This JRPG is hard. Those that say you just need to be prepared apparently have played 77,777 harder JRPGs...Impossible.
~No saving points during Full Moon missions. So if you die, you have to go through the entire day again...events and all.
~It takes a while to get used to the pictures talking rather than having the actual in-game graphics doing the animations/talking, but at least the voice actors are amazing for the most part.
~You will come unprepared during boss fights. You will be one-shotted at least three times during your 70 hour quest.s
~Your training you've been doing for 70 hours will basically be laughed at the end of the game.
~The first six to nine months will mean little to you and the overall plot. It just adds a little here and there...and every so often, a plot twist. This is due to major events happening during Full Moons.
With all these complaints, there is a reason I gave this game a 9/10.
~Shoot yourself in the head and look cool doing it.
~Original ideas and concepts.
~Music is wonderful. If you hate it, go back to your usual music and let true music fanboys enjoy the sound of innovative music.
~The story does pick up towards the end of the game and fusing personas are addicting as they come.
~You'll be figuring out some of the "WTFs" at the beginning of the game after you play through it the first time...and it feels great knowing what's going on.
~The Final Boss remains to be the most challenging final boss I've faced and symbolizes the very trials you and the characters have faced and have come to endure.
