A far better option than any Persona and a great new effort. However, playing this after FF7 Rebirth really makes the game feel weak in many aspects: Very fragmented worlds, time limits, a tottaly uninteresting main character, lower scale and scope, repetitive social interaction, dated visuals.
On the great side:
Atlus makes a masterpiece with all the knowledge gained from making the Persona series.
Game of the year for me! Beautiful game in many ways from the visuals to gameplay loop, music, voice acting and story. Definitely got the best aspects from the other Atlus games. Highly recommended for turn-based RPG fans.
Its perfect pacing, lots of fun and enjoyable combat make this the perfect experience for the cold months ahead.
Probably one the best turn base JRPG that ever released.
Gameplay is the next evolution and better of the Persona series.
The game suffers a bit from its technic but the art directopn makes up for it.
just rolled credits on Nov 5th....IYKYK!!!! i just love this game. i cant recommend enough. i love the Persona series but im 45 now and this game brought me so many great emotions. thats why we play right!!!!
A 35th anniversary gift from Atlus, they bravely stepped out of their comfort zone to explore new genres. Superb music, a compelling and up-and-down story, unique art style and impressive enemy design, the overall rhythm of the game and charming characters together to build this immersive fantasy world, a new
Would definitely recommend this game to anyone who is into a fantasy oriented world and the combat is just fire!.
Pros: Engaging combat mixing the best elements from Persona & Shin Megami Tensei, Great voice acting that doesn’t make you cringe (mostly), Story with fantastic writing & pacing, Unique music pieces mixed with familiar ones Cons: Some optional dungeons are repetitive, Unnecessary walls of text at some moments
A Fantastic entrance to the Persona/Shin Megami Tensei series. You can feel the love every single developper has putted into this project, in every aspect.
The writing is more than decent, the music from Shoji Meguro is -again- fantastic, the art direction is feeling really good, and the gameplay is
My game of the year for 2024. Feels like it takes the best aspects of all Atlus games and puts it all together in a masterpiece. Only thing that holds it back at all is weird performance on PC but on PS5 I am totally over the moon!
Pros: Interesting plot, Charismatic characters, Great music, The combat system is more interesting than in Persona, Unusual art design, Lots of interesting activities Cons: Outdated graphics
The story, combat, characters, and music demand your attention. It seeps into your soul on many levels and provides your brain with many points to ponder.
Pros: Great story, Great characters, Fun combat Cons: Drags on a bit, Graphically painful to look at
