No the start date isn't wrong, that's how fucking long it took me to finish it.

I've already talked about my many problems with this game's writing, but to put it shortly, while the majority of choice scenes could be called 'poorly aged moments from 2008', I would argue many of them where outdated before the game even came out.

Otherwise, it's a Persona game. Yeah it's my least favourite so far, but it's still incredible, so I can't really fault it that much
