must a game be good? is it not enough for it to just be cute and addictive?

i remember spending hours of my childhood just playing this game. recently replayed it a while ago and genuinely had a ton of fun playing it. definitely needs more love and attention

the story is atrocious and definitely a massive stepdown from the original smt iv. but it's worth playing for the gameplay alone, which is the best smt as a whole as ever had

honestly the gameplay isn't as bad as people make it out to be. sure it's a bit stale and can get boring at times but it's still perfectly playable. other than that, everything is virtually perfect. the story presented here is amazing and the characters are the best in the entire persona series

this is quintessential smt. smt at its finest. a perfect blend of gameplay and story. not to mention an amazing soundtrack as well.

my first smt game, despite its flaws it will always have a special place in my heart for introducing me into the series that changed and saved my life
