an incredibly slick re-imagining of persona 3 that brings it up to modern standards while keeping true to what made the original so powerful. it's not without a couple flaws in regards to its presentation, but they made sure to nail all the important parts so its all good

i really loved how this game built upon the turn-based gameplay from Yakuza 7 and was also pretty impressed by the spread of side content they gave us this time around, but the story didn't quite reach the heights i was expecting. i loved almost all of the new characters and was glad to see familiar faces interact in different ways, but the last 25% of the game + the ending didn't really do them justice at all. kind of a shame since it's pretty much the only stain on an otherwise excellent game

while a little buggy, it was so much better than the first one. i never want off sam lake's wild ride

I probably would've enjoyed this game more if I played it when it came out, but nowadays it feels like the gameplay aged like milk. I did enjoy the story a lot though, especially with the sparse integration of music and live-action video into its TV drama stylings. DLC was pretty good too.

it's not perfect, but the developers understood the assignment and delivered in almost every possible way. the story and exploration elements are decent enough, but the real highlights have to be the presentation, the quality of the boss fights, and the depth that can be found in the weapon mixing system

its really awesome that sega included a whole ass game with the infinite wealth demo

all hail the imperial picnicking front

burning throb is the best normal battle theme in any video game and you cannot convince me otherwise

some of the highest highs in any ff game coupled with the most abyssal lows in any game i have ever played. it's generally fun - especially the unique setpieces - but there are an abundance of glaring issues in every other corner of the game that it's hard to recommend going out of your way to play it
