I don't think people even know what "style over substance" means anymore. They just say it because it's smug. If anything, there's too much substance for one playthrough in even the original P5. I've played every game from ATLUS and P5 has easily the most substance out of all of them, despite not being my favorite. There's so many areas, minigames, activities, and countless missable full events for each non-story progression social link that a player trying to game the social links optimally would never see because they aren't rank-up events, and I hear Royal only adds more substance on top of it. And with the stealth dynamic added to dungeons, you can turn it into a stealth game with retreating from palaces with high security by slowly sneaking your way out on low SP.

Style over substance would honestly apply more to Metal Gear Rising. That game has a lot of design issues but is heavily carried by its presentation, animations, music, boss fights, and zandatsu system.

This language looks so cool but I cannot even begin to guess how to pronounce it. But then again, the same should apply to Japanese and I understand that. It reminds me of Final Fantasy X's Al Bhed language, that starts by looking completely incomprehensible and slowly makes more and more sense the more you learn. This world is truly such a massive, diverse, and wonderous place.

The first part is my review of the game, the second is my rant over Xbox.

Review: WOOOOO-OOOAAAAH YEEEEE-AAAAAAH

Xbox fans love to defend Microsoft buying out studios because Sony does it too, but at least when Sony does it, they don't IMMEDIATELY shut down an entire 14 year old studio a year after they put out their first exclusive for the company, which also happens to be the best game on their platform in DECADES just to line the pockets of their executives.

Japan Studio's closure was the worst thing Sony ever did. But in the bleakest of perspectives, it makes sense as their games were never financially profitable, and were bleeding money for over a decade, especially after the development hell The Last Guardian went through, only to sell a little over a million copies.

Hi-Fi Rush was a much smaller game that reached universal acclaim with 3.5 million sold copies in just a little over a year. That is insanely good for a mid-budget game. Microsoft had zero reason to shut down the studio to prop up Bethesda with their most mediocre game yet that even IGN gave a 7/10, along with an extraordinarily generic Indiana Jones game and a generic Marvel tie-in game.

Not even to mention that Microsoft is a TRILLION($3,000,000,000,000+) dollar company that has zero reason to purge studios that make successful games.

Hi-Fi Rush was one of the most unique games we've gotten in years and now it will never receive a follow-up thanks to corporate greed and incompetency from the worst company in the entire gaming industry. Far worse than EA or Ubisoft.
