The team behind the Persona series keeps one-upping themselves with every entry. This might be their best game yet, though I know that is very subjective.

Obviously they have the very strong points of story and characters, with just pitch-perfect writing and voice-acting, the emotional points hit hard and I grew to really enjoy each of the characters.

Even after it was over and I played through the epilogue, I wished so much that there was more game and I could spend more time in this world.

The gameplay hybridized a bit between Persona and a traditional SMT (Digital Devil Saga) where they ditch the demon recruitment and ease up on requirements for social rank upgrades (no need to spend extra time with them, just unlock the next rank when you have the opportunity).

I've actually recommended this game to a few friends who have trouble getting into the Persona games because of the lightening on the social requirements and whatnot, as well as the change of scenery to being high fantasy.

But yeah, this game isn't perfect, but it's pretty damn close. Any issues I had are incredibly minor and I got over pretty quickly. I didn't go into the launch of this game expecting much or to play it at launch, but that demo put me over the edge and I do not regret getting into it right away.
