Redpill me on Persona 5 There's no way it can get so much praise

It's a super comfy game with top tier aesthetics, characters and sound design. The pacing is good because when you start to get bored of socialising the game pushes you back into dungeon crawling and vice versa.

The downsides are the simplistic inventory system and a fucking cat telling you to go to bed half the time you wanna do something.

it's a friend simulator for autistics

it's /ourgame/

its the sonybros shitting up the board and spamming it. this shit vn release is proof positive that /v/ is literally sonygaf.

containment board WHEN

>>375686340
Anime friend/waifu simulator

>>375686340
Its a persona game. The first real one in fucking years and it wasnt a giant mess. Why are you so shocked /v/ is all over its dick?

>>375686340
Combat is standard SMT fare and all the stylized parts of the game look incredible. Best soundtrack from any Persona game.
I didn't connect with most of the main cast, but all the supporting slinks are great.

You'll never it see it COMIN'!!!!

>There's no way it can get so much praise

Everything with fantasy relationship, e.g. waifu, daughterfu, best bro, etc., bullshit gets ridiculous amounts of praise these days. It's almost as if the stereotype of gamers being lonely, virgin losers is actually true.

People want to go to a japanese high school and fight demons apparently.

Oh and waifus

>>375686340
It's weebshit.
CoD is better.

>>375686340
Is there anything that really stands out about this game compared to other releases this year? Combat, story, music, atmosphere, etc.

>>375687287
What big RPGs have come out this year?

So people have just been starved for a good JRPG? Sounds reasonable, production quality looks pretty damn good.

>>375686340
The beginning is great but then it turns mediocre-to-shit(depending on your taste) around a third in.

What saves it ultimately is the fact that there's not really another series like it. I'd still recommend it to most anybody, but not without reservation(though honestly there are almost zero recent games like that).

>>375686340
>There's no way it can get so much praise
Why not?

>>375686340
Because the nips that made this shit actually care about their final product and aren't concerned about pumping out sequels every year.

Appreciate it while you can, bitch.

>>375687287
It has the best enemy designs of any game series I've ever played. They're based off real life demons and folklore and you see tons of "Favorite SMT demon" threads on /v/ a lot.

Music and atmosphere are pretty great. You're living 8 months day by day in the attic of a cafe in Tokyo listening to jazz.

It pulls itself out of that dumpster for Casino and Ship. It's really just the middle and the end that kind of blow. Last cutscenes are cool at least.

This game is a miracle

Same reason VN's and nu-Fire Emblem sell: anime-character/waifu socialization wins the autists and depressed Japs over everytime.

>>375687842
Makoto has some pretty cute autism, but not as cute as Yusuke

What's there not to understand?
