As someone who had never even been interested in Persona untill recently - I can’t believe I missed out for so long, this game is immaculate, and I’m legit sad that it’s over.
It’s a JRPG, so the story matters, and luckily this has a great story, one that taps into the real world issues we all face in a way I’ve never seen before - alongside the best cast of characters I’ve ever met. And I say met like they’re real, they damn near feel real by the end, as you get to know them, help them with problems and help them grow as people, it makes the ending hit harder than you could even believe.
Gameplay is half social simulator story, where you go to school, get a job, have a girlfriend, walk round shibuya city and go to the cinema, it’s all so tightly crafted and works to enhance to world of persona 5.
The other half is a turn based RPG that is hands down the best turn based gameplay I’ve ever experienced. It’s fast, it’s tactical, and every battle can be over in moments if you play well. All helped by the style. Can’t talk this game without talking style, oh my god it’s a treat to the eyes and the battles are the part that style is up the most, assisted by the best soundtrack I’ve ever heard in game.
This gets the highest reccomendation from me, but I will warn you, it’s long, it took me over 100 hours to beat it. And half of that is dialogue. But that’s not a problem, it’s how it is, and it’s near perfect 9.8/10
