New to Persona. The highs imo are:
Incredible Japanese culture
Lovable characters
Unique and intriguing storyline
Hundreds of personas to fuse
100+ hours of gaming
The lows imo are:
Generic uninteresting palaces
Holes in storyline, either doesn't make sense or irrelevant
Balance of Palace difficulty is out, fluctuates from very easy to excruciatingly difficult
Enemy is generally to easy
Passed level 50 becomes very easy and monotonous
Conversation choices are sometimes too similar, meaning there doesn't seem like any difference in what you choose
Persona fusing system seemed incredibly complicated (for me, anyway)
Spent a HUGE amount of time, cleaning, studying and making coffee/curry.
Kept thinking FFVII. P5, for me doesn't live up to the FF games. I would say P5 is really for teenagers, and me being nearly 50 thought P5 could have been so much better.
