Before I bought it, I started playing it at my brothers house. I started getting into it last weeked, and wow, this game is pretty great. Probably top 2 turned based rpgs I've ever played (I can't think of a better one right now).

It combines the best things of the persona series, and made it more like the SMT main games.

I could never get over the stylistic design choices. It feels like something an edgelord teenager or Suda51 would think is awesome, which just makes me cringe right down to my toes.

Not that I'd necessarily like it even without that, but I'll never know because I can't really get past the visuals enough to even look into how the mechanics and story play out. Though my general growing distaste for JRPGs in general over the last 15 years or so probably wouldn't help in that scenario regardless.

Persona 5 honestly reminds me of a comic book. I don't think this game is too "edgy" like maybe some other jrpgs

I can already tell that this game is gonna be a long one (70 hrs), so I understand that you may not want to invest the time in it.

I will say that the SMT series probably has someof the best pure turned based battle system (so excluding things like mario and luigi, where you have to input commands to dodge attacks during your turn) of any series that I can think of off the top of my head.

I'm glad they toned down the ultra sappiness from P4 and it's spinoffs, as much as I liked it sometimes that game made me want to vomit. Hopefully they keep it that way.

Also thank god they added more elements and let Light/Dark have straight damage spells.

I've heard the same about this series and got P4 Golden for the Vita. I just can't bring myself to jump into an RPG though. Used to love them, played many of the classics. Now I feel weird if I can't complete a game in a week or so. 20 hours is my sweet spot. Hopefully someday.

I'm the opposite. I don't buy games now unless they're huge epics or endlessly replayable.

There was a time when I was ok spending 60-80 hours on a game. Hell I bred a gold chocobo and split the KotR materia in FF7 to beat Emerald Weapon. Nowadays there's so much great content in VR or indies that I'm fine with well-made shorter games. Got so many of them that my backlog has grown to multiple shelves which I can't keep up with the way it is. The unfortunate side effect is I end up skipping things like Skyrim, Fallout, or Witcher due to time investments. I consider the GTA's and AC's middle ground where I could spend a week to get the main content and side missions finished, and not worry about the online or collectible stuff.

What else can I do? I've given up doing other stuff to focus on gaming. Not crazy enough to stop working or not sleep of course.

Was my first Persona game and i liked it a lot as well and will gladly get 6 whenever they make it. Didnt care for the soundtrack though. Only liked 3 songs.

P5 is one of the best games I've ever played.
It's such a unique experience.
Everything about the game is basically perfect.
From the UI, to the music, to the sound. It's all fantastic.

Great game would play again.

I don't really care how much of a time investment a game is, or what I'm potentially missing in the meantime; my policy is time enjoyed is time not wasted. The only thing I usually have a problem with is starting a big game.

Watch any TV show/movie once or twice a week instead of gaming that day.

It's the summer, there's nothing on. The couple shows I watch should be back later. Then they're only half an hour so that's not gonna fill a day.

Just play a game when you can.

I generally don't watch it. I have a shitload to catch up on when I do. I have about 40 total episodes of Arrowverse shows to watch which will take forever.

Really good game and it was my first Persona game. Glad I decided to take the plunge and buy it. I'd say Witcher 3 is better though.

Only Persona 5 isn't a exclusive. I'd still say God of War is the best exclusive the PS4 currently has.

Well, they're not called demons in the game (at least where I'm at).

I played it for a bit on PS3 & thought it was a boring slog.

How far did you get? The first maybe 3-4 hours were in the boring side to me
