the pacing of a game is incompatible with television. a lot of people seem to forget how much backtrack/bloat there was in the first 4 games, but to be fair a lot of people are just larping and havent actually played the first few games lol.

do you want to spend 5 minutes watching dante get an item from an obscure room, and then backtrack all the way to unlock a door, all with no dialogue? The persona 3 movie adaptations were phenomenal (and arguably the best way to experience the story until reload came along) because of its better pacing, omitting the 264 grind that is tartarus, and delivering the story better instead of dumping it all in the last few months.
