A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Persona 3 Dancing in Moonlight / Persona 4 Dancing All-Night
I haven't played much of P3D before so now that I have some fresh experience with both it and P4D I can safely say the latter is a better game - whether in terms of gameplay, beatmaps or soundtrack, P3D feels a bit less "inspired", I guess. It's kinda unfortunate as P3 is my favourite game in the series (I haven't played 1 or 2 yet) but whatever, the important part is to have fun.I'm slowly getting back in the groove. No full perfects yet but full combos are back on the menu and that's exactly what I aim for.
Persona 3 Portable
Playing both dancing games made me go back to my unfinished pink playthrough of P3P. I haven't touched it since... last year (I think?) due to mind goblins messing with my focus when playing RPGs at the time but I still want to see how things play out from the alternative perspective.I don't have much to write about this one at the moment as I'm still in the early parts (just got Akihiko a few in-game days prior) but I have to drop a hot take nonetheless - I really wish these games had no time limit. I understand why it's there and that it's important from the narrative perspective but it's a mechanic I never really enjoyed in games (Persona or otherwise). Now that I got to experience a Persona title without one (P5X gacha), it made these feelings even stronger.
At least I'm playing on the easy mode (NG+) so I can skip most of the grind and focus on what I'm interested in (social elements). I'm really curious about the new stuff.
