This game made me realize that there will never be a good Persona game. At best you can have a game that's good at doing the Persona formula. (i.e, a high school visual novel that's only sometimes a JRPG.. if the weather allows.) Persona 4 isn't even that. The story is too stupid and riddled with holes (talking teddy bear who has never met a human and who knows nothing about human society but is able to craft eyeglasses for everyone to wear) has cringe inducing dialogue that feels like it's pulled out of a tedious comedy sketch, has a silent protagonist that everyone else in the main cast immediately becomes trusting and subservient towards for no reason whatsoever, and invokes blatant dues ex machina in order to grant the protagonist the ability to weild a Persona without having to undergo any sort of character growth. (due to not having a character)
