Started out fun but became too grindy, repetitive and clunky with later story characters just feeling like they were whining sadly :<

Later café sections doesn't feel optimised for so many customers (so many leave angry 90 percent of the time) and the space is so TIGHT that EVERYONE will push your character around!! (The most annoying part of this game tbh). Want to take that customer's order? NOPE. YOU CAN'T. As one of the staff pushes you OUT OF THEIR WAY ACROSS THE ENTIRE CAFÉ! Then you wasted time accumulatively that many customers have left angry :]

Needless grind late stage with ingredients, no real incentive NOT to skip days (it is actually more encouraged), no incentive to make new or improved meals, CLUNKY CONTROLS (input doesn't always register and... THOSE DAMN LOADING SCREENS!! The game re-introduced me to a hell I wish I didn't see again 😭

OVERALL, it started off really fun, sad to see what it came to near the end though, with more Polish it could've been a real blast 🫶

Nuzlocke'd the game

Sorry BUT, gen 4 is one of my least favourites STILL...

THO I LOVE PIPLUP AND THE ANIME SO :>

P. S. Why event exclusives only AGAIN?! 😭

I was really looking forward to this game because persona 5 ost PLUS a rythmn game just sounds... PERFECT

And dont get me wrong, I did have SOME FUN, for a few hours.. Then you just realise they reuse the same song (just as mixes) over and over with their being only around 6-8 unique songs out of the MASSIVE catalogue they had to work with.

Im honestly happy I got this game through like a 90 percent off sale, that makes me feel it was okay for what I paid.

I also enjoyed some of the social events more than others, some came off as if different writers were given stereotypes of said characters like 'Futaba is the nerdy one who is an otaku who lost her mother' and that is just her character throughout the game. It makes them come across as 2 dimensional ignoring the base games confidaant ranks imo, SADLY!!! 😭😭
