Reasons why this game is my favorite ever!

Theme Representation is awesome!

This is the kind of game that will change your life. Carpe Diem is a phrase repeated throughout the game and means "seize the day" in latin. Not only can the themes hammered into your brain throughout the game apply to life but are masterfully represented in social links, the overall story, and the bad guys! Not only are the villains motives and themes easy to follow but I'm sure we've all met people like strega and can find a relatable experience here with this game making it much more than simply sitting down and playing an RPG.

Music is also equally awesome!

I have never, ever, played a game where the intro track by itself is part of a larger song with such a profound message. The intro is like one verse of a 3 1/2 verse song with unique lyrics throughout the whole thing. As someone who is very familiar with music, this is a feat that did not need to happen but it did and it shows a series that knows its music can be really good and can expand beyond the game it is apart of. Only series like Ace Attorney and Monster Hunter have taken these kinds of steps and makes Persona 3 Reload very unique.

The Play Time

This is worth it even if you paid $100! Now I am familiar with the controversy surrounding this game but I assure you that if you got or get any version of the game that this is a 110+ hour game and you will get your values worth if you play it with a guide and it highly recommended that you do! Most games don't even come close to this and the fact that almost all lines spoken in the game are voice acted just allow you to escape from reality almost like reading that one book you really love.

Gave us what we want with the standard version!

The expansion pass is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and I do agree that the foul odor of SEGA stinks all over that poor decision but the FEMC not being included is not entirely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ because I am pretty sure Shinjiro doesn't die as well as other things like male social links that would of made the already difficult seeming game development even harder, especially for the voice actors . So as I am now more informed, I think that they accomplished bringing a great story to a wider audience while not overstepping it with trivialities like having to know spoilers in advance to get the "better story". With episode Aigis I am thinking of just watching a play through of it because I am really just there for the story. Don't support SEGA support Atlus for bringing us what we want and just get the standard version of the game!

My only complaint!

The old social links man... a weirdo wrote them and it is so hard to ignore especially with the hanged man social link. That man needs to go to jail :(. Many social links were kind of boring too and would go nowhere, later games would go and create characters that actually have a life instead of eating a lot or putting their ability to walk at stake because of track. Otherwise I think the linked episodes are nice touch and add a breathe of fresh air to the game. We needed a Chidori social link and we didn't get it :( 0/10. Kidding lol...

Anyways... my favorite game ever! 10/10
