I'm a little ways in and so far I like it a lot better than Persona 1. I am actually interested in the plot! One thing I do not like about Persona 1 and Persona 2 is that every single goddamn place is a maze. This is also true of the Persona 3 and 4 dungeons, but it was relevant to the plot, they were much less obnoxious, and the whole high school simulator aspect gives you a break here and there. As I'm playing I'm just like, "well yeah generic dungeon maze thing nothing out of the ordinary here" but then I go into the record store and god damn it why is this place a demon infested five story maze?! I just wanted to buy some CDs and talk to the radio DJs! Oh okay they're escorting one of my party members to the concert ground at the park? Oh I see it on my map, it is just a few feet away from the park that should be a shor--WHY IS THE PARK A MAZE AND WHY DO THESE SEWER GRATES BURN ME. I DO NOT RECALL A RUMOR ABOUT HOW THE PARK WAS LAVA AND REALLY DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE. I mean seriously, why make me go through a two hour maze for a two minute cutscene that is not especially awesome and no boss fight?!
