The title says it all. I know nothing about Persona other than people loved the latest video game.

None of the previous Persona games have any connection to Persona 5 so you can watch the anime without worrying about missing something important.

You are welcome to watch without any previous titles.
I know that many people keep saying the same thing "Play the game instead," and I will encourage you to do so, not because the game is great and perhaps the GOTY of 2017. But because it is possible one of the easiest to get into JRPGs. You will get sucked in very easily without any previous experience.

Maybe learn a bit about the concept of persona? That’s all I can think of :P

There might be references to other Persona games but it is mostly fan service to fans who played the older games.

Following the trend of previous Persona anime, you'll likely be able to understand the base plot pretty well. To be able to understand smaller things like certain character backgrounds and lore/mechanics of how some things work, you will need to play the game.

Imo this is meant for people who have already played the game, I don't think it will stand on its own as an anime, you'll miss too many things that makes this series great.

Missed my point completely, I've watched Persona 4 Animation long time ago before playing the game and it was boring as hell, as I've said before anime adapted from games don't stand on their own.

Nope but you need to play Persona 5.
Why?

Well because Things might be cut or not done well in the anime.
AND ABOVE ALL BECAUSE IT IS A GREAT GAME, SIMPLY ONE OF THE BEST GAMES OF 2017

Naturally, no adaption can capture 100% of the original source, its impossible. Doesn't mean they can't watch or enjoy the adaption,just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean its the same for everyone else.

Man, do you have a poor reading comprehension or what? Where did I say that you CAN'T watch it before playing the game? I implied that they make anime versions of these games because a lot of fans would like to see some of their favorite parts from the game animated, that's the target audience, IN MY OPINION. So what I meant is that it would be BETTER to play the game before watching the show, not that he CAN'T watch it now.

To anyone who's saying that P4 Golden is better than P5, you're wrong. P5 was released and got heavily praised, it was nominated as a GOTY, it won as the BEST RPG game of 2017, and unlike the P4 they didn't milked the game just to gain popularity, it will get milked eventually...

First of all, opinion differs person to person so you cannot use strong words by saying oo this is wrong everyone should follow my taste lmao.

Two, I played P5 first and loved it, then played P4 and P4G and I loved it way more that P5.

P4 and P4G were also heavily praised and got awards and nominated game of the year twice and also best RPG of all time till this day. Heck, P4 got more awards in its time then p5 in its time.

Plus, I guess you have not played 4 mate, give it a try, especially golden.

IN MY OPINION, I so much prefer P4G over P5, the one thing I do must say p5 did better and stood out is battle mechanics and dungeons, but I do like the traditional style in 4.

Now, will you excuse me as I will wait for myself getting yelled at ty.
