Only up to Rise so far (bought Day 1 but the world clearly didnt want me playing it) but I'm really enjoying the new additions so far. I wouldnt say they're critical but they make for a much "fuller" experience. It's been a while since I played P4 so maybe I've just forgotten but Kanji's sexuality seems a lot less ambiguous in this, from what I recalled in P4 his sexuality was sort of up in the air, whereas it seems a lot clearer in this one that his issues are around traditional gender roles and that he's largely hetrosexual (possibly bi-curious though that seems to be either played for laughs/excessive bromance stuff). The bike related events have been good so far, making Dojima feel a bit less of a 2-dimensional dick and the "great date plan" was pretty amusing. Looking forward to seeing the rest of it.
