The quests are a waste of time as they don't actually develop the characters in anyway. Fusions are also pointless since you only need to use Izanagi and can Cleave everything that stands in your way. All that's left is the story which means I should watch the Anime. 26 hours in and it's getting pretty meh.
The anime came out before Golden so you'd be missing a lot of stuff that was added. They anime also wrecks a few character's personalities, but especially the MC, who they made a total asshole for some reason.
Oh yeah, the game has some really dumb quests, that's for sure. As you get further into the dungeons you will need some better Personas to help you out. I'm not sure if this is your style, but Persona games have a lot of character interaction segments and scenes you'll just be sitting and watching. These are actually a lot funnier to see in game and some were not carried over to the anime.
These games are not everyone's cup of tea, so it would be hard to say if you're going to start having fun or not.
On a side note, Devil Summoner is coming to the PSN pretty soon. I highly recommend that game, especially to SMT newbies. The game is a ton of fun even thought it's nowhere near as difficult as others in the franchise, plus it's very lighthearted.
