Does the story get better...?

[Sogreth]

I'm waiting for the "legal action" after recruiting the 5th character, and I'm wondering if the game gets better.

I feel like I'm not as invested into 5 that I was for 4. I was super excited to get into Persona 4 and play it, but 5 feels almost like a chore, and I'm not that excited to progress the story.

Does something change that will make it more interesting?

I suppose you feel like the result of the "legal action" will be the same as your "expulsion"? The outcome of the changes of hearts themselves might feel repetitive and underwhelming, but the story will develop gradually right after. Otherwise things do change at one point: it's not instantaneous but you'll definitely notice it.

Try playing a little after the "legal action" and see how you feel about it. If you feel underwhelmed by how the story's unfolded in the next week or two, I worry it will come across as a drag for a while, so you might wanna consider putting it off.

The peak dungeons are the first and the last so yeah I can see someone thinking the middle act is a chore. Keep going and get confidants to maximum level (GET MARUKI TO LEVEL 10!).

If you aren´t playing on Hard you can skip a bit of the grinding in Mementos. If you don´t like Mementos then don´t bother with Persona 3. EVER. Tartarus is ASS

The game might just not be for you. Its a heavily Twin Peaks inspired story and with Lynch you either love his stuff or it just doesnt appeal to you.

Define better?

Cause after dungeon 5, it definitely starts moving forward faster but thats also where the plot kind of goes into a different direction. Some people really love where a certain character goes, while others think it comes out of nowhere.

Dungeon 1-4 is pretty good, 5 is a mess and the worst part of the story easily, 6-8 are ok or questionable, 9 is Royal.

No.

It's just odd. I loved 4 throughout the whole game. I was excited to progress the story. 5? I don't get that same feeling, and I'm quickly getting bored of it.

Maybe 5 just isn't for you.

4 does the characters better, and since the dungeons are themed around the characters they get even more focus.

5 is less characters and more about keeping the story going. So you dont get as much good character insight as you do in 4 (outside of Futaba since her palace is all about her).

4 is also arguably better written? There is no "Palace 5 Morgana/Ryuji moment", and Adachi is a much better as a villain than original 5's villain.

Still think its worth playing through 5, but you wont get the same attachment to the characters and the story is a little messy.

I would argue that Adachi (won´t censor since you didn´t - and you should you dummy) is better than Shido and Yaldabaoth but M***** and A***** are equal or better than adachi and the goddess.

Like I said, the game peaks on the first and last palace.
