No.
After so many years of listening about how apparently great classic persona was, I went ahead and played it... 7 years after initially playing P3F.
It's been a long grind, but it feels bad to excessively hate on P2 like I did P1 due to the story just being really well done, both the main one across IS and EP as well as an extra scenario in EP's PSP port. But the gameplay is still really bad, and considering that you need to endure about 60 hours of it across both games I can't seriously bump the score up any higher and go around recommending those games to people. The best praise I can get is that it's not as stupid and annoying as P1, and there's at least some semblence of logic present here.
I can only hope that Atlus decides to remake these games already, but right now? Proceed with caution, and play PS1 version of P2IS and PSP version of P2EP for the best experience.

Remaster came out halfway through my playthrough and I abandoned all motivation to ever finish this version.
I don't recall why I played this and I don't want to.

Do you feel like a hero yet?

The best purse owner vidya, it's all downhill from this point forward.
Also, I played it when I was 16, afraid of re-playing it now because it'll probably suck and I only liked it back then because I was an emo little shit

It's fine, but please play with the Japanese voice acting and watch the "Other M that never was" video on YT.

Look how they massacred my boy.

Extra half-star for the Royal-exclusive chapter not being crap.
The story sucks, the gameplay sucks, but some scenes are funny and the music's alright.

At least the menus look good, I guess. Sasuga Atlus.

An ultimately better version in evey way possible. Play this instead.
Better than P4D, all the remixes are generally good. Not as challening if you have played a proper rhythm vidya before. Play this if you like P3, not much value otherwise.
I don't know how it being so similar to P3D still managed to F up this hard. The soundtrack is generally unfitting for a rhythm game and all the remixes are ass. Generally not a lot of content, and the DLC is shared with P3D, most of which was obviously made to target that game instead.
Despite what some people want you to believe, the story is not terrible. It is an OK addition to the main campaign, explaining what exactly happened in the ending, and what the real nature of Nyx was. Everyone was kept decently in character (some being better than others) with their development from the main story preserved.
The gameplay though is a giant 25 hour slog which forces the player to grind for almost every boss, with hardly any story present in between it. The game dumps you with story at the start and at the end, only showing you 5 minute cutscenes in between 2 hour grind sessions for the majority of the runtime. There's blatantly not enough story to justify the 25 hours.
Really, just watch the cutscenes on youtube and be done with it. I doubt you want an equivalent of 100 extra Tartarus floors on a higher difficulty after playing the main story.
