Atmosphere, setting and characters are all really fun since you don't always get to play in 1920s-1930s Japan as a detective apprentice but falls a bit flat in terms of its gameplay in the early game, it gets better later on but I completely understand if the first few chapter's gameplay turns someone off of it. Looking forward to playing the sequel. I love Raidou and the main cast!

Very unique game for its time and I really enjoyed my playthrough of it since I have a bit of a soft spot for really old turn-based JRPG games.

Persona 5 has a great first act and great sense of style that gives it a nice identity, you can feel the level of polish this game had from its menus, the sound design and quality of life additions. The combat would be close to perfect for a turn-based game if the game wasn't a bit too easy save for a few spikes here and there. The characters are all fun and distinct and the story good but not perfect however it is improved by the 3rd semester's addition but at the same time the 3rd semester also has a few problems. Overall I highly enjoyed it, 100+ hours well spent.

My introduction to JRPGs and is a classic for a reason, fun characters, setting is unique and the general vibe of the game just makes it really fun to play around in and it doesn't shy away from tugging your heartstrings either.

This version of the game actually has flaws but fortunately I am a dickrider

this game ruined my life in the best way possible

One of my favorite JRPGs of all time, such an eerily fun atmosphere and great characters. Music is also top notch and the unique combat gimmick is fun to mess around with.

Very fun mechanics, memorable characters and S-Support conversations are usually a delight to watch. However the replay value is questionable because it reuses a lot of maps which becomes stale very quickly and the story is far from perfect in all routes of the game, overall I enjoyed the game and it made me want to check out more Fire Emblem games.

now that ive played a real shin megami tensei game, i can look down on persona fans, its everything ive always wanted

Probably my favorite JRPG and video game of all time. The game has one of the most immersive and heart wrenching final acts of a video game I've ever experienced and it's story, music and characters still live rent free in my head everyday. The characters are some of my beloved in all of gaming especially Aigis, whom I consider my favorite fictional character of all time.

The game has it's flaws like any other game such as wonky social sim elements (jealousy, forced romance) and not much happening in the first few hours of the game but the sum of its parts greatly outweighs all the negatives I experienced in this game and I have and will continue to replay it time and time again.

Highly recommended, atmosphere is super immersive, the combat mechanics are fun and addicting and has a plethora of quality of life features that make the game very hard to put down. The story is genuinely intriguing and the characters are also much better than from the ones features in SMT3 Nocturne.
