I don't know what it is about Persona games, they just seem... boring in general. I actually quite like some of the characterization contained within the social links/confidant systems, and even some of the gameplay - but the overarching plot of every Persona game I've played (from 2 to 5) has bored the ever-loving shit out of me.
I'm not exactly sure why. Even a relatively mediocre FF game (say, 13 or 15) manages to entertain me more on a narrative level than Persona games do.
Any other anons feel the same way?
the stories in persona games feel like a really dull anime, but most people who play these games probably don't watch anime so for them it feels fresh

You are just unimaginative losers who are entertained by simple Western plots.
The Persona series has a flawless storyline.
They bore me simply because IRL settings in general are boring to me now.

I think it's more to do with the pacing. Even by JRPG standards the Persona games have awful, awful pacing and the narrative is constantly interrupted with side crap that rarely has much to do with the main narrative and the player cannot chose to opt out of that stuff.
Because BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY

Upvoted for cool use of memes.
Remember that as much as /v/ hates more "mainstream" JRPG franchises like Final Fantasy, the SMT fanbase is the worst in the world and has a huge crossover with the ironic weeb girl twitter crowd (most of whom wouldn't be caught dead playing an FF game as it doesn't contain weeb-hipster cred).
Nobody actually cares about the Persona plots. Look at what all Persona threads talk about. Persona games are best known for weeb immersion. You know, living your daily life in Japan and making relationships. Also the girls.

This. The world in series like FF is just a lot more fantastical and escapist. Science Fantasy > "It's like I'm really Japanese!"

Damn. This is like half of the people I follow on twitter.

Only group of girls I've met for whom I'd say rape as a punishment is deserved.

ALL of the Persona/SMT games have horrible plots. The difference is that Persona 3-5 uses a formula that distracts the player with sidequests and goals.

This.
And don't let the memers fool you, mainline SMT is even worse.
