Game was alright. Not as good as P4, but better than P3FES. The palaces got a bit tedious and I didn't really care for most of the social links so I spent a lot of this game bored. I mean it had enjoyable moments. I liked the story despite a weird ass pull about a third into the story (you know what I'm talking about), but I don't recall ever really feeling pulled into it besides for the final palace. Battles still feel as good as they always have and Persona fusion is as robust and fun as ever. The new Pokémon-esque abilities personas get are a welcome addition that really adds to fusion. Particular moments that stand out in my mind are THAT BOSS (yes, you know the one and it's not good) and the new Royal content. All in all I liked the game, I just don't think it lived up to the hype that was set up by it's community.

This game's saving grace, for me, is Kasumi Yoshizawa, who has become my favorite character in all of fiction and I will never forgive Atlus for how dirty they did her. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to sell off all my organs to be able to afford all her merch.
