Cozy, homely and very creative, but doesn't quite reach the same heights as P3 for me.

Most social links are shallow and uninteresting, navigating the dungeons is a slog without more options to avoid encounters and the days could be better structured as well, with more stuff to do.

Overall, I feel it could benefit a lot from the Reload treatment, especially in the combat/gameplay, UI and quality of life aspects, with clearer indication of where and when social links are available, clearer progression, more daily activities etc. Though it'd need more than that to fix the shallow social links and weak character development.

On the brighter side, it has creativity smeared all over the screen, a banging soundtrack, a great setting in the countryside town of Inaba and all the main characters are likeable and fun.
