I really love the fact I can just boot this up and hang out in some of the places I used to go all the time when I lived in Tokyo. I only played this after moving out of there, but the overlap of places depicted here and places I would go to do stuff is huge, which is a real blessing when I want to reminisce. I used to live really close to Inokashira Koen and I would go there all the time to take pictures, my workplace was in Shibuya and would stroll around after work until dinnertime, there was this brazilian ramen joint I loved in Sancha, along with tons of record shops... When I saw Kichijoji for the first time in this game I just spent 1h just hanging out.

Anyway, just immaculate presentation. Although is not the best Persona game, it's still the most replayable one by a long mile because of that - it's like like a luxurious hotel package where everything is taken care for you and you just have to sit back and enjoy it without any care in the world. The menus, the UI snappiness, the music, everything comes together and makes this one of the best hangout games ever.

Played it on the hardest difficulty setting this time around, which is still fairly easy compared to other SMT titles, particularly the ones for the DS. Also played in japanese, which is something I should really start doing every time I replay japanese titles, it's great practice
