Will I enjoy this game if I like Catherine Full Body?
I never play a Persona game before. I like the multiple ending story and character interaction in Catherine. Are they similar?

Besides being published by ATLUS and having an emphasis on societal themes and relationships (Including multiple endings), they really don't have much in common

So in the end, you'll enjoy it if you can get to grips with the RPG gameplay and the time management

Haven't played Catherine, but I don't think its a turn-based JRPG, so that would be the biggest difference. There aren't really multiple endings (technically there are, but in a 'this is the bad ending', 'this is the true ending' kind of way). There is quite a bit of character interaction and development though.

The social stuff and themes are similar but the gameplay is definitely not. It'll all feel familiar like how sprite and coke are both sodas but they're different in taste.

If you thoroughly enjoyed Catherine though, you'd most likely like any Persona game.

Sorta. You'll enjoy it because it's one of the best games ever made.

If you like JRPGs AND anime, yes. If not, give it a pass. It is a solid game, but doesn't do anything to step beyond being an extremely anime JRPG. That and have a good amount of time to burn on it. It is also on GamePass, if you would like to try it without paying full price, it was the only reason I played it. I enjoyed it, but wouldn't have bought it.

The characters here are likeable for the most part. The main characters in Catherine are awful, your friends are alright.
Of course this is subjective.
Anither thing. Cathrine is a 10h game and P5 over 100h. Keep that in mind.

If you play because characters interactions and story, then you should be mostly safe. Persona has easy difficulty if you are not very good with RPGs or if you just don't waste time on turn-based combat.

They are quite different, but give it a try still. I never played any persona game and had 0 expectation, but I was absolutely blown away and it's now my favourite game of all time.

Well the story is quite poor and less mature than Catherine's but you get it if you like this type of JRPG

Less mature than Cathrine? There is nothing mature about it. Only the characters are older but they act like spoiled children.
