Making a bad remake of this was kinda hard to do, since the original had its own issues being their first shot at what would become the staple of the Persona formula. I might just be feeling a little bit nostalgic 'cause I played it a long time ago, but it really made me notice how those little details and the direction that the original had, especially in the anime parts, made the game so memorable for me, even after all those problems that it had.
Maybe it's because of the switch to the Unreal Engine or the saturation of the "Persona" franchise in these last years, but some things just didn't hit me the same way the original did. Still, for someone who isn't a fan of remakes, this is one of the better ones out there. Stuff like the new Tartarus, linked episodes, and gameplay additions like the pass and theurgy moves that add to the narrative of the game are all nice welcomes and it makes me even a little bit hopeful for "The Answer".
I still encourage you to check the original game, even if this gets considered to be the "best" version of the game by some people, it should never replace the original, maybe you could even notice some of those details that stick with me after all those years and made me cry like a bitch at the end of the game in my teenage years.

I refuse to believe that this "game" had two level designers and a score of more than 1 on this page.
This was truly the antithesis of video games.

Never trust indies that reference retro games.
