Royal took me 126 hours and i'll admit that during the last 25 hours, I felt exhausted with it, which is funny because the end/third semester are excellent.
Based on the demo, there will certainly be spoilers in Scramble.I'm going to ask a really silly question but since I'm a Switch owner only, I haven't and can't play Persona 5 unfortunately. I still would like to play Personal 5 Scramble however, it's a sequel. Does Scramble spoil anything from Persona 5 and if I can't play Persona 5, would you recommend the anime or should I just keep waiting and hoping that one day Persona 5 will come to other platforms?
As with most anime adaptations of games, the anime is more enjoyable if you've played the game, and really isn't a comparable alternative.I'm going to ask a really silly question but since I'm a Switch owner only, I haven't and can't play Persona 5 unfortunately.

Wow, I should have figured. I guess the best I could hope for is that the party is generally more likeable than they were in Persona 5.Persona 5 tier except the ideas are even more done to death :(
What if...looking at your phone all the time...was bad??? :o
Idk, I think I went in hoping for it to be more like a traditional Musou cross-over game, at least somewhat, and it's really not that. Outside of boss fights, combat never really lasts more than 15-20 seconds so I never got into the flow of it? You hop in, it spawns an encounter, you clear the encounter, you return to progressing through the level. There's also no post-game grind for weapons or unlocks like there is in say, Fire Emblem Warriors, Hyrule Warriors, etc.
Anyone who played this already willing to speak on the quality of the story? Is it Persona 5 tier (interesting ideas but ultimately disappointing in its execution and too long for its own good) or better? Worse?
It's a spin-off, so it doesn't have the wealth of side content P5 has and has a much more linear style of story progression, so the pacing is much tighter as you don't have to spend time waiting for deadlines to close. It's less than half the length of the original game and takes place over a shorter period of time.Anyone who played this already willing to speak on the quality of the story?

I really don't know how you took that to be the premise.Persona 5 tier except the ideas are even more done to death :(

I really don't recommend playing Scramble without experiencing P5 first. It assumes you know and care about the characters and there's only the bare minimum explaining of stuff that a person who's played P5 will know. If you've got no way of playing P5, then I suggest at least watching a let's play or the anime, or waiting for a port.I'm going to ask a really silly question but since I'm a Switch owner only, I haven't and can't play Persona 5 unfortunately.

It's 60, but for what it's worth, it was actually a constant 60 on graphics mode even on PS4 Pro. I think the two graphics modes are only really there for base PS4. The real PS5 improvement will be the load times.Does the PS4 pro "Graphics" option run at a variable 60fps? Or is it a locked 30?
If it's variable, that'd be perfect and you wouldn't really need a PS5 remaster considering it would then run at 4k/60 through bc
That's really encouraging to hear! I will give it a shot at some point down the line because the gameplay looks fun and I hope the story ends up reinvigorating my interest in the persona franchise.It's a spin-off, so it doesn't have the wealth of side content P5 has and has a much more linear style of story progression, so the pacing is much tighter as you don't have to spend time waiting for deadlines to close.

I think in general it's better than P5 at developing its themes while telling an engaging story and it has a much stronger second half than the original game which I always felt got far too caught up in the big picture that it lost the emotional core that made the game investing to begin with. In some places it feels a bit like course correction for P5 with changes of hearts being reframed and a lot less of the kids rule adult drool stuff, which is helped by the new adult party member, who is great.
I mean, the third time they showed a group of people walking forward aimlessly staring at their phones like zombies right after I fought Big Tech it definitely seemed to be trying to make a not-subtle point.
But that's just an extreme metaphor for people mindlessly accepting answers, obviously nothing like EMMA actually exists in reality and the game knows that so I think it's strange to read that scene literally. The game definitely has some critique of our relationship with technology but I see Sophia as the game saying the existence of technology isn't the problem, it's our relationship with it and the sustitution of external answers for your own is the problem and big tech is complicit in that.
What're your impressions on the gameplay? Are you generally a musou person? Was the game as big as like a Hyrule Warriors or other Warriors games in terms of side quests and stuff to do when the game is done or was it mainly just the campaign?
Only musou I've played is Hyrule Warriors and I thought it was alright. P5S is completely different from that; it's much closer to P5's dungeons but with musou combat and the occasional sea of enemies. There's no map control or running from enemies to prioritize others like HW had, it plays out like P5 where there are partolling enemies and you enter encounters with them, target weaknesses, and go back to exploring the dungeon. I don't think I'd recommend it to a musou fan expecting a musou. There's no adventure mode like in HW and most of the side missions are very basic (usually stuff like "go back to this dungeon and beat 20 of this enemy").What're your impressions on the gameplay?

Is this picking up for someone who has never played a Persona title? I love the musou combat style per my experience with Hyrule Warriors + DQ Heroes and enjoy JRPGS, so I think the gameplay will be a good fit but am unsure how it'll be jumping in story-wise.

Switch is getting an English version is the leaked box art is real.I wonder how much Age of Calamity had to do with this and if Switch is getting the English version.
It's literally a sequel to Persona 5. I don't think that should dissuade you from playing it, but yeah, I think it takes place a few months after the end of P5 (have sort of stayed blind to things so I'm not sure if any of the Royal stuff is a factor)

Yeah it's a direct sequel to P5 (but not Royal?)
The anime is not ideal as there are pacing and animation issues, but you would get the gist of the story and it can also pretty fun.
pretty sure Royal counts as well? Why wouldn't it. Also who says they won't add some Royal clarity in the global version?
Its one the biggest reason I'm not 99-100% hyped tbh, they should've waited until Royal's JPN launch for explicite inclusion instead of having the fandom figure out whether or not vanilla or Royal are truly canon to P5S.pretty sure Royal counts as well?
