Not only we have had alot of games but all these games have had positive reviews, and some getting straight 9/10 and 10/10.

Nioh got robbed.

 

[BRSxIgnition]

These seem to be the most solid/popular options for the OT Title so far:

• Persona 5 [OT] My Neighbor Dorobou
• Persona 5 [OT] Lives Will Change
• Persona 5 [OT] Lupin the 5th
• Persona 5 [OT] Unfuckwithable Coolness
• Persona 5 [OT] Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There
• Persona 5 [OT] Take Your Heart

Any other suggestions before a poll is created? (ETA ~7:30PM PST)

REMINDER: "Coming Winter 2014" has already been used by the Import OT.

Persona 5 |OT| This is MY Persona!

 

[kewlmyc]

I love everything about this picture.

 

[LordKano]

Persona 5 [OT] Between dream and reality, lives and hearts

Spoiler

maybe too obscure of a reference

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Heh. P5, RDR2 and BotW are the only three games in recent memory where imo, there is zero doubt that they would cement themselves in the 90+ category, even with the limited content shown of P5/BotW, and the absolutelynothing.jpg of RDR2.

+ TLOU Part II

Coming Winter 2014

Sorry, I should have kept that in the description, huh?

Coming Winter 2014 has already been used by the Import OT.

How about Coming Winter 20XX?

Really though, I love 'Lupin the 5th' the most.

 

[Funyarinpa]

|OT| You are slave. Want emancipation?

Once seeing that phrase on the initial reveal it's stuck to my mind, we are all gonna slaves to this game.

I second this as a possible OT, think it should get a chance in the poll.

 

[TuXx]

Persona 5 [OT] Better than Jared Leto's Joker

 

[Dabi]

Yo so this game will prob take a 100 hr to finish right? Shieeeeet

 

[Servbot24]

+ TLOU Part II

Probably Mario Odyssey too

 

[tintin1029]

So why is there a thread with 12 pages about a game getting one review?

It's not that as much as it's just an excuse to make one final hype thread before the actual review thread lol

 

[Sumio Mondo]

You're right, this is taking valuable space away from the 25 switch/botw threads on the front page. We could be discussing that, instead.

Or the umpteen other Zelda threads. Really kinda getting sick of seeing Zelda everywhere, really makes me want to backlog it even more until the crazy hype has died down a bit.

 

[LotusHD]

Probably even more for me, I take forever with these type of games. Gotta beat everything else before April, that's for sure.

Weird reasoning, but alright.

Guys stop tryin to make fetch...I mean 'coming Winter 20xx' happen

The other suggestions are better

I vote for unfuckwithable coolness!

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Guys, focus discussion on the review and divert other discussion to the Persona community thread.

If you can't keep on-topic, we'll just have to lock this one and you'll all have to wait for whenever the general Persona 5 review thread goes up.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Nm. My bad.

 

[Abelard]

I don't really know much about Persona other than how beloved it is so I searched up some game play- by god, how you guys manage to play this game without wanting to throw up? I honestly feel like I'd get a seizure after an hour of play.

 

[Wireframe]

This fucking year, dear god.

 

[Mr. Hyde]

I am voting for Lupin the 5th. I might be bias due to my love of Lupin.

Hah what do you mean? Style is a big part of the Persona series. I love how over the top stylish it is.

 

[Ushay]

Are the Persona games related at all?

 

[the_sun_king]

Are the Persona games related at all?

Persona 1, Persona 2: Innocent Sin, and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment have the strongest connection. Persona 2 is a duology: the two games are two halves of a complete story.

Since Persona 3, the games just have passing references/easter eggs to previous entries.

 

[BossDarkseid]

[.JayZii]

It's hard to address such a vague criticism.

Thankfully for you Persona 5 is literally the only game that looks like that, so you should be in the clear.

 

[Dabi]

Probably even more for me, I take forever with these type of games. Gotta beat everything else before April, that's for sure.

Lol tell me about it... Normally, I'd be cool with a game like this releasing early on in the year but the first few months of 2017 look like a goddamn holiday season lol. So many titles, so little time.

 

[faridmon]

Zelda better watch its back, someone is coming for that top spot

P5 will be beyond amazing but not in a million years will it score 98 on metacritic.

I've never played a Persona and P5 will be my first. I like the style PS5 has.

 

[barybll]

P5 will be beyond amazing but not in a million years will it score 98 on metacritic.

To be honest, its very unlikely that we gonna see a higher score in 10 years

 

[faridmon]

P5 will be beyond amazing but not in a million years will it score 98 on metacritic.

I was just joking, no need to take it seriously.

Both of them will/already are amazing games, hopefully people will move on comparing between the two. I am already sick of Horizon being brought up all the time.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

That i agree with.

 

[ManeKast]

Best year of gaming ever

Day 1.

Certainly the best I can remember. 1998 better look out.

 

[DJChuy]

Mid 90s average. Let's do this.

I think the OT title should highlight the games turned based combat. Prove that turned based can be great in AAA games because frankly Persona 5 has the best turned based system ever made, imo.

Persona 5 OT| True Turn Based Gaming: Coming Winter 2014

Is my suggestion.

 

[TheKastorian]

Well. Guess I should pre-order!

 

[Deleted member 518609]

Absolutely. Going back to other JRPGs after P5 just feels incredibly sluggish because of how fast battles fly by in P5. Not only are the menus stylish, they're incredibly quick and once you get a hang of the controls, you can almost always execute the option you want to before the menu is even done animating. Mapping the commands to buttons on the controller is fucking genius too. During some of the boss fights, things were in such constant momentum that I would forget the game was even turn based.
This game is the definitive proof that it is absolutely possible to "modernize" a JRPG while still keeping it turn based; It doesn't need to become an ARPG to innovate.

Without spoiling me too much, how is the dungeon crawling in this game?

It was atrocious in 3 FES and 4, and probably the only thing keeping me from considering either of those games truly GOTY worthy.

Completely different, and far, far better. All but one of the dungeons are handcrafted, rather than the procedurally generated slogs of P3/4. The design in them is fantastic, each of them is built around a set of gimmicks to keep them interesting and from being plain dungeon crawls, and the art direction in them is superb.

This time they are hand crafted levels and every dungeon is drastically different from one another. It's great.

Yup. This is how I feel. Even though I have only watched up to the 3rd dungeon in a lets play, it's clear as day to me how amazing the battle system is. Simple to understand and use yet able to allow you to be extremely tactical and strategic.

There's a

bonus dungeon

that's a lot like Tartarus but the main dungeons are hand crafted.

 

[ricelord]

Persona 5 |OT| Just 3 years late.

 

[Dangansona]

Persona 5 |OT| "Are you really GOTY as the rumor says?"

Edit: For those who imported, does Ann talk like that in the JP version?

 

[King Tubby]

My hype never died. Still my most anticipated game of the whole year.

As for OT's I like Persona 5 |OT| The Great Brain Robbery

 

[BossDarkseid]

That's quite interesting. I never minded the dungeons in P4 but for some reason I've never been able to get THAT far through P3/P3P because I get burnt out on the dungeons.

[Persona 5 [OT] My Neighbor Dorobou

I love this one.
