I hope someone from Square (ideally from FFXV team) actually taken a look at this thread and realized how Persona series had taken over the hearts of hardcore JRPG fans and do something about it.
Sad thread. Poor Tabata.
It should also be noted that Persona 5 is a multi-platform release, able to appeal to the PS3 base. You're not going to have an easy time making straggling PS3 users consider a PS4, when a big release which they can play is coming out in the same timeframe. They still make up a significant chunk of the home console market in Japan in terms of software sales.If we compared Final Fantasy XIII to Persona 4, it would be about 7.5 million to maybe a bit over 1 million.
If we look at Japan in particular, as I noted early, it's not implausible we're comparing a 500K game to a 1 million to 1.5 million game, so you could see some amount of competition.
This is especially relevant for younger audiences who have very little tie to Final Fantasy, but have been receiving a lot of Persona products, and younger audiences make up a notably stronger portion in Japan than the West of the overall market.
I will get both day 1, as I'm excited for both equally.
The Persona love on this board however is astounding.

Se has like 6 turn based games coming next year.
They did do something about it. It's called A Realm Reborn and it's an open love letter to people who lost faith in the FF brand years ago.
Making their favorite JRPG series into an MMO is a love letter to fans who lost faith in the series?They did do something about it. It's called A Realm Reborn and it's an open love letter to people who lost faith in the FF brand years ago.
And none of them are FF.
Also, 6? Star Ocean (last few have not been very good), Bravely Second (reviews are poor) and...? The Dragon Quests? A bit late but sure.
I just CTRL+F'd every page with 'Persona' and almost spat out my drink - has GAF become weeaboo heaven?!
Persona 4 Golden is a legit 5/10, dungeon design is astrocious and the whole edgy anime character shtick is embarrassing. Okay, the UI is hard - but the rest? Y'all get blinded by your affection for 2D anime characters that are as flat as their character portraits. And now you want another one of those basura Social RPGs (can't believe I'm even typing this)?
Pass. Try again. Or better yet: don't.
FFXV originates from the brilliant mind of jeux-auteur Tetsuya Nomura and will not only sell boatloads of PS4s in Japan but start the age of cinematic RPGs paired with both hyperrealismé and masterful game design. Yes, the last demo was lowkey rough around the edges but that's because it's a game that demands everything from the consoles. I prefer avantgarde open-world action-RPG gameplay to linear, turn-based corridor moé bullshit at any time of the day.

Shame on all of you tbh
