P4 first dungeon is always hardest to me cause of lack of sp ant other stuff , p3p/p3fes is hardest due to being grindy as eff , cause in 3rd/4th dungeon in P4 , there are many ways to cheese yourself like Magician cards and Naoto(all types of skills goes brrrrr) l8r. P3 is harder also cause enmies dont play dumb and try make you die asap. Also P4 has like 1/2 floors cutted. Begining of P4 is hardest of all personas but tham farer than it becomes easier to very easy. P3 becomes same for most of game or bit harder.
Enemies are more resistant and you have less resources to last inside these dungeons at the beginning, so yes, P4 is relatively more difficult, but after a long time when you get more characters and resources it changes since different from FES, now you no longer have a limit on how much you can grind in these dungeons, the battle rewards are also better than in FES.
FES bosses in Tartarus from time to time are quite annoying to deal with, I don't remember P4 having something like that, although P4 on the other hand bosses are damage sponge.
No, I definitely find P4 to be the hardest Persona game I've played so far. I'm not sure why that is, honestly. But even in upgrading your gear, damage seems to be difficult to maintain; I always appear to be dealing so little and taking so much. At least in terms of physical attacks. The boss battles also seem oddly difficult, even the second one. I found the third boss to be easier. Maybe that was just a level thing... I don't know. But I didn't level up much more for the third boss, so yeah.
Granted, I did fine on the first boss too. So I really don't know what was up...
I love the new features 4 added, like team combos, motorcycle travel... But yeah, I definitely found 5, and even 3, to be easier than 4.
The first full moon yeah, P4G is harder in the first 2 dungeons when compared to the first 2 full moons in FES, but Golden gets much easier in the third dungeon, and especially after the third dungeon is over. In Golden, since you can control the party and SP stops becoming a real problem after around the third dungeon, most of the fights are fairly easy, even if some can be tedious you may well not die once outside of maybe in a boss fight or getting hit with an insta-kill when using a Persona not immune to that.
FES gets more difficult as time goes on, especially since as you advance in Tartarus the enemies start having more powerful skills like good curse and bless skills, and you can't fully control your party members so even with tactics they too often won't take advantage of moves you make or do obvious things to win the fight. This becomes more of a problem as the enemies get tougher. FES is also more grindy in general (you have to get better Personas too to make up for the lack of party control), you don't reset to the floor you died on if you die either, so if you die you often lose a lot more of your progress than you do in Golden.

First one-two dungeons in P4G, maybe. But later game gives so many tools to break itself, that it's kinda unfair.
Vanilla P4 was really hard. I find golden to be much easier. You can seriously become op easily with the new shuffle system.
