Incredible story that still influences the themes of the series moving forward. I really loved the balance between light-hearted and serious moments within the story.

I'm thankful emulators exist because unfortunately the game is dragged down by its sluggish UI and slow battle animations even when fully skipped. While at its core the combat is similar to Persona 1 in that you are setting up auto battle commands, the gameplay itself is a significant improvement over it because of the removal of the horrendous grid battle system. Negotiation is also made less tedious because of the way better level gain curve and the existence of Free Cards.

Despite that, it's worth slogging through the less-than-stellar gameplay just to experience the atmosphere and story.
