The gold standard for video game remakes, not a single thing from the original has been lost here and it shows how far ahead ATLUS are compared to the rest of the gaming world.
I have no real issues with the gameplay even if it is a bit of a shock compared to main P3.
I think this is genuinely terribly written in every aspect, from premise, to beginning, to end. Metis is a pointless character, the fights with your squad at the end make no sense because Yukari all of a sudden ignores everything that Akihiko says about not returning to the past.
But oh wait! That doesn't even matter, because they can literally see when Makoto became the Great Seal, so all that fighting was for fucking nothing.
Final boss should have been Makoto, not 3 fights before the actual final boss.

THE greatest video game ever made, life changing.
I LOVE YOU GORO AKECHI!!!

RAHJHHH THIS GAME IS SO FUCKING GOOD WEHFFJG
This game fucks, it's an upgrade in every way from the first game I would also say the cast is significantly better than P3's, at least for me. This game is still pretty easy and you always know what you're doing, but if you're a newbie I would recommend having a guide or some emulator cheats on standby.

Ok let me just start by saying, this game's combat isn't bad, it just sucks to play with no upgrades. I love this game.
On my 3rd replay, I realized this game's pacing is awful. I love the stuff with Kiryu and his orphanage but it really comes at the expense of the main plot which is pretty short and just feels off. The first 5 chapters are nothing with 2 oddly long ones.
Good game overall, 4 improves on it in every way though IMO.

Yakuza 5 for me, will always be the height of this series, just for how big it is and how everything about it is just perfect. The finale is also the best thing ever like holy fuck.
Also terrible like I said with the first game, but this one is so... unique. It's very violent, and almost like shock horror in a sense. Played the full thing co op with a friend in one sitting for like 4 hours.
Played this game and nothing but it for like 4 days straight, fantastic even if I think certain parts of the story are lacking.
2001
Quite honestly this game is fucking garbage, like on god... but it gave birth to Bayonetta which IMO is a much better franchise in general!
2023
Took me ages to replay this as you can see because I got busy with Payday 3 but my god this game, even in a slightly butchered state, is still amazing.
Play Kimi No Kioku at my funeral.

Not a remake whatsoever and I have no idea why the sub-title says that.
Did SEBEC route, the average person will crumble playing this game today, so you should 100% have a guide and/or some cheats on hand. It was interesting, I quite enjoyed it but oh my god the FPS dungeon crawling along with the ridiculously high encounter rate (caused by the encounter rate originally being tied to the PSones CPU clock or some shit, not changed for PSP) nearly made me quit at the beginning, but I got used to it. If you're a diehard Persona fan I would recommend you play this, but that being said I would not blame you for not finishing it or using a guide/cheats to help you.

Replay for the first time in 4 years. I love Naoto, did I mention I love Naoto?
Doesn't do much to innovate upon previous 2D Mario games but was still enjoyable. I felt franchise fatigue even though it's been nearly a decade since the last time I played a 2D Mario game.
2016
Contrary to what most people think, I think this a fine remake. I would still recommend you play both the originals and these though.
