Playing Persona 2 has dramatically reduced my anticipation for P5, because I'd rather the series be more like that but I guess that's a thing of the past. PQ was in some ways like the first which was neat.

The style is interesting and looks like they are changing things up a little anyway (they needed to). It's definitely refreshing to see the Persona style with new characters finally. Guns seem to be back too, which is cool.

It's going to be more P3/P4 level watered down dating sim. At least it looks cool.

P5 looks more like a departure from 3/4 than more of the same. I welcome this change.

I need to get around to playing Persona 1/2.

No it looks a lot like 3 and 4.

You do need to play the two P2 games. One is actually pretty skippable.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

I have never played a Persona game and have no real interest in doing so

 

[MetatronM]

So Persona 5 is basically Darker than BLACK: High School Edition? I'm all over that.

 

[bigkrev]

God P5 is going to be so good

 

[Seda]

kehhei

 

[Man God]

Yeah, I'm really feeling this new project. Remembered I promised to baby sit next week though so if I want to do it daily I'll have to either blow three away or get creative, or delay it a week.

 

[Soulflarz]

Persona 5 has too much style to fail >.>

Jokes aside, I'm trying to think of a game with a style that caught my attention so strongly since this. The reds/black are just amazing. Since I only love red like that when it's mixed with black, and the style is done just so well.

 

[Raxus]

Now that we've lost it we know we can kill...

I never played a persona game to completion. Should be fixing that with P5

 

[Man God]

Darker than Black Season 2 is so bad.

 

[Tenumi]

You and me both.

Ah... can't wait to get back into the grove of things this Saturday.

 

[Jarate]

Persona is really good if you like self insert games. The menus are also some of the best designed in the industry and the style oozes out of the game. The combat mechanics are good enough to push you through, but it really is just a self insert fantasy.

I'm generally not that much of a fan 3 and 4 which are the only ones I've played, but Id rather play other jrpgs

Plus, people should be getting hype for DBZ Xenoverse which allows you to put your on OC in! GOTY

 

[Imperial Bishop]

The pacing shift between Kill la Kill, Shippuden, and Final Act will be a killer.

Like one of those roller coasters where they launch you at high speeds then stop suddenly then launch you even faster.

 

[BassForever]

Persona 3 FES was a good game but it didn't make me a big fan of the series. Persona 4/Golden I've fallen in love with and am super hyped for Persona 5. That trailer was amazing!

Edit: I've also see the argument that the persona series mirrors the JoJo series in terms of how the story plays out and how the powers work.

 

[Zonic]

We should get Persona 4 The Animation so Atlus can be all "HERE, HAVE SOME MONEY, NOW PROMOTE PERSONA 4 & 5 FOR US!" & then we get reviews of P4G, P4AU, then P4 DAN.

That's a pretty good analogy.

[Man God]

No PQ review?

 

[Zonic]

No, that's not canon. But I GUEESSSS if they needed 4 weeks of reviews, they could review it.

 

[Man God]

1. PQ is sort of canon. A bit less than the fighting game but since it hits the magic reset button it sort of doesn't matter.

2. Everything on TOONAMI is canon. They don't skip so-called "filler".

 

[Raxus]

How canon is Straw Hat Theater Man God?

 

[Man God]

How canon is Straw Hat Theater Man God?

See 2 above.

 

[Seda]

Straw Hat Theater is canonically the contents of Zoro's dreams

 

[UltraGunner]

Persona 5 is now about Lupin III and I love everything about that

 

[Raxus]

Straw Hat Theater is canonically the contents of Zoro's dreams

And here I thought Zoro's dreams only consisted of more training.

 

[daveo42]

That and dangerous staircases.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Okay, so I've never been into Persona, but the Persona 5 trailer has me interested.

Where do I start with this series?

Start with Persona 3 (either the FES version on PS2/PS3 or Persona 3 Portable on PSP/Vita) and then start Persona 4 (get P4 Golden on Vita). If you want more you can also go back to the first Persona game on PSP (which involves grid based combat and takes most of its ques from Shin Megami Tensei) and then go on to Persona 2 (Persona 2 is 2 games split up. The first one, Innocent Sin, you can get on PSP/Vita, while the second one, Eternal Punishment, is only available on the PS1 via PSN).

Eternal Punishment is on psn though?

Dammit baka shinji! Eternal Punishment is also available on PSP/PS Vita through the PS1 Classics line.

So P3 is a good entry point? I thought the games were mostly stand-alone.

 

[bigkrev]

Where do I start with this series?

Buy a Vita, and wait for a sale on the whole franchise (there is one seemingly ever 6 weeks or so).

The PSP version of 3 and the Vita version of 4 are the best ways to play the games. P3P takes refinements from Persona 4 and adds them to the game, and P4G takes refinements from P3P and adds them to the game.

 

[Man God]

Do you like dating sims/chore simulators/easy ass RPGS with little depth? P3/P4 are the games for you!

Bonus, you can make P4G, the Vita remake of P4, even easier!

 

[daveo42]

Outside of small references and nods, they are. It doesn't really matter where you start really. I started with P4G and loved both that and P3FES and have yet to play both parts of 2.

 

[Tenumi]

Doesn't necessarily say the Anime itself, but Viz Media was named Master Merchandise Licensee for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure in North America.

Could be interesting to see where this goes, if anywhere. I sure know I'd love to watch Jojo on Toonami.

Sounds like if a dub does come, it'll be from Viz.

 

[Moaradin]

holy fuck that persona 5 trailer.

 

[BassForever]

I started with persona 3 fes it or p3 portable is a great entry point so you can see how the current generation of persona games play. The bit of p1 I tried reminded me of the bit of SMT 1 I tried fun old school dungeon crawler but not a good indicator of what the series currently is

P1 also has wretched dungeons. SMT 1 at least has some fun ones. The series peaks with the two P2 games.

 

[Raxus]

P4G remains one of the two reasons I still want to but refuse to purchase a vita.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Well, that's you, Raxus, but it looks like I'm going to have to buy a Vita soon.

Oh snap. I hope this means they're working on a dub. There's a silver lining for JoJo on Toonami.

 

[mightynine]

Toonami |Feb14| Actually the Persona thread in disguise

One day, I'm going to get back into P4G on my Vita.

 

[Grexeno]

Maybe that test dub earlier was so they could get these rights.

 

[BassForever]

God I hope so! Now someone figure out hxh rights and lets get that dub rollin

 

[Htown]

Sweet. I look forward to them not translating any of the attack names.

 

[Man God]

Does anyone honestly care about a bunch of dumb music references?

Considering they have the manga rights, I'm sure this'll refer to them having the anime rights as well. I wonder about gaming rights since Namco seems to have the Jojo (& Naruto...& One Piece......& DBZ) rights when it comes to making/publishing those games.

 

[Raxus]

The most overt one was changed for the better.

Dan of Steel.

I don't mind but it'd be nice if they could keep as many as possible in.

 

[Grexeno]

It isn't quite JoJo if everything isn't a direct refernce to a song or band.
