Also I think it says a lot to the quality of the game tbh. Like bro, I fucking hate Persona. I hate it so much. I played P3P for 33+ hours and dropped it, played P4G on Vita for 10+ hours and dropped it, I have no love or respect for that series. Currently 60 hours into Metaphor.

This is probably the highest endorsement I could read because I've had the same experience with persona lol

so far i've been enjoying the demo and i hate persona games, i am gonna hate reaching the end of the demo though, i cant justify spending 70 in my current state

I have some gripes with it, kinda annoyed that they nerfed status effects as much as they did, being able to do statuses to bosses is like the one cool thing Persona/SMT keeps around vs other RPG's, but it's such a wild improvement in every other way. The pacing is also light-years better.
