After swearing off of JRPGs after a bad experience with Dragon Quest, Persona 4 showed me that the genre CAN be fun. It's so stylish and fun in its art design, music, and characters. I turned up the XP gain from one of its many difficulty options and I never had an issue with having to grind. The Social Link aspect was my favorite part of the game. I loved to learn more about the characters through these interactions.

My only complaint with Persona 4 is how obtuse it can be at times, especially for the end of the game and its "Golden" content. Thankfully I made multiple saves because the game ended much earlier than it should have(on multiple occasions). Even with whatever negative feelings I have, this is one of the most unique games I've experienced in a long time. I'm looking forward to playing it again later down the time(and hopefully not taking 2 years to finish).
