Few friends on Sega discord said Persona 5 is not better than Persona 4 though Persona 4 has Rise Kujikawa doing things that is super annoying to most and rather just play Chrono trigger again instead of persona 4? Checks few users review of Persona 4 in Vgchartz I studied I like them reviews too.



Persona 5 is my first Persona game and im 30ish hours into it. This game has caused me to laugh.... A LOT. Not sure about what other people think, nor do I know what the metacritic score. I also never watched any reviews on youtube. All my cosplaying friends in KL love the game. So I some trailers and thought it looked super fun.

So I got it, and for me... I its already my second favorite jprg, only behind FF7. It's also my favorite game for this year, I love it and so far would give an A+. The style is fantastic

Hugs, I like this though you should try Vagrant Story and Xenogears on PS1 if you tried both try comparing those to Persona 5?

I beat Xenogears, really liked it, but I played it in 2006? I think, I never played vagrant story. However, I have beaten all the FF games, as those were the only games I really played for a long time. My first RPG was FF7 which I played it many years after its release, so it has a soft spot in my heart.

with all that said, what I really like about Persona 5 is...

1. The writing is super good (very funny and reminds me of when I was in school in China, I live in Malaysia now)
2. The story is not your typical save the world or war story.
3. The art style is top-notch 100%.
4. The music is soo soooooo good.

It's a good game but it has severe pacing issues. It has the most production value and is undoubtedly the most successful, but I think Persona 4 tells a better story. I feel Tokyo Mirage Sessions has better dungeons. I did finish P5 twice once as Vanilla and the other as Royal. I also finished Strikers twice on Switch and PS4. I do like P5 but people overrate it a bit.I feel the dungeons and pacing bring it down a couple of notches.

I beat Xenogears, really liked it, but I played it in 2006? I think, I never played vagrant story. I have played through all the final fantasy games, with the exception of 14. P5 is greater than them all.

I never played Final Fantasy 14 or several other Final Fantasy, I didn't know Persona 5 is greater than Final Fantasy 6 and 10? As well? Maybe others think same Persona 5 > Final Fantasy 6 and 8, 9, 10?



I know many people rave about 6. But when I first played that game it was already after 2005, and I personally like 5 more than 6. I think FF10 was so so

#1 FF7
#2 FF5
#3 FF8

#14 FF II

*never played XIV

After my top 5 I think all the FF games have major issues that bother me. Sometimes the combat system will be fantastic, but the character design is not good. For example, I highly enjoy 12. I did all the side bosses etc, But I hated, hated Vaan’s character design and the cast of characters was very meh. FF10 and 13 I think are kinda tied. I did not like the world of Spira but really liked Cocoon. However, FF10 characters are lot more developed. Both games are very linear.

Edit: BTW, FFT > all final fantasy with the exception of VII
