YEAH!! WE DID IT!!
Thank you all for keeping up with my playthrough/let's play. Honestly, I could have had a much easier time if I used a guide to back me up, but that's how we roll in here. WE GO IN DARK! I finished the game in 66-70 hours (grind included) with minimal assistance using the most BAREBONES Persona roster so that alone tells you the game is not TOO difficult. Would I recommend this game to someone? Uhm, it really depends, but I'm leaning towards "yes", especially if they played Innocent Sin. Eternal Punishment definitely has its ups and downs. I think it does have a great story in regards to Tatsuya's "sin" and picking up where we left off in Innocent Sin. I have not played Innocent Sin for the PSX so I cannot compare the mechanics to it, but I have played the PSP remake. The audio was good as always lol. Gameplay-wise....I won't discuss the good parts because the game is generally good, more good than bad! I just listed the little things which irked me playing this game.

★ NO MINI-MAP
I complain about it so much, I know, but what can I do??? I like to know where I am navigating towards. Playing this game, you'll end up developing this habit of pressing the map menu every 10 seconds.

★ DON'T KNOW WHO'S TURN IS NEXT???
This is a minor thing and it's probably in the game, but I have no idea where it is. It should be in the open, or like in P5 I can press a button and it will tell me that it's Katsuya's turn or something. It helps coordinate attacks, instead of going in blind and praying that its your turn to heal and not get f---ed.

★ RANDOM ENCOUNTER
Okay, I know Estoma pushes the low level trash mobs away from you but the higher level monsters that go through are rubbish. I was expecting some hard challenge but those monsters are RARE (chest monsters, for example)

★ STATS / STATUS
I can't tell what unique spells do such as that Wheel of Time/Wheel of Fortune nonsense. Am I getting debuffed? There's gotta be some remedy for this.

You probably have noticed some other little things which I may have not mentioned so feel free to comment and let me know what they are. If ATLUS ever wants to bring Persona 1 and Persona 2 into the spotlight as a remake, for the PS4/PS5 or whatever console release, they need some Quality-of-Life updates to the game mechanics (edit: Eternal Punishment PSP has corrected most of my critiques mentioned above, so if you understand Japanese, you should just play that instead). Take a look at the big brothers P3, P4 and P5. Social life is a big part of the game which is obviously missing in P1 and P2, but I am not too picky there. HOWEVER! I find that the front-line grind in P3-P5 is not too stale or brain-numbing (monsters are not random encounter and I don't find myself having to grind for days on my first run without guides).

Thank you if you read this far down into the description, you're awesome. This game was an overall great journey. That's one more for the books. KATSUYA FTW!!
