I played this game for 20 hours I wish i can get those hours back. All i have to say is Tartarus. Just Tartarus. It sucks. A big fucking tower with the same floors for a 100 stories. Not only is it extremely boring its suckiness is exemplified by how often you need to go there. I found myself hoping and praying for the story events to occur on any given day so that the game can get interesting again. It has very poor pacing in that regard and it made it hard to stomach such a mediocre game for another 50 or so hours. I'll see if the remake fixes my gripes in these areas but for now P3FES stands alone as possibly the worst jrpg i have played by a large margin.

The dungeons are definitely the weakest part of P3 and P4. Curious if you found the dungeons in P4 to be any better. I like both of those games a lot but feel like the dungeons are roughly on the same level of boringness in both games. Both dungeons would have been greatly helped by a bit more complexity IMO. Really odd to me that neither of the games have dungeons with warp tiles, pitfalls, conveyor belts, etc. which are a staple of the dungeons in basically every other SMT game.

Like by the end of Tartarus I was practically begging for some typical early SMT bullshit like a warp tile that sends you back to the start of the dungeon to at least make things more interesting

Nah man don't worry its not actually as long as 100 floors. In reality its only about 264 floors, so it shouldn't be all that bad!
