Took me 80 hours in both this and Persona 3 FES to realize that I just don’t jive with these games.

Most of what I liked about this game is its aesthetics, the soundtrack, and a lot of character designs. As strong as that is though, I just couldn’t be bothered to slog through the seemingly endless wait for things to happen in the story. The dungeons were exceptionally easy and usually done with in a single trip, the pressure to raise all my social stats every day a Confidant was unavailable was mind numbing, and Mementos presented me the same boredom that Tartarus did in 3 FES when I wanted to kill time with the combat system.

I’m sure this game has its moments in the end, but I just can’t justify spending another minute finding out.
