The only thing that stops the 5 star rating is the fact that the game's story feels unfinished (it was a prequel tbf) and it's also only 6 hours long.

Same boring characters and plot as Persona 5 although the 3rd semester content is REALLY good.

Characters are amazing but the combat sucks.

2016

Campaign is fine, Multiplayer is good.

Campaign is fine, Multiplayer is bad.

Gameplay is absolutely incredible and I love the characters.

Story and characters are probably the best in the Persona series, in my opinion it's better than it's sequel, Eternal Punishment.

It's Persona 3 but portably, so it's great.

The best ending to this game is the early "bad" ending where you leave Joseph alone and credits roll.

Love the death system and routes in this game.

Game is great in terms of gameplay, soundtrack, art design and a few other things. The reason this game isn't 5 stars is because of the story. Without spoiling much I will say that Dazai hogs up pretty much all the screentime for character development so you rarely get to see Yuzuru develop. None of the sides in this game are great, Law is full of assholes, Chaos is full of assholes (while more likeable), and Neutral is just...underwhelming.
