You don't actually get into the plot until half way through the game.
i really dislike persona 3 xD
there are only a few characters that I didn't want to punch in the face
and the plot is slow and the grinding is so AUGH.
and ******** hama/mudo spells (but I bashed that over the head already)
the only save grace of that game was the soundtrack
sorry i felt like ranting at you emo
Ahh, yeah, there are like tiny hints so far I'm like 'so basically I grind love and attention until it's happy with me?' T__T;; I don't mind dating sim style stuff, but the amalgamation between turn based combat and dating sim is a little hard to get motivated for. Its like mixing dinner with desert. Sure I like roast chicken followed by pudding, but I don't realllly want roast chicken mashed into my pudding on my plate.
I don't mind the characters so much in this, I think its because I can imagine that the MC is playing to the raging yaoi fuel in my head and flirting with the boys, and I do like Iori and Akihiko so far. Yukari is... tolerable... so far. The characters in the first one I *really* didn't like.
I think I'm just bred on the FF universe, which in comparison to disgea and persona, get into the point a lot faster. The idea of 100 hours of gameplay is not for me.
So far; I like the combat, and I'm swinging into things a bit, but I'm likely to get frustrated with trying to please all the NPCs. This one chick wants me to be in the student council, but that takes time away from kendo practice with handsome men and my afternoons going to ramen joint to chat up my future uke-in-law. I cannot make them all happy; and I can't be watching to see if the girl is lying on a couch every day to know if we're going to the tower place. Why can't she use a phone and be like 'hey, lets go stay up late and fight monsters, because I'm secretly hoping you'll turn straight for me or the other girl' then I can be like 'but Kenji and I are going to sing karaoke and I'mma get him drunk and take his desire to ask innane questions about my relationship to random Yukari away from him.'
