4 is unique to me out of the Persona games because it doesn't have any characters in it I actively despise. Yosuke can be really annoying sometimes and Yukiko is boring, but nobody approaches people like Ken or Yukari in P3, and while 5's cast is overall really good too they have characterization issues that keep cropping up now and again and driving me crazy. Especially in the middle of the game.

4's biggest failing is the expository dialogue writing. The people who wrote that game's script are really big on giving you frequent encapsulations on story progress, and it always makes it feel like characters are figuring obvious story stuff out hours after the players do. There's a part after the Yukiko dungeon in 4 that I always think about when it comes to this where it seems like Yosuke just wraps his head around the concept of the tv world that Teddie has explained to all of you thirty thousand times at that point and it just makes you roll your eyes
