Of the three Persona games I've played (3, 4 and 5) this has my favourite cast and story. The gameplay doesn't reach the heights and presentation of its successor but I will look back on this fondly. There are moments, however, where the game does spout some questionable dialogue that didn't age well but I don't personally hold that against it. It has been added to the very small list of games that nearly made me cry, which could be counted on one hand. If you got into the series with Persona 5 as I did, I would heavily recommend playing Persona 4 Golden too.
