don't get me wrong. persona 2 is definitely not misery porn. its just that, well, without spoiling too much you don't get to sigma grindset your way out of a world where the history channel exists.
well, what do i know i think the social link thing started with persona 3. which i also didn't play :edgeworth-shrug:
i won't judge people for indulging themselves with 'east asian isekai/time travel success at life porn' since i'd be lying if i pretended to be above that sort of thing. but my impression is that persona 2 is old enough where the people you play as just have the informed trait of being cool. its not a game built from its foundations as a way of saying, look at this person, he's you, he's so cool and here's all the things you can do / people you can be friends with if only you were cool and stuff. the latter is more depressing when you think about it.
you should try persona 2. nobody is happy in those games. clearly the superior persona.
