You're kidding, right? The game has more than the anime could ever hope to offer. Why do you think people who never played Tales of the Abyss (or any Tales game) were so confused with certain aspects of the animes for Tales series? They're not the same. Basic plot and character wise, maybe. But animes for games NEVER go into the depth of what the games have to offer. So, no. They're not 'slightly different'. They're VASTLY different. |

rafaelhwk said: Jokes on you, OP. I was going to buy Persona 5 last year when I saw it on sale at Best Buy, but decided not to. Now I'm about to watch the first episode and proceed to bombard the discussion thread with questions. Who's the real loser now? You for not 'getting gud' and buying the game when you should have. Time to bust out that PS4, buddy. |

| The anime has less detail and faster pacing than the game, yeah, but it's the same story? It isn't some puzzle you can only figure out if you've played the game. In my opinion I think playing the game is better than watching the anime but I'm not going to criticize people who are only watching the anime. That's like saying you can't watch an anime if you haven't read the manga or light novel it was based off of. |
| wew, thats the stupidest thread ive seen this week. |
 |
| I watch it bc I hardly play the games I do have :p |
Ahegyao said: Knowing that they will likely be lost and will keep asking questions here? It's an exercise in futility. Game adaptations are for the people who've played the source already. Not wasting money on a PS4 for a handfull of games, story is easy to follow so i don't get your point. A failed attempt at elitism, sad development for the anime comunity right here folks! |
 |
| Because not everyone is rolling in money. |
| Lock this thread already. The OP made the stupidest point I've seen in a while and this is MAL we're talking about. |

| That's like saying "Why are you watching X anime if you haven't read the light novel/manga ?" |
| All you can do is hope that people will play the game afterward at least. The thing that bothers me the most is that people will judge Persona 5 from this anime, which isn't bad by any means. It's just that it seems like it's enjoyed the way it's supposed to be if you've played the game already. |

| Main reason: Futaba Other reasons: I've watched every single persona anime & i love them. Love the style, designs, etc. |
 |
| Lots of anime is from manga , VN, LN , games , if they never played / read so they basically dont watch any anime at all You dont need to know the source before watching the manga , and what is the problem with questioning |
| +1 for everything above. I don't own a PS4 and won't be able to for the foreseeable future. I would rather play legally than illegally via emulator. The anime has been fun so far. Episode 1 was admittedly pretty confusing, but so far I understand what's going on. I want to play the game now. Fair enough? The anime basically did its job for me: being entertaining while promoting game content. Spoilers have never and will never bother me so that’s not really a problem for when I get to the games. |

| i watched p4's anime before finishing the game because my copy stopped working in kanji's dungeon for some reason and i didn't find it to buy anywhere else i guess i'm a poser? :/ |
 |
| As someone who never bothered to play the actual game (my knowledge of the game comes from reading all the Persona 5 stuffs at Megami Tensei wiki, plus I'm too broke to even own a PS3 or a PS4), this anime follows pretty close to the original source. I can understand the gist of it since I'm quite familiar with the Persona universe. All I can say that this anime is pretty good for starters. Who knows? They might pick up the game after watching the anime, at least that's what happened to me after watching Persona 4 the Animation. |
| important question! I'm a big fan of Persona games but I'm so poor I can't afford a PS3 or PS4. If I watch this anime, would that be a major spoiler if I play Persona 5 someday in the future? Sorry for the bad english |
 |
Gazz said: If I watch this anime, would that be a major spoiler if I play Persona 5 someday in the future? Well the anime is currently following the game so if that's what you'd call a major spoiler then yes It may go its own way later on, but that won't happen until some spoiler stuff happens anyway |
 |
| Game adaptations are only for people that played the game? No. Having knowledge of the game helps, but anyone can watch this tho. |
 |
| Because people go into it expecting the anime to be able to stand on its own as an adaptation. That's not too much to ask for, and that's how it should be. An adaptation isn't supposed to be a fanservice for the people who are familiar with the source material. That's what you call a shitty adaptation. |
