I'm about 45 minutes in so far. This seems great so far. It follows the source material almost exactly. I randomly replayed the first few hours of P3 FES a couple weeks back so I remember it all and this game is almost identical. It's extremely noticeable how much smoother this game is to play compared to the old version. When you get to the school they actually tell you what to do rather than vaguely saying "You should find what class you're in" then dumping you to figure out what that means on your own and the minimap makes finding things a lot simpler.
I was worried about how the music would end up but it seems pretty decent so far. It's different but still works. I was reserving judgement until I got to a section that had "When The Moon's Reaching Out Stars" (that name is still hilarious) because that was best song in the old game but the new version is good too.
I really like the intro cinematic.
There's a pride flag pin in the one of the intro anime scenes and a female student talks about how much she... admires... Mitsuru. The old director guy that seemed shitty is well and truly gone.
My first "Wait, what?!?" moment was... seeing that the hallways in the school are now all one area, which, why wouldn't they be? It's not a PS2 game. It just surprised me because I've played Persona 3 several times and that's how it's always been.
They fixed the scaling for the bed in the MC's dorm room. It no longer appears to be 12 feet long and 8 feet wide.
