Its like playing through a mediocre slice of life anime, the audience for that are weebs who wish they were Japanese. It isn't just a setting, the mechanical structure of the game is trying to emulate a Japanese high school students day to day life, the rewards are VN style romance interactions with school kids.

I'm just glad the core talent behind P3 and P4 also aged out of persona and went on to make metaphor which is closer to their SMT roots.
