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.
