What happened?
>>389308412
Adachi is a meme, Shido isn't.
Shido wasn't nearly as compelling and Goro was so comically evil it wasn't even funny. And not in the good comically evil way like Kamoshida was.
>>389308412
Was Adachi right?
Did he really do nothing wrong?
>>389308598
Spoilers bro...
Persona 4 had a better villain but P5 had a better everything else. Stfu fag
>>389308680
I honestly have no sympathy for you coming into a thread about a game a year old at this point directly discussing the villain in the OP.
>>389308849
It's cool dude, I already know
Shido's bossfight was 10000000000x better than Adachi's tho
>>389308680
If you can't tell that Akechi Goro is going to try to throw you under the boss the moment you fucking meet him than you probably have brain damage. And I'm not talking about the pancake thing.
Persona 3 used the SMT3 Nocturne game engine. Persona 4 also reused the same game engine and most of the Persona 3 assets are still on the disc. https://tcrf.net/Persona_4#Unused_Music
Even after Catherine was released, they had no HD assets because they hadn't made a new RPG game engine. They said they split the team in half, one half worked on Persona 5 PS3, the other worked on spinoff games like Arena and helped out with Persona Q. Once every project was done, they went back as a full team to finish Persona 5.
Persona 5 started around late 2011 after Catherine was released. Then the earthquake hit Japan and they had a nuclear meltdown, which changed the storyline and development for Persona 5. The original Persona 5 was about going around the world like FF15's road trip gimmick.The bulk of Persona 5 was done in late 2014 and 2015, it was delayed because the team needed to finish the PS4 version which needed new 2D assets in 1080p.
>On PS3 to PS4 Development
>Concerning Persona 5‘s development, originally announced for the PlayStation 3 and subsequently announced for the PS4 a year later, Hashino states:
>The 2D elements of the game had to be completely redrawn, from the PlayStation 3 originals, in order to even work on PS4.

In total it was 4 years to hit the finish line on Persona 5 PS3, with 6 month delay to 2016 for Japan because the PS4 version needed polishing.
Whatever ATLUS game is announced for the PS4, do remember that this is the 4th year of the PS4 and the PS5 is coming out in 1-2 years (PS2 was 2000, PS3 was 2006, PS4 was 2013, PS5 would be 2018-2019). Expect history to repeat itself. Especially with people asking for remakes instead of Persona 6. Especially with SONY forcing developers to have PS4 Pro 4K support, they'll have to rework new assets to on PS4 Pro and PS5.

>better ost
nah
>want to replay 4
>keep thinking about how awful the dungeons are compared to 5 and how boring it is fighting recolored shadows the whole game
Why the fuck did it take Atlus this long to figure this shit out?
>>389308412
They were both shit. God i hate personafags
>>389308412
Akechi was better than Adachi, retarded nihilist.
>>389310217
>implying nihilism isn't a better motivation than DUDE DADDY ISSUES
>Even got the same lecture
Why did they make Akechi Adachi 2.0?
>>389311720
He is discount adachi at best, Adachi has and always will be /ourguy/
>>389311720
He at least had some sort of plan with an endgame, Adachi was just a jaded virgin getting people killed out of spite.
>>389308412
>game is literally a snoozefest when you find out who the killer is
At least Persona 5 is fun to play again. Pissona 4 isn't.
>>389311948
>plan
>endgame
>take down my father which the Phantom Thieves are already doing
As someone who has only played 5 and completed it in a week loving it the entire way, is 4 worth it? I would love to play more but I keep hearing that the dungeons were a lot better in 5 and I thought those were a bunch of shitty stealth exploit corridor farm fests
>>389312129
Overall it's still very worth it. But the improvements 5 made will be glaringly obvious.
