My favorite RPG of all time, and one of the finest ever created. I cry every time at the end of my play through, not because anything sad happened, but because I'm going to miss my friends. The characters feel real and alive, with Kanji and Dojima being the pinnacle. I love RPGs, and I love games about time management, so it's no surprise that I love Persona. Is the story as good as Persona 3? No. Is the combat as fun as Persona 5? No. Does Golden hyperbolize some characters, particularly Chie? Yes. But it doesn't matter. No game is perfect, and this is the closest I've ever come to seeing it.
