Edit: Heard that when Deshito servers go down you can't play this game.

Bootlickers deserved that.

The bad
1. Story is mediocre, just a bunch of angsty teenagers against the "system" of rotten adults. You can do the same on FF7 but instead of rotten adults, it's a rotten corporation just like any black company in Japan.
2. Characters are shallower than a kid pool, used by the stereotypes such as Ann's sex appeal, Futaba awkwardness and Yosuke's abuse.
3. Tries to be serious but fails, even the scene in February is not taken serious enough.
4. Censorship GALORE. They removed the Raidou DLC, changed the Almighty Icon and even Ryuji's shoes, just to appease some Korean law or something. It HAS to be fixed with mods because SEGA/Atlus will do NOTHING.
5. THEY. REMOVED. THE. JOJO. REFERENCE! That IS unforgivable!
6. It's a cringefest with rare good moments, but not until the end of the game.

The Ugly
1. It has DENUVO, a known virus disguised as DRM which calls home when it can and you never know what kind of data is transfered to Irdeto's servers.
2. Its fanbase is one of the most toxic, yes even more than Nintendo's.
3. The publisher forgot which country saved them from going bankrupt.
4. Have a RTX3060ti, game STILL hiccups and the All Out Attack "Anti-seizure" filter is NOT WELCOME, at least give something to TOGGLE it. Loading lags out A LOT.
5. Game sold so poorly (only about 200k copies) that they had to slap a 30% discount just to have people buying the game again.

Saving graces
1. Combat is good.
2. Music is good.
3. Still a good escapism from Brazil.

Any clown rewards (and hilarious for that matter) means triggered Atlus/SEGA bootlickers.

Fun fact: Did you know that clicking the "Funny" review button counts as the same as the upvote, and rewards boost the review to the top of the list?

Currently triggered 4 bootlickers into boosting this review :D

Now that I can post here...

I agree with you that Persona 5 is highly overrated, like almost every JRPG, but why so salty?
