Why does atlus get a free pass despite them rehashing the same game?
I think it comes down to the fact that it's been so long since the last mainline game that people are just glad they have a new Persona game, along with everything that follows it.

imo P5 main plot wasn't just a bit weaker than P3/4, it was way worse and pretty much ruined the game for me.
Can't comment on P3 and 4, but I dropped P5 when it decided to just pull a whole bunch of bullshit out of its ass once the story catches up to the interrogation, with the exuse being 'yeah, you conveniently forgot all of this set-up, because of the drugs the cops shot you up with'. This was such lazy writing it made me want to throw up. It was the final straw to an already diminshing experience.

I was referring to Persona 4. Now, 8 years on, we have Persona 5 and everyone is caught up in the hype of it and everything that will follow.

well that's why i can understand Persona 5 Hype, but what i don't understand is getting hyped over a Persona 5 rehash like Royal.

Because it's an expanded re-release/remake that will make a game they love even better.

These games are not rehashed, they have a ton of extra content. It's not really like with dlc where you get an extra self contained thing. There's vast system wide additions that matter throughout the playthrough. In a game like Persona adding a new main party member to the game shifts the dynamic and makes everything need to be adapted around it and that's just a small fraction of the new elements. It's basically it's own distinct experience, much more distinct than oh...I dunno....one Mario game to the next? :p

You speak like other publishers don't get a free pass from the same people. One big difference is that, unlike the original, it won't be available for PS3; so it will take full advantage of the PS4 hardware to improve animations and graphics.

The game was actually a ps3 game ported to ps4 so I doubt they can do too much more to make it look better. Though the game is mainly really really stylistic so it doesn't even need high power graphics. I expect mainly lower loading times and maybe better backgrounds or something.


Persona isn't really a series about the graphics to begin with, which is funny cause p5 looks amazing, but games like p4 didn't look nearly as good as other games that came out in 2008 yet it was way better in most aspects than the competition.

Persona 5 went style over substance, and the trailer already show they are going full steam on that aspect. The original game already had a couple of oddities (like people materializing from thin air when entering a new location) that are result of working around the lack of processing power. And it seems they are adding flashier sequences that most likely would suffer of slow framerate in PS3.

This lady says it best:


Don't worry, she never yells in the video.

Me, personally, this is nothing new for Atlus. Once a Persona game is made, expect a bunch of spin-offs on Playstation (twice on the 360) or on a portable Nintendo console.

*Experience gain has been adjusted to be faster
*On top of Kasumi (new party member) and Maruki (school counsellor) there will be more confidants added
*Kasumi's addition to the story will not dramatically alter it, but will instead give new perspectives and flavour to the current cast and events
*There will be around 20 new music tracks
*Owners of the original game with save data will receive bonuses, however, you will not be able to transfer saves

I wonder how the save file thingy is gonna work for those with ps3 saves. Ah well.

Also they mentioned some new superboss enemies called Kouma that will be added.

ORLY? I am always in favor of more super bosses in my Atlus games. Part of why I enjoy gameplay in modern SMT games over Persona is because there is actually an incentive to min/max your team at end game.
