Be aware though that enemies can do the very same things to you.
Thus, making enemy exploitation and knowledge of your foes a primary factor in winning the battle. If an attack hits the enemies weak point or triggers a critical hit, you will gain a press turn (essentially an extra attack when all is said and done). To make things more interesting, is the fact that you can lose and gain turns in a few ways. By executing an attack (physical, magical, or using an item) one press turn will be used up. How you use these opportunities is crucial to your chance at winning the fight. Basically, one attack is allotted per character deployed in battle. The Press-turn battle system is perhaps one of my favorite RPG battle systems, as it forces you to think about strategy rather than plowing throw every encounter doing the same attacks. I’ll talk more about this later, once I finish up this thought. The concept here is that these creatures, called Persona, are shards of the mind of the psyche of the characters and embracing their power will lead the characters to self-discovery, and in this case, stand up for themselves. So yeah, you do go around capturing monsters to force into battles, but it’s a bit different here, as these creatures (from gods to toilet demons) act as a way for the characters to use magic and strengthen attacks rather than actually throwing down.

At the game’s core are two gameplay features that define the series – demon negotiating and the press-turn battle system.ĭemon negotiations are what led some to call this series “goth Pokémon”, but in truth Megami Tensei, the first game in this series, was released nearly a decade before Pikachu was a glimmer in anyone’s mind. And while many former genre-mates like Final Fantasy have gone to action-RPG land, Atlus has doubled down and it paid off. So, what makes this game so good? Does the near unanimous praise this game has garnered from review sites come from anywhere or is this just weebs hyping something? The answer is – Persona 5 is a near perfect classic turn-based Japanese RPG – a genre that everyone has been abandoning due to age and lack of innovation. I’m honestly leaning towards a “student surpassing the teacher” moment, and I think Persona 5 has been my favorite SMT game ever made. As this series has matured, the staff has shifted the balance around a bit until they finally hit the sweet spot.

SMT or “Megaten” games tend to be pretty hardcore, and for a while Persona has existed as a more casual friendly entry into the series, full of anime tropes and cut-scenes. If you want to see more info, I did a write-up a while back about how controversial the series was, that sort of shows you some themes and ideas within. I actually started to write this review a few weeks ago, but decided to stop in case the game “crapped the bed” at the end like so many do – thankfully that was not the case, and if there was any way to eloquently describe the opposite act I would write that instead.įor those unaware of the series my gushing pertains to, Persona is a long running spin-off of another series called Shin Megami Tensei which dates back to the NES days. My Playthrough of Persona 5 was 110 hours and I didn’t have time to do everything I wanted – I’m not one to immediately re-play a game, but I kind of want to with this one. Usually a lot of JRPGs (Japanese Role Playing Games) tend to be good for about 25-30 hours, then fetch quest you to a final boss that you don’t care about. As of this writing, I just saw the end credits roll and with a tear in my eye I wish that I could play more.

I wish I had a great reason that involves international espionage or something, but the truth happens to be that I’ve been spending most of my free time playing a new RPG from Atlus called Persona 5. Be warned, some images will contain spoilers.Ī few of you might be wondering where I’ve been hiding this month. NOTE: I will leave this as spoiler free as possible and describe main themes rather than specific story notes.
