It's cool whenever someone tells you they're starting Persona 5 you can automatically plot out the entire curve of their experience over the next 100 hours.

if it helps, the third semester in royal has an actually interesting antagonist who is an actual person with actual motivations and wants, and the game sorta acts like the fake igor battle never happened

When I say they could've just dumpstered the finale to the original and replaced it with Royal's I'm not kidding

There's like one boss fight between you and the start of the Royal stuff at this point if you're wondering


wait actually given your feelings about akechi earlier maybe you should just skip it because he's incredibly central to the third semester's plot

I think P5 starts out so good and intriguing which is why I was so surprised that people were telling me not to play it/play p4 instead. It is like a perfectly crafted slide into poo poo and you don’t realise it until you’re neck deep.

It's almost a shame it starts so well, lol. Kamoshida is such a good hateable villain. The lil tutorial dungeon turned out to be the most interesting. A drat shame.

I thought futabas was the last good one. Harus sucked rear end. Honestly I still like P5 but compared to P3 and P4, it's just not as good. The gameplay qol stuff and music and visuals kick rear end but the story really falls off. That said I still like the characters and think it could have been so much better

Yup. It's a good game mechanically, has great music, cool style etc. but there's no substance to it at all

this is pretty much how i feel. the moment to moment gameplay stuff is really good and the mechanical changes are great but the story just isn't there. i still like some of the endgame stuff and the first 20 hours are fuckin incredible but they just couldn't keep it up

I'm excited for the next Persona game because it's going to have a new director. Hashino's moving on to make a medieval RPG instead because he did all he wanted to with Persona (and I think was probably completely out of ideas), probably overdue really

the reason I like Royal so much better is probably that a different person directed the new Royal content and it shows

The transition to the card-based combat in Re:Chain of Memories was a bit jarring at first (I knew it was a remaster of the GBA game but I didn't know they brought the entire system over) but once you get used to setting up decks and knowing which cards to use when it's pretty fun, actually more involved than the combat in 1 I think.

yea ok

please carry on the imp tradition of not understanding the combat, understanding and finding it interesting, and finally understanding it while praying for the game to end

Bravely default 2 is better than I was expecting and normal is definitely harder than normal was in default 1/second at least early on. I played both previous games on hard but I don't know if I'd enjoy hard in bd2

That there exists a level of agreement that 5 (the only one I've played) is the worst of the three indicates I need to check out 3 and 4.

you really should, and i've talked a lot of poo poo about P5 but it's still a good game. plus if you enjoyed it that much you're gonna love the older games

that said i would strongly suggest P4 Golden since it also has the qol updates that 5 has. 3 might be rough to go back to since you don't have full control over your party members.. the PSP version fixes that, but who owns a psp? lol
