No problem, I never had the slightest desire to play it anyway.

it wouldn't be as bad if the story and dialogue weren't written by a 5th grader

It's is an argument. You mentioned common traits for jrpgs and acting like WTF JUST HAPPENED.

The "unskippable cutscenes" you're referring to are literally all people play the persona series for. They're a VN first and foremost.

>things can't change over time

the only reason there's bloated writing every 10 steps is because the game would be way shorter otherwise, and it would reveal the barebones gameplay.

If you want to play it only for the palaces Persona is not your game.

P4 had all of those things

Just play Shin Megami Tensei, the two games basically serve as polar opposites. In SMT the story takes a backseat and the whole thing is a dungeon crawling JRPG.

Bit autistic of you to not understand that not all games have to be exactly the same, but this is /v/ after all.

The phone conversations are pretty stupid. Aside from the Medjed-related ones they never really add anything interesting and are just daily recaps.

They really should add the option to fully skip instead of just fast foward, for NG+ purposes.
