01/10/2023: sebec route done!
03/10/2023: aaand sq route finished! review soon
im a big fan of the persona series so im glad i finally took the time to sit down and get around to this one! more enjoyable than i expected!
the cast is pretty strong there were times i wish they had more time to shine, but where they do shine is alot of the optional dialouge u can have with em in side areas (and there is ALOT). a big shame tho that there wasnt a new game plus bc i would have loved to replay it with a different crew since some of the cast are optional party members.
i played with the music mod and yeah, i get it now why ppl are kind of mixed on the new ost. its not bad but the but it does feel like trying to fit a round figure in a square hole. it passes trough but it doesnt entirely feel fitting. the original ost just gives a different mood that the new one doesnt really match. its a shame also bc the original ost is a banger on its own. would have loved if they remixed them instead/able to choose like in the p2 psp games.
the gameplay is where it gets kinda boring. i love the demon negotiation but with the lack of a compedium it gets a bit repetive to recruit the same old demons again.
the rank up system is intresting due to having to use a personas skill so they can gain their skillsets fully. a way so party members are actually used. but having the exp ALSO be determined by how active a party member is used is a god damn pain in the ass, esp if ur trying to grind quickly (which you probably have to at some point). not a big fan of having to position ur party members also.
but even with its hick ups im glad i played this and pumped to try more of the "oldsona" games. can only hope this gets ported in the future so ppl can try it on, flaws and all.
