Is this worth picking up for 20 dollars?

I've only played Awakening, and I've never played a Persona game (which I guess shares some mechanics with this).

>some
it's literally SMT with FE stylings
what matters is how much weebshit you can stand, more than the gameplay.

It's nothing like Fire Emblem, it's essentially Persona with Fire Emblem characters.

Anyway, the gameplay is a lot of fun, I would recommend it.

The gameplay is closer to Persona, with some FE elements sprinkled in. For $20 - $30, it's definitely worth it, especially if you want a pretty indepth battle system with a light hearted story (good for a rainy day sort of play). Only downside is how long the sessions can last close to end game.

First playthrough should net you about 30 - 40 hours.

there's no dating sim, you can't really call it persona gameplay.
all the same it's basically a more obnoxious persona.

You'll have to pirate it to uncensor it anyway, so just pirate it now and try it out before you buy it

What is censored?

You can't dump the disk to apply the patch?

some bikinis and the like.

Censored, don't buy it

>Is this worth picking up for 20 dollars?

There is a better version available for free, so no.

You can, but why for? it´s easier to download a already patched version.

>But I want to support the devs!

The game is a flop, your purchase will not make a difference.

that's true

last I saw the process of dumping the disc, applying the patch, then reinstalling it took way longer than just getting it pre-patched. There's a new dumper though, so maybe that's changed

Isn't a whole dungeon/its story pretty much censored too? So it's not "just" costumes, I believe

Yeah, a chapter about gravure work was rewritten as some pointless issue about confidence for photo shoots.

most of the game is censored in some way, one of the characters is basically a lolicon in the original version, plus there's a whole chapter about gravure modeling that has been altered in the adaptation, character's ages, lines of dialogue, costumes etc.
The uncensor patch is pretty good

Do you like SMT/Persona gameplay? If yes then get it.

>one of the characters is basically a lolicon in the original version
Wait, they changed Barry in the localized version? That sucks.

they just made it more vague, like in the japanese one he pretends to forget his tissue so he can borrow the one from the little girl (I played it when it came out so I forgot some names) and smell it, in the adaptation he forgot his phone charger and the joke is that he's dumb and he forget things

>characters is basically a lolicon in the original version


Now you are pulling shit from your ass.

>in the adaptation he forgot his phone charger
Wow that's retarded.
No, he's right. He's obsessed with Mamori, what other explanation is there?

He still is, and much as annoying he gets, the localization don't change jackshit about it.

Apparently it does, in the uncensor patch I played he borrows her tissue but in the localized one he borrows her charger

The one thing I hate is the controlled character Itsuki. It feels like the developer want to make a normal character but went with him trying to be a self insert character like Link.

it is japanese idol faggotry, unrepent. where Final Fantasy and Persona are entry level JRPG weeb, SMT#FE is far on the spectrum of ONII CHAN UGUUU. dont buy it.

You sound like you slay at parties.
