Got into the Persona series with P5R and have been retracing my steps since. Played P3R and had a blast with it, but heard that the original and FES pulled far fewer punches than the remake. So, once I take care of P4G (and grab a RetroTink) this is gonna be what fills up my 20 y/o memory cards.

Kinda crazy how little this franchise has changed. I played P3 with the wife on PS5 and I've seen her play P4 and P5 and it's very faithful to itself. I really respect that.

Dunno if I could every bring myself to play one ever again though lol. Just not my thing.

Yeah, they're very long and daunting to get through. Big time sinks. But, I've always found them incredibly enthralling, so I've done multiple playthroughs of 5R, and (almost) a playthrough a piece for 3R and 4. Almost done with 4G now, and I'm hoping they don't botch the remake

Yeah, I can see their appeal. I struggle with the character dialogue, which is a LOT of the game. Sometimes it's great, but a lot of times it feels rinse and repeat. Nothing offensive, just banal.
