It like a regular jrpg, correct? Not one of those tactical ones where you can only move a few squares at a time?

It plays mostly as a dungeon crawler, it's turn-based and not a strategy game.
It's also a bit of a life simulator, you have to go to school and manage your relationships with other characters (which is how you improve your abilities, as the social links levels are what give access to higher tier Personas, that also make it a monsters collection game).

It's like Digimon + The Sims, but dark and all based on Japanese culture.
It's really good.

Cool, i'll definitely check it out then. I like pretty much all rpg's, except for the tactical ones, that i menationed above. Thanks for the clarity.

I'm sure that Persona 5 will be the best selling of the series.

It's not that they don't sell, it's that to make a game as big as FFXV for example, you need to sell lots. If that game sells 5M it would be a failure. So if you want big, Turn-based it's a big nope, in fact I think FFs half-assed solutions are a big mistake, they're trying to please everyone and will probably fail. Everything in that game looks amazing, except the battle system which looks meh. I think Square needs to either go full Action RPG with FF or lower their scope and return to Turn-based.

Anyways I don't see what's so good about Turn-based, I always thought RPGs were like that because of hardware limitations and we played them in spite of that, and since Action RPGs battle system were also terrible it didn't matter. To my surprise about 5 years ago I found out that people actually enjoy Turn-based.

But in my case, after playing Demons' Souls and Dragon's Dogma, I just can't play Turn-based RPGs anymore, except maybe Persona but that's because you don't have to grind at all but it's still challenging on the hardest difficulty, I never re-visit floors on Persona and beat all through the dungeon boss in one go. Basically in Persona dungeon-crawling is only like 20% of the game, still the worst part of the game, in others RPGs is like 50% of the game and extremely boring and super repetitive.

I still like Tactic RPGs a lot though.

UC4 still in the top 20. Something doesn't feel quite right about the way these consoles are jumping up or dropping down in such large amounts.

They can definitely still sell well. It's just, imo, alot of them have become stale and have nothing to really set them apart from the others, like the plethora of shooters.
