This game is LONG and there are times where you can certainly feel it, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's a really fun game with great characters and a cool story. The combat can feel very same-y if you don't spice things up by giving your party members different classes every so often, but the diversity of the jobs and the enemies keeps things fresh.

My favourite part of the game was definitely taking part in all of the various mini-games and substories that the game has to offer. Sega didn't need to go this hard, but they did and it was definitely appreciated! In the end I'm going to remember this as an overall dramatic story with lighthearted moments frequently spread throughout that keep you guessing and can give you a giggle once in a while. Overall, definitely enjoyed the game, highly recommended for people willing to put the time in.

You can probably hop into this with no prior experience with any other Spike Chunsoft game and get the exact same experience, so that's pretty sweet. It's not like the gameplay is the most stellar in the world, but the game is carried by it's interesting premise and (mostly) fun characters.

As long as you go into this game with an open mind and not taking things too seriously, you'll come out liking it. Unfortunately, that's because there are times where the game goes jarringly from "serious drama/mystery" to "lol, pervert anime joke." If you're able to get past that and appreciate the overarching story along with the banter between characters separately, it'll be fine. The Somnium sections (the meat of the gameplay) also end up being really neat for the parts where you get to do them. Overall, if you're into an interesting mystery story with the potential to get into the characters, then I say give this a go.

As the game goes on, the dungeon crawling gets pretty repetitive, but I don't think many people buy Persona for it's fluidity and long-term combat.

The best part of the game is the day to day life aspect where you get to go around the town and get closer to the characters as your time in inaba progresses. It's super fun making the town feel alive with all of the random small events mixed in with the big story beats, and that's what makes this game so easy to fall into. Sure, the meat of the game's story is about solving some paranormal murder mystery, but the best parts of the game are the smaller stories that you get by going through and hanging out with all of your individual social links. It's easy to get invested in the characters, even the ones you aren't hanging out with 24/7 in dungeons.

I will say that while the dungeon crawling aspect can get pretty repetitive (all the dungeons are procedurally generated) the boss fights can be SUPER satisfying. It's really fun collecting all of your persona's and doing some random mixing and matching in order to get more and more OP as the game goes on, and there's no better way to see how OP you get then by dropping big damage on a boss out of nowhere.

I wouldn't feel too much shame if you have no interest in the combat and just want to jump into the story (that's what the lower difficulty settings are for) but it really isn't too bad. I played on normal and maybe had 1 session where I did nothing but grind for like 2 hours in a dungeon and listen to a podcast, and then the rest of the game was smooth sailing. Definitely worth a buy, especially if you want some sort of jumping in point for these types of games.

It took me more than 30 hours to beat VLR so I decided to hop in to this game immediately after.

It lets you beat this one in about 10 minutes

10/10

Edit, now having actually completed the game:

Still give it a thumbs up and a must play for anyone who played the other two games. The graphics and character models admitidly can be kind of distractingly bad, but the story itself is actually really solid even looking past some of the weird bits Such as everyone ignoring a serial killer is with them in the true end and how it turns out there is a 10th "surprise" character who is actually the main antagonist of literally the entire series that you're "playing" as but it's really hard to tell unless you looks super closely into the game.

Overall, the game itself was still an experience I don't regret given it included the same escape the room puzzles that I liked so much, plus everything is tied together in a story only Spike Chunsoft can think up.

After buying it at launch, playing it, and then putting it off for a while, I am so so glad I got back into this. The DLC that's been added since launch have been really fun and have had fantastic story based elements and characters. I think the game gets a bad knock as a whole for the supposed lack of RP ability. It's true that dialogue options are limmitted and that sometimes the static questios are anything but interesting, but there are still tons of choices that get to be made throughout the game and the enviroment constantly keeps you on your toes once you are particularly into it.

Especially now that it's on sale for such a low price, DEFINITELY give it a try. You'll easily get over 40 hours of this and that's without doing any of the DLC or all of the sidequests and faction quests.
