I don't know that I'd classify it as "insane" - it was one of the more interesting narrative components of the game if only because it was unexpected, but it wasn't anything earth shattering...
I've heard it was dumbed down to help the game have a greater mass appeal instead of driving home an actual message in the way that FarCry 2 does about the long standing after effects of colonization.
It wasn't dumbed down just Atlus made costume changes. People who were never going to buy the game spread BS and got all upset esp over 1 part that is in the game as a side mission for all of 90 seconds. I mean it,90 seconds. The only real issue is Atlus did a crap job of trying to change it. Instead of making a new dress they just made her skin white to blend with the dress. Atlus localized the game and just made it have less titty. They also I think removed 1 side mission because it seemed pervy to a 16 year old girl I think. The main story is still the same. The core game is there and a damn fun and charming game overall. I liked it more than persona 5 and I loved Persona 5. Not saying better but it is a really good game. I normally couldn't care less about idol culture, something I know next to nothing about frankly. Just it has really fun characters, some fun side missions, and a fun story. Dungeons are better than any Persona dungeon to that point. Turn-based system is excellent. Really well done and I like the redesigned SMT enemies.
