Jaya's comics are always good, and yeah, everyone thinking Ann is hot is definitely canonOMG

The burnout is absolutely real. I struggle to even talk about the series, let alone play it. When you see the same arguments, the same "realizations" (like P5 being problematic) the same take, the same spinoff cycle, it just gets a bit too much honestly. I'm still a Persona fan, but the fire that kept me posting in the 8 or so community threads on the old forum is gone.
To me, that's less about the games themselves and more about certain parts of the fandom. Things changed ever since November 24, 2013. There are just certain things I don't focus on when it comes to discussion anymore.
Ehhh... not burned out... I can appreciate it each modern Persona for what they offer.
Completely agree with this. Almost every week there's a thread here complaining about some aspect of P5 and it sucks a lot of the enthusiasm out.
Pretty much how I feel too, with the exception that I've got some interest in PQ2. Even then a lot of interest in PQ2 has been dampened by the fact that it's on the 3DS and I find the 3DS a chore to play.
What is that avatar and why do like 10 people have it? Lol
Lost a Smash related avatar bet. Though I got a new one I like ready as soon as it’s over.
My guess is a Persona 6 announcement in 2020 and release in 2021. So 5 years since the release of Persona 5, as opposed to 8 years between the release of P4 and P5.
Wouldn't surprise me, hell I think we could get a 2020 release and go for a real P4 like release. Unlike with P5 the P Studio team isn't working on a new game (Cathrine), ports (P3P and P4G), building a new game engine, porting to PS4, or dealing with the shaky financial situation of the parent company. They have an engine, a platform, and design experience.
Are we sure they're not building a new engine though? P5 is a PS3 game ported to PS4, and PS5 will probably be out by the time P6 is released.
Yes, but unlike that time as well, core members responsible for P3/P4/P5 have left the studio, notably the director. Atlus has been actively recruiting for all of their 3 departments for about 2 years now, and there'll probably be a lot of thinking required to determine the creative direction of the mainline franchise moving forward. They've said they need to surpass P5 with P6 like their goal was from P4 to P5, and with a new director and new leads heading things, it'll take some time.
The fandom is garbage, there's no question about that. Talking about the series just isn't satisfying pretty much no matter where you go (though this thread's a bit of an exception)
I may get flak for this but I started missing P4 dungeons by the time I was halfway through the game. I adored the battle system, but the design of each dungeon, while a huge upgrade over the previous two games, wasn't that interesting and I couldn't stand the tedious puzzles.
It's not that important. You can beat the game without maxing any of the social links.
It's so not important that you can beat the game without getting any of them past rank 1 if you really wanted to
Thanks
Oh yeah, absolutely do them, theyre good character stories. Just that theyre not necessary for progression is all.
This is absolutely true. That's why I would love for them to make it possible to get in and out of dungeons without losing time.
Unless you want a fair fight with him, go on a flu season day (December 8 and 9) and see if he starts a fight with despair. If he doesn't, run away (hopefully you have Hifumi's confidant maxed so you're guranteed to run) and then try and fight him again. Once he shows up with despair, just wait out the win.
I enjoyed P5's dungeons a lot but not making them consume time would definitely solve the biggest issue people have which is burnout from trying to beat them in a single day. Sometimes the story forces you to take a break which could be a solution but that also leads to frustration because then the dungeon will take away more time from other stuff and there's nothing you can do about it. There's also the issue of people missing the deadline because they didn't expect to get kicked out (though with the amount of warnings the game gives you it's your fault if you leave it for the very last day).
I actually liked completing them in one go, it added a layer of strategy and tension to the battles as you had to carefully manage HP and SP. I would have preferred them to be more straightforward though instead of forcing puzzles that were more padding than actual challenges.
So cool!
WTF at the A.I.G.I.S FOE. Kinda sticks out next to all the cute Wall-E style robots.
