God, what a game. Half star taken off because no Kotone/couldn’t kiss my beef bowl-loving senpai. Yes, that’s petty. Yes, I understand why they didn’t include her. No, I won’t apologize.

P3 has always been the highlight of the series for me—the best characters & the most engaging story by far imo—and P3R enhanced everything that worked for it while also fixing what didn’t (namely making the grinding WAY less grindy).

My one real complaint: I’d only ever played P3P as Kotone and left P3R still feeling as though her route is the superior one. Koromaru as a social link? The Shinji & Aki routes? No competition. Still, I didn’t miss her as much as I expected to, and that’s a testament to how fun this game is (and also to how much I love Yukari). Memento Mori etc.
