Can a normal, well adjusted adult enjoy a game like persona 5?

The entirety? Probably not. There's definite aspects that are well designed in the series (non-linear schedule management, stat building, character intereactions, etc.).

5 is less weeb than 4, slightly more weeb than 3.

I think so. Hidden under the thick veneer of waifufags, there is a rocking JRPG with the best aesthetic I've seen in forever. Worth buying just for the menus.

COGNITIVE PSCIENCE, SON

I enjoyed it and it's one of the few weeb games I've played in many years
not related but it has shit replay value

>>386955617
Probably not because you sound like a closed minded pos

>>386955617
Yeah it's not super-anime like you'd think
t. well adjusted adult

As long as you don't take it seriously, yeah

the plot in P5 is actually a step back from what we had in P4, characters are also inferior

No avoid that shit. its for teenagers

A normal, well adjusted adult wouldn't be doubting about what he enjoys or ask about it on an anonymous image board without being able to decide himself.

Well half of it involves dungeon crawling
The other half involves a high school simulator such as going to school, working part-time, doing activities to gain stats, socialising, and romancing.
I think this one is the first to let you romance older women outside of teens

>>386955617
They could, but I wouldn't say it's a guarantee that they will.

>>386956520
They're 18, it's already close to "adult" and people that have been helping them are adults too. That's one hell of a hypocrisy. Or i'm too adult myself for this shit.

>>386955617
I don't think they could. It's embarrassing. The plot, characters, and dialog are corny.

It's also not a good JRPG despite what idiots say. It's too easy, there's no variety, the pacing is terrible, and the level design sucks.

>>386956520
When you were a rebellious teen looking down from your high horse on whatever adult or authority figure of your choice, did you specifically think "man, fuck adults" or "man, fuck this asshole"? It's bad dialogue.

>>386956520
I don't complain about them complaining about adults, but it was a very poor decision to use the word "adult" so often in the game. It's obvious that what they actually mean is just people with power that abuse that power and make life worse for those weaker than them, which is fine, but just referring to those people as adults makes the characters come off as overly juvenile at times. I don't know what word I would have used in its stead, but there has to be something better than just using adults as a blanket term.

Nothing wrong with making a living you dirty commie dog

Pirate it on PC and see for yourself faggot.

if you can somehow play a 100+ hour story-driven game over the course of several months, sure

it took me 5 months to beat Xenoblade, and that was only 70 hours for me. and that is my fave game, which I realized half-way into it. my friend took 2 months to beat P5 in 150hrs. that's just....... not healthy

that being said, if they port it to the Switch, I'll probably get it so I can play on the train to work. otherwise I'm not playing it even tho said friend of mine offered to game-share it with me

I don't watch Anime yet I enjoyed this game enough to get the Platinum. I don't mind weeb characters in games at all.

What in the world are you talking about? That's an average of 2.5 hours a day. Of course it was probably more like 3 or 4 with longer sessions on completely free days, but not healthy? That's a perfectly fine time to take to play 150 hours.

If you like anime yea. The first ten hours will hit a homerun with anyone, you got plucky heroes you could root for, a bastard villain, and a sullen tone about being a dreg in society.

After that it depends on the person and what they want

>>386959141
They keep saying "adults" because adults are the ones running everything. Principal, an adult, and the parents, also adults, knew about Kamoshida. Adults at Okumura Foods knew how Okumura was treating employees, yet they did nothing. Adults fucked over Futaba with that note. Sae is an adult, and she failed her job as the prosecutor.

>>386962970
Why is it called the diet anyway? Are they all on a strict diet?

>>386963813
I know, but them being adults isn't their defining feature and they show time and again that they don't actually think all adults are evil. It would have come off better if they referred to them in a way that didn't lump in a lot of people they have no issues with.

>>386964062
They saw inaction of adults, who have the ability to do something, as bad as the people they were after. That's the whole theme of the game, really. Holy Grail grew stronger because of this inaction.

>>386963813
Actually the main person that fucked over Futaba was another teenager.

>>386964629
In the suicide note her "mother"
blamed her for everything, including the suicide. That is what fucked her up.

>>386964548
That's true, but they still acknowledge and show that they respect plenty of adults and don't see them all as part of the problem. It's also not said outright, not that I recall at least, but I'm sure they see plenty of teenagers as equally guilty of inaction and being okay with their lives being steered for them. "Adults" just refers to such a large pool of people, a good number of which are on the side of the Thieves, and it's not a word that really captures who the Thieves are taking issue with.

>>386965021
What could've teenager done about Kamoshida? He was respected Olympic gold medalist. His coaching brought prestige to the school. If a teenager complained about Kamoshida, he was ignored by everyone - principal, teachers, parents.
The rest shouldn't even be mentioned. Kaneshiro was a fucking mafia boss, Okumura - a CEO of extremely large company and Shido - candidate for position of Prime Minister. Teenagers shouldn't be the ones to stop these people, that's what the adults in power are for, such as the law enforcers or politicians.
The fact that 17 year old kids were doing the jobs of adults is what made them angry.

>>386965781
Just because teenagers are generally not as capable as adults doesn't mean they thought it was okay for them to just not do anything about the issues in their life, that was Mishima's whole deal early on, and it's what the PT's did themselves at the end of the game to help Joker. And even then, the word adults still doesn't capture what exactly the issue they have with these people is, they didn't think people automatically tunred evil when they turned 18, and there could have been a better word to convey the PT's actual issue with society and the people whose hearts they were changing than adult.

If teenagers grouped together, they would have been listened too, maybe with the help of the student council or the teachers for Kamoshida, the police for Kaneshiro

Then again the problem was that teenagers were actually fine with being exploited by Kamoshida because they thought the abuse was worth the recommendation for a good college or a good career in volleyball. Can't remember if the case was similar with Kaneshiro.

>>386955617
I'm an oldfag. Have wife, kid etc.

Judging by the trailers, I thought I'm too old for this shit. However I enjoyed the shit out of it.

It was a nostalgia trip back to my high school years. Having my friends over at my place, having fun, go all around town. Thinking how fucked up the adult world is, but how we are gonna change it when we will grow up. So everything except the saving the world part.

It also reminded me of all the cheezy detective books or pulp fiction in general targeted towards teenagers.

And the game play was also good, even if it was basically rock-paper-scissors.

You completely misunderstood the situation. They weren't fine with it. It was the only option they had to make sure their future wasn't thrown in the trash. You go along with the guy in power because he's got the power to destroy what you've been working towards. Did you think Makoto was totally fine doing all that shit the principal threw at her because she was going to get a recommendation letter?

>>386966250
Exactly. In the end PTs realized that you don't have to be an adult to change something. It's part of the message of the game.
Before I argued why PTs used "adults", but the developers use it as a message to the player. If they used "scum" or anything like that, it wouldn't mean anything to you.

>>386966428
The note was the thing that made her a depressed, anxiety-ridden shut-in.
