I think P5 (in terms of story and character development) is ass compared to P4, and there's FAR less fun moments with the group. Half the P5 cast seemed like cheap knockoffs of characters from 3 and 4. What really bothered me was that every group meeting was somewhere extremely public and they're all talking about being phantom thieves, but then yell at Ryuji for saying literally anything and I guess that was the joke. The gameplay and system mechanics are vastly improved, but to me, everything else is way worse. The entire game I was just waiting for something "fun" to happen that never did. Like, they go to Hawaii, but instead of doing anything fun or interesting, they sit in the hotel and jack each other off about how sick it is to be phantom thieves.

JZStudios That’s a weird thing to be bothered by

@@Squidward-jv7go Is it though? They're all dipshits. They all stand around the middle of a crowded street shouting about how they're the phantom thieves, but the only one who gets called out for it is Ryuji. What's annoying is not only is Ryuji the only one called out, but it's basically a running gag to yell at him and call him stupid or to shut up. He's the butt of every punchline and none of them are funny.

JZStudios Ryuji is probably my favourite character but I’m not one to get annoyed at clear running jokes, even if they aren’t always funny, because it’s obvious the whole team cares about Ryuji. It sounds like that’s your only reason and that really is weird. And I don’t even remember that happening often, maybe only twice... and it’s not a big deal.

@@Squidward-jv7go You completely missed the point.

Kale Chips They didn’t do that in the P4 anime. They could’ve done the same for P5A.

​@@joshuaholmes7929 The thing that i think majorly helped the P4 anime was the murder mystery aspect. New characters get introduced along with their palaces, but they're more like short term points of focus, getting 1-2 episodes per character intro, while the long term goal is still always "find the killer", and the characters get further development while on the way to completing that goal. P5 doesn't really have a concrete end goal till late game, which makes the beginning and middle of P5's story sorta aimless, especially when presented in the format of an anime.

Unknown yes but the P5 anime felt rushed

@@joshuaholmes7929 True it did

I wouldn't go that far. I would say that they need a lot more than 22 minutes.

P4 was great.

What's ur hobby Other people: cycling, soccer etc Yuu: fuse persona

"Changing things, and fusing things."

P3 movie only covered the important parts but it did so better than the game

Yeah i agree persona 5 is not completely trash but still disappointed

I know this is a late comment, but I think the ending credits song "Infinity" is fantastic, and I wish it was used for Persona 5 Royal. In addition, I do think that they made the mistake of trying to copy the narrative of the game, albeit in a condensed form. Instead they should have came up with an entirely original story that was tailor made for the medium of a TV series; Video games and film/TV are entirely different mediums, after all

Couldn't have said it better myself. Not to mention that one scene in Episode 1. Anime: . Kawakami drops a flyer for a maid service business in her first scene... Literally no one cares. (Except for Joker, of course) Game: . Ryuji just finds a flyer somewhere. . Shows it to Joker and sets it up, also bringing Mishima along. . Ryuji finds a vacant room so that they can test the service out. . Maid comes, Ryuji and Mishima hide while Joker does the job. . Ryuji and Mishima chicken out. Maid turns around and... It's Kawakami. Game version is how you do build-up to something without some stupid foreshadowing.

Patrick PFC “I kinda wish I had taped that (._. )”

P4A at least for me brings something new to the character and the story of the game itself, it cut down some part from the game but enhance everything that follows the game story. P5A doesn't just cut down parts of the game, it CHANGES some part of the story that was perfect and make it subjectively worse

Can't agree more!

I also like how the anime does a number of things that the game doesn't do, and some of the scenes are done better than in the game. Makes it much more worth watching compared to this, where it's literally just an inferior version of the game.

P5A is trying sometimes to be P4A which does not work. It is passable and yeah the bitch slap from Makoto makes my watching experience worth it. I like that the anime tried to give Akechi more screen time and interaction with Ren and honestly, it is the only thing handled better in the anime. It makes the betrayal more impactful in the end.

Joel Elombe Well honestly, I like to look at the anime as a way to experience the game again without having to play through the many hours. The anime is also a way to bring new fans to the game.

I completely agree with your first point, but newcomers should definitely play the games before consuming any other related media

roast beef Well the anime is meant to give more exposure to the game dude. How can a newcomer who only watches anime know that Persona even existed if he didnt watch the anime first? (Even if its not its entirety). I have friends who watched the anime of P4 first and didnt even know it was a game and enjoyed the heck out of it. Some of them played the Arena games first and didnt think that it started as a JRPG yet they loved it so much even without the background knowledge of it. They bought the Original afterwards. Exposure is exposure. So the content by which you get it does not matter whether it being seeing the anime first or playing the spin offs because it will lead to the game being exposed therefore it will most likely lead to the original game being played. It doesn't matter because everyone will enjoy the franchise differently. I started with Persona 3 and Persona trinity soul. Just like the Star Wars franchise. You can watch the prequels first and then the original and you'd have a different yet still an amazing experience just like the people who watched the original first then the prequels.

Wish I could play the game instead but Atlas refuse to port it to PC and there's no way I'm buying a PS3/PS4 for one game :(

Siegfried Final sure, exposure is exposure, but Persona is one of the most popular JRPGs out there. It falls on folks like us that knows of it to turn our friends onto it if they don’t already

PezPro Ahh Kirby My first anime as a kid that i dont even know the protagonist name until i was 14th years old

Like P5 in general is bad compared to previous Persona games especially Persona 1 & 2 and all other Shin Megami Tensei.

Yup! Both were absolutely masterpieces! It's one of the best adaptations of the game!

Nanako's death in anime hits harder in the anime because you didn't see Nanako resurrection. Yu sparing Namatame while Nanako still dead, makes him question his choice.

Pretty much the same way I got into the series. Well, that and the Hiimdaisy comic dubs.

I wouldve never given P4 a chance if I saw that animation before-hand- the characters are fried food versions of themselves they sucked.

I have to say while the P4A got me into the game, It was decent enough for me to enjoy even after playing the game. this is just plain insulting. Just like P4AG by the same ppl

Like I agree it does the best of the animes adaption wise, for still being meh, but yeah no I see people swap around all the names plenty enough 😂

thats because the p4 anime was actually good despite being short

In reality, it was because all the spin-offs of Persona 4, many, many of them, used the Yu Narukami name, while only Persona Q2 and I think Persona 5 Dancing in Starlight uses the Ren Amamiya name, while Strikers lets you name him however you want. Also, for a *long* time, Akira Kurusu was the only name and folks just got used to them.

btw Akechi has a lightsaber when he's disguised as a Phantom Thief because he views the Phantom Thieves as childish

@@Stei_n Nice. But doesn't Akechi also use lightsabers dressed as Black Mask in Royal or in his fight?

@@mat8791 I'm pretty sure it's a long red multiple edged blade

@@CrimsonTy The blade is a serrated sword, like a k-bar knife.

I’m pretty sure Akechi uses a lightsaber because he basically got his childhood stolen away from him when he was passed around homes like a basketball, never actually getting to experience real home. Also probably why he also has a Laser Gun.

Ikr, there is no way someone can complete the game 💯 New Game Plus = Sataneal and whatever social links you didn't max out.

I think he is talking about the first palace

He is talking about EACH palace, he compares 5-10 hrs in game to 2 hrs in anime

Lmao really 😂

It's only 100+ hours due to the forced side chore content. The meat of the game that revolved around the main plot was hardly more than 30+ hours.

A n d y S Side quests and unimportant shadows: filler episodes in every anime.

Talking about JoJo I wonder how the anime would have turned out if it was produced by David Pro instead of A-1. Every point that the game masters and P5A flaws (Opening, musical direction, visuals, sfx, etc) is managed very well in the JoJo adaptation. I know that JoJo isn't an anime with a mainly God tier animation (It does have god tier moments but almost everytime is standard) but the direction manages to make its better aspects compliment its flaws.

Kifflom Dolphin Exactly; I was actually quite disappointed when I saw the casino escape scene at the start of the anime and saw how stoic he was. I already missed the scene in the game where you see the theatrical shot panning up to Joker: perched up high, briefcase under his arm, coat swaying in the breeze and that cocky, mischievous smirk spread across his face before he makes his escape.

In the beginning of the game it kinda feels like joker is trying to be cool and failing or just ending up looking like a goofball but by the casino palace he becomes a cocky badass and I love that.

I would have preferred the anime if Ren was totally written off the story (and Haru too). A silent protagonist with no point in the plot except being the player's insert, why can't you simply TAKE HIM OUT and make Makoto the protagonist?

@EdMarlo Ulpindo I think it was intentional, as they wanted to avoid giving Ren too much of a personality and ruin the "self-insert" he was created to be. If that was what they wanted, they I'd rather want him completely taken off from the anime, rather than him being given a canon name, because a canon name doesn't always mean he's going to be non-silent and to get a good characterization (and he didn't), while completely writing off the silent protagonist means that the party member (Makoto Niijima) that acts as "replacement protagonist" is a good character.

@EdMarlo Ulpindo For Persona 6 the animation I want the protagonist not to appear at all. While we had a few protagonists like Yu Narukami and Serph from the Quantum Devil Saga book adaptations, who were turned into characters with personality that were even well-written, most protagonists from Megaten are still silent in adaptations or are kept generic to be self-inserts (see for instance Hibiki Kuze, Makoto Yuki or Ren Amamiya). A protagonist that doesn't exist in the anime gives those who want a player avatar their avatar, and to those who want a well-written protagonist for the anime a party member who takes over the protagonist's duties. After all, Persona 5 showed us that half of the cast was an overglorified mouthpiece for Ren

Angel Pacheco persona 4 animation did really good tho

GG-27 but I wouldn’t consider persona 4 a 100 plus hour game. Generally speaking this is supposed to be a brief taste of what you will experience if you wanna play the game. Will they leave some stuff out? Of course, Persona 5 the Animation is basically a commoner’s approach to the material its merchandising (much like Pokémon with its game and YuGiOh with its trading cards) Persona 5 the Animation’s main goal is to sell you a product that you want to invest. After all the way they approach the anime appears like so. Much like Persona 4 the Animation and Persona 4 the Golden Animation, Persona 5 the Animation is to give you a take on the game and if you want to emulate or create a different approach then you can buy the game and play it yourself. It’s the main rule when it comes to product-based Anime.

persona series is full of repetitive pointless stuff, so you can remove 60 hours from that.

The did it before with P4. To be fair, the P4 game had a lot of useless filler that could have been on the cutting room floor to begin with.

All clearly demonstrates a personality. Even his Persona Arsène gives him more as we all know that a persona is your hidden self and compared to the others Mc's, he isn't a Wild Card by going with the flow or obediently follows but he is one by putting a mask to hide his true self and appear as someone else. Joker forcefully lies to the persona to make a mask to rely upon if a new problem arise. He's the puppeter of the show, the phantom of the opera and the leader in the shadow directing a rebellion against society. So yes, he does have a personality.

Marche800 dude you played the game right can you help me ??? Looking for the 3rd hideout jn shibuya it's not on my map yet

Marche800 ok, you’re exaggerating. You’re talking like this game was some milestone for jrpg’s.... it really isn’t. It’s one of the best recent jrpg’s, but don’t talk like it’ll go down in video game history as legendary as something like Chrono Trigger or FF7.

Baba Bobo Am I exaggerating? I'm of the mind that the aesthetic of Persona 5 is going to loom over every RPG I play from now on. It sets a pretty dominant precendent in that regard. If an rpg doesn't have a strong aesthetic it will always have something inferior to P5. Now I'm not saying it redefined the genre entirely but neither did FF7, FF7 just popularized the RPG genre and pushed it towards the 3D era but as far as gameplay and story it was fairly standard when compared to the previous games. Other games did the the same or even more that FF7 but because of how popular FF7 was the changes it brought were more prolific and set a standard.

Marche800 it’s cool that you think Persona 5 is that great. I like it quite a bit myself (although I think P4 is superior, and is better in every aspect besides graphics and gameplay); but don’t be mistaken in thinking it’ll be nearly as celebrated as the other jrpg’s that truly defined the genre. It’s just a really good game, nothing special; we get tons of those over the years. Again, it’s cool you think it’s revolutionary, but it’s just another popular game of the year that’ll be somewhat forgotten by the masses in the years to come, much like the Arkham games, or Nier: Automata.

Baba Bobo Again it's not that I think that it's revolutionary in its own, it's that I think it's presentation is revolutionary and it should become an industry standard to create a unique and rich aesthetic for your RPG instead of going the generic status quo. Also you mentioned NieR automata but that game borrows heavily from pre established ideas in both gaming as a whole and the Drakengard/NieR franchise. Gameplay wise it's pretty standard platinum fare and it's tone, themes and writing style are thing that were explored pretty heavily in the previous games but, like Final Fantasy 7, it only seems revolutionary because Automata was popular and heavily regarded. The same is true for Persona 5 in a lot of ways, it's a audience and critical darling, so even though it did a lot of things that the previous games established those elements that were overlooked in the previous games are brought to the forefront and attributed to P5 because of its popularity. For a lot of people Persona 5 is there first Persona game and so the elements present in the previous games will appear brand new to them and given that their first experience was with 5 they will likely attribute that feeling with Persona 5. It's like how many people still think back to their experience with persona 3 when they talk about what so great about Persona. If those same people go on to make game ormf storues of their own there's a great chance that it'll be inspired by Persona 5. It may seem like a Renaissance for of veteran fans but to newcomers, to which there are a lot of, it's all brand new.

You can actually Persona 4 golden now! For it is released on PC. Persona 4's the best.

Like a kid rephrasing a wikipedia article into his own words for a book report. There is no love being put into this adaptation and it shows, especially compared to P4A.

To be honest, a lot of this either didn't confuse me or didn't bother me. The teacher questions seemed pretty obvious to me once the whole "views school as his castle" thing was dropped, the metaverse was obviously a uniVERSE of META-cognition (reinforced by calling it the "cognitive world"), the cat... really, I've seen "obviously anthro animals" vehemently deny that they are that animal in too many ways to have this bother me, and the Velvet Room...

As much as I prefer "Akira Kurusu", I also like the meaning behind "Ren Amamiya". Apparently it means Lotus, Rain, and Palace. Palace is obvious, Rain I'm guessing is meaning to make something fall (the palaces), and the Lotus is a symbol of purity and cleansing in Buddhism. I personally think going for something around the word Trickster or Thief would've been more fitting, kinda like how Narukami meant "howling god" and was the name of the Japanese god of thunder, and Izanagi was a lightning persona based on a god.

^ Same. I bought P1 on PSP, and both parts of P2 on PSN a few years back. I like to think I can get over old game mechanics to a degree, but they just feel so inaccessible by today's standards.

Seven_Martinez I'm fifty fifty about the remake idea, it sounds good cause it could reintroduce the p1 p2 games again and attract gamers with a new look sticking with the same story, but at the same time I'm not very keen about it since I'm really attached to the old game mechanics and its old unique style. I remember playing my first persona game on the ps1 and it was innocent sin, thing is it was in Japanese cause of the issue of not being localized, it was hard getting by not understanding anything but my big brother was mainly playing it too so we got the handle of it, luckily the psp versions were released, understanding the game made it a thousand times enjoyable then it already was.

p2 is fine but p1 is bullshit

Honestly, I think an anime studio COULD make a good anime out of Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment, for a couple reasons; a) no social links, so all the charactization happens IN the main storyline, b) those games take place over a MUCH shorter period of time, rather than almost a full year, and c) most places and events in P4 and P5 were essential to the plot structure, so you could rarely condense things, but in Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment, there are some plot points and areas that could fessiblly be shuffled around and combined without losing anything, especially since the game isn't played on a calendar system, so if you move stuff around there's no "what on earth were the characters doing for that WHOLE MONTH-LONG GAP OF TIME???"

Vittorio Pugliese Why do you keep spamming this? It’s so dumb

@@renamamiya5997 I know it's fumb but keeping Ren in the anime withut giving him any sort of added personality is even more dumb.

I wish I could play Persona 3 but I can't get a port of it on my PS4. Plus I heard P4 improved on the P3 game mechanics so I don't want to feel like I'm playing a down graded game. But a remaster would solve all of that.

If the protagonists were characters in the games, the games could be much better and there wqouldn0't be any need for the anime

I want them to be real characters on their own. In the anime Yu was an actual character, even though Makoto in the movie was still silent (he had a few lines, but roughly the same as Ren in the game), and in the adaptations, the other non-Yu Persona MCs lacked the choices, but their mutism was explained with plot reasons, such as Souji in the manga being born with damaged vocal chords, or Yu from the Golden Animation being born mute, or who knows. As for the protagonist in P6 I hope he'll be an actual character (or who knows, TWO actual characters!), but, if he's going to be silent in the game, then I think the anime won't make another exception like Yu, instead giving him only facial expressions a la Wind Waker but no dialogue whatsoever. Like the protagonist in P1 manga and unlike Yu, I also think the P6MC might stay unnamed in the anime. As for Ren, I think they might retconnect him as an actual mute in spinoffs and have Futaba speak for him.

RPGs with pre-established protagonists are very rare nowadays. Even Tales switched to a silent after Xillia!

And even Xenoblade X and 2 had character creation, and they are the sequels of Xenosaga, which never had mutes!

Hey, don't you go dissing an excellent source of memes

Ace Attorney the game : Creative, innovative, and intense master piece of a game no one expected from a game series about lawsuits. Ace attorney the anime : Pointless, lifeless, low budgeted massive pile of cringe festival.

Season 2 confirmed

P4 golden anyone?

I watched that. I thought it was good. I really don't like the game mechanics they use and have no interest in the game, but the quirky characters and cases are fun to watch

Ps3

Giantspaz *should have

*should've

Giantspaz the art style is different

Shaft would've probably nailed the aesthetic better though

you do realize that UBW was a horrible adaptation

Sadly some people don't have the money or the time to play a 150+ hour game instead would have recommend that over the Anime.

Adam Batey That's not an excuse for poor quality and laziness.

That's a low bar it's like saying "well at least this food taste better than shit."

Even that had some funny dumb shit like the whale feathers and drawing forth your Persona being a sex metaphor.

Adam Batey I agree by the way I like your avatar

Trinity Soul? That's just a legend, like Persona 1 and 2

Char You’re considering your assumption that the game could do more with Akechi as a redeeming factor? Let’s be real. They aren’t going to do anything more with Akechi that the game hasn’t already done.

What lines did they mess up for Akechi?

I second this and raise you: further development for the other party members as well as they were significantly less explored than their counterparts from the previous games in the series.

Not that I disagree with you that they could use the anime to add in more development for all characters (Akechi included), I just don't agree that he lacked with in the game to begin with.

Yes, Akechi.

Different studios, different directors, different amount of time given to work on the product. Also this is the studio that game us the Persona 4 Golden Animation, and that was 12 kinds of mediocre (except the bad ending episode). It's really a shame they couldn't bring us something on par with the Daybreakers OVA, but its almost definitely cause they rushed the damn show out like crazy.

Weren't those from a different studio, by a different director, with a different staff?

The only movie in the series that had a different studio was the first one. After that, the remaining three were all animated by A-1 Pictures. It could be the fact that three directors worked on the movies (1, 2, 3/4 all had separate directors). Regardless, they still did a much better job. This anime is just a total disappointment for anyone who has played the game. Even if you haven't, going from the anime to the game will be a shame, because you already know the events that will occur but they won't evoke the same sort of emotion. It doesn't help that again, the game also had brilliant art direction that looked so good when playing. If they can't capture the aesthetic that helped push the game into the mainstream, what's even the point of making the show? That's be like if an "Oyasumi Punpun" anime just completely did away with the bird head - why would you even do that?

Of course the P3 movies are better.....since they're movies and are held to a greater standard.

P3 was beautiful, yes but everything else about it was trash

The original is on PS3 and PS4. To play it on PC, you need an emulator for it, P5R is a PS4 exclusive

or they can use ps3 emulator, p5 is playable there

DDkiki Furolo Money is tight. Some cant afford good pcs to play emulator.

I don't have the money for a PS3 either lmaoooooo

Siegfried Final You don't really need an overly strong PC to play it. You don't even need to have a good GPU as the emulator is mostly dependent on the CPU. I have a 3.1ghz 4440k,8gb of Ram and a potato for the GPU and the game runs fine with some slowdown in crowded areas. Totally playable and was able to finish it.

amr mohamed Mine is a spoiled potato

Same here!!! I want to play the game so badly but I don't have ps4 😢😢

Fiza Rizwan it’s on ps3 too

I have a switch but sadly it's not on it D:

If you are like me, you will find that game is more serious and the animation is more of a humour without bitching about the graphic.
