Out of these four, easily Persona 5.Outside of Nier though, you cant go really wrong.And remember, DQ XI is also comming, so there is tgat one too.

Interesting, most here seem highly in favor of Nier. Why did you not like it if I can ask? 

Mostly from a severe pacing issue.If I go into details, I mkight end up spoiling a couple of things, so lets just say that you end up replaying a mounstrous ammount of things that you have to go through, and the gameplay is way less fun than in act 1 or 3.

But thats not the only problem, even if the other issues are mostly tied to that first one.The game was obviously budget restrained, so much so that the game is too small for what it tries to achieve, so you end up going through some places alot of times, and that gets in the way.And its not RE kind of backtrack, which is fun.Other thing is that it could have used a better overall plot, though the narrative is excellent.In this instance, you could say the narrative is the whole point of the story, but it didnt fully click with me.

I have some other smaller issues with the game, but they are mostly minor.Having said this, its still a good game, just not in the same league as the others you have mentioned.

Edit:To give an example of who bad the pacing issue is in that part of the game, think Bravely Default late game.Yeah, its that bad.But overall its a good game, just like Bravely Default.
