Yep, and thanks to that Atlus is going to milk that game to death. Expect a visual novel, a rhtym game, 2 movies, 3 anime series, a remake, merchandise, manga, and whatever Atlus can think of.

Awesome, I shall buy it all =D

You are doing it wrong. You should be complaining about Atlus for milking the Persona series and leaving the SMT series alone.

Ive never even played a SMT game outside of Persona =P

Indeed you never played a SMT game. Because contrary to popular belief, the Persona series only bears the name SMT outside of Japan. In japan it's called Megami Ibonroku. So technically you never played a SMT game.

This comment hurts my soul.

Srsly, you should play an SMT game. They focus less on human interaction than Persona and focus more on demons but damn, they are fun games. Not to mention the alignment system increases replay value.

Opinions on SMT4 in comparison to the rest of the series.

I hated SMT4 so much that I stopped playing it completely. For me to dislike a JRPG so heavily is quite a feat.

Well... for a first version yes, it has a good chance.

Out of curiosity, what you don't like about SMT4? I tought it was a great game, its not better than nocturne or DDS  but still great.

 

OP: Yeah, it will be probably the best selling persona game, and to that extent the best-selling smt (altough persona is not a SMT game in Japan anymore)

I have no idea of how much the other Personas sold, but I think Persona 5 will do these numbers:
- PS4: 2 million and 1 (mine).
- PS3: 500k.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I didn't find it fun or enjoyable. I played it for about 2 hours and felt so incredibly disconnected. I also heavily disliked a lot of the mechanics with the conversation system, recruiting, and interaction with NPCs/enemies in dungeons.

It needs a Vita version to break selling records.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

The first five hours or so are kinda lame, but once you get to Tokyo the game improves significantly. But if you had gripes with the recruiting and conversation system I'm afraid what you see is what you get.
