Would Persona be still Persona or more broadly SMT series be able to retain its identity if in the future they adopted a more realistic visual aesthetic as opposed to the highly stylized anime one?
It's a random thought that popped into my head after seeing FFXV and this thread about the "Mizuchi" engine (Japanese).
hmm i mean it could but it would leave a very different impression. I personally would never want that. FFXV looks great graphically but I don't think it holds a candle to the "style" P5 has. When a menu is so fucking impressive that it puts any other to shame, I don't know why anybody would want a realistic looking Persona.
