It's out in Japan, dumb cunt.

Persona ruined SMT. And a potentially good Wii U Fire Emblem game.

>>29977484
My mom won't buy those kinds of games for me

I vastly prefer the SMT games, but they're so different in tone that I wouldn't even compare them. If I'm in the mood for Pokemon, Nocturne isn't gonna satisfy me, despite Nocturne being a better game.

Plus, P5 just got pushed back to April, so that's another two fucking months I have to avoid /v/.

persona hasn't been good since 3

i cant read moon runes silly bitch

>>29977650
P4 was a solid game but the fanbase is truly cancer.

>>29977665

What would his team be?
Decidueye is a given.

>>29977827
I'm fucking tired of Dark Souls, let alone a spin off in a crappy console with paid online.

Goro kills you and blames you for everything in the bad end

>>29977579
This, they are different enough in tone and gameplay to be in the mood for one and not the other.
I think deep down I prefer Pokemon but I think SMT is the better franchise. Gameplay in Pokemon is more polished but Atlus takes more risks, wildly reinvents the formula from game to game and the plot is vastly more interesting every time.

UBs seriously look like they could belong in the SMT universe.

Most interesting games are ported to PC/Steam/iOS/Android nowadays, so why bother.

I've been playing so much SMT lately, with Apocalypse coming out and finally beating SMT2 so Pokemon actually makes for a great change of pace.
tfw couldn't help but imagine that Lillie was the Law hero and Hau was the Chaos hero

Pham, plz. Stop.

>having enough common sense and taste to know a ps4 isn't worth shit makes you a fanboy
>soniggers are this deluded

>>29977484
What is this and why should I care

>>29977889
It kinda obvious though. Even the protag know that guy is lying. The game drop an obvioisly hint since case 2.

persona 5 more like delaysona 5 ecksdee

play a mainline SMT game instead

>>29977814
You can play it on PS3, and will be better off for it because you can undub it.

>>29979219
I don't own a PS4 tho, so how can I be a fanboy?

>>29979192
You're playing a game designed by Japs for Japs, so by that logic you're 100 times the weeb that I supposedly am.
You do know those slint eyed fucks only see worldwide success as a bonus right? That's why they release it in Japan first.

>>29979254

PS3 version got cancelled anon.

If I've never played this series how do you recommend I go about playing this and where should I start? If you don't mind me asking familia.

>>29979398
Really? That sucks, guess I'll give Soul Hackers a try.

>>29979254
Why would I undub a Japanese dub?

I started with SMTIV, but you'd be fine starting with Nocturne or Soul Hackers as well. Most of the games take place in entirely different continuities, so the only games you really have to play in order are:
SMT1 > SMT2
DDS > DDS2
SMTIV > SMTIV:A
Persona > P2:IS > P2:EP

>>29979423
SMT and Persona are two different beasts, the latter being a spinoff of the former.
None of the numbered Persona games are related besides the two Persona 2s so you can play and skip any of them as you see fit.
Persona 1 and the 2s have not aged gracefully. 3 is widely regarded on 4chan and its similars to be the best in the series, specially its expansion, FES. It's darker in tone than both its successors and has a pretty engaging plot, though some characters are hit or miss. Expect deaths of important characters and a main cast that borderline hates each other up until certain turning points.
Persona 4, also known as Japanese Scooby Doo, keeps a sinister plot but with much lighter and happier overtones. It plays better than 3 and jumpstarted Persona's popularity in the West but the plot and atmosphere took a blow.

"Mainline" SMT games are much harder and often more primitive than their spinoffs, making for an intense and engaging experience. Get ready to think about your next move even in random encounters and save often, lest you patoru like a bitch. Nocturne is considered the best, but 4 and its pseudo-sequel 4A are serviceable as well. Honorable mention also goes to the amazing Strange Journey, an odd non-numbered entry that plays much like the classic SMT games on SNES.

Devil Survivor and its sequel, strategy RPGs for the DS, are also challenging and fun, but simpler to dive into than mainline games. In my opinion, 2 is less interesting than 1 and feels "cheaper" in some areas.

Other spinoffs include the Raidou Kuzunoha games and Digital Devil Saga, but I haven't played either for long enough to recommend them.

>>29979619
Actually, Persona 2 features a lot of characters from the first one, and both games feature the protagonist of SMT:if... More people should play them, they're really not bad games and the P2 duology has the best story/characters in the Persona series.

>>29979309
woh ther

I'm curious how P5 will stack up against P3 and P4 when all is said and done.

>>29977484
P5 is kiddie bullshit, fuck off.

MTII is arguably the best game on the Famicom

>>29977511
Odds are most people aren't going to be able to read the text. I've seen a fuckton of people steaming the game go around in circles for quite some time over a very simple thing that was spelled out by an NPC.

>>29979655
They do feature the same characters but skipping one does not hinder your enjoyment of the others as much as, say, playing PQ without playing 3 and 4

>hey guys! A cat as a mascot is popular as shown in that game about catching youkai! So we get a cat mascot too!

Stop fooling yourself.

But hey according some some fucktuber like Dobbs, SMT is totally a Pokemon rip off even tho it came out ten years before Pokemon
