Personally doesn't just look interesting to me, and I'm tired of watching hours long cutscenes instead of playing a game.
Sega can barely sell the game even with a deep sale.
>>748355591Cardboard cutouts for charactersChildish story about multiculturalism workingRepetitive gameplay
>>748355591No romance.
Compare with Clair Obscur and it's clear that it's literally just anime style being too niche. The genre is well loved, but some people are just filtered by the anime shit.
>>748355709but persona 5 and FF series are the most popular jrpgs before E33 is a thing. They all have anime art style. Maybe this game is just not that good
>>748355653That second point really did it in. I was playing the demo and I swear that fairy was straight out of a synagogue. >oy vey, all of the different races of people here work so well together and inflation is a good thing for the poor. Oy, don't that touch light (after beating the first boss)! Have you considered if another more underprivileged party member needs to be uplifted first instead?
>>748355591Wouldn’t say that it “failed” per se. It’s a completely new ip that doesn’t have romance aspects, which seems to be the primary things atlus fans care about nowadays. I’m not sure how many units you were expecting it to move but 2.46m for a new ip is pretty good
It launched against Expedition 33 which had more western journoshills shilling it, and without the signature mechanics like Social Link and dating mechanics it wasn't really too hot amongst Atlus fans.
>>748355591didn't let me fuck the fairy
WOKE TRASH
>>748356057So little porn of her. What is wrong with these homos?
>>748355631It is honestly crazy how bad the Atlus formula sells if it doesn't include teeny romance.
>>748355992but it had handshakes!
>>748355591JRPGs are lame and gay this game was no different.
>>748355591no romance
>>748355591The reason is simple, even if a certain crowd refuses to admit it.
No fanservice no buy
>>748355591no fairy sexno buysimple as
>>748355591they based the story and setting around the most boring and westoid kind of politics
>>748356170you're forgetting the Q-tip scene
>>748355591>generic weeb gameits like pissing in the ocean90% of modern weebs are sucked into shit gacha gambling nonsense. so that eats up most of their gayming time
i think most normalfags are starting to think anime is cringe and gay again because of all the trannies and fags that have made it their personality
>>748356193I think this is very true. I had to stop going to anime conventions because of that.
>>748355591>absolutely retarded name for a game>ps2 level graphics>weird MC design>whole story is one giant sidequest until the final 10 hours>proc gen tier dungeons>phoned in music outside the battle themes>can't fuck the fairy>same formulaic calendar rota and "unlock your archetype" shit since P3

>>748355591early on they found out the translation was bad
>>748355709>he doesn't knownobody tell him who makes the worldwide smash hit series Persona
>>748356193Did they ever think otherwise?
You call this a UI?
>>748356193>trannies and fags do a better job gatekeeping then usgrim
>>748356143combat was trash compared to Persona. it just wasn't a fun game, even if you look past the terrible writing. at least characters used to be likable when they spouted their light novels worth of dialogue over the course of 40 hours.
>>748356434Much better than trash like this.
>>748355709Its not the art style. Its the anime weeb cringe voice acting and dialogue that is off putting to me.
>>748356456destroying something and making it something completely embarrassing to consume is a good gatekeeping tactic i agree
Should've kept it as ReFantasy and sold ten copies like intended instead of turning it into (not)Persona5
>>748356471>trash combat A is better than trash combat B
Woke shit, I ain't touching a game with tolerance stat
We had this thrwad yeaterday and the day before. Why do autistic "people" do this?
>>748355591Persona devs' attempt at "high fantasy" ended up being "generic fantasy".
>>748356434Yeah. Persona 5's UI was so popular that it had a bunch of copycats ripping it off for awhile. That fad was as bad as the shitty template flat UI that *every* western game uses, because those devs didn't realize they could just make cool UIs that thematically fit with their games...it was just 'rip off the persona UI!'
>>748355591When the game released it sold well. Of course sales will drop off, the people that would buy it have bought it. It's a single player story game so once it's beat that's it move on to the next game. It didn't fail shit just greedy people up top wanting more money.
>>748355591No romance. That's it.
>>748355591No romance and the story is boring
Anime is cringe.
>>748355591For me it was the style of itIt's "overstyled" if that makes sense, like it's trying too hard to be different but it really isn'tI can stomach P5 but not this.
>>748355591The setting is just retarded. I saw the screenshots and was completely disinterested. I also don't enjoy turn-based combat enough to give Atlus the benefit of the doubt.
>>748355591This article is from 2025
>no waifuswhy bother?
>>748355591no romance, its really that shrimple. also, asses too flat. i'm looking at you hulkenberg
>>748355992Is this a bot? The games came out in different years separated by like 6 months
>>748355591>multiculturalism is good!Dropped.
imagine posting about a game you hate for hours every single dayimagine posting about a game you hate for hours every single day and almost being 50 years old
>>748355631Atlus has an extremely dedicated fan base, but sales are very frontloaded. Their games just start collecting dust on the shelf after a month or two. The only exception being Persona 5: Teacher Sex Simulator. We will see if Persona 6 can break this trend.
>>748355591Everybody is waiting for the Royal edition.Fuck over customers too many times and we'll learn.
>>748355591this shit was astroturfed so hard its insane
>>748355591>Persona without the waifusIt was ngmi
>>748358070This, but E33.
>>748355591The game is mediocre as hell and the hype felt completely astroturfed and had no legs
>>748357307Zootopia is a kids movie
>>748357004Yeah because they're too afraid to make these clickbait articles anymore after Atlus yelled at them kek
>>748355591The only atlus games i've played are the etrian odyssey's, i'm not sure if i'd like this.
>>748355591No crazy political choices to argue with people online aboutNot even a Chaos/Neutral/Law trichotomy like in SMT
>>748356798Because the threads keep dying and OP can't convince anyone the game flopped anymore
Don't worry.Tendies will buy 20 gorillion copies like they say it always happens.
>>748356504>7R derangement schizo
>>748355591Didnt it sell pretty well and make a profit though? I mean sure, its not Persona numbers, but who cares? They keep making SMT games despite also not having Persona numbers, and they keep waiting 10 years to make the next Persona DESPITE it having persona numbers.
>>748356870Yeah, Persona 5 had already showed signs of hamfisted storytelling and one dimensional trope-laden characters, but Metaphor really took it to the next level of blandness. I have very low hopes for Persona 6.
How is it mechanically? Is it just another Megaten game? Any gimmicks?
>>748358420You're talking to someone that keeps making these threads knowing that he's wrong
>>748358198You can go with the cute tribal girl and fairy end is also implied, the problem is that the choices to go that route are at the very end of their social link/game
>>748358489I havent been on /v/ in like 10+ months, didnt know it was a ritual thread. Guess I should have been able to tell though
>>748358481It's Megaten but worse. It has a job system which sounds cool at first but basically everyone just gets the same "stands" in different colors. And from what I heard you're ultimately railroaded into "optimal" classes for every character anyways. Your characters barely even do anything they mostly just summon their stands to make them do their attacks, so your cast barely even has an identity in combat.You can do action combat before initiating turn-based, but it's somehow worse than the the game it copied this from (Trails)
>>748355992Ironically, it took like 2 weeks for E33 to finally get recognized because everyone was shilling the Oblivion remaster at the time.
>>748358603also there's a calendar system that feels completely superfluous. You have to do the usual s-link crap to grind your social stats, except the s-links are completely boring and usually with faceless peons instead of actually likeable memorable characters with unique portraits and such. You can really tell they wanted to make something unique and then just gave up and reverted to their Persona comfort zone anyways.
>>748358603>And from what I heardlollmao
>>748358665I didn't finish it
>>748356324HAG-A-licious!
>>748358707I'm sure you didn't given how badly metaphor raped trails the year it came out. probably couldn't think about anything else
>>748358523>it is impliedhave an implied sell then
>>748358757>consolewar shitAlso the remakes are selling gangbusters so your argument is backfiring anywaysmy point was more so that they copied a system from a different JRPG and somehow just made it worse.
>>748355591This is how you know a video game didn't fail despite praise
Won't buy untill the next version I'm not gonna be tricked
>>748358840you're going to feel incredibly stupid when the next version has an upgrade path from the existing and you will just not buy it anyway until you can get both the base and the expansion for cheap
>>748358757>I'm sure you didn't given how badly metaphor raped trails the year it came out.Ok now how many Trails games came out when they announced they were working on this game and how much money did they spend making them?
>>748358915See I wouldn't even play base Metaphor if I got it for free because every single time I've done this shit Atlus always released an "upgrade". I'm not gonna beta test for this faggot ass company anymore
>>748358814>consolewarilliterate>the remakes are selling gangbusterscan't do math either especially if you're comparing to this game Like for all the shilling you retard did for Sky 2nd it has like 1/8 of your precious steamchart number that metaphor didAnd for all the shilling Kondo did for Sky 1st it's still never gotten another sales milestone and sold less than half of what this game did
>>748355591the mc design is super lame
>>748358962they made two good games and two shit ones from 2019 to late 2024 iirc, all four were flops though
>>748355591Atlus bad habit of releasing a "better version" of everything they do later has finally come to bite them in the ass, loads of people didn't try metaphor because they are expecting a "ultimate edition" to come out.
>>748358832This guy admitted to being "well into" his forties by the way. Incredibly grim.
Atlus lost.Square enix won.
Many people ware expecting a Gold version whit more content you have to buy again and play from the beginning to see the new content.As is the MO of Atlus.So many people decided ti wait.
>>748356143That and the constant "propaganda". People became more sensitive to those shit and are being more aware of how some games try to manipulate you.I wonder how will be the legs of Fire Emblem, now that it has a ton of faggots and cucks.
>>748355591goycattle are slowly catching on to the woke propaganda
>>748359291>>748359310>loads of peoplethere's never been any evidence for this btw, besides the people that don't have money insisting that they aren't a minority. And you hear this said on /v/ way way more than anywhere else. I wonder why that is.
>>748359205Actually they made 6>All 4 were flops though Doesn't matter when the series is still getting entries.
>>748359356>No evidence Here is your evidence https://www.theouterhaven.net/sega-admits-that-releasing-definitive-editions-may-be-hurting-initial-sales/
>>748359364No I was right, it was 4. They did the cold shit ensemble game and then kuro, kuro cold shit 2 tier finale edition and kai during that period. But I think you know that which is why you cope that there won't be another metaphor game either.
>>748359529They did CS3 CS4 HAJIMARIKURO KURO 2 KAIUnlike Atlus who has been stuck on a single persona game in the last decade Falcom still has regular releases for better or worse.
>>748355709People will point at Persona but the deeper underlying issue is that Metaphor was trying to branch out into more serious/less pandery storytelling but the only people who were interested in it were the Persona fans and they just wound up disappointed because it wasn't Girlfriend Simulator 6
>>748359706I was initially interested in it until I saw that it was persona with more boring stands
>>748359512>may beAnd we know they ruled this out after investigating, because they kept the definitive edition branding for Sonic Frontiers on shitch 2 that came out after this. And we know they were never talking about Atlus games also because the flops with "high ratings" in question they disclosed at the end of the FY were these. There was no mention of "initial" sales either which wouldn't make a lick of sense for Atlus games anyway because each new release has been out-doing the initial sales of the last game
>>748359631I can tell from how you worded this that you know they didn't start working on the game before 2019 and that upsets you for some reason
>>748359826>shitch 2So you are just a shitposter.
>>748359512something I noticed is that only these random websites no one gives a shit about ran articles on thisthen I actually read one of them and it turns out the story had nothing to do with Persona or Metaphor
>>748359891Nope, it's a little turd and I say that owning one. Now about the substance of the argument...
>>748359064god you're fucking annoying, all this because I said Metaphor is mediocre
>>748360105I said all that because you were coping that trails was doing amazing and obv were very upset metaphor existed and the result was very funny
>>748355591they diversified too close to the sun... many such cases.

>>748360479Victim Syndrome
>>748358481Its has a semi-unique mix and match job system where you build your character off different classes. Think like DDS, but there are prerequisites to each class and their evolutions. So you CAN make the mage character go into berserker if you level them a bunch in warrior and stuff, if you need to pick up a skill. It has social links that also effect how many skills you can cross over. Max is 4. Class exp is separate from character exp, and if you "overlevel" a class by 1000 class exp, you get an item worth 1000 class exp that can be used on anyone, so you can catch up new party members pretty fast.Social links arent super strict and there is no affection system, the "optimal" answers just give more material to buy crossover skills. Which is nice, but you can farm it so its not necessary.The classes themselves have some fun ideas, but the execution could have been a bit better. Like I like the idea of the merchant class, but it is stupidly overtuned. If you play, seriously dont do merchant until later. Try out gunner and commander and other stuff first. Masked Dancer is cool but I wish you didnt have to lock an accessory to it to make it have full skills. Summoner is fun once you get it going. Mage line is unfortunately tied to story progression like star/magician in P4/P5, but its not too terrible. unfortunately you get a "final" class to go for at endgame, which takes away from the builds kinda, though they do have prerequisites in line with your typical builds anyway. Though to put it in perspective, my MC rocked evolved Merchant over his final class. Yea. Its that broken.It had a lot of fun ideas, though it suffers a bit from feeling too much like a persona game in the beginning especially. It gets better on that end as it goes, but the first 10 hours youre going to be thinking "this is medieval fantasy persona". I would like to see a metaphor 2 where they refine it, but I dont know if that is ever going to happen. I had fun.
>>748361040considering how raped you snoyggers are, yeah, that's probably a more accurate label for you lmao
>>748361353>b-but snoyDon't even own one, but glad they live rent free in you.
>>748361523much like tendies live with you then?
>>748361152W-Who told you that?!
>>748355591For a totally new series it sold good enough, hope they do a sequel but maybe not in fantasy but on another genre
>>74835563125 money for garbage is considered cheap? Maybe at 10, no make that 5
Ass too flatEven kids have better asses
>>748356434It sure beats the template lazy UI in every sony game
>>748356536When was anime ever not embarrassing to consume?
>>748361152OC? On MY ritual shitpost general???
I'm still waiting. I will buy this game on release date.
>>748355591Pearls before swine, this is why we get wolverine
>>748355591It's really just a fantasy SMT and global players only know Atlust from Persona 5's memes.
>>748361602I know exactly how they think, i'm one of them.
>>748361784Anime is pretty fucking mainstream now my guy. I see anime bumper stickers like every other day and hear teens talking about it in public. I see normal looking adults with normalfag anime shirts on a lot too.
>>748361863>multicultural shilling>pearlsthis piece of shit falls in the same category as S0iverine: TRASH
>>748361901>no timestamp>4chan file nameNice try, nigger.
>>748361972>culture war retardThe game shows that there are both assholes and good people on all races in game. Its not like it props up one race as being brave and all the rest as evil, like your typical woke game. If you have a problem with that portayal, you apparently hate most storytelling with fantasy races every in vidya.

>>748355591I'm still waiting for the enhanced port
>>748360260I kneel
>>748362474Honestly its way more common in the past few years. It feels like every decently successful vidya has at least one autist dedicating his life to endlessly shitting up any thread on the topic. Probably a strong indicator of societies collapse into hysteria and mental illness in general
Having shills tell people to buy a game does not work.
>>748360260What compels these creatures to keep at it for years? Do they seriously have nothing better going on?
>>748355591It's Persona without the escapism which is the only reason people play Persona
>>748355591>another Metaphor seethe threadWhy are retards so mad about this game?
>>748358206They were both heavily astroturfed and then immediately forgotten
>>748362657Worked for Soulsshit
>>748355591First RPG I dropped in a long time. Huge fan of SMTV:V and the other SMT games and Ive played JRPGs since the 1990s but this game? I dropped it about 1/3rd of the way in and I'll tell you why it is because there is way WAY too much useless dialog. It's cutscene after cutscene and 1 hour of chat boxes where you couldn't explain what was just said. It felt like Fire Emblem 3 houses turned up to 100 in the worst way. The games combat was ok but it fights you left and right to prevent you from enjoying it and would rather you talk to NPCs all day. Yeah no thanks, even Monster Hunter Stories 3 felt like a breath of fresh air by comparison.
>>748362657Worked tor E33
>>748362717you are too obviousnow continue your ritualposts
>>748362690Literally any setting outside of non-fiction is "escapism" you retard. If anything, its MORE "escapist" because you arent as grounded in a common reality, ie highschool. Youre maybe looking for "relatable power fantasy", but even thats a stretch
>>748360210Can't wait for more sandniggers to burn down chink temples, in sha alla
>>748362769Worked for Persona
>>748355591It sold well initially because of hype but the game is genuinely shit and poor word of mouth killed it
the e33 seethe thread poster is the same autist making metaphor threadsthank me later
because its lame and faggot
>>748362769>maybe 20 minutes of cut scene story stuff, then gameplay/social sim for hours before the next 20 minutes.>WOW ITS NOTHING BUT DIALOGUEUh huh.
>>748355591Rebirth won
>>74836289620 minutes of story isn't a lot to you? what the fuck
>wave of the same tired word salad shitposts>nobody replying back when engaged>post timesVery organic.
>>748363034very organic like this thread and that one ritualposting autistic retard
>>748361152Thanks man. Ill probably pick it up at some point.
>>748362356You posted someone else's image you saved from here, not anything like what I asked for now is it, you retarded faggot.
>>748362896Fuck right off it is way more than 20 minutes. Being disingenuous for the sake of it is just sad. There is just so much side quest slop with useless dialog and the story is also the very same. Cutscene, cutscene, 1 5 minute boss fight, cutscene, cutscene, cutscene, another 5 minute fight. Finally, a DUNGEON! Congrats you beat the dungeon enjoy another 2 hours of dialog in town.
>>748363004In a 60-80 hour game? No. Its roughly a fourth of the game time probably.
>>748355591They should just stick to SMT and Persona. One has a cool story and legacy, and the other has fanservice. Metaphor had none. They learned nothing from Catherine.At least Metaphor had good music
>>748355591Atlus games always had terrible fucking gameplay. Even Pokemon mogs the floor with them.
>>748363120>Fuck right off it is way more than 20 minutes. Outside the very opening part? Yea, its usually 20 minutes or less.>Being disingenuous for the sake of it is just sad.Ironic.>There is just so much side quest slopSo not mandatory. You are bitching about a role playing game having dialogue and story telling, including the optional content. >Cutscene, cutscene, 1 5 minute boss fight, cutscene, cutscene, cutscene, another 5 minute fight.A boss fight is dialogue now? Are you actually fucking retarded?>Finally, a DUNGEON! Congrats you beat the dungeon enjoy another 2 hours of dialog in town.This didnt happen by the way.
>>748362769>Huge fan of SMTV:Vthere it is
>>748355591IMO, it was a good and solid game, it was just very bland. I went back and tried to do a solo MC run like I've done with Personas 3-5 so far, and didn't even get past the castle dungeon before I was basically forcing myself through it and stopped. I liked the idea of archetypes but they just felt very eh, there wasn't a ton of variety, and some of the ultimate archetypes felt like they had some very weird requirements.
>>748355591Gameplay is repetitive as fuck. At least in Persona I can hang out in Tokyo and bang some cuties.
>>748363214>pokemonIf youre going to shitpost, make it believable
>>748363449>nigger never played a pokemon game in his entire life
>>748363350Yea. I can see the potential and wouldnt mind the system making a comeback in another game, but it needs refined
>>748363449>xhe thinks I am shitpostingPersona 3 Reload is a literal baby game and plays itself, it is easier than any Switch Pokemon title, it is insanity. You fucking retard.
>>748363538this is correct and 4 will be even shittier
>>748363324>So not mandatory.First Atlus game? Side quests are essential in their games if you want decent equipment, skill points, and anything else unless you turn the difficulty down.>just play normal mode thenYeah take away from the core experience to enjoy their games more. It happened alright.
>>748355591Doesn't that happen all the time? It's why you have cult classic as a term.
>>748363476On the contrary, I was there for pokemania, kept playing when it was considered gay to like pokemon, watched as normalfaggots "rediscovered" it and then gamefreak shit the bed a few gens ago. I also did some comp faggotry back in the day.I can safely tell you that nuPokemon is slop, and that the only real mechanical depth in pokemon comes from comp faggotry. Certainly not going through the actual base game.>B-But what about [boss power spike faggot]Having something with a modicum of challenge at the very end of the game when youve been able to mindlessly unga bunga through the last 30-40 hours with zero incentive to deviate from that is more annoying than anything. Pokemon is absolutely not more challenging or interesting as a base game than any recent Atlus game.
>>748363773Don't get me wrong, Pokemon is shit too.
>>748363753It does, but it didn't happen with this game anyway and OP is a clickbait gamerant article. Metaphor's legs are just about identical to P3R's and the only game in the entire Atlus catalogue that has better than either of them is P5
>>748363509Ironically, this is one of the Atlus game that desperately needs an "updated" version.One thing I actually did like about the game was bosses having certain things that would affect their behavior and potentially make it easier/harder, like going apeshit if your entire party was in the front row, and you had to actively go out of your way to find information about it, like doing research to get ready for a tough enemy. It had two main issues for me that kind of let it down.A. The only way to get the info was paying an info broker money to just hand over everything. A bit more variety might have helped, like some being from them, others you have to track down an NPC who fought it before or something.B. From memory(it's been a while since I played admittedly), the system was way too binary, in the sense that if you did the thing the boss didn't like, it would generally just respond by wiping your party. If the entire party being in front made it more reckless and it did extra damage but took extra damage in return, that could be a fun extra layer to add to the fight, weighing if you want to eat the extra damage to end the fight faster or hang back and play bit safer.
>>748363538>brings up the demake as a gotchaExplain right now how pokemon "mogs" something like SMT4A or SMTVV in mechanical depth you disingenuous faggot. Regale me about how ebinly thought provoking it is to catch 5 mons and then unga bunga with an overleveled starter until he eventually gets knocked out, and you sac one of your other 5 mons to revive it so it can continue its rape spree. Go on.
>add fairy but no romanceIt decided to fail by itself
>>748363903>SMTok I should have clarified, I meant Persona, Metaphor is its child (spiritual successor); and Persona always had shit gameplay.
>>748355591it's me, sorry. I don't buy games with denuvo
>>748363727>Side quests are essential in their games if you want decent equipment, skill points, and anything else unless you turn the difficulty down.It isnt. You can buy good equipment that will easily carry you through the game. You can get plenty of exp in dungeons. The biggest thing would be that some SLs are locked behind a few sidequests. Still optional, still not mandatory. I beat it on hard without having to do a lot of sidequests very easily. The thing you need to work on is class exp for skills, which you effectively have infinite of if you must, though the game does a fairly good job catching you up if you are "behind level"
>>748363903>brings up the demakeisn't it like the future of Atlus? They will remake 5 too.
>>748363842Cool. It still isnt "mogging" atlus games in mechanical depth outside of the 2% of users who actually do comp.
>>748364014Metaphor is far more like an SMT game than a persona game mechanically. No one mores, no assists, press turn system, etc. The system itself is more akin to digital devil saga than persona.Please play the fucking game before trying to comment on it.
>>748364165would have agreed but... Z-A mogs
>Be woke>Have to make 10 Million Sales regardless of the actual cost it makes your game>Be chud>Doesn't have to sell anything for your shit to be lauded as a success here
>>748363885The only time the behavior gimmick really wipes the party is in the very first side dungeon they do it in that was in the demo because your spellcasters are weak to the type of attack that gets used and that's assuming you don't take advantage of having the magic damage to kill them faster. If you killed the dragon in the 2nd tutorial dungeon they also make that easier to pull off because you get fire damage on a weapon.
>>748363949You can flirt with her and you are heavily implied to end up with her.
>>748364307I havent played it since I stopped playing pokemon post arceus/SwSh, but unless its radically different from Arceus, I really doubt that.
>>748355591>no romanceI'm not wasting my time with that slop, sorry.
>>748364315>go into a thread for a game that was neither of those things and make shit up do shills really count as chuds at that point
>>748364418it is real time combat, and feels like a kiddy Persona game but in Pokemon world with a banger ost wowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvSlzzXpZEQ
>>748364484So you've probably said at least 3 times in this very thread
>>748364014NTA but even Purseowner has more nuance than fucking pokemon lol. Like you atleast have to put a little thought into fusing to make a snowballed uber demon. Where as Pokemon is literally just clearing shit with your starter and having 5 other pokes as back up just in case the starter gets crit or something. There is a reason why fans had to do a bunch of self imposed rules to limit your level before gyms and just catching a bunch of shit.
>>748356504The difference is this is functional. Its easy to read and has everything you need. Atlus however wants everything to be STYLIZED which just makes for busy menus. Compare P4's menu, which was stylish and functional, to the mess in the remake and you'll see what I mean. Less is often more.
>>748364535So basically just Arceus 2?
Can't fuck the fairyLost my sale immediately.
>>748355591>june 2025 Crazy how much this game makes OP seethe just because of some gay awards showStill sold more than Rebirth even without a switch port btw (which is coming soon)
>>748364681its a Legends game I guess, no explorationIt is entirely focused on fighting, instead of catching
>>748355591Got burned by not waiting for SMTVV, decided to wait for ReReFantazio, saw all the mixed feedback between mildly unsatisfied Purseowner fans and SMTfags and then forgot it existed. Also fantasy RPGs are a dime a dozen, I always liked that SMT games took place in a modern setting.
>>748364608Except Persona 3 Reload which is for literal monkeys where the biggest challenge is to die
>>748364731Eh. Not really interested at this point. Taking away the catching and exploration just makes it a battle sim, which means that fights need to be actually challenging. And at which point, I might as well just boot up showdown.
>>748364806>mixed reviews
>>748364906they didn't take those out entirely, they are just therethe game functions literally like Persona 3 where at day you goof up with a crew of colorful characters, and at night you fight the DLC is notorious for adding a timer to it and making everything moderately difficult, which to the average Pokefag translates to Insane mode. It was funny seeing the backlash.
>>748363093No problem, hope you like it
>flirt & heavily impliedInsufficient
>>748364962he means mixed /v/ shitposts lol
Social links had to do too much worldbuilding, like you have to know about the history of glorpthok slavery to get to know hamsteak the bloffrothek. SLs having quirky highly personal characters occupying a social niche you don't need spelled out to you is why they work in Persona
>>748365036>the DLC is notorious for adding a timer to it and making everything moderately difficult, which to the average Pokefag translates to Insane mode. It was funny seeing the backlash.Kek, ok that is pretty funny. Meh, maybe Ill check it out.
>>748365084I mean its just OP replying to his own thread over and over again but still funny to see what bs he comes up with, especially if its so easily disprovable
