As I expected, this was so much better than Persona 5. Visuals, characters, and the main theme of the game (overcoming the fear of death). I've played Persona 3 Portable before, and I can assure that Tartarus is a lot more enjoyable in this game, there's no need in grinding non-stop. But there were a few issues, take this as an instance:

- Social links aren't moved into New Game +, so if you want to get the hardest achievement, you must max all of them again.

- As always, the social links with girls are impossible to swallow. Why making half of their relationship all about love? I don't care that people think I'm dating Chihiro or Yuko, for god’s sake. Just let me get to know them. (I personally don't like how girls always fall for the mid guy without personality in Persona games. But I guess that's why people love these games, thinking of it as a self-insert).

- There's no female main character. This is not much trouble, but probably they'll add it as a paid DLC, I can bet.

- Announce a paid DLC with The Answer not even a month after the game release. If they already had it done, why not include it with the base game? I think I know the Answer: money.

- They didn't add content to the ending. So again, we have a non-sense plain ending. Why did it happen a month before the final fight? Yeah, I know it was to keep his promise. But for real, can't we have a reaction from the characters that we were living with for a year?
