Also, Persona is niche and really on single platform (PS3 is dead). Look at Japanese Persona vs FF sales, for example.
If it gets to 2 million in say a year that would be great performance and probably best selling Atlus game ever.

Well it was Laura Kate Dale who reviewed it there and she's biased towards Nintendo platforms so not surprised really, but what I was surprised was port begging in a review article like really bruh, in fact any port begging in any article is low but in a review article that's the lowest like gee

This.
I'm really intrigued by this, but christ almighty 100 hours for a playthrough is too much =/

I really don't care about MC averages, but I wasn't expecting a 100+ hour JRPG to ever reach 94. The near-universal praise for this game is surprising and encouraging. Can it top for P3 for me? I'm ready to find out!
And I've been on blackout for so long, I had no idea there was a Souls-ish multiplayer component! Very cool.

zelda just got something like 94 in average if im not mistaken thats also 100 hours long easily
That it's not a 10/10 and Laura spread some rumors about Switch or something so she's not qualified to have an opinion, I guess. *shrug*

Well yeah but that's Zelda. And not really a JRPG, not in the traditional sense.
It's not an RPG though and it got 97.

Happy to see great reviews for this. Goodbye doing anything else in my spare time until this is finished.

Should we read into the fact that the highest rated PS4 titles are PS3 remasters?
I mean Uncharted 4 and Forza Horizon 3 are the
highest rated original titles of the generation. And they only got there by being the exemplars of their genres.
Don't you dare talk that way about my PS3 Slim, what a glorious Persona 5 machine it is!
just checked it, it's still alive, phew!
Criticizing the precense of handheld game design in a home console game is absolutely valid lol, come on people, not every review has to be a perfect 10.
But you can beat Zelda in 20, hell, even 10 hours if you so wish. You're actually required to play at least around 90 hours to finish the main storyline in this.

Come on. Zelda is an open world Nintendo AAA game. And it is Zelda.
Persona 5 is a 100+ hours anime turn-based JRPG.

you can update the first page. you know just in case for the people who are late.
and about the review, i guess everyone praise the OST. I did listen for a couple and i feel the bass was clearly drawn, not played manually. That supper bummer for me
I dont think it will affect majority of players tho. I can tolerate for other genre but this is acid jazzbest modern gaming party cast

Wow. Pre-ordered last week but damn didn't even think it was that good.
Zelda isn't a JRPG and it doesn't take 100 hours to beat. Yes, there are technically 100+ hours of content, but you can comfortably beat the game (all main quests, plus a bunch of side quests and shrines) in 30-40 hours. The difference here is that Persona 5 requires a commitment of around 100 hours just to finish the game.

I suck at that mini game. I tried it once and missed all of them.

You seriously have no problems with a Switch port beg? That's like saying Witcher 3's biggest fault is that it's not on a portable system. Reads like a GameFAQS user review, lol.
Other than that the review was fine and 8.5 isn't bad.
I don't have faith in many things, but so far, Atlus hasn't let me down. I'm willing to make the leap in this case and assume yes, it is going to be good.
(Mind you, insanely positive raves from import players make it easier to believe too...)
Games with huge development and marketing budgets. Persona 5 may be cool and all, but it's not a AAA game.

you can beat it in 10 hours if you skip everything and go straight to ganon i guess
isnt it more or less atlus pouring in all their resources?
also id prefer a good game with good scores rather than an AAA game that sucks balls

NEXT LEVEL lame™
Resident Evil 7, Yakuza 0, Halo Wars 2, NiOh, Breath of the Wild. Sweet Jesus, so many games I've loved in such close proximity. Persona 5 looks like it's going to be added to that list.
It hasn't reached 95 MC yet. It's still mediocre in my eyes after all this hype and topping GAF's most anticipated list for years.
/S obviously.

No it's not lol wtf. I can see a game working better there but that's not a valid criticism towards a game.
I've read Gamefaqs user reviews that were far better than many professional review sites.

Same. Atlus is one of the very last few developers who have never disappointed me with a game. Enjoyed every single one that I've played and this looks like one of their best ever.

Just finished catching up to the thread. That criticism about not being portable is one of the strangest I've ever heard lol
More on topic though, soooo excited. Pleeeeeeeeeease make turn-based RPGs cool again.

Oh I would be more than fine with the PS3 version, but I am not sure if I be active enough to get out my PS3 that I felt I was pretty much mostly done with and try to get through this long (turn based) RPG on the TV. I know that might sound weird, but I pretty much moved towards PC/portable (including playing WiiU exclusively on gamepad), so eh.
No it didn't.

I just started Automata on Sunday, and as much as I adore that game so far and it's predecessor, Persona is my favorite game series of all time. Really hope I can wrap that game up before Tuesday, but it's not gonna happen. Sad to shelve it until I beat this game, but holy hell I CANNOT WAIT.

Auto quote because some of you guys seriously seem to not want to notice the rest of the written review.

Any notable reviews we're still waiting on? I think Easy Allies will have theirs up by Friday?
Can't wait to get the Take Your Heart edition. It's gonna look so good next to my Odin Sphere Leifthrasir collectors edition (Atlus killing the CE game)

Yeah, I hope it puts to rest all the GAF comments that turn-based is outdated and every JRPG should be an Action-RPG.

Two things bug me about this, now that I'm watching it on a loop.
1st, fuck that minigame. I hate it.
2nd, hitting the ball with that part of the bat would cause it to hook foul.
7/10

Insane review scores, shame I couldn't stand the previous game. I'm happy for you guys, though! More good games is good!
With the way she worded it? No, not really.

well she can play mario x rabbids rpg i guess?
after FFXV i hope ARPGs go and die
On the other hand P5 took less time to make then FF and therefore cost a lot less (almost certainly). There are many factors at play though like you're getting at
