I played Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga games. And i played all Persona games(Except Eternal Punishment). I like this series and i was curios for first game. I was expecting a boring game. Or rather, I was expecting a slow-paced and very outdated game. But surprisingly the game is still fun. Because the battles are very fast, unless you are in the open world, the battle screen does not enter at the moment of encounter with the loading screen. You fight directly and it ends very quickly. There are many factors that make the game practical, and I know that the Playstation 1 version also contributes to this, so I am giving my score based on this version (I also played it a little on SNES).
