After beating this, why is Persona so shit in comparison?

How is Deep Journey compared to original? I haven't played either yet.

Its not all waifubait but it is a VN with very lite dungeon crawler. Its about being a highschool student and encountering some paranormal events.
With that said SJR doesnt really have a deep combat system. Its kindof a dumbed down version of the turn press system and the persona games have a deeper combat mechanic than SJR.

It has some cheat options and easier difficulty modes
It adds a couple endings which are all pretty good
It adds a new dungeon which is decent but hard as fuck to get through
It adds a new character that sucks dick but everyone just tells her to fuck off pretty much and then she dies
They changed everyone's character portraits for the worse

>never played the game: the post

how so

probably the worst bait i've seen in my entire life

Not just Persona, the rest of the Megaten series in general.
Nothing has yet to even come close to how good Strange Journey is.

pretty much the whole game, look at the cast and their interactions
it isn't that hard once you look for it. the point it really sunk in was the only person to make a sexual comment about zelinin's new outfit was a woman

I got bored and quit during the introduction about how the human race went extinct.

The entire game is the devs loudly whining at the player about human excess, consumerism, hurting the environment, etc and to demonstrate this the game has no meaningful setting and just randomly throws you in magical garbage dumps and malls and war zones to beat you over the head with its message. The demon negotiations also play out like groveling simulators where you're lectured about all of thi.

Most insufferable writing I've sat through in a jrpg.
