This game made me wish we just got a Persona 3 sequel about Mitsuru and Aigis forming the Shadow Ops and it stayed a JRPG. Labrys was great. And having a verbal protagonist was great. I liked playing as Teddie. Those are all the nice things I have to say.
I did not like the visual novel storytelling. The characterization was bad. The plot was just a rehash of both Persona 4 and Persona 1, even recycling some of the Investigation Team's character development. The reason for fighting was super contrived and playing through the same story repeatedly but just changing the POV character while all contradicting each other did not make for an engaging story. I did not like Persona 4 Golden and I did not expect this game to be worse, but it was so much worse.
