Best JRPG Ever?

Anybody else import this game? Maybe it's just my first reaction but I honestly feel like this is the best JRPG I've ever played. And I say that as a guy who feels that JRPGs have really, really gone downhill in the past 10 years. I used to be one of the big sticklers who always stuck to his guns that the SMT mainline games were always better than Persona, Nocturne my personal fave in the series, but Persona 5 is a turning point. I just don't see how anyone could play this game and not think it's the best game Atlus has ever made, taking the best aspects of SMT and the best aspects of Persona and putting them together in probably the most visually stylish game ever made, plus the engine could easily be used for Shin Megami Tensei V.

I'm not a fluent Japanese speaker but am literate enough to follow the majority of the plot. After getting through the first dungeon with Kamoshida on Hard I realized, this game is actually pretty challenging. I beat SMT3 the first time I played it on Hard mode and got True Demon End, Persona 5 from first impression at least seems similarly challenging on Hard, I heard there's an even harder difficulty if you beat it. Just the first dungeon's boss was enough to kill me a few times, I had to really strategize my buffs/debuffs just to barely beat him. For the first time in years I actually feel like I'm having genuine fun and feel thrilled from a turn based strategy game. Did I mention how awesome the soundtrack is?r

I feel like 99% or more of the detractors of this game are people who have just watched videos of it or read spoilers and just arbitrarily decided it's shit (like Cred Forums does for every video game ever made). Has anyone actually imported this game, played it and not enjoyed it? If so, why? And if not, feel free to post what you like about it.

>"Tell me about Goshujin, why does he wear the mask?"

>dating simulator
>turn based challenging when the game even has a super baby easy mode which shows the overall game was never meant to be challenging

It's a shame that Atlus thought it was a good idea for the west to wait five months to get the game rather than doing a simultaneous release. They really hate the west for some reason.

the plot is actually better than any SMT game though, and on Hard it's as hard as any SMT game. Maniac is probably harder.

again you haven't played the game at all and are just pulling shit out of your ass. You're either going to buy this game no matter what you say or you're just poor and never were going to buy it to begin with.

I realized recently something about Cred Forums's two most popular boards: Cred Forums is always right, and Cred Forums is always wrong.

I've never in my life encountered a time when this wasn't true. Cred Forums doesn't even play video games, they just shitpost about them.

to be honest there's so much text EVERYWHERE in this game and voice acting everywhere, I don't understand why they didn't just try to translate it at the same time. if they've waited until now to start localizing, yes it will probably actually take them 5 months given the massive amount of text and voice acting this game has. I'm talking every single demon is voice acted, most NPCs voice acted, text constantly popping up everywhere, seemingly different beginnings for every single day. It might have delayed the game until Dec or something to do simultaneous release but it probably would have been worth it. this game is very Japanese (like all Atlus games), Japan in general is just very xenophobic and seemingly uninterested in making itself accessible to Westerners.

P5 is leagues ahead of P3 and P4 and finally puts it among the SMT greats in my eyes.

They should be romanceable

nah, it's shit. get better taste

>if they've waited until now to start localizing
Atlus USA not even showing translated game footage at E3 pretty much confirmed they only started work on it a few months back.

P5 is great. I sank 90 hours into it and enjoyed all of it.

It's a well rounded RPG and one of the most exciting gaming experience period. Only issue is the lack of a polished final part of the game.

That said I beat everything on hard keeping below the average level and it was pretty easy if you know what to do. Particularly after you finish the Strength arcana. Then you can just fuse Siegfried then Shiva and own everything.

>literally Cucksona 5: WE WANT NTR AUDIENCE
WTH Japan?

Right now most people who are legitimately disappointed by it AND who have also played it are the fatlus autists who probably have some philosophical objection to how the game is made.

Importer here i had my first week playing the game last week and it was a blast.

I use my i phone translator on my phone since i dont know japanese, but luckily for me im a huge weaboo and have watched enough anime in my middle school/high school life to be able to tell whats going by the way the charcaters speak to each other and cliche anime tropes even though the translations may not always be accurate.

>best JRPG ever
not an accomplishment

Oh boy, I can't wait for a rushed as fuck localization.

>Right now most people who are legitimately disappointed by it
the people who have actually played it or the EOPs that read a couple out of context spoilers and think they know the whole game?

>best game Atlus has ever made
I stopped right there.
Can it top Trauma Center? I don't think it can. I don't think Atlus can ever do that again.

>the plot is actually better than any SMT game though, and on Hard it's as hard as any SMT game

Awsome to know that playing on hard was the correct option

It's just a mix of salty as fuck kowashitai fags and tumblrinas user. Don't bother.

>best JRPG ever
Good joke but no, we just got a better JRPG too.

TMS was a decent game.

Cuckyo Mirage Sessions #FE was absolute shit. Blatant waifubait in this game is very cringeworthy.

Depends, when will we get an alternate route where we play Goro and take revenge on Shidou?

Sharing pity chocolate with Ryuji!

p5 has more blatant waifufaggotry

I preferred TMS #FE.

It did characterisation better than P5, and the dungeons were better and more varied.

>TMS #FE
not with that combat system

It reminded me of Strange Joirney actually. What was your issue with it?

"Don't be so Cock"?

Headpatting a midget!

Honestly Shidou is a more redeemable and likable villain than Goro, who, if you forgot, killed Futaba's mom as well as so many other innocent people for his own fame. I could care less about saving him. I would much prefer to have a proper introduction to Haru and a better endgame.

late game drags after everyone can chain sessions from the bench which you can't skip and magic is shit since sessions are by and large physical

It was Strange Journey with sessions that cant be skipped. I just love the battle system of Nocturne as I find it really well made. I would have actually have proffered if #FE was like Devil Survivor in terms of gameplay

Makoto is cute!

Licking Lavenza's privates!

>Standing on her tip toes

Womlets, when will they learn.

Kids Rule Adults Drool! The Game

TOES ARENT MODELED REEEEEEEE

My biggest issue with it is that missing and hitting a drain/repel/null no longer skips a turn. That completely removes the risk element of unknown resistances and makes karns a fucking joke.

nocturne is just buffs: the experience. random encounters are more dangerous than bosses which rarely use dekaja/dekunda. the only bumps are bosses that resist or repel physical.

That's JRPGs in a nutshell user

dat Cathy

disregard this I meant p5 combat

its only dangerous by how dumb it is for the game to end if the MC dies. I like buffs since they are required to always be prepared

but at the same time buffs make every boss that can't or rarely dispel them a joke. IVA did a much better job punishing buff reliance.

is yusuke a homo option or is it just fujo bait turned up to 11? This is very important.

True I cant deny that. I still wonder why people have a hard time unless they dont buff which either makes the games either easy or hard for people.

only if you read the things between the lines that don't exist. so yes it's fujo bait.

I don't know, but I think we can all agree that Morgana is the cutest video game cat boy of the year.

fujobait
he only cares about art but still gives off faggy vibes like every artist

>There was no one who could even remotely stop our boy Goro
>No one but himself

RIP
Though the ride is gone the memes live on

That feels like a betrayal. Neo Atlus can eat shit. Then again what did I expect out of a NotJun lookalike.

>It did characterisation better than P5
Can you read Japanese? Or are you another dumbass just judging based on other people's posts?
>the dungeons were better and more varied
How so? The dungeons in P5 aren't random anymore and offer a lot of different elements and gimmicks for each. Plus there's more of them than in TMS.

That's another advantage P5 has over TMS in general. TMS is only half the length of P5.

i don't think you understood the implication of my post that fujoshits are idiots that will push their headcannons when nothing of the sort is in the source material.

Got nothing against Goro, but that one Goro faggot who kept lashing out to random people in /vg/ weeks back was annoying as hell.

someone please nerf this child

ANDDDDDDDD

That was just the one Twitter shitter though.

Entirely ignored your post because it's a picture of Persona 5 with a lot of text.
I imagine there's a spoiler or two worked in as le epic troll somewhere, as as a quick bit of advice I'd say you should probably try to keep spoilers short and sweet so people don't just ignore the fuck out of them.

igor is a fake
final boss is demiurge
gameplay is pretty good

Oh.
FUCKING WANNABE GAMER GEEK SQUATTING L FANGIRL SLUUUUT.

he didn't post any spoilers, just his opinion

Caroline and Justine are looking at you, user.

Say something quick!

There actually isn't any spoilers other than the one under your post.

Makoto is canon.

Futuba kills herself
Goro kills the MC
Makoto is still probably used goods

>if I had started learning Japanese at the time of the first delay I would have been able to play P5 at release
Who /regret/ here?

>ricer keyboard and mouse
>those shitty glow in the dark stars
confirmed for worst girl

Start now so this never happens to you again.

Unless you're looking forward to Danganronpa V3, in which case, it's going to happen again.

I knew that this would happen but I am just too lazy to learn moon.

For me it will be always Mother 2 / Earthbound

If it might be recognized as jrpg at all

I haven't played P5 yet but Nocturne and P2 are tied for best story with Raidou 2 for best actual moral choice at the center of it all.

I'm sure P5 will be good but I doubt they'll be able to cover all those bases.

>Nocturne
>story
....

That's correct user.

It's very minimalist and more theatrical and thematic than concrete, but it has a story, and that "less is more" story ended up being better than a lot of bloated JRPG soap opera narratives.

>EOPs talking about "story"

kek

I ain't no weeb, but I do wanna play some nip games that never get translated. How do I git gud at learning Japanese? I learned German very easily because both my parents are German, and it's very similar to English. Best method for learning?

>playing a turn based game for the gameplay
....

she almost doesn't need to kneel for a blowjob

>I learned German

Hey guys how did I learn German?

welp, bachelor route it is then. Does it at least have someone as good as Ai?

What happened to real Igor? And where the fuck is Nyarly?

Opinions.
Honestly, the main girls don't feel very interesting.
Kidnapped and replaced by Demiurge. He looks like a giant perfume bottle. You free the real Igor at the end and he actually has his P3/P4 voice again.
Dead, like P2.

>>Honestly, the main girls don't feel very interesting.

They don't cater to hamburger tastes where everyone must be an autistic meme master.

Nice meme.
>he actually has his P3/P4 voice again.
How? The VA is dead. Did they reuse dialogue from previous games?

no.

But Futaba is exactly that.
Lavenza does most of the talking while Igor gets few reused lines.

Yes I am sure that hikkis were born in murrica.

they're fucking feathermen you pleb

I wonder how they'll do it in the dub then since the english voice actor is still alive.

If they get a different VA to play Igor for the main game, won't the twist be too obvious?

>no porn yet

WHAT THE FUCK?!

>best jrpg ever
You know, that phrase makes me think about Ni No Kuni.

It had the potential and a lot of pieces to be one of the best jrpgs ever, but it squandered it really bad.

can u find places easy? like is there markers set up?

PLEASE
PLEASE TELL ME HOW THIS ISN'T A DATING SIMULATOR.


You can shit on SMT or whatever you want but you are literally defending a dating sim and calling it the best JRPG.

>inb4 pulling shit out of my ass

It's by facts it's a dating simulator which has a super baby easy mode.

PLEASE
PLEASE fuck off

>>>/tumblr/

This year and next year are fucking amazing for JRPG fans. P5 was amazing and exceeded expectations, Tales of Berseria was great and made fans excited for Tales again, Ys VIII was probably GOTY. Not to mention we still have a ton of games coming still both this year and next.

>mad fag with shit taste in JRPG's who imports games to date waifu's in a language he don't know since he never learnt

I beat it a few days ago.

It was good and I liked it but it wasn't as much of an improvement over P4 as I was hoping it would be.

Actually it was a little worse in a few areas. Overall better, but still worse in parts.

>PLEASE TELL ME HOW THIS ISN'T A DATING SIMULATOR.

You can chose to date no one then faggot.

Stop posting this without explaining anything.

>a little worse in a few areas.
like what?

This is some mad as fuck projection my man.

>Normal

Fucking casuals.

>it's the best game Atlus has ever made
Whoa whoa whoa, you're entitled to liking the game, but let's not throw out statements that we'll regret later.

Why dont you just ask a question?

There's no real endgame. It feels like the game is missing its final month. It throws you into the final dungeon and you have to do it in one day.
Tons of days where you cant do anything.
I think theres like twice as much dialog as in P4.
Characters could stand to be a little bit more balanced. It's not bad and its probably better than P4 but it could be better.
Its nice that the dungeons are improved but it kinda makes second playthroughs a pain.
And some minor quirks that bugged me a little bit that aren't worth mentioning.

That's just for new game +. I beat it on Hard.

>another unexplained vague type of posts

>Its nice that the dungeons are improved but it kinda makes second playthroughs a pain.
That's something I've seen mentioned pretty often, and not only when it comes to next playthroughs. While the dungeons are definitely better, they drag on for too long.
>I think theres like twice as much dialog as in P4.
isn't that a good thing though?
Thanks for asnwering m8

K whatever.

>isn't that a good thing though?

Depends on what you play Persona for. If you liked P4 for the VN elements then you shouldn't take any issue with P5. Personally I prefer the dungeons and bosses.

I really hope they hire Dagda's actor for a lead role in the dub. God it's so refreshing to have a nice actor in a lead role in a dub.

>Hard

Still a fucking casual.

Challenge or bust.

Challenge isn't out yet.

>not playing the pirated version on PS3

retard

I haven't even played it and it's the best JRPG imo
t. JRPG player and coniseur

>people really falling for some retarded low quality bait troll user who keeps pretending he played a game by only saying vague shit with no distinctive description of P5

I said it's pretty good game, it just has some flaws. What's your problem?

>Best JRPG Ever?
>the state of nu-Cred Forums

>EOPs begging for a full summary of the whole game

AYYYY

It's a quality game, but just from this year alone Berseria was overall better.
I enjoyed it, I will replay it, Aoi Yuuki as Futaba is cute, the atmosphere for Tokyo is great. Better than P4 overall but not better than P3 in the story department.
Also they are clearly holding back things for a updated re-release/DLC/spin-off/whatever.

What is eop

It's (You).

I'm glad it'll have dlc or spin off or a sequel I want moar

In dungeons yes but in th real world no.
You have to look at the top right of the screen to see your next objective.

/jp/ term for English only peasant/pleb

a common term used in visual novel discussion for shitposting and ego stroking

The Phantom Thieves are ready to do their daily orgy meeting in Potter's room!

They already basically confirmed that there will be a spin-off of some sort

>yeah some flaws i won't bother to say, nice nice game though, love the soundtrack, i don't know the name of it but trust me, it's real good

Literally you.
Just want some detailed description of anything other than mere adjectives. You people are not typing like you played the game

I already listed the major flaws I had with the game. I just didn't list the minor ones that probably wouldnt bother most other people.

Hopefully Berseria comes out around February/Early March too. I would love to play them both back to back.

Isn't this a good thing
It means I don't have to kill myself after I finish it for the 5th time

Kick Goro out, bring Morgana in

>Characters could stand to be a little bit more balanced. It's not bad and its probably better than P4 but it could be better.
>Its nice that the dungeons are improved but it kinda makes second playthroughs a pain.

Elaborate on these 2 only then with an actual description because literally anyone who didn't play the game can say this

Where would you rank it and why?
The ending does even compares with p3's ending?
Is the story better than the previous ones?

Kick goro and morgana out

Bring the assistants in

>The ending does even compares with p3's ending?
Not him but it's not even close. Everything after Shidou feels very anticlimactic.

In the end, Makoto just ends up being a better version of Morgana and Ryuji ends as a better version of Yusuke.
The dungeons are long and have unskippable puzzle solving. Dur.

I'd say 5 > 4 > 3.
I don't think the story is better than 3's but I don't really play Persona for the story. It's just a story of high school kids making friends and saving the world.

...

>Everything after Shidou feels very anticlimactic
Maybe because you spoiled yourself on an imageboard instead of naturally experiencing it for the first time playing the game and seeing it unfold on your screen.

The internet has made most stories feel anticlimactic now because you know everything right when the game comes out.

No, he's right. The final boss just comes out nowhere.

Not really. We knew pretty much nothing about the entire Igor and Demiurge thing.

No fucking shit. The fact that he's Igor in disguise is supposed to be a huge twist for long-time fans. The man who has been helping you in every game was the villain in disguise. They couldn't have hinted at it in the main game or it would diminish the twist.

dark souls is the best jrpg, by the mere factor of gameplay.

>ask to elaborate with actual description
>says vague shit again
>even says a p5 character is a better version than a p5 character

Well well thanks for proving yourself as fake

How fucking spoiled do you want to be?

He's comparing their ability in combat, moron.

>EOPs

We don't have to prove anything to you. Stay assblasted for the next 6 months.

People were calling that twist ever since his VA was revealed.
The thing is, the Shidou battle feels like it had great build up and after that it feels like the game is done. Except it's not. And while everything that happens later makes sense thematically and are actually great ideas, you just kinda lose interest. And then you get timeskips, cutscenes and only then it's finally over and everyone lives happily ever after. It's like the game blew it's load too early and what should've been the most important part of it is just a whimper.

How are S-Links in this game (or whatever they renamed them to). Are they really different than they were before?

They're the same except you get combat and gameplay bonuses and you need to do a Momentos miniboss to progress.

You meet some guy, they warm up to you, you find out about their problems, and you just give up them fortune cookie responses like "I believe in you." and "Do your best." until you get a name to write in your Death Note.

They're actually useful this time around.

>still defending a guy who says
>x is a better version than x
>yeah i totally played the game and won't tell you why x is better than x or how, justs says so

There are playthroughs so i don't know why you didn't come in prepared with non obvious bair

>i want more fillers

Everything made sense, and life just goes on.

They give you various bonuses now that are useful for battle, dungeons, etc.

It's really cool and makes them feel a lot more useful than in previous games.

Why dont you just ask how x is better than x if you want to know?

Yes, playthroughs that you won't ever understand so you instead come here to beg for explanations.

Why don't you just kill yourself?

>ask you to elaborate
>why don't you ask me!!?

>beg

I'm just calling out on fags making the same posts in every thread saying the same old shit anyone could make up and typing as if they didn't play shit and just the fact this guy still can't give something that's not vague as fuck when asked it's just obvious.

You didn't specify how many details you wanted. Most people wouldnt want to be spoilered on everything.

The only faggot here is you.

all of these are real, specific enough complaints that make sense to someone like me who also played the game. screen cap it and re read it once YOU have played the game and you'll be better able to understand what he meant.

No one owes you anything, if you want in depth reviews go ask a professional. you think someone is gonna sit down on a korean basket weaving picture board and spoon feed you every thing you want to know? fuck off.

How is asking how a characters unbalanced spoiling? I said to elaborate in detail and all you did was just say x is better version of x and stopped there.

Yeah yeah common knowledge shit anyone could find out just by people spamming shit, you're not saying anything at all in detail not even something as small as what i asked for just only proves your bait is obvious as shit.

>no one owes me anything

Funny how you're trying to twist this as me asking for entire reviews, if you can't even give a single actual description of one aspect of the entire game don't expect not to be called out for trying to pretend you really played anything.

...

I did elaborate. Just not in full detail.

If you really want to know, Makoto gets Marakukaja and the extreme damage version of her spell while Morgana just gets Masukunda which is useless with Debilitate and Salvatation which by the time you get theres no bosses left you need it for.
Morgana does get Miracle Punch which can be super useful for random battles but its not useful against bosses.
Ryuji gets Matarukaja and Charge. Yusuke just gets Masukukaja which is okay but hardly the most useful buff.

I'm pretty fluent in Nipnip so I'd like to give a spoiler free impression.

>Your school life is bit harder now because you actually have to answer questions instead of "I studied afterschool"

You can use the touchpad to find out the answers. Except for the exam questions.

I'm on my second run of the game so far a majority of the P5 screenshots posted in this thread are actually my own, it's a pretty good feeling

5 is far and away the best of the Personas, and it has a lot on the recent SMT releases as well. There's a few issues mostly with how the last two dungeons are rushed to hell, and with how unless you prepare yourself for it properly you lose a lot of time in the summer.

As for the complaints about the ending, it really all hinges on how you choose to interpret it, and how much you enjoy symbolism, since that's what the bulk of the ending is,a fuckload of symbolism, both christian and societal. And about the final boss looking like a perfume bottle, I really didn't like the design at all until I looked up the details on the deity they used it for, after which I pretty much came to terms with it. I ended up liking that entire fight a lot more hours after I actually finished it then while I was still in it, which if you ask me is really the only failing of the final arc of the story.

>>The "spoiler" floating around doesn't have the context and it isn't what you think
What, so Goro doesn't suffer from daddy issues and isn't a piece of murderous shit that suicides by Shidou's palace Goro?

>The girls are all implied virgins
I'm going to need proof.

God, I wish. It really went downhill after lmao 2Goro

You need to fuck off with your cancerous mind.

I meant the spoiler of Potter-kun being dead in that picture
I can't prove it to you unless you read nip. I can take a picture of it for you to read if you want though

Goro is just another retarded character.

Oh ok. I still love pancake man

If you mean that it was just a ruse, we know. We got the second part of the cutscene right after the webm was posted. It's not a ruse in bad ends, and if you fail to meet the deadline, that scene uses the 3d models instead with Goro's hand blacked out and his voice distorted.

Nocturne Story..........................................................................................................

The artbook is fantastic

You lie this picture was posted many time, and used by every shitposter, fuckyourself.

Show me the lolis senpai

Working on it

Man...the initial Personas are fucking masterpieces. The ultimates look like dogshit by comparison. Totally rushed.

Yusuke and Futaba's second forms look better than their initials, the rest I basically agree, though Hecate's design is funny more than anything else

Both of Haru's personas look like trash, though

What's wrong with your big toe?

...

>Futaba's
Fuck you, UFO was much better than that emoji shit.
Why does everyone hate the UFO?

No, Yusuke's is ANOTHER shitty Susano-o. Do the Japanese just hate all the other stories or something? Susano-o was a main character's ultimate in Persona 2, Persona 4 and now Persona 5, AND it was an ultimate S-Link Persona in 3. I'm fucking tired of shitty ass Susano-o. He looks like a shitty Nameless King ripoff.

Hecate's design is cool but still inferior to Carmen; and I'm still bothered because Hecate has nothing to do with Carmen.

Like idk if you can't think of proper relevant ultimates...don't do them? Persona 3 had the best because they actually tied in to the Personas' lore.

They do have a connection, though. The first forms are human that rebelled against society, or in the case of necronomicon things used by human criminals. The ultimates are deities that rebelled against higher deities. That's the point of the ultimates in 5, and we were told early on that the ultimates wouldn't tie into the other's lore.

not him but that makes sense. thanks for sharing that insight.

>tfw you have 140 hours in it and can't stop playing

I think I'll romance one girl every run. I can't stand cheating.

Lol that's just a fem anons fat ass fingers
Way to be a stereotype bitch

they're just pixels senpai. fuck em all

I'm at 98 and currently abusing the reaper exploit, had to stop for a little while just because I've been playing for all of this weekend and all of last weekend as well.

I want to save one for each run though.

This is just my 2nd playthrough.

>more than three times a full time job's worth of hours in a week+5 days

y'all niggas NEETs or what?

I would probably have that time too if I didn't have to work 45 hours every week. I'll be there eventually.

Living the dream.

I played the game and honestly?

Best shit I played in years

February can't come soon enough

Now I just wanted for my PC friends to enjoy it too so maybe I would have non-shitposting people to talk about persona

Apocalypse is better

Not even memeing

but you are
Anyone who says TMS#FE or Apocalypse is better is memeing

your pc friends CAN enjoy it. ps3s are really cheap now adays, friend. there's really no excuse other than pride.

what did you think of the ending?

exploring a tokyo that isn't BTFO is more fun.

>comparing the tokyo you can explore in IV/F and the puny hallway you called "tokyo" in Persona 5

Lol

Apocalypse is a disgrace.

Final is good, especially the kill everyone ending.
P5 is better in every aspect though.

>Apocalypse is a disgrace
>Final is good
...What? Am I missing a joke here?

I don't get it either.

I'm putting off a third run until I can play Challenge Mode on the PS4

Has anyone ITT played The World Ends With You?
It's my favourite but I haven't played a huge number of JRPGs and I was wondering how you think it holds up

...

>Refuse to import because I won't be able to understand anything.
>Won't be able to play for months.

>tfw your waifu is a staple in most party setups
It's a good feeling.

I played it last year after my friend wouldn't stop gushing about it.

It was alright, but the story wasn't half as unique as people treated it. It was mostly Persona 2 meets Shakugan no Shana. In terms of plot twists I preferred Terranigma.

Mechanically it was alright, but half the time the only way to keep up with all the enemies on-screen was to spam slash moves. Also I wish the game had more evasive moves.

get over it or learn japanese. they're the only two options at this point.

all male party is the way to go. Boys only

ah fuck YOU bird brains

>the best story-based JRPG ever is one where you can't understand the story
That's fairly depressing, honestly.
