oh god this game......its so hard to talk about games that you were obsessed with. this game literally took a hold of my life when i was playing it, couldnt do anything else until i finished it. i love persona games so much, i managed to only watch playthroughs of 1,2,3 as i dont have a console and i hope to play 5 one day. it has its problems of course, like the homophobic and transphobic remarks that are stated repeatedly throughout the game. the romance route between yosuke and ryuu being deleted, kanji's "gayness" just being explained as his "feminine traits" being understood as something else, naoto's "trans look" being written off as just her wanting to blend in with other male cops...these were truly disgusting aspects of the game. idk if they can be overlooked but if you somehow manage to ignore these parts the game play and the story, i really really enjoyed. still listening to its soundtracks.
