This was my first Persona game and one of the first JRPGs I ever finished many years ago and I've tried to replay it many times over the years but I only now managed to finish it again, my first playthrough I played as the male mc and also missed a ton of content since this game has a ton of easy to miss content and that's how these game go on your first playthrough, this time I played as the female mc and used a guide to complete every social link and it was an incredible experience that made me fall in love with the game all over again. Absolutely incredible must-play JRPG in my book and I can now confidently once again say that this is one of my favorite JRPGs of all time.

After playing the pixel remasters of 1 and 2, I switched over to the 3d remake for 3 and it definitely had some flaws, it required a lot more grinding than 1 and 2 did for me, the very ungenerous save system cost me significant amounts of progress at some points and made the final boss terrifying since dying would have cost me an hour+ of progress, but overall I had a really good time and enjoyed the game a lot. I wish the job system had continued to be a thing regularly instead of just sporadically appearing since while it had flaws, it also had a ton of potential and along with the story and the music, was definitely the most memorable part of the game.
