I appreciate this review, but it's also totally alien to me. Not just Persona 5 itself, but the culture around it. The standard RPG? Worry not, I have not and will not compare every game to Persona 5. Totally unfamiliar to me! These games exist in my periphery.

That's probably why I liked this review. I see Persona mentioned so sparsely that almost all of my cultural osmosis comes from Super Smash Bros Ultimate (2018), and from The Hater's Review of Persona 5 (2025).
