Topic	Board 8 #sports Discord Ranks Their Top 100 Video Games Finale: THE TOP 10
Arti 03/19/21 5:12:21 AM #140:	#3 - Persona 5 (PS4, 2017) I hold the very uncommon opinion of ranking the modern Persona titles as such: 5 > 3 > 4, and have posted as such many times over the last few years, so those that remember that probably expected to see this high on my list! Where Persona 5 excels is mostly in its writing. The story itself isn't that much of an improvement over previous titles, but the social links... er, confidants are some of the best the series has to offer. Unlike the past titles, which have a few boring ones mixed in with the more interesting ones, I feel Persona 5 actually did a great job of making every confidant storyline interesting enough to make it worth raising every one to the end. Considering this is already pretty much half of the game by itself, it's a welcome addition. In battle, Persona 5 also ditches the shadows of prior games in the series, and replaces them with the Shin Megami Tensei demons that are much more well known. No need to guess five or so times to find the weakness of Shadow A and ending up dead before you can figure it out. This also brought back demon negotiation to the Persona series which was not present since the Persona 2 duology. It's pretty much the same as any SMT title so I won't be going into specifics here. There's a lot more strategy that can be used within battles with baton passing and various gun skills that get unlocked throughout the game. It's probably the best battle system of any of the Shin Megami Tensei or Persona titles that are out there now. Exploration is also changed with the Palaces that are now the main dungeons of the game - instead of a randomized dungeon the palaces are instead actual, static dungeons based on a place visited in the story. This allows for more story within the palaces themselves, and makes the dungeon crawling a much more exciting part of the game. There are some annoyances with the exploration in some of the later dungeons, but it's not that big of a deal in the end. In short, Persona 5 is an amazing video game, and the long wait definitely paid off as it managed to fit and exceed what I expected it to be. I haven't played Royal yet, but I am playing Strikers now and it's definitely a treat to see all these characters again - kind of missed them a bit! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XD-OFP-0H5g --- http://backloggery.com/articuno2001/sig.gif azuarc may not know the strength of songs in VGMC, but he conquered the guru in Game of the Decade 2!
