The Answer is a neat little (?) epilogue and a funny game (it's got a very depressing tone about dealing with grief, regret and moving on from the past), it's grindy af and full of bullshit but also satisfying af. Ima just do a pros and cons then finish it off
Pros: The game further cements Aigis as peak persona character writing, and is further accompanied by Metis who herself is pretty mid but she as a concept improves Aigis by being her shadow.
Music is still baller, new mass destruction is epic, the abyss of time theme really fucks towards the end, final boss theme is pretty cool, end credits song is great, and then Heartful Cry is yeah
Actual gameplay is solid, still dungeon crawling but it's nice to just turn brain off to and grind.
The overall message and tone of the answer fits perfectly with the ending of the journey, doesn't overstay its welcome
It presents a mostly fair challenge, mainly in boss fights as it does require you to think but it's manageable
Junpei
Cons: No compendium fucking sucks ass it makes grinding so fucking annoying and retarded
Can get cheesed by some random ambush BS
Mitsuru doesn't act in character at all, idrm how Yukari acts
It can be a slog as outside of combat there's nothing to do
For taking me 30 hours, there's still only like 4 hours of cutscenes and most of that is at the start and end with very little in the middle
Having to grind every single persona because of no exp boost in fusions is annoying, growth 3 is your best friend
Overall, it's a decent experience if you're willing to go through monotonous dungeon crawling but if you don't like challenge or have the time, I'd reccomend just watching the story on yt it's pretty quick. 6.5/10 would reccomend to anyone who really liked P3 and wanted closure (literally the entire end message ironically) but other than that, leaves a fair bit to be desired but fixing up the issues by adding a compendium and the problems of P3FES such as not being able to view what skills do, having to talk to each character to change equipment and heal would dramatically improve the flow and feel of the game
