This game was fun and I enjoyed it. The characters can be iffy, some being as this as paper, Hifumi, and others being really great like Byakuya or Sakura. Investigations can be cool, annoying, disappointing, and or they could be the first one, terrible. The trials in the game were fun. The chapters are kinda the same way with how I feel about chapters, as the 3rd chapter being the worst, which is a trend that I came to see in the series. Overall, it is an OK read, and it has my favorite character in the series (Taka), so that gives half a star to the game. The true rating without personal bias for me is 3.5 out of 5.

Out of the Persona games I have played (except IS and EP because I haven't played them yet), this is my favorite. The gameplay is similar to 3 for me, as well as its tone being much lighter, but, man, its story is great. The goal, the walls, and especially the characters. My favorite social links are Magician, Emperor, and Death, the first two being more personal to me and Death being the most compelling one to me. One of the few pieces of media to make me start tearing up as well as shedding a tear or two. Overall, YELLOW IS REAL. I LOVE MIXING RED AND GREEN TO MAKE THIS GODSEND COLOR. Also, Izanagi's designs are cool and Swagger.

The first Armored Core game I played where I wasn't a drooling baby. The game was a blast and genuinely fun to the point where I finished the game 3 times for each ending in a week from its launch. Pre-patch Balteus, though, was one of the best fights I've had in games. Customization of its parts and weapons as well as painting your mech make it even more ATTRACTIVE. The only problem I had was with the camera controls being slow for my taste, making enemies hard to track, especially when they move so fast that you lose your lock easily. Appearing behind you (I have trouble activating the quick-turn).
