flashy, godtier music and style, and the first life sim to actually fulfill its promises for me. it's so damn addicting living out your days as a dumbshit highschooler and every time i pick it up i end up putting in 10+ hours without even realizing it. the turn based battling is also surprisingly fun, with batton pass being absolutely genius, and the dungeons have decent variety. only problem I have with p5r is its mid story and characters, since this is a longass game where a lot of my time is spent reading dialogue and i'd expect better in that department.
