 This game will mark the end of the crazy Japanese game season of 2017. From Yakuza 0 to Nioh to Resident Evil 7 to Breath of the Wild to Nier: Automata, this has been one wild ride that has finally brought something fresh to the game industry.Now, we're only 13 days from the release date of Persona 5 for filthy EoPs (like me) that want to play the game in English. Discuss everything Persona related. Keep the Chie/Yukiko posting to a minimum though, because nobody cares about those bland boring shitters. |

| My only concern is the writing, since graphically and gameplay wise seems like an improvement. I don't mean the (obvious as hell) traitor or Igor twists, I mean the actual dialog and character development. That made Persona 4 absolutely unbearable, with the only saving grace being Adachi and best waifu Naoto. Doubt this will beat Nocturne or SJ though, those games are on a league of their own compared to the rest of the series. |
worldeditor11 said: I don't like Persona. Yeah. Me too (kinda). I was former fan of Persona. Right now, I decided to boycott ATLUS including Persona 5 since 2012 for what reasons, ATLUS banned me in their forums and their official Facebook page. I'm not buying it from ATLUS games. Not buying Persona 5. I don't want to be hypocrite unless we needs to negotiate, dispute and debate such as accept the ban appeal and few issues. |

Doubt this will beat Nocturne or SJ though, those games are on a league of their own compared to the rest of the series. But apparently Chie's design inspired the team to "change" the direction of the game drastically. From concepts to story to setting to atmosphere until it became what Persona 4 currently is now. Point is, Chiefaggotry literally ruined everything. I've grown to accept it anyways, I just want the gorgeous graphics and music now. |

| I've heard some of the tracks already, that shit is boppin. The menu screens have me weirdly excited too. Gonna go for the Japanese voices on this one considering they delayed it an extra two months just to get them in. I mean they have the voice of fucking Char in it, like I have to hear this. |

| Pre-ordering and taking a week off work to play, hopefully. Been avoiding any topic about it I could til now to avoid spoilers. |
| Definitely gonna be pre-ordering it sometime soon. So fucking hyped. |
Take care of yourself |
| So, how do I emulate this game? PS I have never played a single title and would like some guidance. Do I also need to play Devil Survivor or whatever other shit in the SMT franchise or can I just jump straight to Persona 5? |

You don't need to play any other games in the franchise. All different stories. |

Reminder that Kawakami-sensei is best girl. |

| Persona 5 is the worst game to come out in decades. I'm totally not even looking forward to it. |
| Back off she's mine |
|
| 12 more days till the entire reason why I got a PS4 arrives |
 |
| Did you boys order the steel book and hearts editions or are you regular version peasants? |

Baka! It's not that I'm looking forward to it or anything! Don't be mistaken! PeenusWeenusCaim said: Total $0.00 wtf. |
| The reason why it's like that is too complex for human understanding. |
|
| My true valentine is almost here :D |
| I will get the standard edition, the controller skin convinved me. |
+1 for that my friend. |
| Meh. The game isn't gonna be as good as Persona 4, so what's the point? The characters are annoying and shit, especially when compared to Kanji and Yukiko. The story is weak, and it doesn't deal with the moral complexity of what's going on well. |

| lol no "I'm a tough guy! ... but a marshmallow on the inside" is as generic and boring a character you can get. A good character would be someone like Ai Ebihara. |
|
| I'm on the edge with this game really. Never played a persona game before and when I watch the trailers/gameplays I get confused. Don't want to watch too much cause I might get spoiled. But I've always considered myself to have an average taste when it comes to games and anime. Most of the time what the majority like, I like too. Didn't go well with Bloodborne though. But anyway I will probably buy this too once I get to know more about it and find out myself what the fuss is all about and though I'm not rushing cause I have quite a few backlogs already. |

The real in-depth look at gender roles in Japanese society and how they've affected him is where the breadth of his character comes from. You really didn't pay attention to his character, did you? |

Meh. Ai was always one of those weirdo S.Links. She was someone who you never really wanted to hang with, like that fat guy in Persona 3, or the Magician asshole in Persona 3. (Not Junpei. Junpei sucks, though.) Yukiko's issues are very relatable. She feels trapped by a familial duty, and as a result, she longs for freedom in the form of an occupation to make her own. She eventually realizes that there's always a choice, and as a result, she chooses to stay and help the people that matter to her. |

She's tsundere at first but once you get through to her she's your love for life. My favorite part was when she says "You thought I'd make you chocolates? Sorry but I just bought these." It makes her sound like such a huge jerk, but then she tells you how important that particular brand is to her and it turns out it was the best valentine's chocolates you could have gotten. |

I was at one point, actually. Now my dad tells me that I'm not good enough to do so. |

| Got nothing against Yukiko (love all dem P4 girls), but Ai was certainly a surprise. A stuck-up looking girl that revealed herself as the most complex character in the game. Kudos there Atlus. |

Dragonage2ftw said: Ai is one of those few characters in the game that doesn't actually have a desire to suck MC's dick by the first meeting. She's a great character that literally does open up the more and more you get to know her. And the lover -> friend/friend -> lover decision was perfectly handled. Thrashinuva said: How do you defend Yukiko though? And Ai is a good character. Meh. Ai was always one of those weirdo S.Links.

Link is inherently better. It's trash. Keisuke Hiraga's S. link in Persona 3 is relatable to me and almost a word for word copy of my entire high school struggle, but I still thought it was mediocre. |

Stop right there, bro. Kenji SL it's true that it wasn't the best and his struggle was kinda stupid. But I really wanted to hang out with the guy, he is like a real friend they always came out with some goofy problem and you are just like "whatever, dude" "if it's okay for you it's okay for me" and when things get serious you really get serious and acompany him in his struggle. It was only of the SL that wasn't about some really depressing stuff (I think Emperor, Strenght, Priesstess and Fortune are the only ones with some fun). |
