take a deep breath, deep breath

I started the story mode in P4A. There is way more text than I was expecting, way less fighting, and about as much Captain Obvious repetition as there was in P4 (well, there is in Yu's route. Yukiko's and what I've done of Yosuke's weren't so bad).

( more under here; no spoilers )

It's OK, I guess? I mean the Rashomon thing is one of my catnips (I suppose it's not strictly Rashomon style, but there are some differences/some things don't exactly match up, and that's enough for me. Also I can't think of any other way to describe it). I'm just...not particularly enthused by it right now. (I still want to check out Ultimax, eventually, but that is because I have a friend who is obsessed with one of the characters... I hope it's a bit more interesting!)

(One thing I DO really like, is the way the characters change on the street on the main menu. And also that the music changes. And that when I loaded it for the first time it played me the dormitory music from the P3 soundtrack).

Oh well, am going to persist for the time being. At least having bought it cheap second-hand, I don't feel like I've wasted my money.
