7/10
It's fine, I guess. I'm playing this after playing p3 reload
The gameplay is really boring, It's a complete slog, the abyss takes forever just to get to the end since none of the floors feel like they end, the bosses are ok, the evade skills they give them are really annoying and they don't make the bosses difficult, they're just really tedious to beat. Erebus is a cool boss but i wish his HP was lowered a bit more and made it equally as a threat as nyx because erebus is really easy to beat, he just takes a long time to defeat because of how tanky he is.
The story is fine, the story is focusing on the aftermath of the protags death, with how everyone is going their own way of life (pun entirely intended) and everyone not being as close to another, like how fukka calls Yukari in the beginning how she hasn't talked to her in a while, it's obvious that everyone took the protags death pretty badly. I just wished they focused of all of the members instead of just aigis and Yukari, they both did take the protags death a lot worse than the others but how they just make them the main focus instead of the entire group isn't the greatest choice, if they really showed that the entire group was really hurt by his death would be a great choice to fully see for ourselves how the others besides aigis and Yukari took the protags death. I also enjoyed metis there too, even though she's kinda annoying at times,
I enjoyed her character, also how they explain that the shadow that from the start of the abyss from the end of it was the regret of the protag dying and how he can change to other personas from the team (except metis) and use them against you. The choice of the keys of what to do with them is cool, I understand why Yukari is making this choice since with all the shit she has dealt with, obviously someone when they're emotional would probably make the same choice she did if they were in her situation, the fights with your teammates is really cool, the team finding out about why makoto died and the purpose of him becoming to seal to stop people from tatsumi port Island from getting close to nyx, also how they apply that possibly if people stop wishing for death, makoto can stop being the great seal and can come back to life, I don't hate this imo, they end the answer off pretty good, it felt like it wrapped off with a satisfying ending that finally closed the book of p3, the story wasn't perfect but it did a good job for the answer. The OST is pretty cool tho, heartful cry and darkness are really good. Same with the theme for the Abyss of Time.
also the dub is not good.
Hopefully Reload fixes the problems here. it would be pretty cool if when you're fighting your allies, they could shift to each other, that would be cool methinks.
