Gave this a fair shot till I couldn't anymore after 45 hours in. God I wanted to like this game but there's just so much that I just didn't like at all. For one the calendar system makes the game feel like an unnecessary drag considering it goes day by day and takes a while for it to get to the next plot point which leads to the plot itself. It feels like it goes nowhere for over half the game and takes forever to get anything interesting to happen. It wouldn't be such a problem if there was more things to do but there just isn't, it's either Tartarus (which itself is the worst dungeon of any video game that I ever had the displeasure of going to), raising your social stats which is a boring waste of time, or social links, good God social links. I don't hate the social link concept I think it's a good way to give life and build upon non-plot relevant characters, but the way Persona 3 does it kills any interest I have in doing them. Of the ones I did it was all just dialogue which is fine, but I would prefer if it lead to an extra dungeon or extra bosses (that aren't reskins) but nope, no other interesting bonuses other than exp for fusing. I also wasn't a huge fan of the "one more" system p3 introduces, it just feels like press turn but without any of the meat that makes press turn good, it isn't a bad system by any means it's just not that good in my opinion. And finally, the bosses/enemies. My God why oh WHY did they think it was a good idea to use reskins upon reskins upon reskins of enemies. I don't wanna see blob maya variant #27 I want to see something cool, and that cool is the full moon bosses which are all pushovers. Why couldn't they have the same difficulty as the tartarus bosses they have such interesting designs. I don't feel like getting into characters because I feel like I've said enough. I don't have much problem with the main cast I just find most of them uninteresting (looking at you fuuka). All these issues I had accumulated into killing any interest I had finishing this game, or ever bothering with persona 4 or 5. This ain't for me and I hope to never play it or think of it again until I inevitably get p4au once rollback drops.
