With the recent announcement of Persona 5, I'm curious to find out what aspect of the game fans are looking forward to the most. The great thing about the Persona series is that every aspect is great, aside from maybe the dungeon crawling, but what are you most hyped for?
1. Characters/Social Links:
What's not to love about the characters from P3/P4 with their playful banter, comedic moments and charming personalities? I've combined social links with characters since the main characters play a vital role to the social links. You can learn more about their backstory ,and there's also a bunch of NPCs with interesting stories to be discovered through the social links.
2. Story
Gripping, well-written, memorable. These words come to mind whenever I want to describe P3/P4 stories. The great thing about their stories is that they're mostly unique and don't really fall into cliches. Sure the pacing is terrible, but doesn't impact the greatness of the story.
3. Soundtrack
'Nuff said
4. Reliving high school
Pretty much the daytime part of the game: going to school, hanging with friends, doing a bunch of activies, going to trips, etc. I for one loved high school, and this is about as close to experiencing high school again. Sure high school wasn't as fun as this, but it did bring back some memories.
5. Your future waifu
Don't tell me you're not looking forward to this :p There's always a girl that catches our attention at first sight, and from that moment, we know who to hit on. Mitsure is mine btw.
6. Gameplay
Ha! Yeah right! Nobody plays Persona for the gameplay. :p I'm kidding; kind of. Anyways, while most JRPGs nowadays are trying to adapt their battle systems into something more modern, Persona utilizes the traditional turn-based system with a few twists which makes the gameplay fresh, strategic, and at times, challenging. As for the dungeons, they are connected to either the story or character, so they aren't just some random corridor. They are integrated to the theme of the story which is a nice touch.
