Really? Good luck in Japan! J'aimerais bien y aller, mais je n'ai pas assez d'argent !

Merci !

Mais je n'ai pas beaucoup d'argent non plus, je vais travailler après les cours ^^

Tu étudies où? J'assume à Tokyo?

A Hachioji, en banlieue ouest de Tokyo! C'est mieux à mon avis, parce que le centre de Tokyo est trop cher pour le logement :/

It's not my first time there because I had a one-month internship there almost 10 years ago ^^. But it will be the first time I'll stay a year or more. I'll more accurately live in Hachioji, in Tokyo suburbs, but I'll obviously go to Tokyo frequently to compare with the game. I'll have roommates and I don't know how the appartment will be yet, but if possible, we'll get a PS4 too :D

Oh, nice. Don't think I ever checked out that area. The closest was probably when I stayed in Kichijoji for a while. There's so much to see in Japan. If you find the time and if you haven't visited Kyoto already, that's one city I'd definitely recommend. =p

I went to Kyoto last time, but only for a couple of days so I obviously missed a lot, I'll have to go back one day.

 

I started the game, and it begins exactly the day I'll arrive in Japan, nice little meaningless nod :D



Great year to be a gamer

I went for 18 days, Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara.  So many great places to go, so little time. TBH, I liked Osaka the best.

 

OT: This game will be downloading in 7 hours :)))) Can't wait.

Jesus, that's a high score. Actually, what is it that makes persona so special? Why does it score so much higher than virtually every other jrpg series?

1. Story is fantastic. Theres depth to it often, highlighting issues within society.

2. Characters are well developed, good Dialogue & humor.

3.  Balanceing act, of developeing your social links /  status attributes / combat items (weapons,armor,accessories).

4. Soundtracks, usually these games last forever (100+hours) so you ll be listening to these songs alot, it sticks with you afterwards.

5. Good unlockables, farming is fun/rewarding, melding persona's can be fun too (theres days where you get extra traits/bonus's).

6. Love intrests, you can try and win over the girl you like most.

7. Gives a "fun" look into how things are in japan.

 

Theres a certain "feel" to the game, its own identity. The art style is great.

That's quite a list.  It's kind of weird to see a series that (to me)  looks somewhat unspectacular s consistently score so highly among players and reviewers. Just judging by how loved the games are,  they must absolutely excell at all those things. Happy to hear it has a good soundtrack too. The music can sometimes make all the difference,  especially in an RPG.

 I've been meaning to try the series for a while,  but I've never really had the chance. Are the games stories connected?  Can I just jump right into p5, or would i need to play p4 first?

I'd want to go to Sapporo if I went. Apparently it snows quite a bit there, and I really like snow!

They are like FF in the story department.Each one is self contained, even though they exist in the same universe(same world, actually), and have little nods eher and there to past games, like easter eggs, but you can jump right into P5 if you want.

Having said that, if you have the time and patience, I really recommend by starting with P3 first.It was the first Persona game that trully stand out in my opinion and the one that defined what a Persona game is today.And it get progressivelly better, as in P4 is better than P3 and P5 is, hopefuly, better than P4.

If you like RPGs, this franchise is a must-play.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

You can play any main game you want, they're not really connected. Same structure and officially in the same storyline (I think), a couple of support characters are the same in every game, and you could get a cameo from a past game (there is a small P3 cameo in P4, I don't know for P5). That's it, so you can jump right into P5 without knowing anything about P4.

It's not true for some spin-off games though (Persona Q and the fighting games Arena and Ultimax), because those games are P3/P4 crossovers.



I was going to wait on this but I can't, pre-ordered a copy. Can't wait to play it tomorrow.
