the best newsona game altho p4 is my favorite
the gameplay is at it's strongest here, the combat is very enjoyable due to stun locking and the tactics menu is very intuitive and easy to use since party members just have like 2 useful skills so you set them to full out assault/heal & support and you're golden (minus endgame mitsuru spamming mind charge but mitsuru sucks ass so you shouldn't use her anyways). the presentation is very very good and does most of the heavy lifting when it comes to the story
the plot fucking sucks ass and isn't consistenly good until december, i wish atlus rewrote it for persona 3 reload but i guess there is no god
