got to the side-quest where the demon andras asked me to collect 5 bicorn horns because he needs it to make a potion. the demon andras in actual lore does not make potions meaning this quest exists to pad out content and means nothing haha.

I've been bugged to hell to play more of this since I've put it down for a bit and after picking it back up I'm bored to tears.

Seeing tons praise this for the gameplay but man imagine praising RPGs, games that are inspired by D&D (the point of D&D isn't how "fun" and complex the mechanics are) and not its story, world and atmosphere than it fails.

This game is made for people who call Nocturne "hard to get into" for its mechanics and ignoring literally everything else about it. But I never finished an SMT game ever so what do I know. (i'll try to finish this eventually might have the best story out of all of the Atlus games so far).

Encouraged exploration but act of exploring leaves things to be desires (I notice my brain turning off as I move around) but it's still rewarding to experiment with areas you can go too which was something mostly prominent in IV

Disappointing to see this be so generic considering what came before. In terms of presentation and gameplay. (Pointless/redundant tutorials, aesthetically forgettable presentation) Still more watchable than persona's '90% nothing' visual novel ass cutscenes
