Yeah, I remember my first time through, I got to the end and still felt like I had no idea what I was doing. And then I wasn't even close to being able to defeat Saruin. You're "supposed" to learn the mechanics as you go by talking to those stupid adventure kids everywhere but even with their little tutorials, I still felt so lost. And yeah I think I played through Albert like 3 times before moving on lol. People who get really into the game play even beyond just clearing each character and have like 30+ clears save data apparently. I love the game but I don't know if I'll ever get to that point XD
You could always try starting out with another character next time and then if you end up going further and want to go back to Albert you can do that. You could also try Sif, since she and Albert share a little bit of their story, and it might be enough reminder. But there's hardly any real story to the main characters; basically the introduction sequence is different and then the rest of the game is pretty much the same. Albert probably has the best intro, though, as it's longer and more dramatic. Barbara's is best if you're just wanting to play the game as you just walk into a pub and watch a scene and her intro is over.
But yeah I get in this kind of trap with any game that isn't super short. I always want to start over from the beginning and redo everything I did before after not playing for a while. it's why I've never finsihed Persona 4. Even though I know how the story goes up to the furthest point I've gotten, I always end up just starting over which eventually leads to another burnout XD
