The general sentiment among players is about the game's balance of familiar Persona 5 elements with its gacha-based nature. The Persona art style and music are appreciated, harkening back to what fans loved in the original Persona 5. However, there is significant criticism of the gacha mechanics and poor PC optimization, especially in terms of UI and controls. The lack of English voice acting is also a major disappointment. The familiarity with Persona 5 is seen as both a boon and a rehash by different players, creating a tension between new and repetitive experiences.
