| Dante9 said: The Persona series has always repelled me for some reason and I haven't felt like getting my hands on it, but this game seems oddly intriguing. I might have to try this. Assuming I can get past the protagonist being a typical super young girly boy as per usual with these things. What is it, a Japanese fetish or something? What's wrong with grown ass people who look like they could actually take a hit or two in real life? |
Yep, I'm the same. I love Persona for the gameplay and the calander system and RPG progression but tolerate the characters and the setting. I have to say, the characters in this are a lot more matured and the main character as girly as he looks feels more mature for being around them. This game takes almost everything I hate about Persona, throws it out the window and focuses on everything that good, it's quite remarkable but I'm only 14 hours in (and like 8 hours with the demo)
The few things I hate still is the difficulty curving sharply upwards all of a sudden which seems I now have to go grinding or bruise my ego and lower the difficulty among a few other small things like fast forwarding the story from a save file if you fuck up is WAY faster but it's still not instant and quite annoying and lots of loading screens on ps4 from scene to scene. Also, this "press turn" system which can turn into trial and error in many fights and it's not definitive when you will regain turn points and nothing on turn points is explained at all so it feels like it's all wishy washy. They do have "informants" which will help you know in advance what party setup or spells to use but they don't have them for everything.
All in all I'd recommend gamers who were intrigued by atlus games or people who have just dipped there toes in, in the past. I'm the latter and loving this game, it's very addicting.
