Well unless they improved the visuals since I saw it last year, I'll have to disagree on that. Stylistically it looks great, but I think the visual fidelity is worse than Catherine. I'd also disagree on "no reason"... in-house engines just can't compete with UE4 at this point for this-gen games, and there's little reason to even try unless they're doing something crazy technically or using a very unique visual style. It just ends up wasting time and money to try, as we've seen from other Japanese devs who've tried.
True, forgot about that. That's promising going forwards.

I know, but I'm just saying that Persona 3/4/5 makes a consistent sequence of quality JRPGs. We had almost a decade since the last game so, as a franchise, Persona 5 confirmed its quality.
I like FF too so I'm definitely waiting for 7 remake.

I'm in the exact same situation. This weekend is going to be a long one lol
Final Fantasy is most certainly at the bottom now. Tales and Persona have taken over the past years.

I'll play it one day because it's Persona but that'll probably be a long time from now at this rate. Not surprised it turned out so well.

I've ignored everything since the reveal trailer (which was enough to pre order and pay in full) but now I'm putting sonething together and I'm learning all sorts of things I didn't know or want to, lol.

GameSpot video review comments, these spoilers can be anywhere i know someone who got spoiled from Twitter months ago since Japan version released like 6 months ago

YouTube comments are toxic don't know why i read there still lol learnt my lesson
Edit:
Permanently A confirmed that spoiler was bollocks I'm saved bois!!
Do all dungeons look the same? By that I mean endless corridors with no variety?
In P5? Nah, unlike 3 and 4 they aren't randomly generated. All hand crafted and whatever. I've seen some gameplay and they look like a bunch of fun, platforming segments and stuff too.

Damn that's brutal.
I feel like going into P3 knowing the ending really to robbed it of its impact

Well shit, this might be my first persona game. Only played shin megami tensei games.
In p3 all the dungeons looks the same, in p4 theres a theme for each chapter, but the floors looks the same, in p5 idk but they say its better
I didn't finish it cause of it.
P4 was a letdown for me. I know P4 is GAF's pet game but P3 is just the better overall game for me (except for the battle system, which is debatable).
If P5 truly deviates P4 in a good way, then that's a net positive for me.

Mmmh main character related dungeons are handcrafted. There is a randomly generated dungeon but honestly far less painless to get through based on the tools they give you and also with how they try to nudge players to pace through it throughout the game. So really there is far more variety no question compared to prior titles.
Thanks for the replies.
Never finished P3 due to the dungeons, liked everything else about it though.
Nice to see they addressed those issues with P5.

That is super de duper maximum shitty, just because they should know better and be held to a higher standard than youtube commenter trolls.
That being said, I didn't think that P3 had a particularly narrative-spoiling twist, not like Persona 4 at least. You miss out on a nice moment of the ending, but I don't think the plot hinges on it.
I'm ready to block 50% of my twitter follows on official release date for this game, though.
Happened to me. Dont google even basic words with Persona 5. Not too bummed as it aligned with some observations I had.

Optional-ish, tied to sidequests.

The last few Persona games have gotten better scores.
Plus Nintendo's Xenoblade games both have gotten better scores then FF XV.
Sells wise tho, FF does much better I think

All you poor fellows dodging spoilers has given me an idea of what to do on April Fool's to my friends who haven't played it either.
It's not going anywhere, enjoy your switch.
How limiting is the day system in this game? I remember hearing about how you basically needed to follow a guide in P4 to maximize your time in the game because of all the choices.
Like I'm fine not being bestest buddies with everyone or seeing everyone's full story, but getting locked out of gameplay related upgrades or items or trophies would seriously put a damper on my enjoyment.

congratulations to the fans of the series on this achievement
i haven't played any Persona game and don't plan to because i don't like turn based games
i feel like in this year reviewers have gone soft on games
can someone tell me what is the difference between Persona games and the other turn based games ?? what makes it special ?? for the record, the only turn based game that i liked was Child of light, would i like Persona 5 ?

Lol, yeah. I don't know if many people realize this is still a PS3 game.

Never played a person's game before. Any word on pro enhancements?
How i Will do:
-Play the First time without a Guide not caring for Platinum and missables, but still doing everything i find to do.
-New game plus on the hardest difficulty, Reading on a Guide what i missed and How to get Platinum
About difficulty, hard is kinda average on p4 for me, How is p5?

No pro enhancements.
If you have any affection for jRPGs, you should bite. There's no other series quite like it.
Very easy to wipe early on even in normal, but save points are generous and you can change difficulty at any time without penalty.
Nope none.
It is definitely challenging, but it never felt "impossible".
