it was my first time playing these rpg games, and, altough this one had an amazing lore and story, the mechanichs of gambling items and farming xp to level up and get stronger and get better personas really got boring for me after a few days. plus, mostly of the time when i wasn't on tartarus i felt overwhelmed by the amount of things i could on my free time, from leveling up my personal stats to leveling up one of my MANY (really. there are a lot. idk why.) social links. besides this, the game also lost some points because of one of the most ridiculous boss fights i've ever seen, that imposes stupid, non-sense and IMPLICIT rules (since the game never tell you them, i had to find it online), and basically throws the majority of the games mechanics away.
