Normal/Hard

Normal

Normal.

Is hard that frustrating?

Go go for hard. Normal is so piss easy that I lost the will to play the game.

Not really, hard works too

hard is harder than merciless, because you get less EXP and Money. at least for the royal version.
but you deal less damage than in the vanilla version

Not really, but P5 wasn't my first Persona game.

Hard is fine if you're used to SMT-style rpgs, but Normal is probably better if not.
