But we're talking an ~80 hour epic with a whole bunch of tedious hallway fights, in endless monotonous dungeons, with overly long attack animations, and an opaque, convoluted, word-salad set of Personas/abilities. Pretty much everything between the dungeons has a lot going for it. Either making mashing the Attack command like in FF VII an option so I barely notice random encounters, or make the combat system interesting enough that my brain isn't sliding out my ears from finding weaknesses using trial-by-error and then spamming them along with all-out-attacks for every fight other than bosses.Īlso, good luck to anyone new to playing JRPGs having to keep track of and remember the differences between abilities with such transparent names as Rakujaja, Sukujaja and Tarukaja. The dungeons were the most tedious garbage I have ever encountered in a JRPG and the combat commits the sin of being involved enough to require you to pay attention in random encounters, but uninteresting and formulaic enough that they are completely mind-numbing. I had to put down P4G recently because the combat and dungeons were so awful - precisely for the reasons a lot of people hate JRPGS: obnoxious random/hallway encounters. I have enjoyed a lot of JRPGs, running as far back as FF5. I beg to differ on this one, except for maybe that fact that you can tweak the difficulty to trivialize combat if you hate it. To me it is currently the high water mark for JRPGs, and quickly video games as a whole. He told me that if I played OoT and didn't like it then I wouldn't like Zelda. I was asking if the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time was a good starting point for the Zelda series. In a lot of ways I'm reminded while playing this game of something a buddy of mine said. The QOL features in this version of the game take off a lot of the edge to help make your playthrough easier. If you don't like JRPGs, this is a good jumping in point. I'm not even past June and I already know I have another playthrough in my near future. Normally I don't really touch anything over 30 hours unless I'm intimately familiar with the franchise, but if you haven't yet you really do owe it to yourself to play Persona 4 Golden. Persona and the SMT franchise as a whole is pretty intimidating because they are such big games. It's music has been one of the worst ear worms of my life (I've been caught humming it in meetings!). It's like a Stephen King novel but set in rural Japan. The characters are really well written and believable, the setting has this perfect atmosphere. It's not often that you play something that feels like the whole package. I feel like I've wasted my time on every RPG since because this game is just amazing. I sincerely regret not picking this game up in 2008. After building my first PC at the start of the year I realized I had the perfect chance to at least give the series a shot. He got me to watch a few episodes of the Persona 5 anime and I started to come around. He described it as a dating Sim meets Pokémon, and since I don't care for dating Sims I wrote the whole series off. In 2018 my friend got P5R and watching him play I just didn't get it. It made it seem like it was this really scary experience and was just a little weird for my 13 year old Xbox gamer sensibilities (had a PS2 but had moved on to the 360 for Halo 3). I read a review about P4 back in a playstation magazine where it sort of downplayed the game. Persona was a series that always floated in the background for me.
