That said, first impressions of the characters are... I dunno.

Kanji is the best character in the game. Nanako and Dojima will really start to grow on you once you start their social links, especially Dojima. My only real complaint against Nanako is they can't seem to decide her age. Chie is pretty great. The other characters are mostly "Your Mileage May Vary" kinda deals. You'll probably find characters and social links you really like, but won't really care about the others as much. <3 Adachi

Combat is as good as ever, but there's a gripe with that one, too. What the FUCK is with having to figure out enemy weaknesses on my own!? P3 had someone take a minute to conveniently analyze it and tell me and the party what made the beasties fall down, but in the one, all they say is what I already know. That means I might have to face an enemy multiple times to know what actually works on it.

I like this. Means you have to be more careful until you figure the enemies out. Can't use a superpowered fuck you physical attack right from the getgo because it might reflect and kill you. Still nicer than Nocturne. Analyze is a skill in Nocturne which means it takes a space, takes one of your MC's turns to use, and doesn't carry over from battle to battle, so you just have to remember stuff. Nocturne was ballin' hard.
It's especially nice since the game is far more forgiving with the whole weakness extra turn thing than Persona 3 was, and Persona 3 was leagues nicer than Nocturne. I find it balances out how much nicer the game is being to you. Plus you can control your teammates so yeah.

They also seem to have removed physical damage types from the equation, but I can't really comment on whether that's actually a good thing, given that the MC is locked into one weapon type. It's not necessarily a step back, but it does seem odd.

I think it balances things out, since physical attacks are the only ones that can crit. Besides, anything not a sword in P3 was pretty useless for starting random encounters, so I'm not really missing the other weapons.
Be less terrible at it. :P
