This is mostly a gameplay review than story review because I did not buy it for the story, but I will say wow this might just be the most dialogue heavy fighting game I've ever played.
It's not the most deep fighting game ever but it's really solid and gets the job done. Anyone who's a big fan of Persona 3 or 4 and likes fighting games would get quite a bit of enjoyment out of this title. There are 22 characters on the character select screen but in truth it's really 20 fully unique fighters with about 10 clones. That is solid, especially considering it contains most of the important characters from the two games it is based on.
I've also played BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle which includes multiple characters from this game but in a 2v2 format rather than only 1v1. I'd love see to a sequel to this game that includes Persona 5 and hopefully older Persona game characters too with new mechanics and the option to play 2v2s and 3v3s. Possibly even include new battle mechanics such as a quick rush in movement option skin to FighterZ. I found most ranged characters to be a bit more annoying to deal with in this game due to there being less movement options. As a Naoto main I mainly just have to block and occasionally use my own ranged moves to counter ranged oriented characters which makes the game less fun. Mixing close and far range options together nicely is more ideal.
Overall even if you're not a Persona 3 or 4 fan it's still a decent fighting game. It would not be my first recommendation but it's definitely enjoyable.
