>>737507614The greatest game (not rpg) of ALL TIME is infinite undiscovery. Every other game is so lacking by comparison they don't deserve to be numbered alongside it.
>>737507614Looks like perpetual highschooler japanese crap. Yawn
>>737507614I paid like 0.2$ for an offline activation half a year ago and finished it. Romanced the goth doc
>>737507614>Persona 1 and 2 protags in the art>No re-release or demaster on steamAtlus should die already.

>>737507728eceleb drama is even worse than twitter niggersgo back
>>737507614It's a good game but even ignoring all the better RPGMaker ""slop"" and romhack ""slop"" SMTVV is Atlus' best game.
>>737507614I bought it when it was on sale really cheap on PS4 a few years ago to try it, and I got to the part where you meet the cat thing in the school and stopped.Japanese RPG story telling, or maybe just Atlas in paticular, is just so boring.
>>737508413>Persona 1 and 2 protags in the artThey did that for the 25th and the 20th anniversaries too, so don't hold your breath.
>>737508532>Wake me up when p3remake or smtvv is on saleThose have a demo bypass and a HV.
I would buy it just so I could play through the royal specific content until I remembered okumura's palace and considered calling the police instead
>>737508873Holy shit!!
>>737507614Already have>>737508729This, fuck Makotrash, but add Lavenza on the last one
>>737508729
>>737508256>spoilerMe too
>>737507728lmao twitter screencaps and eceleb drama go hand in hand. What the fuck is this attempted pivot.
>>737510019shut up Makotofag
Eh. I got around 6 hours in but still felt like I hadn't gotten past the tutorial so I just got bored and gave up. Kind of want to try it again for the waifus, but I also remember those first 6 hours being pretty painful.I know Persona is a marathon but damn. P4 also suffered a lot from this, by the time you starting actually getting to the good parts you are already burned out by the never-ending tutorial/setup. I don't know why, but P3 has a much stronger start and kind of hooks you right away in a way 4 and 5 doesn't.
>>737507614I slogged through the entirety of persona 4 back in the day, I don't know how people enjoy that kind of putrid dogshit. I'm never playing persona again.
>>737508729>not sumireGay

[Buy a fucking ad]
>>737507614I dont plan on starting hrt
>>737508729This only applies to Ojou-sama Haru, you know, the one that got rewritten. Moeblob Haru is below makoto tier.
>>737507614How good is the soundtrack though
Persona 5 is 10 years old and they haven't even started drawing concept art for 6. No, they're remaking P4. Fuck Atlus.
>>737510931>No, they're remaking P4.And the dating sim content will still amount to 5 minutes per girl.
>>737511018Um, writing is very hard to do. We don't know how anymore. Please understand (and be excited!)
>>737507614>Go buy it.Bought
>>737511089>>737511018>>737510931cant blame them, the girls are as interesting as a sack of potatoes so theres no much you can write
>>737507614I'm sorely tempted, but Persona 5 released when I was in high school, and now I'm about to graduate from my Master's. Is it worth P5 playing now if I haven't played SMT since then?
>>737511287The problem is that they have to be autistically beholden to EXACTLY what they think the fanbase for these 15 year old characters expects. No new surprises for their personalities or lives, just more of the same. They literally can't write new things, because it "wouldn't feel right." These people would have a 2 hour meeting over how Chie likes her toast.
>>737507614When I think of Persona games I imagine a game where you're an average middle schooler and every girl is after you for no reason. I hate and despise these kind of stories.t. played a couple of hours of P4 and hated Chie for being so annoying and predictable, also hated how the red girl was after me for basically no reason.
>>737511287>>737511485Let's start with the fact that all of them follow the same pattern:>Japanese girls drawn/designed to look like white women, literally none of them look remotely Asian, much less Japanese.>All of them follow one of the handful of character archetypes already present in hundreds of manga and anime titles.No wonder the adult women are the most interesting - at least they're sometimes allowed to have SOME flaws and complications.
I've already sunk like 60 hours into a cracked version so far, if I pay up will the save game still be compatible?
>>737511962probably, depending how the engine works and how the save files are saved
>>737511247>Cringedom Sharts
>>737507614give it to me straight. I like JRPGs, but is this fun if you're not an incel?
denuvo
>>737512803Not really. Persona peaked at 3 because it was done with a clear vision and message, then everything after that became a power fantasy with a completely opposite philosophy.
>>737512803Persona is kinda retarded honestly, and every game overstays its welcome by like 50 hours.
>>737512803Gigachads and roasties literally play this.
>>737512803It's roughly a 50/50 split between a very stylish dungeon crawler with tons of gameplay options available to you (unfortunately so easy that you won't need them, but it's really fun if that's your jam) and anime highschool VN with time management aspects. If you have zero tolerance for the VN side you'll hate the game, if you're able to find it somewhat enjoyable as a breather between dungeon crawling sections you'll have a good time, if you love both aspects of the game it'll be a top 10 all time. Only you know what your sticking point is.
should i get persona 5 royal or 3 reolad? i never played any persona
>>737512803It's a spreadsheet stat management simulator. And I'm not talking about combat. I'm talking about the outside of combat "gameplay" (which will be 80% of your game time)
>>737513330Either way, both are excellent JRPGs.
>>737512803I never really played jrpgs but the first one I got was Persona 5 royal because I bough the deck and I really enjoyed it. It had me hooked right at the start when it reveals Arsene persona and the story starts to unfold. Liked the slice of life things and Jungian psychology themed story way more than the fighting system and luckily that could be gamed to make it easy
>>737513330Look up pics and vids to decide. Go for whichever you like better.Gameplay wise they have the same amount of QoL features, what changes is the characters, story and city.
>>737513330Reload as your first Persona would be better
>>737507614Why does this game make E33sissies, FFcultists, Xenoshit coomers and Falcomretards lose their minds?
>>737507614Is this the one with the reverse trap with huge boobs ?
>>737507614it's not even worth pirating
>>737513630no thats 4
>>737513614Why didn't your mom abort you after drinking so much?
>>737513614Sheer superiority
>>737513678Tell me which option struck your nerve.
Is Royal actually better than the original, or does it just bloat everything up?
>>737513614because it is not a game that deserves its praise, just like metaphor
>>737513770Royal and Golden are straight downgrades. Play the originals.
>>737513772But enough about E33 and Rebirth.
>>737513206>so easy>>737513459>"gameplay" (which will be 80% of your game time)I see, I guess that's a pass for me, then. thanks
>>737513925>samefagging this hard
>>737513953which posts were me?
>>737513693Cope
>>737507614Where's the director's cut edition?
>>737507614>game is eleven (11) years old>still costs over $10I FUCKING JEWS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>737514921You cried about it then Atlus will never do it again.
>>737507614why the hell is ann "half japanese"? that's straight up generic western blonde. the westernized anime people artstyle doesn't help a bit.why are these microdick slant eyed nerds so scared of having an nice and cool anglo girl in their setting for once? it wasn't like this in the past with popular animes.
>>737515249Why are you upset about it? Who cares dude.
>>737507614I never did Royals new content because there was no way i'd do another fucking 100 hour playthrough of this gameeven with P4 i only played the Marie bits YEARS later with the steam release
>>737516015Vanilla P5>Royal
>>737516182What did Royal even changed other than the new story bit with the Therapist
>>737507614pic unrelated?
>>737516182The theme song is better but otherwise no.
>>737516182Take Over > Last Surprise
>>737507614It's not the best of anything. It's a gay high school dating sim.
So I just got P5 Royal. I've never played a Persona game before, anything I should know or do before playing?
>>737515249Ann is pretty much a nice and cool white girl, they just cant have a 100% filthy gaijin on the team
>>737517235You'll have to deal with like an hour and a half of poorly paced mix of VN and tutorial before you get to actually play.It's the worst opening segment of the mainline 3D Persona games. It gets better afterwards, but I would not blame anyone who refunds the game because of it.
>>737516182You didn't play it>>737516327It's better in every way, new music, new Personas, more free time with much less "Go to bed, NOW", 2 new Confidants, the Thieves Den where you can play cards and see lots of promotional material and trailers ~etc, improved combat, more activities in both Metaverse and the real world, the list goes on...
Got my copy today
>>737517604>TacticaMy condolences. I love Person 5 and Royal but Tactics is pure diarrhea. Strikers is not bad.
>>737517204You queers just hate vidya dont you.
>>737516182>>737513847Shitposting brown retard
>>737517604RDR2 and P5R is greatEverything else in that pic is slop
>>737507614I bought it for $20 in December.
>>737517876RDR2 is woke tranny slop with 400ms of input lag
>>737507614I regret playing NG+ on Vanilla. I still feel burnt out from it and don't want to fuck with Royal years later
>>737515249Ann isn't even hapa. She's "1/4 American." They are that afraid of including a foreigner that they'd make up some ridiculous blonde, blue-eyed 75% Japanese girl. Japs are not a serious race. They're clowns.
>>737517981DQ has several SECONDS of input lag. The time it takes for you to input the action on your turns is literally just lag if it was a real time combat game.
>>737518212Take your meds, tranny. RDR2 has the highest input lag in AAA history
>>737515249>PANDER TO ME PANDER TO ME PANDER TO ME>INCLUDE ME>THIS GAME IS NOT DIVERSE ENOUGH!!!!!
>>737518286>anyone who enjoys video games is a tranny!Okay faggot
>>737518292Meanwhile nobody even wants to slightly reference your micronesian shithole. Must be tough. Can geography experts find it on a map?
>>737518356Enjoy your woke DEI slop with 400ms of input lag :3
>>737507614>already boughted from loadedit waas overed
I see Atlus is getting one final wave of money before the P6 announcement
>>737518397Can you find a city in your mutt society where whole months aren't used to mark worship periods for blacks and trannies?
>>737507614It's not that great. There are many jrpgs I'd rather replay than this. Persona games are okay timesink one and done games for me.
>>737518467>P6 announcementYou will pay $100 for P5 Royaler Edition before Atlus even remembers what original game development looks like.
>>737507614Not even top 5 ATLUS RPGs
Who are you damn hypocrites huur lusting after Diana bed lusting after 14 year olds in Persona good
>>737510931>Persona 5 is 10 years oldFuck, I hate reading stuff like this. Getting old is gay.
>>737518597>Brown amerimutt hands typed this
>>737518651Getting old didn't have to be gay. We're in a period of mammoth cultural stagnation. The very concept of "art" might be dying, and who knows what's next.
Great job Atlus!
>>737518597I like adult women.
>>737518775What does the NNN button do
>>737518815>>737518775>no nut november has it's own buttonHuh!?
>>737507663>>737507695It's a steam sale thread, retard-friends.
>>737513614>>737513693>>737513901It's weird, because even though it's clearly the E33 people who are seething it seems that you are the only ones who are talking about that topic.
>>737513614because almost every non-atlus jrpg fucking sucks
>>737517531Yeah it's kino. It's not like a western game where you start spamming skip because the characters have nothing of value to say.
>>737507614I don't want to play a DVD menu simulator. Why not play a good RPG like Pragmata?
>>737507614Lol nah
>>737518775QRD?
>>737518786based
I've been replaying P5R so I figured this is a good thread to ask, does the arcana bonus make a real difference when doing confidants?I try to keep a good spread of personae but whoever I'm talking to always seems to be the one I don't have, and having to go to the Velvet Room to summon some garbage is annoying.
>>737520716If you're trying to max out as many as you can, it's absolutely worth it. You get an extra point or two per interaction and that adds up very quickly. You can fast travel to the velvet room and buy literally any persona of that arcana, so there's no reason not to.
>>737521360Different anon: Is there any reason to hang out with people after level 10?
ny gf said yes to doing a futaba cosplay for me, but she said i have to do jokerid look extremely cringe but itd make her happyshould i bros
>>737507614But I already own it on switch.
>>737521474You can fug them
>>737521680put that trenchcoat onshe can only take a photo and embarrass you for the rest of your life
>>737521970If I'm trying to max out as many people as possible, is there even time for that?I'm in September, and just have Tae and Kawakami maxed.
>>737521680Dude, just have fun with your gf. My friends and I once stole our girlfriends' clothes and dressed up like them. We looked like trannies and we laughed our asses off.If I could do that you can dress like Joker no problem.
>>737507614No, still has denuvo.
>>737507614>DenuvoStay 4channer
>>737507614I've seen enough of it to say that the vibes are not good.
>>737519658It's funny when faglus cult members expose themselves for not actually like jrpgs.
>>737507614I've never played a persona game and barely know anything about them. All I know is that it's a meme that a gacha game that gets a persona collab quickly shuts down afterwards. Are they really great games or is it something you just had to be there for and like for nostalgia sake? Do I really need to play this shit? Would I miss out on something by starting with this one? What makes the series special compared to other great rpgs?
>>737528108The silence is deafening, guess it's a skip.
>>737527912yes i like hype moments and aura what about it>>737528108>>737529606just play it bro its good trust
>>737528108If you like 4 niggas in a row games, there's no reason to skip the Persona series. The battle mechanics are fun, the dungeons can be a slog, but P5 resolves a lot of those issues. The most stressful part for me is time management. The game has a mechanic that allows you only a few daily tasks before the calendar day passes, and you only have a certain amount of days before an important story event happens. So you have to plan your side quest activities properly.
>>737528108The appeal of the series for me has always been about balancing the life simulator elements with the dungeon crawler elements. You are trying to optimize how you spend your daily life so you can maximize your gains when you go dungeon crawling, and despite many games trying to copy the Persona calendar element most of them utterly fail at it because they don't do it day by day like Persona does.It's why I would really suggest not playing with anything like guides and just discover things naturally since a large part of the fun of the series is honestly just picking how you want to spend your time be it building up the protagonist's stats, hanging out with the various characters or doing dungeon crawling.The music is also very good, the style especially with P5 is fantastic, and the combat is very quick and snappy so battles never feel long or drawn out even though it is turn based.
>>737507614the worst persona. there's less forced reading in a VN
>>737507614it is at historical low I am certainly considering it
Why? Wasn't this already cracked like a year ago?
>>737507663Fpbp
>>737507614Which confidents should I prioritize first? I know about the bitch hag teacher perks.
>>737507614i've never played a JRPG before will I like it or enjoy the experience?
>>737533235The problem is imbalance. Both are lacking in some of what the other has but both double down on their one thing to the detriment of the whole. The west has to learn to embrace fanservice again and the east has to learn how to tell a story that isn't centered around high school again.
>>737507614That's still six cents an hour. I'll wait until it's four cents.
the game mechanics in this sort of jrpg are just a time waste
>>737533419>The west has to learn to embrace fanservice againI don’t think that’s a problem. To be honest modern RPGs like BG3 and Owlcat’s games actually have far too much fan service. And even older RPGs had plenty of it. Morrowind had Khajiit wife, Lusty Argonian Maid and Crassius CurioAnd JRPGs have far more issues than just being about high school
>>737507614Why? Aren't these persona games basically relive the high school experience you never had games?
