The Playstation Access channel has a pretty great "Persona for beginners" video up and watching that made me have some sense of the game, so new comers should check that out.


Looks like it's getting some pretty damn high scores across the board ... Cant wait to give it a shot when it releases.

I tried asking this but is it a good game to me if I like final fantasy and anime? for those who played p1-4. iahvent touched this series at all.

looking good in the reviews so far

yes

[speedyclaxton]

I think Persona is an overrated series. Cringeworthy dialogue, story, ****ty environment.

Good for sony I guess.

Just read that this game has no Pro patch and runs at a locked 30 ... Bit disappointing, doesnt seem like a very demanding game that you cant take it to 60fps or maybe an unlocked framerate

[gbullock32]

If this provides feels like P4 than it will be amazing.

Nanako!

thats very odd its only 30 fps

but fps didn't impact the ratings similar to how 30 fps zelda didn't impact its ratings

great games are great games.

Yeah of course, I'm a console peasant so 30 fps or even dropped frames here and there are fine ... But considering we now have the Pro and have been promised enhanced games, it's just a bit disappointing they didnt include a patch for the worldwide release ... Maybe it'll happen eventually lol.

Can't wait for this game. Day 1 for me. Finishing up Tales of Bersaria now so will be a good change of pace.

How is that game like? graphics look so dated and combat looks kinda meh ... story looks alright though i suppose. People keep saying it's a good game though .... I've never played a Tales game before.

Yeah, you will definitely like it if you're into Anime and FF.

Amazing game. I love the Tales series as a whole because of the combat system. This is easily the best game in the series IMO. Story is good enough to keep you interested and the characters are entertaining. Suggest it after P5 or before if you have the time.

Persona Hypeeeeee

[dcbone30]

Never played the series, but the high praise across the board has me intrigued. What's a persona? What are shadows? Why are is there dungeons (I don't know the story)? Is it more sci-fi, fantasy, or just weird anime stuff?

I'm playing Tales of Zetiria and while most are saying it's not a great entry into the series, I came in with no expectations and am enjoying it. Do I have to play the other Personas?

Persona's are a manifestation of someone's personality, shadows are the same but take on the evil traits of a person or something like that.

Depends on the game why dungeons are in the game. In persona 4, there was an urban legend of a tv channel that would appear at midnight turns out its a link to a shadow world and that's where the dungeons are. Persona 3 is about some evil corporation doing experiments that causes some giant tower to appear at midnight that serves as the main dungeon.

All games take place in a modern day japan.

Theyre all separate from each other so you don't have to play the previous ones. Just the occasional cameo and Easter egg that references previous games.

Persona games are really story heavy, lot of reading.

there's a lot of carl jung mixed into the persona series. read up on carl jung's terms of persona and shadows. carl jung is like the essence of the games. along with some freud as well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_(psychology)

it's like a psychological game, highschool/life-sim, mixed with demons, tarot, and mystery.





they'll probably teach you the stuff in class as well in persona 5

[Brymc]

Will be my 1st Persona. Not sure ill pick it up straight away but pretty pumped

[2RDEYE]

just had my persona 5 shipped, i get it tomorrow, wasn't expecting it this early. time to drop all other video games and hobbies

[Bladebruh]

Played Persona 4 and Persona Q on 3DS. Looking forward to this game. Gonna be great.

[YourIHero]

[butwhowasfeel]

yawp, downloaded them all like 20 minutes ago

[JohnRainbo]

What's all this "healing set" stuff? Also, what difficulty should I play this game at for starters? I don't want the game to be too easy. Should I just start with hard, or what? Any ideas?

It's just a few healing/revive items

Also, not sure how many difficulties there are in this one but I recommend starting with normal if you just want to experience the story and sim aspects, but if you want a challenge, you should play on hard (itll probably be easy if you're used to turn based combat systems tho)
