The game is way better than I thought it was gonna be. I feel like it's way too overhated because of it's fanbase.
I like the characters, I find all of them enjoyable in some way. (Aside from Byakuya and Toko.) Kyoko, Hiro, Hina, Sakura, and Celestia are probably my favorite characters.
Sayaka is also cool, but also pretty forgettable from the rest. The other characters I could care less. (Aside from Chihiro who was cool) Also Junko was cool also.
The main issue I have with the game is that sometimes the gameplay and story drag on for way too long. Each trial is about and hour and a half long, and investigating gets kinda boring sometimes.
But overall, everything else is great. I like the design and music of the game, it's pretty unique.
I played the last 2 games and the spinoff. Yeah at times they get OVERLY edge-lordy and stupidly ridiculously philosophical at points, but I straight up had a good time. They have so much style and character, and I did want to know what was going to happen next (which was often unpredictable for me).
I did like a decent bit about V3, but V3's ending I like less and less as time goes on.
