Does it get better?

k

>>385204380
I want to like the game. Please tell me it gets better

If the characters get more fleshed out and better characters join it might be enough to pull me through

Does the story beats get any more interesting later on?

Please I want to enjoy it.

yea

SP conservation becomes more important
sneak isn't bad, just run until you see an enemy then hide so you can sneak up
take your time
>cringe
story is just about a group of kids who wanna change hearts of adults and get big, that is until the 5th palace where shit start's to get unveiled and things really pick up

It's a really long game that you just don't seem to have the patience for.

>>385204541
How exactly long is it?

>>385204814
around 80 to 120 hours

>>385204814
90 to 120 hours
refund it
you probably don't have the patience for it, if you don't like the premise you won't like it even when it picks up
i spent 300 hours on it btw

>>385204297
>exploiting the enemies' weakness makes them easier to fight wtf
>sneaking up on enemies lets me attack them when their guard isn't up holy shit
>this dungeon makes me solve puzzles to complete it it's almost like a fuckin video game or something

>>385204908
>>385205042
Jesus fuck. You do say it gets better right? If the story picks up I might stick with it

>>385204297
Never played pokemon before?

>>385205124
>makes it easier to fight
*Braindead easy to fight. It's just tedium. It's not a challenge, it's just mashing the tired old buttons
>sneaking up lets me attack them
Exactly. The game encourages you to go EVEN SLOWER. In an already horribly tedious and draggy game
>dungeon makes me solve puzzles
Haphazardly placed puzzles that are neither interesting to play nor offer any challenge.

>>385204297
No.

You're taste in games doesn't get better, You're fucked.

The game does not really change that much. First dungeon is actually the best portion of the game.

No reason to put 100+ hours in a game you're not enjoying.

>>385205240
What difficulty are you playing it on?

It sounds to me like you are still on the first dungeon because eventually your damage will reflect back on your face and rape your mom and sister.

>>385205152
Don't feel too pressured to beat it, I mean I like the game but I don't want you slogging through something you don't enjoy.
But if it makes things better, constantly throughout the game new mechanics are always being added.

>>385205184
Only the originals when I was pretty young. I don't remember much of it. I think I liked it but not too much.

I actually like turn based RPGs like chrono trigger and some of the FFs (FF6) is my favourite.

I heard many good things about persona 5 but I'm really not feeling it so far

GAME
OF
THE
YEAR

>>385205291
Normal. I expected that to be the optimum and most balanced experience. Am I wrong?

>>385205291
I'm at Madarame's palace. Second one I think.

Persona is the worst kind of game which just forces you to do the same shit over and over with irrelevant rewards to feed your addiction.

I can't say it's 100% trash, because the final dungeon is straight out of SMT and I love it. Otherwise it offers nothing you couldn't get in P3/P4 and I'm so glad I didn't buy a playstation for this.

>>385205262
Can you tell me what you like about the game? I want to see what others like in it to see if it fits with mine

>>385204297
>Does it get better?
Honestly discover it for yourself don't rely on other people's impressions or you'll begin to have different expectations

>>385204297
It literally gets worse.
It's the easiest game in the series, stealth is done really poorly in the game, It's gets consistently easier to the point of playing itself once you get SP regen charms, and the group cohesion is completely fucked, they hardly interact with each other because they're too busy jumping on potter's dick.

On the positive side the music, presentation, and underground doctor are great.

>>385205442
It's literally one of the worst SMT/Persona games it just has a great fucking art style and presentation.

>>385205384
Yeah well it will definetly get harder. But it sounds like you don't even care about finding out what is behind these shadows appearing etc.

Just drop it mate.

>>385205525
I actually care about the story but it's pacing makes it pretty uninteresting.

>>385205603
Its a MINIMUM 80 hour game. The pacing is a problem throughout the whole game. If you find it boring now then you won't enjoy it at all. Use that time for something that you will enjoy.

>>385205507

So, how do I make sure I don't make an unwinnable build?

>>385206354
>just wanted to get on the "hype train" instead of playing it out of genuine interest.
That's probably the case

>>385206091
Well a lot of the challenge comes in with maintaining your SP and getting as far into the dungeon as you can on he least amount of days.
If you just casually leave then that may be why you find it easy, the price your paying for that is losing additional days you could use to level up confidents and social ranks.

>>385206495
>>385206354
why not both? I got hyped and I like JRPGS so why not?

>>385207036
The problem is your interest comes from you being hyped and not the opposite which can lead to absurd expectations and easy diappointement

>>385207519
I just expected an engaging story, dungeon running and decent dialogue. Like, a good game

>>385204297
play it on hard then, faggot
>other complaints boil down to 'this is to anime for me, /v/'
dont play it, you should have expected that going in and if you go in and then complain about something as obvious as that, you're a fucking idiot.

>>385207626
oh you're just baiting then?
anyone like you would have thrown this tantrum way before the 10 hour mark.

>>385207626
See, that's the issue, you didn't play the game because you know the series and played the previous ones, so what happened is that you had to make yourself an idea of how the game could turn out to be so you based it on your other Jrpg experiences instead of the most logical comparison games which are the previous entries. It leads to you not being able to see the evolution of the franchise, what got better or what got worse, and comparing it to completely different game expecting something that looks like the same type of "good" as those games.

You could try bumping up the difficulty, OP. I've only played it on Merciless (I've played other titles in the series) and found it borderline easy.

However if the story+characters+general tone and a e s t h e t i c s isn't your jam at this point of the game (I consider the first 10h to be a VERY strong start), it most likely won't change later.

>>385206181
Yeah the we have to change their cognition thing got old after Madarame.

>>385208147
>>385207857

He's right. From 3 onward, Persona have terrible boring overextended story and bland archetype as characters.

They will tell you there's characters developements but honestly if you ever played or seen more than two animes you can already guess how every characters will turn out.

Nice.

i dont argue with apes, anon
its not worth it, especially when the ape is picking a fight for no reason. better to just look away and make your way out of the ghetto

>>385208289
Thats what you get for playing Merciless which massively increases crit damage which benefits the player way more because enemies are too dumb to crit that often. Hard is harder.

You don't get to level as much because you get 0.4 money and exp, though. And bosses hit harder and can eff you up if not prepared.

I somewhat agree that Hard may be a better experience overall, though; I just can't say from personal experience yet.

>>385209392
Good is subjective, are you 12 or something?
Its a visual novel with some dungeon crawling on top this has been the case for a decade with this series, if you dont like the pacing of visuals novels why would you ever consider this game.
Have you even played a VN before? I bet you havent you newfag, you should know what you were getting into

Also tell me a game with a story you consider good

>>385209398
>do you know where you are
Sure, but jesus you fags are autistic as fuck, even more so than the rest of the board.

>>385209262
Guess I as well fell for the shilling on /v/

>>385209502
Harder is better than merciless the crit, technical weakness triple damage you get on merciless is way too generous

>>385209526
If you don't like it you can go back to plebbit or neofag or whatever shithole you crawled out of.

>>385209526
Discussing a game people like isnt shilling.
Grow a brain

>>385209512
Yeah I did play many VNs. Liked 999 in particular

Also a game with a good story? Ghost Trick. Good pacing, charming characters and the gameplay sections in between are varied. The story itself is simple but the game pulls it off extremely well. The twist was good too, better executed and hidden than the one in Persona 5's

>>385209613
But neofag loves it because it is a sony exclusive. Persona 5 is also the fastest selling Persona so far, so far more normies are playing it. It's no longer a niche game.

>>385209658
>dude the game has a good story lmao
>dude the gameplay is the best in all the SMTs lmao
>dude the dungeons are actually good lmao
All wrong

>>385209684

Figures. You forgot hotel dusk.
You guys are like walking stereotypes. Not that Im defending weebs those are also pretty bad.

Bottom line is do your research better next time there is no one to blame but yourself.
I never buy a game I dont love.

>>385209784

>>385209784
>opinions

Go away

>>385209802
Hotel dusk was great, yeah I agree.

I researched the game but didn't want to spoil myself. I found out that it was a VN mixed with a standard turn based RPG and hey how awesome does that sound? And then the story is shit (and really fucking predictable) and the gameplay is so repetitive and boring. What a disappointment

>>385209839
Neofag likes that P5 has really SJW themes (dude friendship lmao, dude capitalism is evil lmao), and they wish they could steal trump's heart

>>385204297
>battles are so easy you can just use the same strategy over and over again until you get to a boss
then stop playing on easy and play on merciless you casual tard. The point of the combat is to exploit weakness

>"sneak" is overpowered bullcrap that makes the gameplay so much slower than it actually should be
Go right ahead and try to rambo everything. You'll never finish the dungeon with high security level without sneaking

>dungeon feels so poorly designed and drag on for way too long
Your more pathetic at this game than I thought if you think the 1st dungeon drags on too long

>dialogue is cringy shit
You haven't played Fire emblem Fates have you?

>characters are okay
>pacing is shit, and the story doesn't seem to be very interesting
They get better later on.

>music is great
Of course its great, its a fucking Atlus game

>>385209919
>And then the story is shit (and really fucking predictable) and the gameplay is so repetitive and boring. What a disappointment
That's kinda bait

>>385210173
Not him but I played on merciless, and it's even worse there. Enemies don't take much stratergy to beat once you find out their weakness (which is pretty damn fast) and then it devolves into spamming the right attacks again. Plus it further deincentivizes you to go rambo and almost force stealth as a means to get rid of enemies quicker, further slowing down gameplay. The bad dialogue in another game also does not excuse the bad dialogue in this one

Also the pacing is shit throughout, and the characters later on get worse as they have less and less screen time to flesh them out

>>385210075
>fraternity

You wot?

The only bad thing about P5 is the translation.

>>385204475
Is this your first Persona game? If so, it might just not be your kind of game. Persona is like an anime in vidya form, and personally that speaks to me since I'm a massive weeb.

A big part of the game is the social aspect where you meet all the different confidants/social links, and hang out with them/romance them and learn their story. Then there's the Persona aspect, where you aquire new ones and experiment to fuse new ones which can be pretty cool. If the story and gameplay doesn't hook you, then you might be in for a hard time.

TLDR: It's literally a highschool anime in vidya form.

>>385210942
>If you play Persona for the gameplay
Who said that ?

>>385210573
>brainwashing is sjw

Then don't act as if people should not expect a good story given that Persona games had a much better story before. The series really went downhill story and character-wise from 3 onwards

The problem with this game is it's marketed in mainstream while it's core audience is a niche group of people. So a lot of people who'll never enjoy such a game buys it and regrets it afterwards.
It's one of my favorite games of this decade but if you don't think you belong in the core audience or game does capture your interest in the first 10 hours, return it if you can. You'll just burn yourself out and have a bad time. Just get something you think you'll have fun.

>>385210476
>Every single story villain plays out the same.

The third villain is an already established mob boss whom you are trying to make pay for his (already known) crimes. The fourth 'villain' is Futaba, a girl who is coping with the 'suicide' of her mother and thus has become a shut-in afraid of the world. The fifth 'villain' is a public prosecutor who hasn't actually done anything wrong, but envy and pride has corrupted her job and her personal life. And the sixth one is fucking Shido, the guy from the beginning.

I don't it's wrong that you have the same modus operandi for every 'villain'. The gameplay is also varied enough that the similarities between your approach to every villain play out very differently due that they're all unique in nature.

>>385205124
not that guy but the sneak function in p5 was way too easy, only fights you got ambushed in were scripted or by missclicking and thus rushing right in front of the enemy.

that being said i think persona just isn't for OP

>>385206128
isn't that like going "oh you dont like the latest adam sandler movie, maybe you should just watch casablanca" then calling him a faggot for not enjoying black and white films.

>>385213239
It would probably be more like "You don't like the latest Adam Sandler movie? Go watch his very first movie and see if you like it." Seeing as MT is the roots of SMT which is the Roots of Persona.

You won't like it. Why did you even pick it up, since I'm guessing you don't like JRPGs in general? There's plenty of things wrong with P5, a lot of critical ones with story, but overall its still is an enjoyable JRPG.

How retarded can one get, jesus.

Feel like we has this thread every days, is this some kind of P5 hater something?

>>385216175
>Every day
You mean every 5 hours right?

>>385216175
P5 hater here, I'm doing every dingle one of those thread. I keep going on with microsleep of 2 hours at best and testosteron injection (i'm a nurse).

I've never played the serie nor watched a playthrough but the more I read those thread the more my knowledge of the game grow, along with my ability to shit on it.

>>385204297
I thought this game was easy and redundant. They just kept repeating themselves after every boss and nothing happened until the last 3 dungeons. I thought Persona 3/4 were much better jrpgs. Each one got easier, p5 was a 6/10 for me

This is the opposite of true.
About midway is where the Medjed bullshit starts and that's already after Kaneshiro's dungeon which is a massive drop in quality in terms of writing. The stupid hacker group shit being a set-up and really the whole "conspiracy" in general was so fucking poorly done, not to mention the final twist is literally Innocent Sin's final twist. I just felt that the game would've done a lot better if the antagonists were (at least mostly) unrelated.

If you think the dungeons are too long you should play more games. It takes two in game days to finish a dungeon.

I don't talk video games with my patients because it may subconsciously influence how I treat them.

You are willing to get 80% into the game when the story itself picks up, but you aren't truly invested already? All your qualms are genersal JRPG things so either you don't like JRPGS, you don't like the premise or both. Just drop it.

I'm glad I didn't play that one then.

Better story, better characters, better pacing, p4 had better dungeons, better social links. What's persona 5 have over these two? Visuals? I'm not going to say gameplay because the sneaking mechanic makes it a joke and feels like a ps2 game, it's differnet but I wouldn't call it an improvement.

Story and character are subjectives, but P4 had better dungeons? Now we all know you're a bait.

Who did you care about in p5? I didn't give a shit about anyone. Oh no Ann won't be the best model ever!! Oh no haru is rich as fuck! Oh no ryuji let down the track team! Futaba is a cool l33t hacker!!! Greatest characters of all time!!! Wow, did it work guys? I love hearing "did it work I'm worried??" In the texts 393932 times between dungeons on my free time, not annoying at all! We gotta be famous and earn popularity, the worst plot the device for continuing to be phantom thieves!!!

>>385221296
Anon, if you bother to actually play the game you know that what you just describe is only a surface, the mask they wore. Their inner problem is much more than that.

Why are you so upset?

>>385205152
Drop it and sell it on ebay to recoup your cash.
JRPGs are obviously not your thing, and that's fine.

You might enjoy a game with more action and more "Hollywood" level storytelling.

I hear Prey is pretty decent.
Also, BethesDoom is an exciting game with a very easy to grasp story that feels very mature and western.

>>385221661
Don't worry, apparently we just reached the part of the /v/ cycle where "the game is obviously garbage and the older ones are better" yadda yadda

How the fuck?

>>385221574
I beat it last night, there was no inner problems for these surface level characters. I'm mad because I dumped 80 hours into something of significantly less quality than the last 2 persona games but everyone keeps telling me it's better. I can't believe people will defend this shitty writing and pacing. Was this your first jrpg??

>>385221346
How do you measure good jrpg?
Because P5 could be in the good jrpg category.

>>385211637
The famicom versions are actual dog shit.
They're slow as fuck, and there is no map.

>>385221914
There is, you not knowing it just proved you didn't actually play the game.

>>385221907
Why did you think this one was better? Who did you care about and why? Why were the dungeons better? Because of the gimmicky jump feature? Because of the cover feature? The puzzles were easy, there were too many safe rooms, there weren't interesting. Nanako's dungeon was more interesting in concept than anything in p5

>>385221914
>I'm mad because I dumped 80 hours into something of significantly less quality than the last 2 persona games but everyone keeps telling me it's better.
It's a game, not an assignment. If you play a game with nothing but negative thought about it and forcing yourself to play it, no one will take your hatepost seriously.

Try to be level-headed if you want to criticize the game.

Not being a generated hallways for one.

I will agree that it felt like a chore to me, I felt bored and frustrated the entire time due to the redundant dialog and lack of challenge. I don't think this is my fault though. This was my most anticipated game of the year, all previous persona games were an absolute joy for me that I have played multiple times.

In KMT1
Main character:
Str & Vit
Get about 16 speed so you can hit things too.
Everything spare into luck for delicious crits.
Female:
Pump Int and Vit.
Int+Level determines when you learn spells. igh int = earlier spells, and more SP. Attack magic is 90% useless in this game, so her entire reason to exist is to heal.
Once she has over 350 HP, pump Str so she's less useless.

KMT2:
MC: Str and Vit, and some Int, use ALL Int/Str Incenses on him to get him to 25 Int/30 Vit/35 Str (base stat, not with eq. boosts) by level 60-65. You need these stats for the best sword in the game. Int is mostly useless on MC, but it will give him significant magic defense, which is way more useful in KMT2 than 1. Consider giving MC luck incenses as well.

Partner:
Pump Int ASAP. Ignore Vit until Int is 30+. Use any Vit incenses you find on partner, then use any extra incense on Partner later.
Save your incense for when Partner or MC is low on HP, it restores HP and SP.

In both games, if you can find a demon with Estoma NEVER LOSE IT. Estoma is the most useful spell in the game.

Final advice:
There are many enemies in both games not worth fighting. They are either very tough with little or no exp bonus, or they can permanently drain levels from you.

In KMT2, enemies will begin to use Mudo to instant kill you as well.

>>385222863
Main series, yeah. I don't mean Q which has a dogshit story but great gameplay and interesting/difficult puzzles. I mean the ps2 releases as well, not p4 golden or p3p

I want someone to explain to me why the story/characters meant more to them in this game than previous titles. I want someone else to tell me why getting the same series of texts 60 times after beating a dungeon didn't annoy them, or defend how the plot was aimless after Kamoshida until Sae's dungeon. (Minus futaba) So far I've just gotten one guy telling me I didn't play it and everyone else just calling me a hipster

Being the only person on /v/ who has played every MegaTen game (including Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei) I can say, without a doubt, that Persona 5 is in the top three of games in the series, and that no other Persona game is in the top 5.

>>385223326
I'm not even saying stop enjoying it, I'm just saying to realize it has faults and isn't the greatest jrpg of all time which is the ludicrous statement everyone has been throwing around online. I'd honestly give it a 6/10, which isn't a bad score. I just feel like it was a drop in quality from p3 which was an 8/10 for me and p4 which was a 9/10

>>385223694

Who said that? it's a good game for other and a shit game for you, whatever.

>>385223694
I disagree.

>>385223458
Because personally, unlike the previous game it keep me being on edge. I don't get aloof school life like the previous entries, I just embraced what shit going to thrown off to the protag.
I don't mind the text because I don't have ADHD, it's just a text, either I read it or skipped it. But I usually read it because I'm playing a game without being forced by anyone, unlike some anon here who forced their way to play a game just to blend on /v/.

Aimless plot my ass, did you even know the context after the Kamoshida arc? If you pay any attention to that, there's a purpose of what the plot going. Like come on, man. You're being stale by keep posting the same shit over and over again.

When I first played Persona 3, I thought it was one of the coolest JRPGs ever. I still do... HOWEVER, that was because I was a teenager, objectively it's just as cringy as P5 and that's true for all JRPGs too.

So I think they are right that P5 is the best JRPG ever. The missing part is that all JRPGs suck and are meant for kids.

Isn't that all video game? except FIFA i guess

Name one video game isn't cringy

>>385224338
>Isn't that all video game? except FIFA i guess
Most video games definitely. With the exception of Sports and Shooters, you can tell which games are meant for adults a protagonist that's age 25+.

A game like Witcher 3 with a protagonist that is ~40ish is still good as an adult. Some of the dialogue can be typical rpg repetitive but none is coming of age, rebelling against adults, teenage first love drama.

Why not play something like SMT then? why are you complain about this shit when you playing a high school students save the world JRPG? are you for real?

>>385225354
The point is they are both the same cringy shit, just one is from high schooler and another is from power male fantasy.

>>385225464
>I don't see any problem either, they are both cringy and for kids

Heart of the stone is about marriage problems and being careful for what you wish for. The ending involves making a choice between two parties, both bad and needing to side with the lesser of two evils. It's gray area and morally ambiguous.

Persona and all jrpgs are about trying to describe real life problems but failing miserably because the characters are teenagers and then forgetting you even care about portraying real humans to fight am abstract convoluted god monster boss that goes on a monologue about wanting to punish humans for not being perfect. Obviously an allegory for metaphor for parents scolding a child and the child fighting back.

it's obvious one is targeted to adults and the other for teenagers.

>>385225604
>Why not play something like SMT then? why are you complain about this shit when you playing a high school students save the world JRPG? are you for real?

I did. SMTIV:A is persona tier. And also they are just rehashing the same shit about [spoilers] Tokyo getting destroyed and needing to create a new world [/spoilers] from nocturne. I'm over that.

I'm going to play Vagrant Story next and see how it comes. I played a little and so far it seems promising.

Nah, by how much I liked it, it means P5 does indeed in good jrpg category. Thanks for clearing it up.

Medjed and Kaneshiro's arcs were ok, considering how goofy the main plot is and how the game doesn't really takes itself too seriously you can just past through those with no problem without nitpicking that much. The real writing problem starts with Haru's introduction and the obvious rush to start the whole Akechi plot that it was so poorly presented that the whole thing is really difficult to get into because of 1 how obvious the reveal is, 2 how badly his whole confidant was handled and 3 the lack of any real "rivalry" between the MC and him, which was the whole point of their confidant/sl. Although Shido's battle is kinda cool you can see or sense that there probably is a lot of cut content from the last three palaces, specially regarding Haru and Shido's palace.

Objectively Persona 5 it every single jrpg anime check box and is the most polished console jrpg ever. So doesn't that make it the best jrpg?

you fags complaining about p5 not being the best jrpg are the same way as:

>ff7fags complaining about ff10
>ff6fags complaining about ff7
>ff4fags complaining about ff6
>...

everyone thinks their [nostalgia game] is always the best.
