Brief thoughts on Persona 5: it's phenomenal and has in many ways exceeded my high expectations. It goes places few games are willing to go.

It will get 5/5 because Ben's reviewing it. TBH if anyone other than Michael Damiani reviewed Zelda the score would of been 5/5.

Not one for scores but to give context this would be his first 5 though for an EZA review.

Time to ask:

Realistically, what are the chances of this coming to Switch?

If there is any review that you wish wasn't included in the consensus score it's IGN Spain:

Artistically refreshing, fun, deep and long. One of the best RPGs that we are going to see on 2017... But it's only in english, which is a mayor flaw on Spain.

But honestly I don't care. Happy to see it received so well.

Those two games don't have a strong central plot and heavy emphasis on character development and interaction as the core drive to keep you interested throughout. I would definitely recommend P5 to you even if you didn't like those games.

However if you don't like the core SMT gameplay of turn based encounters targeting weaknesses however, it's definitely a harder sell. You can turn the game to an easier difficulty. Also in this game, you can just press R1 in battle and it will automatically select the appropriate weakness-hitting skill for you if you already discovered the enemy weaknesses. It definitely makes the battle mechanics far less cumbersome.

Thanks for your answer. I liked the combat system and i love challenging games, as i said the issues i had with those games were more related to pacing and world map (for smt iv) and repetitiveness (for smt). I'll certainly get P5 and it'll very likely be better than both those games but i think i'll prioritize Nier and Ni Oh for now.

I wonder how the BotW review would look like if it was made by Huber lol

His reaction to the final trailer was something else

JRPG characters are never meant to be your representation they are a character you follow.

Are we talking about NPCs or protags here? In the case of the NPCs it's useful to speak of representation as a function of depiction. Is it a bad look when the price of inclusivity is two joke characters who reinforce negative stereotypes? Yes, it is. If we're talking about protagonists, they're not always simply a character you follow since you define their behavior and make choices throughout the game for them and are absolutely your representation, so the lack of gay options just shows Atlus is still stubbornly unwilling to cross that line while western devs leave them behind here. It's not an unfair criticism either way.

Easily the best swansong PS3 could have received. Easily worth the extended dev time.
Also, is port begging allowed on review threads? Really bad taste to do that instead of celebrating great games, and frankly, supporting them on any device they come.

94 meta score? Hell yeah!

It did better than I expected. I was predicting an 88 - 92 meta score.

Can't wait to play this after I finish Andromeda!

One of the hardest things I've ever had to do as a games journalist is right now waiting for my review copy of P5, which should be coming in by the end of the week. Seeing these reviews go up is killing me on the inside and I'm having minor panic attacks.

On the bright side, really happy to see one of my most highly anticipated games ever doing so, so well -- like I knew that it would.

I don't usually enter these threads if I've got a pre-existing boner for a game that I had pre-ordered some 2-3 months ago where reviews are white noise at this point. .. But it's Persona 5 SO LET'S GO!! *gets out pom poms*

Link?

And I dunno, Ben was pretty critical of Nier.

I'm broke as fuck this year, but this is the game that no matter what happens, I will get. Super happy to know the wait it's almost over, and it was worth it! :D
