Gonna be playing Death Stranding 2 tonight so may not return to Persona 2 posting for another day or two or until I finish Death Stranding 2, I'll see how I feel

Overall I think the game is pretty solid, great atmosphere and cool characters, encounter rate is pretty damn high and it's a bit annoying but can be beneficial, you just remember the demons personalities and then you can just talk to them for cards/items or flee instead of fighting. Battles are more of a choice and you don't feel as dragged down by encounters then. You grind some battles for XP and skills, you use some for items, you use some for cards. It's a decent flow changing up what commands you pick.

Music is really good. I like the graphics too, very high quality sprites and some fun animations. Grid battle system is actually better than I expected. The game really just needs an updated UI/control scheme to streamline all the commands you use a bit better. The amount of precise control you have with a simple menu can be nice for how many options the game presents you though.
