6 years since I first played it and I've changed so much as a person and gained new perspectives to view the game through, and yet my love for this game has only matured.
First played the original P5 when I was a 17 y/o "boy" the year it came out and got every trophy across 4 whole playthroughs. Got P5R when it came out and Covid turned Spring Break into Quarantine. Even with this being my 4th time through this game (8 total for P5 as a whole), me having seen every bit of dialogue and story, and blitzing through the game on NG++, I can see this game is something profound.
So much of the game's design, art direction, and story has this passion that has only become clearer as I've gotten older. I don't know if I'll ever have a game hit me the same way, but I know this will be a part of the media that sticks with me all my life.
