Really love the Pokemon-but-weird-and-horny gameplay of the SMT franchise, and P5R feels like an exceptional refinement of that. That being said, I feel like this game's greatest weakness is very much that it is trying (and often failing) to straddle the line between "meaningful critique of societal problems in Japan" and "teenage boy anime wish fulfillment." Why can you romance your teacher after the first villain in the game was a teacher grooming his student who is now one of your best friends? Why does Makoto want to be a cop when the entire game is basically screaming "THE JAPANESE SYSTEM OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE IS UNJUST AND WRONG AT A FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL" for its entire runtime? Why is Ryuji nobly sacrificing himself to save the people who changed his life, only to barely survive through sheer luck, turned into a "ha ha girls beat up boy" punchline? Why are the Velvet Room attendants dressed like that? Why why why why why.
