Which one are you more excited for?

I want to be excited for Final Fantasy XV, but for some reason my hype has just died. Game doesn't look that fun, graphics look gimped, performance doesn't look that great. I want to be hyped after 8 fucking years of waiting for this game, but all my core gut instincts are just telling me this game is going to flop. Here's to hoping I'm wrong.

I'm more excited for Persona 5. Seems like better artstyle, music and character design than FFXV, the story hasn't been completely handed to us on a platter already, the demons look great, the comic/cartoon nature of the game seems to work really well, the whole dynamic of being a midnight thief just seems cool.

Honestly as much as I grew up with and love both series, FF has always seemed "very Japanese", whereas Persona/SMT has seemed much more influenced by Western music, myth, fashion, art design etc. Also much more modern settings.

Somehow I feel like Persona 5 will probably be the more well received/acclaimed of the two, but I will buy and play both.

Both.

My hopes for FFXV are dead

FFXV looks like a mess.

You could put just about every upcoming JRPG in that picture and I'd still be least excited for FFXV.

Persona 5. FFXV looks like they haven't had the slightest idea what to do with it for the past 10 years. Literally the Duke Nukem Forever of JRPGs.

>That switch to Stand By Me in the Final Fantasy XV trailer

youtu.be/IiI7SMQA59Q?t=1m11s

This is honestly the gayest looking game I've ever seen in my life. I don't mean that in an insulting way, I mean I have seen trailers of and played games that are literally just gay dating simulators but good god.

The FF games I remember growing up with as a kid had girls and bros. Why is this game all bros? Why is there such a gay Stand By Me cover playing while they all do homoerotic things you'd never seen grown men in scantily clad leather clothing doing together? Is this the Japanese State's Eugenics program at work or something? Why do they all sit down cross legged with their chopsticks eating at a fire together like ladies having tea?

>FF has always seemed "very Japanese", whereas Persona/SMT has seemed much more influenced by Western music, myth, fashion, art design etc. Also much more modern settings.
what.

>Literally the Duke Nukem Forever of JRPGs.

This. Somehow all my instincts are just expecting a huge backlash to this thing. I'm talking reviews giving it 5s and 6s across the board, some 7 and 8s praising art design, music, graphics etc, and then a whole ton of reviews talking about how fucking shitty and boring the game is to play and how generic the storyline is.

They're actively trying to make the gayest game of all time.

The worse part is that none of them are hot|

Though old Noctis is ok

>FF has always seemed "very Japanese", whereas Persona/SMT has seemed much more influenced by Western music, myth, fashion, art design etc. Also much more modern settings.

The movie being literally objectively bad is the final flag. There's no hope for a 30 hour game if they can't make a decent 2 hour movie.

Neither. I've never been interested in FF15/Versus, it's everything I don't want in a FF game. Persona 5 looks just like Persona 3 and 4, below average games I might play one day when I'm bored and it is $10.

It looks like those Sup Forums sleepover webms.

After the footage of FFXV on PEE ESS FOURU from Japan and the fact it will have a NEO version makes me very excited but Persona 5 takes the cake.

>FF has always seemed "very Japanese", whereas Persona/SMT has seemed much more influenced by Western music, myth, fashion, art design etc. Also much more modern settings.

Uh, no, you got that one backwards

>NEO version

I thought every PS4 game will work on the neo?

>After the footage of FFXV on PEE ESS FOURU
Dude it got downgraded badly.
>and the fact it will have a NEO version
No.

>P5 looks like a below average game
>I might play one day I'm bored
I know you're baiting, but please, next time make it believable.

im excited for both because i actually like video games.

Well think about it, there's literally hundreds of Judeochristian mythological figures and demons in the SMT games. The music always sounds like it's more Western influenced, you don't remember a hiphop song being the final boss theme of Persona 3?

youtube.com/watch?v=Cj-Edr0k8TQ

The games in SMT and Persona almost all take place in the real world, in modern times, or in the case of something like Strange Journey, in the near future. Or in SMTIVs case, an alternate world paralleling our own.

The FF games have a lot of medieval settings, or settings so fantastical it's hard to compare to our own. I always liked the steampunk aesthetics of FF6 and 7, could never really get into something like the first 2 ffs or ffv. Also just the music in the FF games sounds much more Japanese for whatever reason.

You can't deny there are aesthetic choices made in SMT/Persona games that you would literally never see in an FF game for the specific fact that the FF games are more heavily Japanese influenced. The entire FFXIII series was FF basically devolving into a waifu series (catering to weebs/Japanese shutins).

>literally smelling another man's crotch after he's shaken it up for you.

i don't want my little cousins playing this game.

>FF has always seemed "very Japanese", whereas Persona/SMT has seemed much more influenced by Western music, myth, fashion, art design etc. Also much more modern settings.
What?

Every game after October 2x has to have one so it means most likely that NEO will be out in November.
>Dude stop being excited for this game I can't afford
No
>No
Lol, because you don't have the information regarding PSNEO that any normal person can acquire you think "no" is going to make people think you know better? lmao

Persona 5 and the inevitable FFXV PC and mainline SMT.

It's western influenced but it's Japanese as fuck, that's a major part of their modern culture.

FF has been aimed at the west foreeever with their westaboo names and ar.

Person is set in a Japanese high school ... I don't think anything more needs to be said about the game being Japanese as FUCK.

Persona 5 will have a poor man's press turn system, terrible dungeon crawling even if they're not random anymore and a shitty obnoxious cast that we'll have to endure for a whole decade.
Don't know about FF XV.

Actually I was thinking the same thing P5 doesnt look that interesting same goes for the rest of the series

L Spiro said SE wasn't going to optimize for Neo. They are for Scorpio because that's DX12 and they're doing it anyway for PC.

I'm just saying it got downgraded, not to lose your hype. Chill.

Why ?
I mean I love these games, I can't understand why you would find them uninteresting.

But it won't have terrible dungeon crawling, why do you think it will.
They reintroduced all sorts of puzzles and gimmicks

Why do you call it poor man's press turn? It's barely any different from SMT

he hasn't played them clearly.

>/smtmasterrace/ being this butthurt
Dungeons in 5 look fun, and font tell me you found fun Dungeons in the mainline.

I wasn't even slightly interested in XV from day one, because FF games have been terrible for years, and they weren't much better before that.

When I saw the demo at E3 this year, I laughed for a good 5 minutes at how absolutely awful it looks in every aspect. I can't even picture myself watching the cutscenes on Youtube, I care that little about the story and characters.

P5 looks alright, I'll pick it up on PS3 next month.

Strange journey without grus had god tier dungeons
But dungeons in 5 do look fun.
What, do you think dungeons in 3/4 were anything more than absolute shit ?

Wasn't feeling it but do prefer SMT

>next month

Didn't play Strange Journey, but SMT 3/4 were not what I call fun.
I actually preferred Tartarus over the TV world.
I wouldn't call them fun but there was a little something in Tartarus that I liked a lot.
Also since dungeons only were a part of the game it was ok for them to not be perfect.

So far all I've seen is MC and his gang running through pretty hallways. The fact that they're not random unlike 3/4's garbage gives me a bit of hope though.
>He didn't like the dungeons in SJ, I, II or Nocturne
Even II which had garbage like Geburah was fun.

>
Yeah 4 doesnt even have dungeons, and the only good dungeon in 3 were the Amala Kalpas, which were awesome as fuck.
Everything else was boring

>I can't understand why you would find a borderline visual novel with shit combat and dungeon design where you spend 75% of your time reading poorly written teen drama uninteresting
You might have brain damage

Only people with brain damage can't find merit in visual novels and games that borrow from them.

You forgot your fedora.

>if you don't like than you didn't play them

he said he hasn't played them retard.

I know, he was implying that since he didn't like the games than never played them

FF XV no contest.

The truly patrician JRPG.

Not really excited for either. FFXV looks less and less fun as time goes on, and I wasn't really a fan of the formula of P3 and P4 with the calendar and time management aspects to the point that even though P5 looks like a massive improvement in dungeon crawling over those two I'm still pretty sure I wouldn't enjoy the full package at all.

More excited for Tales of Berseria and Dragon Quest XI for the big four.

Both, but if I had to pick one it would be FFXV. It AAA status and the spectacle of it being a Final Fantasy game- the capacity to be great or fall flat on it's face is something I want to experience day 1.

P5 will be good but it just seems like more of the same which isn't a bad thing but I'm tired of some things it does.

I'm excited for both, but looking forward to FFXV more.
Persona 5 looks like it could be better than Persona 3 and 4 though, but I'm worried the dungeons are going to be boring as fuck yet again.

>persona
>gameplay

People only like it for the menu design

No I like it cause I wanna collect all the demons
And fight some bosses
And listen to some sweet sweet music
Every single track we've had access to was god tier

>video game music

Fuck off with your attempts of pitting both fanbases against eachother

FFXV

Persona games have always been shite. I see no reason to expect 5 will be different.

Hey if you're gonna be a retard fine then

I have a lot more faith in Atlus' Persona team in them producing a good game than in Squeenix's Final fantasy team. When was the last time Square made a good final fantasy game on the first attempt?

Every fan reaction to FFXV from playing it has been negative.
Every fan reaction to P5 from playing it has been positive.
Just looking at the games it's obvious P5 will be better

squeenix doesn't hold a candle to atlus these days. Persona 5 is guna blow ffxv tfo in terms of lasting legacy in the gaming community

.......

Damn... Persona-cucks are delusional as FUCK.

I miss Squaresoft.
I miss Enix.
Mashing them together was a mistake.

Sure thing bud
See you next bancruptcy

XV should have been out five years ago. Persona 5 should have been out by now, but at least Atlus didn't tease the whole game for fucking ten years.

I didn't bother reading this thread so I'm assuming they are working off recent history. They are right that Persona has generated appeal off their last 2 games BUT very slowly in the West, they were already hits in Japan for a long time. Final Fantasy is a mixed reception, and expectations can never be built up for it since they fuck up a lot.

This next FF game, should be able to impress, but not the people in the West, while Persona has a bit more universal appeal due to stylish character exposition.

Nier

It's remotely possible but unlikely that Persona 5 ends up being an actually good game. So that one.

2 month delay of FFVX has killed my hype. It's a bit of a red-flag because they made such a thing of the september release date. Makes me think Square aren't exactly confident in the games quality.

You say this while posting a bullshot.

No. The game is garbage.

I was somewhat doubtful but still had hope for FFXV until the platinum demo hit. If they're comfortable with releasing it it must at least meet some kind of quality standard they have, and that standard must be incredibly far beneath mine. The physics interaction shit feels like a no-effort unity asset swap game, and the combat was unresponsive and boring.
I legitimately don't think I've ever played a game that felt worse to play than the platinum demo.

Persona 5 is looking good, can't wait for my copy to get here. Yuuki Aoi playing a midget hacker? Sign me up.

The one coming out this year.

We don't have a single fucking clue of what the story of FF XV will be.

>I legitimately don't think I've ever played a game that felt worse to play than the platinum demo.
It blows my mind when people defend the combat. I literally do not believe that they aren't retards of the highest caliber or shills.

Both because I'm not retarded.

I'm more excited for Tales of Berseria than either of those two. But of those two? Persona 5.

I'm getting all three, though.

Speak for yourself. You obviously have an absence of taste when it comes to video games. I found PD to have superior design compared to most AAA mainstream games released this year like Doom and Uncharted 4. Played it for a lot longer as well.

It's Lion King

You played a shitty demo for 14 hours.

You are beyond autistic. You can't argue this.

You're comparing trash from one garbage can with the fucking sewer. You had more fun licking discarded diapers than you did swimming in raw sewage? Good for you, buddy.

That's an older pic. Playtime is more than 17 hours now. I'm sorry that you cannot appreciate masterfully crafted games like I can.

How? I mean I haven't played Doom or Uncharted 4, but even just moving and jumping feels disgusting in PD. Like, I understand that people have different opinions and shit, but the controls just seem impossible to like.

And yes, I was speaking for myself.

You're speaking for a vast majority of people. The demo and subsequently the game sucks ass.

>Persona-cuck fanboy detected

>cuck fanboy
Who said anything about Persona? Why are you talking like you're autistic?

Berseria exceeded my expectations.
P5 looks like a step up from all the footage they have released, should be good unless they completely drop the ball with the script/combat or something, which seems unlikely.
FFXV in my eyes was doomed from the sheer scope of the project. Particularly combat-wise it seems to suffer from the same problem Tales had in recent years (dumbing down the combat mechanics in an attempt to attract the more casual crowd than wouldn't be interested in a ARPG with some semblance of deep otherwise)
I am glad Aoi Yuuki voices the navigator so we can hear her through the majority of the game.

>Berseria exceeded my expectations.

What about Berseria makes it different than any other Tales of game ever ?

It's weird.
I'm actually looking forward to FFXV more because I want to know if that game actually manages to be good or we have another train wreck on our hands whereas I already know that Persona 5 is probably gonna be pretty good

What I think puts many of us off Final Fantasy at this point I think, beyond the incoherence of the narratives they often create and that of the world building, is that they refuse to get with the times.
It used to be big, and is still clinging to the elements that made it big in the late 90s/early 00s instead of exploring fresher, more fashionable ideas while, ironically, changing and fiddling with the gameplay systems we used to love and came back to the game for.
I'm sick and tired of the 80s hair band inspired visual kei tropes and look mixed with manufactured Titanic era Leonardo DiCaprio/Céline Dion romance that was initially put there to appeal to female gamers in order to boost sales even further after FF VII made it big, but I can't imagine appealing to anyone now but a very specific Japanese niche made mainly up of Otaku women and homosexual men.
I'm sick and tired of Kingdom Hearts-esque combat systems, If I wanted to play Kingdom Hearts, I'd play Kingdom Hearts.
I'd be all for a Stand By Me romp trough a fantasy land, even with shit combat, if the narrative and world itself was at least consistent and coherent, and these characters looked and acted more genuine and more appealing than Zoolander like fashion models you used to find in teen magazines targeted at pubescent girls.

I never gave a shit about final fantasy

I bought a PS4 a year ago for Persona 5.

Let's settle this once and for all!
P5 or FFXV?
>strawpoll.me/11115094
>strawpoll.me/11115094
>strawpoll.me/11115094

It isn't. If anything it is a return to form after recent entries were underwhelming in regards to content by Tales standards.

i don't have any faith in square at this point, not after ten years of horrifying FF13 and its sequels
p5? who knows, not a big fan of persona but it looks way better than some open world garbage

>You can't drive the car.

Cancelled my pre-order when I heard that. Up until that point I figured "well even if the game sucks at least I can chill out and drive around the world" LOL NOPE

Obviously P5 because XV is looking to be a right mess and a huge flop that hopefully finally kills SE.

YES.

Persona 5

I have zero interest in Westernized Fantasy XV and this is coming from someone who has bought all mainline FF games (some even couple of times) and bunch of spin offs.

At this point I would even play Neptunia game before FF XV and I hate Compile Hearts.

You dumb faggot.

Hey XV-kun.
