I've always wanted to write something for this duology, and now that it's fresh in my mind, let's not waste time: it's a godamn masterpiece.
Eternal Punishment is the sequel of Innocent Sin, and WHAT OF A SEQUEL. Still in the same vein of the first one, i'm just amazed how great the story is. This is, like i said before, a direct sequel of Innocent Sin, involving most of the same characters and story elements, but in a different way. I won't spoil anything, but it is just too great.
The crew members are this time (and only this time, sadly) adults, and i'm pretty sure that's one of the reason this game is so good. The themes and reflections are those of the transition to adulthood and the beginning of life in society, which will resonate much more in the minds of adults than the eternal problems of high school students life.
In this one, Tatsuya (the protagonist of the first one) becomes a recurring character who speaks while Maya, who spoke in the first one, becomes the silent protagonist of this one. I was amazed how great Tatsuya quickly become one of my favorite persona protagonist, juste by giving him his personnality and own reactions. Silent protagonists are something i don't particularly like, so it was a bless for this game to giving me 2 real mc, even if it's turn by turn.
Well, whatever, like already said before, this game is a godamn masterpiece, everything is way too good, from the characters to the OST. Undeniably one of atlus finnest piece of art. We will be there if a remake ever comes out.

This review contains spoilers
Atlus boss said go big or go home and the writers just broke into full on disney channel song right then and there, this game/duology in general is host to my favourite villain of all-time, their twist and takes on lovecraftian horror and greek deities is quite compelling, Nyarlathotep is one of the most underrated yet brilliant persona villains IMO. They spend both games building him up as a threat and you ultimately get a bad ending no matter what. And dudee the use of the buddhist poisons to build on the characters was pretty good. Music in ps1 version has the best charm as well. Still og translation is a little strange and some pretty big plot points and character traits are lost and/or messed up cuz of it. Forever a p2 goon tho, my brain is rotting.
Genuinely peak
jogo foda
ce jeu a changé la trajectoire de ma vie je suis sérieuse…. le meilleur de la duologie et de la franchise. malgré de nombreux défauts, qui s’expliquent par de nombreuses choses, c’est définitivement une belle conclusion. un peu biaisée car j’y ai joué dans un même état d’esprit que tatsuya mdr je suis trop triste d’avoir fini noooo atlus donnez nous le remake
