I leave feeling pretty mixed. Don't get me wrong, it's good! It's a Persona game so its highs are pretty obvious: it's a game oozing with style, complimented by excellent art direction and music, following a party of fun personalities who you're overly-attached to by the end. But past that... I don't know man, I have a lot of issues. The dungeon-crawling is somewhat fun but super redundant for an 80 hour game, the story and the message can be clunky, and most pressingly oh my god some of this game's content has aged like milk. I'm no stranger to anime and normally I can look past the more insensitive, creepy, or ignorant jokes, but in Persona 4 it's just fucking constant.

Like I said, I enjoyed the game and I really do LOVE some of these characters (Kanji is an all time favorite Persona party member). If this is your favorite game in the series I can genuinely see why, but as it stands, it definitely is not mine.
