Persona 5, a turn-based JRPG with visual novel elements, follows a high school student with a criminal record for a crime he didn't commit. Soon he meets several characters who share similar fates to him, and discovers a metaphysical realm which allows him and his friends to channel their pent-up frustrations into becoming a group of vigilantes reveling in aesthetics and rebellion while fighting corruption.

There's something there, (there must be, I know so many people love it) but it's proving too hard to look past all the weeby (read: sexual/childish/ott) content.
Imo, I just can't play it. Not my type of game but thats ok. The little bit I played of it was good but its just really boring sometimes
Change your heart.
Got 90 hours in before getting exhausted and abandoning it. The double think of having you take down a pedophilic teacher and then being able to, as a 16 year old, romantically pursue two mid 30's women is baffling. The sexualization of teenagers is just also not it. There is just too much time sink and not enough good story for me to feel like I would gain anything from continuing to play it.
WAKE UP GET UP GET OUT THERE
Had to shelve this one after around 83 hours spent on it because my PS3 and its controllers started failing around the time I began playing the last palace. If I ever finish this, it's gonna be on my PS3 when I get it fixed because I'm not replaying this game lol.
So far I can say It is the greatest JRPG ever made, I struggle going through even the most simple Pokemon game, but the way this game manages pacing, thourgh it's soundtrack, it's art style, it's fucking insane UI and controls, it embelisshes the fact you are playing a rock paper scissors game with extra features. Its characters can seem a bit shallow at times but through the social links you can end up pretty invested in their lives and emotions and it shock me plenty of times. I will go back to it soon.
