooding back to me.
In other words, Patricia: thanks for saying everything that I wanted to but never had the guts to."
