Played on Odin 2! Extremely relaxed game, good for when you're sick. This feels like what I actually want from Cozy Games but rarely get. Due to it being a fan translation and kinda obscure, it's impossible to google help with solutions that aren't obvious. Also the combat is super hard in the midgame? I mostly avoid it.

The gameplay loop and the ability to customize your party characters, super fun! But the writing of the localization just lacks that Hook, so I lost interest.

Failed out of this one at the tail end of the first story arc. Really fun and beautiful, and the world traversal weirdly was super clever. The way the maps worked was just smart. But the story really didn't grab me and my attention has been pulled away. Maybe I'll return to it later.

Yes I am playing it again because Girl Route is THE definitive P3 experience and everyone is deluding themselves. I fucking love this game, it's my favorite MegaTen (until I tackle P2). I love these characters, I love that the boys get actual SLinks and honestly Junpei's is one of my favorite in the entire series, no joke. Full offense, you can tell this is the only Persona game not directed and primarily written by a dude. The writing really truly is like "okay what if we took a very good game and got a second opinion on the script." Thank fuck. Also Akihiko is the most autistic character in the series so far and I love him so goddamn much.

2/26/24: forgive me, i am trying it again. this will be my fifth attempt at this game. I just threw the Max Macca and Max App Points cheats on in Citra and I'm going to POWER THRU THIS BITCH, this time i WILL get to the next plot beat after Kagome Tower
4/27/24: COMPLETED. WORTH IT. Neutral Route first try with no guide wtf.
