This is an amazing game with a deep plot. It's better for mature teens who aren't disturbed by some frightening images (although many of these scenes have been removed from this version). The characters are fairly well developed for a video game which is very nice for a change. There are some dark topics such as the end of the world, but they also talk about developing close friendships and doing things for those you care about.

Amazing! it is a better remake of sin megami tensei persona 3 for the ps2. You can make social links which help you un battle . social links are connections made with a good friend. bad things are one of the characters shinjoro uses drugs and (spoiler alert) dies.;(

This game is deeply immersive and fun, though it'll take you a good 70+ hours to complete. The game has two main gameplay aspects: fighting your ways through monsters in a giant tower, and dating-sim-like social interactions. It switches between the two constantly, so neither gets particularly boring. The real treat in this game is the story, and how character interactions make you feel like you're a part of it. The story is well written (it could practically stand alone as an anime series), and I looked forward to advancing it as much as I look forward to watching my favorite TV shows. Additionally, there are roughly twenty "social links" in the game, which you level up from one to ten by getting to know and becoming friends with the person that the social link represents, which is done by picking choices for your character to respond with at various intervals. Each of these characters has a specific personality and often a tragic past, and it's a delight to play through each social link. (You can even choose a romantic interest from some of the characters.) The game's urban setting mixes well with its dark story into something that's entirely unique. The fighting is also fun, with each different character in your party and each of your own personae (which are... kind of like Pokemon, with the way you level them up) having different skills. Most of the game is left up to your choice, as you only have to fight and advance social links when you want to. Praise aside, the story can also quite disturbing and depressing, and some elements of the game definitely aren't intended for kids to see. To use magic, which you will do in every fight, the characters (including an elementary school student) raise guns to their heads and shoot themselves. Several important characters die throughout the story in very emotionally affecting ways, and an overall sense of darkness and unease hangs over the game's world. Overall, it's a real pleasure to fans of RPGs, anime, and thoughtful (albeit, dark) storytelling, but it might not be enjoyable for everyone.
