I’m really looking forward to this game, especially since it’s coming to gamepass.
Persona 5 was a surprise hit for me and quickly became one of my favourite games.
I couldn’t get into persona 4 though, as I was really missing the style that 5 has.
I hope they put some good effort into the visuals of this remake. The trailer makes it look close to persona 5 but it still looks like a bit of a step down.
The turn based battles are really only half the game so I would say it’s worth giving persona 5 a shot if you have gamepass and are prepared to potentially sink 70 hours into a game.
I don’t like turn based rpgs either but I loved the battle system in this game. You might be surprised.
Persona is Turn Based battles. But the battles are very dynamic and action looking. If you like a solid story and aren't afraid of the imagery of death and suicide then Persona 3 Reload would be a great entry point into the Persona franchise.
Persona 4 Golden is a bit dated, but a much happier game, it has a lot of "Scooby Doo" vibes with the whole murder mystery, but with a lot of themes of coming to terms with yourself.
Persona 5 Royal is hands down the best of the 3 Modern Persona games. It's flashy, flamboyant, and has absolute BANGERS for Music. And the theme of Rebelling from societal norms to call out injustice just... chefs kiss Atlus really knows when to put out a banger of a motif for a game.
I don't think it'll top p5 for most. It's drowning in style. I did love p4 golden back in the day though so it's not like it won't be great. P5 is just THAT good
