I think Persona 6 will dunk on all of the previous entries. I love 3, 4, and 5, but you can just see how budget-constrained they are. The series is no longer some niche, second-tier JRPG only weebs know about. The sales forecast will be high and there will be proper funding. I'm of course not expecting it to be full-on AAA with $150M+ in budget, but I could see something in the $50-75M range. It would have significantly more production values than 5, and of course, it wouldn't be shackled by the PS3. It will probably come to the PS4 and be cross-gen though.
Fuck, had completely forgotten about the original Switch. It might as well be a PS3. With 140M+ units out, it also cannot be ignored, especially with how strong the sales are in Japan. If it's the baseline, which honestly, it might be, we're probably looking at something closer to Persona 3 Reload. If we're lucky, they'll ditch it and focus on just the Switch 2. They didn't release P3R on the Switch after all.
It wasn’t about “complexity” and more about some people wanted Kanji to be gay and Naoto to be trans when actual story behind them is not about that.
The issue they always add very over power mechanics which throws entire difficulty out the window.
This, if don’t want long RPGs, you shouldn’t play most Atlus RPGs since most of them are long games.
I like your optimism, but this is still SEGA. They aren't exactly known for "big budget"...not saying you're wrong about Persona's rise in popularity/relevance.
I like the idea of it, but I've just finished Rebirth. That's why.
When was the last time Atlus did “big budget” with any of their games?
The only good Persona game.
that's what I mean
50-75M in this day and age isn't exactly big-budget. I think Alan Wake 2 cost $50M and that's certainly not big-budget when we have AAA games in excess of $200M these days. Maybe I'm being optimistic, but I think Persona 6 has the potential to surpass 10M copies sold within just a few year.
Don't care means not capable. Some of them not even capable to implement the basic anti aliasing, high tech graphics must be something like alien technology to them.
That wouldn’t matter devs like Atlus and FROM mostly prioritize different things instead of high tech graphics and I don’t think that’s going to change.
Oh, I'm not even talking about high-tech graphics. I'm more concerned about how small and constrained the Persona games have felt thus far. It's a bunch of small maps with an NPC here or there and doesn't feel like a city proper. The games aren't fully voice acted, with minor cutscenes having no voice overs at all. Persona 5 is much better than 4 in that regard, but I'd wish every line spoken by characters was voiced, even minor ones.
Metaphor’s city was much bigger and more people walking around and they were not faceless like Persona 5 and P3Reload so I would say there is good chance they improve that even further in P6.
Yeah, they would f it up, wouldn’t they?
