The best design and gameplay the series has ever had, but maybe the least relatable characters. Hope a better translation shows up some day.

One of the only games where I reached the 100 hour mark, beat the game, and felt like it wasn't long enough, I just want to spend more time in this world and with these characters, and while its characters and story are arguably a step back from 3 and 4 its gameplay and UI are head and shoulders above the rest of the series. Easily the best Persona yet, I hope we get an extended edition because I'm dying to dive back in.

the ending loses some steam, but this is legitimately great. its greatest problem is that it wasn't an episodic release — I found myself forced to complete it as quickly as possible so I wouldn't be spoiled, but doing so gave me less time to cherish the experience. if each dungeon were released weekly, that'd be a great way to solve this problem AND promote longevity. as is, it's still very great, with one of the best soundtracks of the decade. Rivers in the fuckin' Desert, man.

I see where people who disliked it are coming from, it's a much more commercial and simplified version of an already more commercial and simplified version of a much larger series and older series, and the writing is not always the best. But man, this is aesthetically the best Persona by far. There's so much love put in every detail, from character development to level design. As soon as I finished it I immediately new gameplay just to see what I could do differently.

genuinely remarkable audiovisual aesthetic and exceptional gameplay, where extra-curricular activities interact wonderfully with the battle system. but it's a persona game, so the writing and characterization are, well, lightweight, perhaps even juvenile. the women in particular seem cynically designed to generate "best girl" discussions on internet forums. yet i cannot deny that i enjoyed this immensely. beautiful kitsch.
