My first venture into the Persona franchise was P5R, which kept strangling me with tutorials of new mechanics at the 15th hour of my gameplay still. Me being used to the core mechanics is what got me to double my patience and drop P3R around the 32 hour mark. The story was interesting but I just couldn't bear with Tartarus anymore let alone 30 more hours of it. One positive thing is, I'll definitely be looking forward to RE:Fantazio.
