Completely wet the bed with this remake! It feels like a shell of what it was they stripped away everything that made this game fun.. this is basically a reskinned persona 5 with a 3 storyline. There is no difficulty to this game at all, I am playing on the hardest difficulty and finding no resistance at all.. the enemy A.I. is a joke! The luck and chance of the card draw is removed by eliminating the shuffle resulting in complaitincy of picking which card you want. The quests give you no sense of urgency due to the removal of quests deadlines not to mention they tell you where to go to find the quest item where before you would have the satisfaction of following hints and searching for said items. The removal of the characters status (poor, good, great, tired.) Eliminates the importance of visiting Tartarus and time management due to the fact that you could visit Tartarus one time clear a whole block in one day then fight a full moon boss. Social links were made sooo easy to achieve that it makes them nearly irrelevant to the game, might as well just remove that aspect of the game all together. Weapons, in the original as the main character could choose which weapon you would like to use similar to you being able to use many different persona but now that gone and you are railroaded into using the short sword which I know isn't a huge blow to the game but that's aspect of the game allow more customizations of the character and I personally prefered the longsword. I could go on and on about other changes that have just stripped away the amazing gameplay of the original but it's becoming tiresome to bash a game I use to love so much.
