I think it's important to rate gatchas on their longevity since that's how they're meant to played. And i will always factor in how easy it is to F2P. I only played this game consistently for a month with the content thats currently available. The story is intriguing with a slow start, and you get to know the characters more with the side content. Earning in game currency becomes so difficult once you've completed the side content. Combined with short banner times and lackluster rewards in events i can only see this game being held up by the updated story content which is a shame. The fact that chinese whales were boycotting shows that there is a lot wrong with LaDS system. I may come back to it eventually, especially since i am fond of the characters and story, but this definitely isnt earning my full attention anymore.

Definitely one of my favorite Persona games now. I adore this cast and I just wanted them to be happy. Finding a purpose to your life is a struggle that everyone goes through, and it was intriguing to see these young kids figuring out how to maneuver their lives. I remember being young and confused about what I wanted to do, and at times I still feel that way. I feel like finding purpose is a task that always lingers. On a more technical aspect, Tartarus is literally a tower so maneuvering can get dull but the block designs add some variety, but at the end of the day it's still a tower. There's many quality of life aspects that make experimenting with different teams an option unlike the older games. Though the addition was welcome, it made the game very easy on Normal difficulty. But difficulty is hard to review because it's relative to everyone, but that's my personal experience. Utilizing buffs/debuffs can make many encounters become a breeze. Overall, lovely game, I'm gonna be thinking about this cast for a while.

Beautiful beautiful game. The ending is a bit if a shock, but thematically it does make sense even if it seems like it comes out of nowhere. I adore Mae and her friends and their journeys navigating their 20s, and I do have hope for all these fictional characters. I feel like it's just a game about caring, for your life and for others.
