Game has been fun so far but the story is pretty boring despite the new characters being alright

I'm rating this game high mostly because of the story.
First of all, I don't think this game is worth $60. I played this game on Xbox Game Pass so it was technically free for me. The game takes around 30-40 hours to beat, and later levels get a little repetitive. I feel like $40 at most is a good price for this game.
Next, the gameplay is pretty fun; however, it does get repetitive towards the end, but there are still neat tricks that the game introduces that keeps it fresh. After the first few kingdoms, you can basically just keep fusing the strongest level personas you're able to have and just beat every level with ease; there's very little challenge besides the quests and awards. The boss fights are unique but a little underwhelming, and they are easy as well. Once you learn the gimmick, you just have to keep attacking the boss while attending to the gimmick and you just win.
I love this game's story, and I really want more people to experience it. There are some twists and a lot of intriguing plot points that make this game's story great. The characters, art, music, and cutscenes are very good.
The persona gameplay fused with tactical games like XCOM make it an interesting experience, and I enjoyed it a lot. There are only a few gripes I have with it, but I still love this game.

Despite having a cast with unique and different movesets, the goal always boils down to Triple Threats which ultimately leads to every character playing the exact same way. Not a fan of the story either. Go play Strikers instead.

A decently fun Persona 5 spin off that does tail off a little bit near the end.
