Never played a Persona game. Seems very anime-ish but Im gonna try to have an open mind about it.

All I know so far is that its a game where you have to perform duties as a husband and father, but you are secretly an octopus.

So the game told me the story is a work of fiction and allowed me to agree/disagree. I disagreed and it took me back to the title screen.

You really need to master the building mechanics to succeed in the game. I enjoy watching the pros on twitch play all the time

I hope I can use my save data from the original game and do a new game plus when Royal comes out. I want to focus on the social links (or "confidants" in this game), not upping my social stats. Unless you follow a guide, it's pretty much impossible to finish all the social links on the first playthough of a Persona game. I already played through the vanilla Persona 5 twice. Don't feel like playing through Royal twice too.

As someone who hates 98% of anime Persona/SMT games are the exception, unless it's Persona Q or the dancing games.

I could go on about it all day but my biggest issue was the extreme butchering of characters in the name of "fanservice", nearly all of them constantly acted OOC to an absurd degree. I also hated the First person dungeons and puzzles felt more like tedious padding than anything else. Battle mechanics were too easy to exploit, like poison scaling off of enemy's health so it would chunk a 5000 health boss for 500.

I haven't played Q2 but after the abomination that was 1 I don't want to.

Seems very anime-ish but Im gonna try to have an open mind about it.

For all the praise Persona 5 gets, I've never been able to even think about playing it. The design aesthetic is such a huge turn-off for me.

Maybe it's just a case of grandpa hating what the kids find hip, but it feels like the ethos of the game was to make all of the menus and interfaces unnecessarily in your face, like it's trying way too hard to be cool and kind of edgy - and it just sort of winds up looking embarrassingly lame and kind of ugly. Granted, that's an extremely petty reason to avoid a game (maybe even worse than "The graphics aren't cutting edge enough!", but it's mostly discouraging because it makes me assume the game's overall narrative and writing are going to be the same sort of style, and narrative is like 90% of a game for me at this point.

It kind of reminds me of Suda51 games in that respect... and that's not a compliment. "Hey, look at how rebellious and artsy I am!" has never really been a strong selling point for me.

Nor does it help that it seems "aggressively Japanese" (ie, a lot of focus on modern Japanese pop culture, which is less appealing if you're not a weeb).

But I also freely admit this is almost entirely based on advertising and hearing other people talk about the game. I've never played it (and never even watched a Let's Play or anything), so I could be entirely off-base.

One of my all-time favorite JRPGs. Between the missus and myself, we've piled 400+ hours into it across multiple playthroughs, but we've been fans since the old days of the series (P1 for me, P3 for her).

Eeeh, I've heard better (mostly just in FFXIV. If you've not heard that games soundtrack, listen to the Trial songs. Lakshmi, Byakko, and Titania to name a few. Yes I intentionally named what's also in Persona).

So I think Im really getting into the gameplay now

The whole persona capturing/executing thing is pretty fun, kinda reminds me of pokemon a bit. Most of the Persona I can fuse end up being too high level for me though which is a bummer.

I wish they gave you more time each day to do stuff. After school I can usually do one thing in town and then one thing back at the coffee shop and then the day is over

Counterpoint - the soundtrack is terrible (not to my taste). Especially the main battle song, I listened to Spotify most of the time I played and I rarely do that with this type of game.

Switch is eventually getting Shin Megami Tensei V, as well as Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore, which is Persona-ish, but ... not quite. I'd wait for reviews on that one, especially if you're not a Fire Emblem fan.

focus on the temperance social link.

you'll get the ability to do another activity at night from it

also, futaba is best girl, but becky?

becky is close.

that social link also pissed me off a little, too. "oh, i need money for blah blah blah or they're gonna murder me oh boo hoo" or something, i forget what the reason is. but it's like, I HAVE 13 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU NEED. JUST LET ME GIVE IT TO HER
