Yeah, the intro is too long, but apparently the HD remaster makes it skippable.
My issue with the gameplay is two-fold: (1) I don't typically enjoy the Zelda-like, semi-open-world discovery, and (2) for a Kamiya game, combat is surprisingly too easy?
I'll probably have moderate amount of fun playing it, but I don't predict I'll hang out for the 100% after, which's why I'll wait for the historical low.
SMTV selling +2m is big.
I would've loved to see P4AU numbers after the botched PC port. I bet it still sold OK.
