I LOVE this game. ill give you a quick P5og opinion rundown but I love palace 1 4 and 6. 2 is great and 8 is pretty fun and decent ending. this game OVERSTAYS its welcome. so much LOL this was one of the first JRPGS I've ever beaten so after playing a lot more JRPGS I definitely see the flaws most other JRPG fans have with this game but still, it sticks out to me, it's really unique and a blast. BUT palace 9???????????? OH MY GOD, I felt l like I was playing the OG game again for the first time. I thought I was really spoiled but I really didn't know shit and I thought it was gonna be mega-ass. But when I got to it and saw what it was about it REALLY hit me hard seeing all of my favorite characters having their tragedies undone and them living like nothing ever happened was so heartbreaking because you knew that it was gonna be undone and things were gonna go back to reality. Also, I really love the message of moving forward with your scars as lessons. Maurki is probably easily the best persona villain to date. Some of the execution is a bit shaky IMO but I think that's in vain for persona 5 because for all the bad there's a lot of good and well-done. Akechi is one of my favorite characters now because of this game.
