in the past


im not one of those whiny bitches who go "oh the pain i cant keep bumping into walls and dealing with these sections its so OVER" no i get thats just a part of the game. it just feels dated and boring, nothing held up and you need to run into it with an iron will to beat this in 2024.

Just not for me right now.

I feel like Persona 1 is truly a product of being the first in the series and was clearly developed as a Megaten spinoff and nothing more. Coming from what Persona would eventually turn out to be, this was hard.

It's more of a dungeon crawler than what I was in the mood for right now, with the story taking a backseat to the gameplay, which I genuinely enjoyed.

To me, it feels like the game doesn't really try to push the story as much at this point (I did only get 5 hours in... twice) and is mainly using it to guide you further along to experience new demons and the gameplay, leaving me confused about the characters and their intentions.

I'll probably read the manga and eventually come back knowing exactly what I'm in for.
