Missables and 100% Expectations

Overview

The game requires you to have two playthroughs which can be annoying given that a NG+ run doesn’t bring much to the table. You would not need to do a full second playthrough if you have cleared most of the achievements on the 1st one since there is really only one achievement [Closing the Book] that requires the NG+ run Though, Some achievements are easier to do with two playthroughs because the game allows you to carry over certain progression like classes and items towards a NG+ run. The game has a fair amount of missables which you may need to keep an eye on. Personally, if you are planning to go for a 100%, it’s best to just do a complete blind playthrough on the 1st and then do 2nd playthrough for cleanup.

Review

If you are a huge fan of the persona games and JRPG’s , this is a must play. The game has deep RPG mechanics, an engaging storyline, banger of a soundtrack, fun and compelling characters. The 100% completion experience is a bit less thought out and NG+ is lackluster but is definitely worth it to do or at least try to max out your follower ranks as they have interesting side stories and effect to gameplay.

Base Score: 9.5/10
