    Looking forward to it. I wasn't a huge fan of Persona, but this looks interesting. Suggestion: tag for "persona.5" should be changed to "similar.persona" or "similar.persona.5".

    Been playing this and it’s been amazing!! So extravagant, love all of the flourish and style throughout everything - not just the UI, which is obviously jaw dropping, but animations, worldbuilding, character designs, and more. It really seems to be suffused with a creative energy and passion, with an imprint of every hand that touched the process at some point.

    The demo is quite generous, and even just two hours in with only a paltry amount of mechanical systems revealed, it’s a rich and exciting turn-based RPG. Can’t wait for the full release!

    Too bad it runs like crap on the deck, which is surprising given the graphics. Hopefully they optimize it later. I really like the idea of Persona and the music, but just don’t enjoy the gameplay...

    I really like the idea of Persona and the music, but just don’t enjoy the gameplay loop. Maybe this will be more interesting for me. That said I pretty much always will wait for a sale.

      Huh, I haven’t had any issues with my Steam Deck performance! What about the gameplay loop of Persona don’t you like? It does look like it has a lot of similarities so far, but I have heard that...

      What about the gameplay loop of Persona don’t you like? It does look like it has a lot of similarities so far, but I have heard that e.g. it doesn’t have actual romances. It does seem to me that it’ll have equivalents to Social Links, a calendar system, etc…
