I was never much of a Persona player myself, but I know plenty of them and a great many who started off with Persona 3 and still hold it up as one of the best entries in the series. So I'm sure they'll be pleased by this new arrival.
Be sure to keep an eye out for Makoto Yuki as part of the latest Most Wanted Phantom Thief Contract: When Moon Reaches Stars, running from now until June 25th. Not to mention a login bonus available until June 4th and anniversary special events until the 1st.
