glad this game is getting good reviews, but i'm waiting for Metaphor: ReFantazio
There's a lot of people complaining about the P5 coat of paint it got, saying it takes away from the dark, downtrodden tone of the original.
I guess I'll see how I feel about that this weekend. As long as the story beats remain the same and the voice acting is on point, I don't know how you stifle the dark tone. It's definitely the darkest of the three Persona (I've played) by far.
I just know nikkas better not be complaining about the modernization of the features though. I def caught a glimpse of someone being fussy about fast travel being too efficient and optimized - taking away from "exploration".
I played and beat P3 when I was 16 years old. Trust me when I say teenager Versa did not enjoy all that "exploration" and would have loved this feature.
Persona is about style, story, music and battle system mechanics for me. I don't need to take the same trip down those steps by the train station 72 times in order to feel fulfilled. That's what Elden Ring and Tears of the Kingdom are for.
