It goes without saying that the Shin Megami Tensei subseries, Persona, has become one of the most beloved RPG series in recent memory, but it didn’t start out that way.
Turn-based goodness.
Because it's the newest iteration and they learned from their past games. 2 reasons A-holes
The article is talking about the series as a whole, not just the newest one.....
That isnt always true.. Just look at the recent Mass Effect. Great game but some stuff definitely was better in previous versions.
SOUNDTRACK
INTRIGUING MYSTERIES
SOCIAL LINK SYSTEM
FANTASTIC CHARACTERS
STYLIZED ANIME-LIKE GRAPHICS
TRADITIONAL YET DEEP TURN-BASED COMBAT
THE MATURE THEMES
THE DAY TO DAY STRUCTURE
DISTRACTIONS THAT ACTUALLY FEEL MEANINGFUL
SUPERNATURAL ELEMENTS AND BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED CREATURES
Here you go folks.
SOOOOOOOOOO like the last few Persona games then?
Why mention Tales...let's see...
Both are JRPG's
Both have a long running series
Both are heavy in Anime
Not to mention the article is saying that Persona is the best RPG ever!
*gasp!!* Or...am I downplaying Sony and PS4 again??
While tales of Berseria is a good game, it doesn't even hold a Candle vs Persona 5.
It's a shame they didn't just talk about Shin Megami Tensai in general
Twinfinite Writes: With the release of Persona 5 we take a look at some absolutely stunning cosplay from across the long-running RPG series.
I loved the Persona series, lets see what they do with this game.
Why are they sticking with the First Person view? Why not go to the 3rd person like in Persona 3 and 4? I know its a remake, but why not stick with the formual thats working.
Still give mes another reason to pick up a PSP, just hope i dont get screwed with a new model right after I get it.
I would not call the original a classic unless you are talking about the Japanese version.
The US version of Persona on PS1 was butchered in many ways. The script was changed in many places and the characters were even renamed to sound more American. It wasn't really until Persona 2 and more so Persona 3 that the series really started to shine.
The great thing about the new version of Persona coming out is that they are fixing all of that horrible stuff. They are re translating the game and making it fall more in line with the style of Persona 3 and 4 so as to appeal to the new found fans of the series. This will basically be the definitive version of the game if you will.
Can't wait I just hope they hurry up and get the game out soon.
