What are you talking about? Servers rarely if ever get minimum wage, which federally is still 7.25, which is not enough to live off of. If they were making $23 in many places they'd be doing a lot better. But that's not the reality of the situation.
I didn't even know about this route! Sounds easy easier
Agreed, got very bored halfway through stories with how tedious everything was. Would probably be fun with friends but I couldn't even find online groups consistently.
My final loop was wild. I had everything in place to do it but was freaking out the whole time about the party which had screwed me over many times before. A crazy combination of luck and good timing on my part barely got me through it - incredibly satisfying.
I bought persona 5 royal after listening to the get played podcast rave about it. First playthrough took me about 85 hours, though I know some people it takes 100+ hours with all the extra royal content. It's a very big game with a lot of stuff!
Immediately jumped into p4 right after and it has really great social links and combat, although generated dungeons are not nearly as fun imo and definitely grindy.
If you like RPGs, any kind of relationship building content, or interesting stories, I think it will hook you. Not to mention the music is incredibly good and the design is very unique.
Have only just recently gotten into persona, but I'm very excited about being able to play 3 as well as 6.
Even when the gameplay is lacking the storylines and social connections more than make up for it!
I had zero interest in Alan wake until I played control. I will probably give it a go
The combat is the least interesting thing about the game. The world and story are really all of it!
