enemies having weaknesses and strengths, is one thing. enemies demanding you exploit them or face literally hours of uphill tedium through resource management alone or exponentially increased risk is another. Whole game is just Pokemon on cocaine.
That's making the game sound better than it is actually. :skip:

I never could co-sign the reductive arguments some of y'all make about this game on here lol. Now suddenly exploiting enemy weaknesses is somehow a bad thing. if an enemy is weak to an element, exploiting it and getting the fight over with in seconds is obviously better than just simply using random abilities on enemies to deplete their HP and thus taking up more time.

Also, this argument completely and conveniently ignores those enemies that had no weaknesses or had certain skills that required having good gear on. I mean, i get it, you didn't like the dungeons/game but there's no need to create some false narrative now.

There's enemies that I had to weaken with status ailments, equip specific Persona's to either repel or absorb damage so on and so forth. Like.. every damn RPG does that. Like come on. Battles in P5 go so quickly once you got things down pat that it's a chore going to an RPG that doesn't have some similar system.

don't matter if its the hundredth hour or the 30th, if a game starts to become an uninteresting flowchart that won't end then dropping it then and there and seeing the trash ending on youtube ain't anything to trip over.

game shouldn't have been 100 hours in the first place. plus they had like three or four 'final dungeons' too. game burnt itself out more than anything a player's habits may have to do with it. every dungeon being straight up guess work for an hour gets old.
Lowkey, quiet as kept, on the DL Hughley..... a lot of JRPGs have godawful pacing and either take too long to get going, or don't know when to quit....or both.

I enjoyed P5 for the most part but I'm in absolutely no rush to play New Game+

Breh, that's SMT in general though :heh:

The balance in SMT games is kind of trash once you figure it out

Yep it's the beginning that kills it...especially :snoop: replaying it , since Kamoshidas palace is basically a long tutorial and those half an hour text/voice cut-scenes during the original playthrough :pachaha:

That's why Witcher 3 is the GOAT it's easier to jump in within a minute.

Report 1: Rumor: Persona 5 Coming To Nintendo Switch In 2019 | NintendoSoup

Following the reveal of Joker for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a new rumor about Persona 5 has surfaced.

MysticDistance, a translator and secondary writer for Persona Central, KHInsider, and many other websites, claims they have been told Persona 5 is heading to Nintendo Switch in 2019. MysticDistance says multiple sources have provided them “rather damning” evidence that the game is coming to Nintendo Switch in 2019. They also state they have took “great caution” in sharing this rumor with the public.

We’ve also learned that Persona 5 will be announced the day Joker becomes playable in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The updated version will have a new title and “contain adjustments to the game, additional aspects to the scenario, amongst other wanted additions”.

A Switch port has been seriously considered since mid 2017, claims MysticDistance.
MysticDistance added that they are aware of Persona 5’s new title on Switch and its launch window, but couldn’t share that information at this point.

Given that MysticDistance is a longtime veteran in the industry, their words shouldn’t be taken too lightly. Still, we will mark this as a rumor until Atlus officially comments on the matter.
Report 2: Rumor: Persona 5 Switch Official Title Is Persona 5 Reloaded | NintendoSoup


Now we have more information coming from MysticDistance, the same person who made public this rumor. While MysticDistance is already aware of the title of Persona 5’s updated release on Nintendo Switch, they couldn’t reveal what it is but did drop a hint.

The hint, as stated by MysticDistance, is that it’s based on one of the domain names Atlus registered in the past. So we did some digging and found two domains they discussed in the past – P5U.jp and P5R.jp.

Depending on how you look at it, Persona 5 could be called Persona 5 Ultimate or Persona 5 Reloaded on Nintendo Switch

Will gladly cop. This game would be perfect on the Switch.
