About Persona 5

Persona 5, a turn-based JRPG with visual novel elements, follows a high school student with a criminal record for a crime he didn't commit. Soon he meets several characters who share similar fates to him, and discovers a metaphysical realm which allows him and his friends to channel their pent-up frustrations into becoming a group of vigilantes reveling in aesthetics and rebellion while fighting corruption.

Every time this comes up against Chrono Trigger or FF7 the result feels the same, so does it even matter anymore

Does ELO even mean much at 440 duels, or just noise?

Anyone else remember picking this up right when it localized? I wasn't even sure what to expect going in, just curious how many of us discovered it that way.

Anyone actually track how it does against turn-based rivals versus the gacha crowd? I only play in short bursts so I can't judge the full picture myself.

Est-ce que 72% de victoires ça veut vraiment dire quelque chose ici ? Je me demande si ce n'est pas juste l'effet de mode qui gonfle les votes, parce que franchement je ne vois pas ce qu'il apporte de si exceptionnel par rapport à d'autres JRPG plus anciens et bien mieux construits.

Chrono Trigger gagne toujours ce genre de duel, tu paries combien ?

Le vrai souci c'est le système de vote lui-même, il favorise la fréquence des duels plus que la qualité réelle, non ?

Lo he rejugado hace poco y sigo alucinando con el estilo, en serio, CADA menú, cada transición tiene una personalidad que no he visto en ningún otro JRPG, ni antes ni después. La historia engancha, los personajes se sienten reales aunque sean un poco arquetípicos, y el ritmo entre exploración y combate es casi perfecto. Para mí merece estar mucho más arriba de lo que está.

a mí lo que me quedó fue el ritmo entre las partes más lentas y los combates, algo se pierde ahí (aunque el estilo lo compensa bastante)

Tú crees que ese ritmo lento se nota más si lo comparas con algo como Expedition 33, o es cosa mía?

Non mais sérieux, comparer ça à Genshin en permanence n'a aucun sens, ce sont deux univers complètement différents.
