Also I can't believe I'm saying this about a persona 5 spinoff but p5t is actually... Surprisingly good? The character dynamics within the phantom thieves are much more fleshed out (which is something I always took issue with in the original game), the character screentime is a lot more balanced and mostly no flanderisation (aka yusuke gets to Do Things for once, makoto gets to Not Do Everything thank god, morgana is the most likeable he's ever been to me), the new characters are incredibly fun and executed very well especially for spinoff-only characters, the plot concepts are interesting, the sprites are very fun and expressive, like. idk I just didn't expect it to make up for some of my issues with the main game tbh!! a pleasant surprise for sure

#vi rambling #persona #I HAVENT PLAYED just watched a full playthrough but like. it took me by surprise #spoilers here:#ernesto's design is one of the better persona designs in recent games? giving p2 persona design vibes mixed w some p3 which is ALWAYS a win #toshiro and erina are GREAT. having a persona based on a human is like. something they havent done since p1 which im so down for.#in general their characters are great and not what i expected. i was scared of it being regressive but not at all #toshiro gets flamed constantly and the nuances of his faults are very clear and handled well!!#and well i always enjoy a soppy pathetic suited loser who learns to be self confident.#and they did the smart thing of giving all the thieves a spotlight by having each relate to the different episodes in toshiro's life which #is SO smart thank god. futaba got so much time here!! HARU!!! YUSUKE!!! RYUJI!!!#idk i just was scared of the dynamics being watered down and i arguably honestly got a lot more here than in the original game.#also morgana finally feels like his own character and not an mc voice replacement. hes really great in this one idk #anyways yeah im pleasantly surprised.#obviously there are the expected faults of like well. antags being v narrow mostly and the usual persona dialogue issues and stuff #but overall what a nice surprise
