I m still super disappointed by it.
But I m gonna buy it anyway.

It will be a good game I guess... It s just sadly not the persona 5 I wanted on switch xD

 

I will ask again:

Who. The. Fuck. Asked. For. This?

I mean, on the one hand, it looks like it's not just another *just mash the attack button to kill everything in sight with no strategy or challenge whatsoever" Warriors game, but this all looks like stuff that would have made for rad DLC or new stuff for Persona 5 The Royal. The new locations to explore while you have some downtime? New anime scenes (that I really question the point of when you have a very good looking art style in 3D that should negate the purpose of? It'd be like if Guilty Gear Xrd or the new one had a traditional anime cutscene not rendered using the engine graphics in real time, you know?) seem to imply this will have more going on as well in addition to the need to sneak around, and I'm sure the OST will be a part of my acid jazzam, but at the end of the day, this is about as compelling to a Persona player as is Yakuza going from having real time combat to turn-based combat because they need to make a shallow Dragon Quest reference. (Which, considering the game comes out at the end of the year in Japan (is there a US release date for Yakuza: Like a Dragon?), and the timing of the remasters, may be an experiment by Sega and Team RGG on what sells and/or reviews well, now that I think about it.) I'm sure diehard Persona fans will get it, but while I personally love playing the games post Persona 1 regardless if it's Mark or Masao dancing crazy or if it's God Kandori or SUPER GUIDO!, this game's stigma of having Musou gameplay isn't exactly winning any points in its favor for this Mad Dog!

 

The radically different play style and being made by a different company are likely why it is it's own thing and not just an add on. The type of game play isn't for everyone anyway so not really shocked to see people not so thrilled about it.

As for the anime scene thing compared to guilty gear, well, guilty gear nails the 2d look more then persona 5 does. Chances are by persona 6(whatever decade that comes out in) the sepreatly animated scenes will be a thing of the past assuming atlus nails the asthetic as well as guilty gear and dragonball fighterz do.

 

Looks like musou (eg shit)

 

Can i play this game past day 7 or will someone be mad if i do?

 

I was so disappointed … and no ... i won‘t buy this shit. Hoped for at least a vanilla version of P5.

 

Yes, sad truth

 

looks good, but I am wondering whether kasumi will appear in this game since persona 5 R is supposedly the new canon

 

I personally think this looks great. Sure, it's not what we wanted, but it looks to be a welcome addition to the weird, fun, and wacky spin-offs this series has had.
