If you can believe it, I was actually scared that before playing P3R, I wouldn't even like it. Coming from mainly a FPS/Fighting game background, turn-based combat and visual novel-style interactions didn't exactly seem like my cup of tea. That was until I actually tried that cup of tea and realized I fucking love Earl Gray (is the analogy making sense...?). Nearly 100 hours later with a playthrough that spanned just under 2 months, I have a new thing in the world that I will speak about for years. I do not have the words to sing enough of its praises, it is perfect in quite possibly every single way, and god damn you Atlus you have turned me into a Persona fan. I am distraught, debilitated, and fucking depressed that I will never be able to play this game for the first time again. I wanna say thanks to every single staff member who made not only this game possible, but of course the original Persona 3 as well. You've truly made this an unforgettable experience.
