I played this game in... well 2009, when it came out. At the time in high school I would literally go to my local gamestop and look through the physical preorder booklet for upcoming ds games, and I ended up paying full price.
This game is a mess, especially localized. The written script and the spoken script are completely different - the former seems machine translated, almost, though I'm not sure that tech was usable at the time, while the latter has actual proper localization to it - and the plot is. Well, not that I've grown into a fantastic appreciation for the Persona series, but this definitely wanted to be the same kind of thing!
I should 100% the extra scenes someday, but this is a very very personal 5 stars for being instrumental in figuring out that I wanted to be involved in making video games. It's charming very specifically if you're looking for the exact sort of thing it is.
