* [[That One Level]]:
** Hello, Void Quest. It seems straightforward enough at first, but wait until it starts randomly changing your direction at every intersection. Plus, unlike the other dungeons, you have to find an item halfway through to proceed to the boss.
** The Hollow Forest. The idea of limiting players and upping the difficulty might have been a great idea, and ''Shin Megami Tensei'' fans were looking forward to the idea (the level was designed by the ''[[Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey]]'' staff, after all. However, in effect, the level is just tedious. Limiting players' SP just makes battles annoying and frustrating, and enemy levels are so low that even without using SP the fights aren't difficult, just annoying. Same with taking players' items. Taking away players hard earned items, both expendable and equippable is just irritating, turning items that are usually [[Boring, but Practical]] into precious rares (just leaving the dungeon to go to the Velvet Room requires the uncommon Sacred Branch). Throw in Marie's poems every time you go to a new floor, a visually repetitive design, and the fact players are stuck with default costumes (even though this is the first dungeon since several costume options are given to the players) and you have a dungeon that's just a pain.
* [[That One Sidequest]]: Margret's Social Link requires you to fuse Personas with specific abilities. Prepare to sink a ''lot'' of spending money into the Compendium, looking up the correct Arcana combinations, praying that the resulting Persona inherits the right moves, etc.
** Ai (The Moon) is the easiest Social Link character to piss off. One wrong move, and you can have a Reversed or even Broken Social Link. There is also the fact that as long as you don't ruin the Social Link, you can end up dating her only to break up with her or vice versa. This can cause problems either way: you could end up with her breaking up with you if you actually wanted her for a girlfriend, or you can end up with her sticking with you even when you were interested in someone else, which is fairly annoying if you don't want to be cheating.
