I've heard a lot about this game, whether it was from my best friends or finding silly memes about "delicious pancakes" on social medias. After finally playing it for myself, I have a lot to say. I'd like to go over the bad stuff first. I would like to note that the good outweighs the bad enough to still give it a 5/5, if anything I would've given it a score above the max if I could and these problems didn't exist. The main issue I have with this game comes from two characters: Morgana and Kasumi. The former is simple, he's annoying and I hate him, especially during the Okumura arc. As for Kasumi, I hate that the game does so much to hype up this character just for her to be so unimportant and uninteresting in every way. I was told "You need to treat her as a different character in the third semester." That shouldn't be the case, she's on the poster and she's the face of the Royal content, yet she lacks so much. Anyway, the story and Palaces are very good--expect Okumura's Palace. Everything from the story, to the Palace, to the infamous boss fight sucks until the very last segment which is fine but there's so much more they could've done. With those out of the way, the good of the game is--well, everything else. A majority of the characters feel like real people I could meet in real life, such as main characters like Ann or the Confidants like Yoshida. These characters have personalities and struggles that make them feel so real and the chemistry they have with not just the MC, but everyone else in the game really adds a lot to the story and the world building. I love when you invite friends to hang out and you bump into someone else. Seeing scenarios like that makes the world feel more real than just a game, it's immersive at times. Other than Okumura's, all of the other Palaces are really fun to navigate and have good puzzles and enemies that are fun but challenging to fight at times. Bosses are pretty good for the most part though some battles feel scripted and others are underwhelming or have annoying gimmicks. Most of the arcs in the game are S-tier except for Okumura and Madarame which felt underwhelming after Kamoshida's arc. My favourite aspect of this game has to be the OST though. Some of my favourite songs include: Price, When Mother Was There, Life Will Change, Rivers in the Desert, Gentle Madman, and I believe. As someone who played Persona 4 Golden many times, the quality of life changes in terms of gameplay really improve the experience and make me want to return for New Game Plus a lot more later down the line. Overall, I would say just like Persona 4 Golden, this game was one of the best gaming experiences I've had and I would recommend it to just about anyone.
