To start off, the story in this game is amazing, the foreshadowing about the real killer and the mystery about him is done very well. All of the main cast in this game are likable except for teddy at the first half of the game where his voice is extremely annoying and he speaks every second in the first 3 palaces making them almost unbearable. ;)

I don't want to compare this game to persona 5 but comparing palaces the palaces I have to say that p4's are trash as they are just randomized like moments but with worse soundtrack on all of them except for nanako's palace which had an amazing ost.

The combat in this game is fine but the variety of enemies is what makes it unappealing to fight as almost all of the shadows are the same just more powerful and with a slightly different look, I also think the shuffle time mechanic itself is fine but not having negotiations and only way to get new persona's other than fusing is through the bullshit shuffle time that gives you mostly the same 3 or 4 personas in every palace so that you have to grind just to get the same persona while the others don't show up is very stupid.

The boss mechanics are decent but them being huge bullet sponges ruined them as I don't care to grind just so I can pass through a boss without spending 40 minutes fighting each one.
