My god, what a game, I think I like this even more than Persona 5 Royal.

First off, the flaws:
- Tartarus is a drag (and I played the game on Beginner);
- The villains are not very well developed, although you could argue they're not the real antagonist (I think it's time more than anything else);
- Towards the endgame (from late November onwards) I had everything maxed out except for some Social Links, so after maxing out Tower all I did at night was walk Koromaru and go to bed early, but that may be due to me playing on the easiest difficulty;
- Some Social Links are uninteresting (e.g., Moon and Devil), but it's understandable because this was the first game doing them;
- It's a shame the cutscenes had to be cut out but I just watched them on YouTube as I progressed in the story.

The pros:
- I loved the main characters, all of them. At first they look like stereotypical JRPG main cast character, but each one of them has a nice little arc of personal growth;
- The OST is AMAZING, I love the 00s aesthetic with the cheesy rap and the strings;
- The story is pretty good, the "we forgor" bait at them almost got me and I finished the game actually caring about the characters;
- I actually don't think I mind the visual novel style navigation instead of a 3D world because it speeds up the gameplay a bit (I have not played P3/P3FES though);
- I like that the social sim side of the game is not that complex and doesn't have half the activities P5R has, because I felt very overwhelmed with P5R.

Can't think of anything else to say right now, gonna try to fuse all personas and finish Elizabeth's quests and her sister's challenges.
