Servers come online for China tomorrow! I won’t be able to play until Taiwan servers come online (April 18) but I will definitely be covering the game! Subscribe and stay tuned!
Devs confirmed 60 pulls on day one, 250+ at the end of the first week There's gonna be a 5 star character selector where you can choose between Mona, Skull and Ann And there's gonna be a Novice banner where you can choose the 5 star character you want to get after 50 pulls max, it includes all 5 star characters available at release excluding Joker Besides Wonder, we have 4 characters that are given for free during story, the gacha tutorial, and with pre-registration bonuses So at the very least for the beginning of the game, it's gonna be very f2p friendly
I did read that! Sounds like what they needed to do to get it off the ground tbh. I really hope they continue to be somewhat friendly! Thanks for the information!
@@zeffyno8 No problem! I've been very interested in the game over the past few weeks now And since i know there isn't a lot of information about the game in english, i try to spread it as much as i can
The animations look so sick, I honestl can't wait for Persona 6 and Metaphor: RePhantazio. And also for this to hopefully come to PS5 etc.… or at least to Europe on phones.
The Pity in this game is actually pretty much to what is the standard for Gachas, with its pity being almost exactly like the hoyoverse games. Saying its pity is low is by no means true by gacha standards. a 5 star or UR is the equivalent to getting triple 7s on a slot machine. What makes that 0.6% disgustingly low or not will be more so based on how easy it is to get the currency to pull either by playing the game, from the devs, or The conversion rate. For Example, Genshin you get maybe 50 pulls a month doing EVERYTHING possible while in Star Rail getting 30 for free from the devs just by logging in when a patch comes out and thats not including doing all the content. one makes that 90 wishes to get a 5star character feel alot more painful and annoying
@@FrostiOrca Comparing it to Hoyo just makes it even less appealing for me cause I find it to be the worst system outside of the pity carrying over. They might even make the game unrerollable, or very fucking tedious, if they're looking follow Hoyo's footstep, which to me is another L Maybe I'm just being spoiled lately cause I've been playing Solo Leveling Arise but that game has prolly one of the best gacha system I've seen so far. It has the pity carryover of Hoyo but you get a shit ton of free pulls for both standard and limited, the rates for a 5 star is at least above 1%, pity/soft pity is also lower, and you get to pick 4 5* to have boosted rates on the standard banner which you can switch around whenever you like. I havent touched any of my gems and I own 10/15 5 stars already, including the limited, mainly from the free pulls
Thats just a comparison with a gacha of similar rates. Genshin also doesnt use the SSR model for Characters. Hell Arise has a 1.2 rate for an SSR which is its max rarity until it possible adds UR like most gachas and even then you could consider its low when compared to say Blue Archive (2.5%) and FE Heroes (6%). Being able to choose your first Standard character is fairly common nowadays with even Star Rail letting you choose one on its standard banner after a set amount of pulls and an assured one for its beginner banner. Hell Cookie Run Kingdom which is one of the bigger Gachas has no pity system but because of the amount of gems you get it makes it extremely unlikely you wont get them on banner or you can buy them later with milage points. the 1% is just your chance to randomly get them at any point and which unless youre pulling alot in one setting most people wont notice
@@joshburt8145 Judging by what's been said already; my guess is they'll likely take the Fate/Grand Order approach when during New Years and Launch Anniversary events; you'll be able to spin on a Guaranteed SSR Gacha; but you have to pay using real money for it.
I’m more excited to play P5x than worrying about the banners itself. I did play Hatsune miku colorful stage and it also has gatcha. I remember spending so many gems but unfortunately didn’t get a four star at all, so I basically just gave up the event gatchas and just play the rhythm game. Can’t wait for US release!
One thing I always loved about the Persona titles is the general feeling of the cast being in the fight together; hopefully the randomized aspects of this title doesn't take away from that
Very well explained, and 100% agree with the gacha line of thought. Hope to see more and hopefully it will not be an incredibly predatory game in that regard. Pretty good vid, ill be waiting for more info from you about this title and any other things regarding persona games or atlus IPs, what a hell of a vid
As a Slovak person I CANT BELIEVE that they made a JRPG character based on our national hero Juraj Janosik xdd this is so random and I fricking love it
Just finished persona 5 royal twice after I missed the third semester, currently on my 86th hour of p4g, 5 hours of tactica, and 2 in strikers so far, I want every single persona game to have a pc port ❤️😂
I think, new conception I will not see there, it repeat itself in new decoration, game interesting, but I want more see in this game, more philosophy moment, more older heroes , not only children from school... It was in persona 2, but now more entertaining, than deep...that what I see right now, but need play game, before make solution of course... 😔
They made Persona 5 a gacha game, like Honkai: Star Rail? o_o Wow. I mean, I'm just happy they made it turn-based combat like mainline P5. Intrigued so far!
I won't lie i was extra excited looking at wonder and going "a female protag? YAY!" but thats ok. I hate this isnt a spin off game coming the states and is just a gacha game, cause it looks good

@@Sleepy_LunaticIt’s a balance between cash grab and wanting to make something out of passion. Some games skew more towards one than the other. Unfortunately we both know which end gatcha games fall under.
So what about the fusions? Will they literally not exist anymore, science you get personas from lootboxes I'd assume that you don't get them from the lvl either? I don't know about you, but fusions is one of my favorite mechanics in persona games.
Not sure about the level thing but you definitely can fuse Personas. It is not yet known how this will work with the gacha stuff but I will find out when the game comes out in a few days.
i still prefer persona 5 royal main protagonist and format of the game but atleast there IS a persona game, not sure if persona 6 is still a thing tho. -the persona series kinda seems like the cheat code for atlus for easy money lol-

@@YurieSnowie You know I thought the game cost money and had in game purchases my bad. That's where my problem with the game was. Since it's free to play that's ok. Sorry about that. This is what I get for commenting before finishing the vid.
Not interested in gacha trash, but this one may include all the characters in Persona series, and may turn some NPCs into playable persona users. Hope I can play as Nijima Sae one day, or Maya from Persona 2. F2P is my way to go. If the gambling is so harsh I can't pull anything interesting, I will probably drop it. Don't want to support gambling addiction anti-consumer games.
@zeffyno8 Thank goodness, as I worried they would leave that out to have an excuse to implement gacha mechanics like the new Protag doesn't possess the wild card ability.
SMT gacha game is nothing new. They have fusion mechanic in Dx2 SMT Liberation which was released back in 2018, I don't see why they wouldn't incorporate the same thing to P5X since the game mechanic is much more smaller in scale compared to Dx2.
This isn't a main line persona game, its a dollar store rip of cash grab gotcha shit heap. Don't expect any of the mechanics of a mainline game nor should you expect a story similar to p5. Everyone loves p5 this isn't p5 this just uses characters from that game as a selling point for idiots.
Ok its nice but what i doubtful if the game will never ending story typical online or mobile game. Just the persona game itself just single player game focus story
Something tells me they made the gacha mechanics to appeal to the gacha game community. Can’t say I’m a fan of it but the animations look clean as ever.
The attendant this time around is pretty stacked, so hopefully she has just as much character. Also hoping that there is an english va option, cause I ain't playing a persona game for the Japanese VA.
You’re not playing a Japanese game, telling a very Japanese story, with Japanese characters based in Japan, in Japanese? 😂😂😂 Playing it in English isn’t the truest experience noob.
I have a video coming out explaining all of that soon but most likely it will be like any other gacha unfortunately. BUT, they are giving a lot of incentives like 250+ free pulls during launch and the main party members will be free as well from the story!
I don't know if it's been 100% confirmed for Persona 1 and 2 besides some context clues in the Velvet Room. However between all the references made across the modern games, both subtle and undeniably blatant (that poster was also in base P5 by the way), it's a given by now that Persona 3, 4 and 5 all exist in the same timelines. There are minor variations in alternate timelines like P5X and P3P, but the core events and most main characters should still apply even there.
Persona 3, 4, and 5 all happen in the same world. Shin Megami Tensei, P1 and P2 all happen in the same as well, but it's not confirmed if they happen in the same world as 3 - 5
From the game's official premise, it is set in a parallel universe from the one in P5. Not sure how that works narratively but I read it from a few news outlets and the official Chinese website.
@@zeffyno8 True, it can't take place in the main games' timeline AND outright retell elements of P5 at the same time. I guess that makes it an adjacent canon of sorts? (Like how P3P was confirmed as such during PQ2.)
They are just included to sell copies. This is literally just a pathetic cash grab using a beloved existing IP and it's characters to drive interest in their generic copy paste gotcha game
Game looka great and all... but it's a gacha game. How exactly is it supposed to have a single-player story mode when it's a gacha game? I don't get it. You play the story, but other players play it better if they "Pull" better characters? I'm not interested in online games, but if the gacha nature of this game is detrimental to its story mode/gameplay, I won't be able to enjoy it
You don't pull the main characters. You pull equips and demons/persona. They do have main stories and event stories. You unlock the main stories as you progress the main content. You could also choose to play the event stories to unlock event characters, equips and demons/persona. This is what I remembered from playing Dx2 Liberators for a short period of time, f2p.
6:00 Reducing player choice to increase the difficulty is incredibly poor game design and does nothing other than dumbing down combat, which is fatal in turn based rpgs because the main draw of combat in _all_ smt games has always been strategy. It's literally _always_ possible to greatly balance a video game using only numbers, e.g. healing can never be overpowered if the amount is low, e.g. in Persona 4 the first couple of dungeons were by far the hardest because your healing options were super weak and there was a major risk of slipping into a cycle of having to use all your turns just to prevent party member death or accepting losses and trying to actually win. It's just that reducing player choice is the cheap and easy way to increase difficulty and "balance" the game so it's used commonly as a crutch when the devs are not good enough to find a good way to balance the game in the time and budget they are given (or management are total idiots). SMT Liberation Dx2 is another SMT gacha game and instead of going the way of P5x to reduce choice and fun it just adds a huge amount of choice, there are several hundred 5* demons by now and ALL have 1-3 unique skills with Sega adding a lot of new mechanics like enemy affinity reduction, Fortify / Decay that increase or decrease demon HP by 20% per count, etc., etc., etc.. Sega also frequently adds hard boss fights that show that even in a game with a myriad of different powerful skills and tons of mechanics, difficulty and balance are merely a matter of tweaking numbers and existing game mechanics. E.g. One of the hard bosses was added when zeus based parties were popular and did ungodly amounts of damage so in order to prevent this boss from being just steamrolled easily by such a party Sega gave them 150% physical damage reduction, crippling such parties that heavily relied on Zeus and Odin dealing massive amounts of physical elec damage and critting a lot. PS: also, if healing is too much of an issue DX2's version of the Curse ailment reduces all healing effects by 80% so they could have enemies apply this, etc.
some SMT fans have always coped that difficulty and strategy were the main draws because they love to worship at the shrine of difficulty but the *real* draw has always been the stories and philosophy and crazy shit that happens be it funny or not
the normal 1 more system will not work with the gacha system for what do you need diffrent characters if you just win every fight when you get 1 weakness hit as said in the video, we dont really know anything about the gam if it has relics or eidalons like honkai star rail which will make characters better and also it doesnt work with the new aoa attack sytem from p5x
@@daiame772 I mean it’s really easy to play and the important gameplay stuff is in English for the most part. But if you don’t wanna play it that’s fine to wait man
Do you know the name of a girl with long black hair? I can't seem to find it anywhere. She's probably part of the story but I can't find any info or videos about her.
Ye I dabbled in gachas before. Nothing good ever comes out of it besides the suffering of my wallet. If you guys can enjoy a game like that as an f2p then power to you but I usually either get annoyed by all the shop ads or scummy tactics or just sometimes my willpower falters and I end up buying a boost or two... so yeah, hard pass. It's not like we SMT fans are starving. SMT V will finally get on PC and better than ever. P3 just got a remake and I have a feeling p4 will get it too. Truth be told, if I ever feel like I need SMT experience again then I will just replay some of the ones I beat and do a challenge run or, screw it, play Soul Hackers 2 with all it's imperfections. Hear me out or not, but please save your sanity, don't play gachas. Enjoy the soundtrack online, maybe check out the story with some YTbers but don't get involved in a gacha.
I know they'll make more money with Gatcha, and i know that's the real reason this exists, I just wish they decided to make an actual game out of this rather than a Gatcha.
A shame they had to spoil the Persona franchise with gatcha mechanics, I was so unneccessary... That's what we get from Mobile games I guess, thanks but no thanks
I don't like this game being on mobile. Just doesn't feel right for a persona game to be on mobile, but I hope this game comes to console at some point, I might check it out. But I don't know if I'll enjoy this one. It seems good, but it should've just been a regular spin-off game for consoles, not a pc and mobile gacha game.
Well no Strikers is considered a sequel to Persona 5/Royal as Royal is more of a updated version of 5 and tactica isn’t considered a spin-off as it carries a few months after Strikers but the dancing games and the ds games no those are indeed spin-offs as they have no time frame within the actual persona story
Nah, the Joker in the P5X universe is basically a cognitive being that Wonder created(atleast I think). But Joker is still alive, in his original universe
The game seems interesting but it honestly just feels fake... And it's a gacha mobile game so we shouldn't get our hopes up at all 😅 Also i will say that it feels like official fanfiction, as if Atlus decided to make a rip-off game official.
I wished it was a direct sequel to Persona 5 instead of this alternate universe bs. I mean we see that Rise exists in the world too, why does it need to be alternate universe?
Because this story in the original universe wouldn’t make any sense with this context, considering that persona 3/reload 4 and 5 are all in the same universe

You know I thought the game cost money and had in game purchases my bad. That's where my problem with the game was. Since it's free to play that's ok.
Sorry about that. This is what I get for commenting before finishing the vid.
Not interested in gacha trash, but this one may include all the characters in Persona series, and may turn some NPCs into playable persona users. Hope I can play as Nijima Sae one day, or Maya from Persona 2.
F2P is my way to go. If the gambling is so harsh I can't pull anything interesting, I will probably drop it. Don't want to support gambling addiction anti-consumer games.
I wish I could play it right now, but I don’t know any Chinese. Least I could revel in the graphics, though!
You can!!! I’ve got other videos on my channel that show you how!
I only want to know if the game would let you fuse personas to make stronger ones, as that's been a stable mechanic in the franchise since Persona 1.
It does! Fusion mechanics are a not yet known fully but you will definitely be able to!
@zeffyno8 Thank goodness, as I worried they would leave that out to have an excuse to implement gacha mechanics like the new Protag doesn't possess the wild card ability.
SMT gacha game is nothing new. They have fusion mechanic in Dx2 SMT Liberation which was released back in 2018, I don't see why they wouldn't incorporate the same thing to P5X since the game mechanic is much more smaller in scale compared to Dx2.
This isn't a main line persona game, its a dollar store rip of cash grab gotcha shit heap. Don't expect any of the mechanics of a mainline game nor should you expect a story similar to p5. Everyone loves p5 this isn't p5 this just uses characters from that game as a selling point for idiots.
Wow did they really need to censor Succubus like that?
What is interesting about this gameplay !
oh no the velvet room attendant is hot oh no
How do we earn the currency for gacha pulls?
I'd still play it.
Ok its nice but what i doubtful if the game will never ending story typical online or mobile game. Just the persona game itself just single player game focus story
Your list of persona games you can fit in your pocket skipped a few.
Like Persona 3 portable.
The one with Portable in its name.
Something tells me they made the gacha mechanics to appeal to the gacha game community. Can’t say I’m a fan of it but the animations look clean as ever.
not-Chie is cute
The attendant this time around is pretty stacked, so hopefully she has just as much character. Also hoping that there is an english va option, cause I ain't playing a persona game for the Japanese VA.
You’re not playing a Japanese game, telling a very Japanese story, with Japanese characters based in Japan, in Japanese? 😂😂😂 Playing it in English isn’t the truest experience noob.
Question is the game reliant on gacha or can f2p players play comfortably
I have a video coming out explaining all of that soon but most likely it will be like any other gacha unfortunately. BUT, they are giving a lot of incentives like 250+ free pulls during launch and the main party members will be free as well from the story!
4:25 is that Rise in the poster? Does that means the events from other Persona events does happen in this game besides the mainline P5 events?
Yes, previous persona games, shin megami tensei if and all devil summoner games are in that timeline
I don't know if it's been 100% confirmed for Persona 1 and 2 besides some context clues in the Velvet Room.
However between all the references made across the modern games, both subtle and undeniably blatant (that poster was also in base P5 by the way), it's a given by now that Persona 3, 4 and 5 all exist in the same timelines.
There are minor variations in alternate timelines like P5X and P3P, but the core events and most main characters should still apply even there.
Persona 3, 4, and 5 all happen in the same world.
Shin Megami Tensei, P1 and P2 all happen in the same as well, but it's not confirmed if they happen in the same world as 3 - 5
2:21 Or i Referring it as jamalsus jimmy
If it's purely online based I'll have to pass
Where has it been said that P5X isn't canon? I've looked into a lot of the promo material for the game and haven't seen that said anywhere.
yeah I don’t really understand that especially when there’s the whole og crew
From the game's official premise, it is set in a parallel universe from the one in P5. Not sure how that works narratively but I read it from a few news outlets and the official Chinese website.
@@zeffyno8i dont think it means that it isnt canon. especially with how metaverse works
@@zeffyno8
True, it can't take place in the main games' timeline AND outright retell elements of P5 at the same time.
I guess that makes it an adjacent canon of sorts? (Like how P3P was confirmed as such during PQ2.)
They are just included to sell copies. This is literally just a pathetic cash grab using a beloved existing IP and it's characters to drive interest in their generic copy paste gotcha game
Game looka great and all... but it's a gacha game. How exactly is it supposed to have a single-player story mode when it's a gacha game? I don't get it. You play the story, but other players play it better if they "Pull" better characters? I'm not interested in online games, but if the gacha nature of this game is detrimental to its story mode/gameplay, I won't be able to enjoy it
You don't pull the main characters. You pull equips and demons/persona. They do have main stories and event stories. You unlock the main stories as you progress the main content. You could also choose to play the event stories to unlock event characters, equips and demons/persona. This is what I remembered from playing Dx2 Liberators for a short period of time, f2p.
6:00 Reducing player choice to increase the difficulty is incredibly poor game design and does nothing other than dumbing down combat, which is fatal in turn based rpgs because the main draw of combat in _all_ smt games has always been strategy.
It's literally _always_ possible to greatly balance a video game using only numbers, e.g. healing can never be overpowered if the amount is low, e.g. in Persona 4 the first couple of dungeons were by far the hardest because your healing options were super weak and there was a major risk of slipping into a cycle of having to use all your turns just to prevent party member death or accepting losses and trying to actually win.
It's just that reducing player choice is the cheap and easy way to increase difficulty and "balance" the game so it's used commonly as a crutch when the devs are not good enough to find a good way to balance the game in the time and budget they are given (or management are total idiots).
SMT Liberation Dx2 is another SMT gacha game and instead of going the way of P5x to reduce choice and fun it just adds a huge amount of choice, there are several hundred 5* demons by now and ALL have 1-3 unique skills with Sega adding a lot of new mechanics like enemy affinity reduction, Fortify / Decay that increase or decrease demon HP by 20% per count, etc., etc., etc..
Sega also frequently adds hard boss fights that show that even in a game with a myriad of different powerful skills and tons of mechanics, difficulty and balance are merely a matter of tweaking numbers and existing game mechanics.
E.g. One of the hard bosses was added when zeus based parties were popular and did ungodly amounts of damage so in order to prevent this boss from being just steamrolled easily by such a party Sega gave them 150% physical damage reduction, crippling such parties that heavily relied on Zeus and Odin dealing massive amounts of physical elec damage and critting a lot.
PS: also, if healing is too much of an issue DX2's version of the Curse ailment reduces all healing effects by 80% so they could have enemies apply this, etc.
some SMT fans have always coped that difficulty and strategy were the main draws because they love to worship at the shrine of difficulty but the *real* draw has always been the stories and philosophy and crazy shit that happens be it funny or not
Biggest.
Skip.
Ever.
Screw Gacha games and everything they represent.
I really hope they change the one more aspect of the combat, I don't really like what they did there at all
Yea I don't really like them taking away the choice... But who knows, maybe it works better for this game...
@@zeffyno8 Things are still subject to change though..
the normal 1 more system will not work with the gacha system for what do you need diffrent characters if you just win every fight when you get 1 weakness hit as said in the video, we dont really know anything about the gam if it has relics or eidalons like honkai star rail which will make characters better and also it doesnt work with the new aoa attack sytem from p5x
@@OceanXIII Press Turn worked well in Dx2 though.
Any other characters from the persona series, not too into 5
persona ? Yes ! Gacha ? Oh hell no !! Drop.
Every game releasing is a gacha game nowadays
@@noobville69 cope harder

Does anyone know if china is able to play the original persona 5? I’m just confused on the polish of this game and the reason for it.
Wym reason? Games exist to be played just be happy to have a new persona game ffs
@@KodexKat but it only exists in china so no I don’t have a new persona game
@@daiame772 I mean it’s really easy to play and the important gameplay stuff is in English for the most part. But if you don’t wanna play it that’s fine to wait man
@@KodexKat Its not even a persona game at this point. Generic gacha trash.
Do you know the name of a girl with long black hair? I can't seem to find it anywhere. She's probably part of the story but I can't find any info or videos about her.
That's because the story hasn't gotten to her awakening yet
Riko Tanemura
Ye I dabbled in gachas before. Nothing good ever comes out of it besides the suffering of my wallet. If you guys can enjoy a game like that as an f2p then power to you but I usually either get annoyed by all the shop ads or scummy tactics or just sometimes my willpower falters and I end up buying a boost or two... so yeah, hard pass.
It's not like we SMT fans are starving. SMT V will finally get on PC and better than ever. P3 just got a remake and I have a feeling p4 will get it too.
Truth be told, if I ever feel like I need SMT experience again then I will just replay some of the ones I beat and do a challenge run or, screw it, play Soul Hackers 2 with all it's imperfections.
Hear me out or not, but please save your sanity, don't play gachas. Enjoy the soundtrack online, maybe check out the story with some YTbers but don't get involved in a gacha.
All fair points. Can't wait for SMTVV tho!
Me, who actually enjoys gacha games: 👁️👄👁️
Game looks fucking sick. I can’t wait to play in 2 or 3 years when it gets a global release 😊
It's very sad that they made it gatcha
This looks like a Persona 5 knockoff instead of a spinoff, zero character or life in it
I would agree but the opening movie goes kinda hard for a chinese bootleg
I know they'll make more money with Gatcha, and i know that's the real reason this exists, I just wish they decided to make an actual game out of this rather than a Gatcha.
Oh 100%! I wish this was not gacha as well but I also just kinda want P6 at this point haha.
A shame they had to spoil the Persona franchise with gatcha mechanics, I was so unneccessary...
That's what we get from Mobile games I guess, thanks but no thanks
Okay Hoyoverse got our combat, we can’t do same like we had in OUR game which is good enough 🤡 The combat looks odd.
It does look weird but trust me it works really well imo.
kinda disappointed it's gacha... already fell in that rabbit hole, aint falling back in there
Release date?
Global not sure but it is already out in CN, TW and KR. I have a video on my channel on how to play it with an English mod!
@@zeffyno8 Ook I’ll check it out
I don't like this game being on mobile. Just doesn't feel right for a persona game to be on mobile, but I hope this game comes to console at some point, I might check it out.
But I don't know if I'll enjoy this one. It seems good, but it should've just been a regular spin-off game for consoles, not a pc and mobile gacha game.
normally im fine with gachas but the more i hear about this game the less hope i have for it.
Can we get Persona 6 please 5 is getting so old
It looks good but I rather play royal and don't pay money
Well no Strikers is considered a sequel to Persona 5/Royal as Royal is more of a updated version of 5 and tactica isn’t considered a spin-off as it carries a few months after Strikers but the dancing games and the ds games no those are indeed spin-offs as they have no time frame within the actual persona story
Does joker die in p5x
Nah, the Joker in the P5X universe is basically a cognitive being that Wonder created(atleast I think). But Joker is still alive, in his original universe
we will see lol there was a cutscene where wonder shot joker but it turns out to be a dream. not sure how the story will go....
But why is it a phone game 😭
The game seems interesting but it honestly just feels fake...
And it's a gacha mobile game so we shouldn't get our hopes up at all 😅
Also i will say that it feels like official fanfiction, as if Atlus decided to make a rip-off game official.
Let me know when persona 6 information drop im going to skip this game.
Is this pay to win
Referencement
is that goodnight pun pun as your pfp?
@@anapple6912 Yes, indeed
What y’all need to know it ain’t coming to America. Good day
Why does a spin off for china look cooler than the actual P5
That's easy, it doesn't. Not even remotely
Free to play.. oh no. Dangit i thought it was full game. Pls don't be gacha structured... i hate the gacha structure.
God this is awful. Mobile gaming ruins everything.
There won’t be a global release losers 😂
Thank God they can keep this shit heap in its entirety
Yeah just what everyone wanted a dollar store gotcha game rip off of p5. Why TF does this shit exist can we just not please
once again another persona game with no FMC
Persona 6??
I wished it was a direct sequel to Persona 5 instead of this alternate universe bs. I mean we see that Rise exists in the world too, why does it need to be alternate universe?
Because this story in the original universe wouldn’t make any sense with this context, considering that persona 3/reload 4 and 5 are all in the same universe
