3 just didn't do it for me, melancholy is one thing, but, overall, it felt lifeless and bland, plus, compared to 4 and 5, I didn't care nearly as much as I did about the characters, the only characters I loved, that actually left a lasting impression on me, was Junpei and Chidori. The evoker thing was just stupid to me, it had me thinking, "Okay...they're trying WAY too hard." Plus, I just hated the ending.

the entire game just felt boring, lifeless, manipulative, contrived...



In the end, it didn't do much for me.



5 for me is the best because it has plenty of stuff going on that does let it get bogged down by any boring or depressing moments. Everything I feel when playing this game feels genuine and I don't feel like I'm being forced to feel what I do.
