While I think the game took some steps back from 3, I believe that the plot is much more meandry, few of the party explore the themes effectively, and the dungeon design is sloppy, I still enjoyed my time with this on the whole. I think Inaba is a fun setting, and I enjoyed the QoL features included here; most of them were probably introduced in Golden but hush! The big constant between both games though is the soundtrack being the best part. I'll be binge listening to this OST when I should be working instead for months to come.

Oh, and Marie is a terrible character.
