wev Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I'm down for this! Hopefully it has multiplayer too and character select because I'm all about Best Boy Ryuji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorgot Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 I've not played many of the Warriors games but am working my way through Hyrule Warriors Legends on 3DS and am loving it. You'll be controlling loads of characters through the whole game I suspect, think Hyrule has 25 on the 3DS, so there will be plenty to choose from! I can see the DLC packs being lined up already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qazimod Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I'll be the first to say that... ♪ ...I never saw it comiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing... ♪ It looks bonkers.

Popular Post mogawoods Posted April 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2019 Oh for fuck's sake. Literally any other genre would have been welcome. On-rails shooter. Flight sim. City builder. Kart racer. Digital jigsaw puzzle. Battle sodding royale. Anything but this fucking musou shite again! Is there any popular Japanese series Koei Tecmo can resist gleefully befouling with its brainless, rancid warrior rubbish? Sigh. I hate musou games so much. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks the case which is not massively surprising as Atlus are normally solid on keeping mainline titles in all their series exclusive to one company. Spin offs are different though. Just seemed odds on with the tease of the name of P5S and I get why switch fans may be angry, but given past form it's not surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Omega Force will at least mix things up. Dragon Quest Heroes with it's focus on tower defense and slower more methodical combat, and it's sequel which was more of an action RPG both worked well.

Not hugely bothered myself whether P5 comes to Switch or not but is there any fathomable reason that a third party would do this? Restrict each of its franchises to one platform, I mean.

Cyhwuhx Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 There might be a slight disconnect with the target audience here. And all that after including Joker into Smash even... Yikes. Hope the backlash won't become toxic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gameplay was absolutely dire. An insult to something as revered as Dragon Quest, honestly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But main Persona, SMT, Etrian Odyssey games have appeared have only ever appeared on either Sony or Nintendo. SMT V is a Switch exclusive AFAIK. 4 minutes ago, Cyhwuhx said: There might be a slight disconnect with the target audience here. And all that after including Joker into Smash even... Yikes. Hope the backlash won't become toxic. Joker in Smash is also linked to Persona Q2 on the 3DS, plus links into this game. And the target audience here is not Switch users, it's Persona fans, which is why it's coming to PS4 as well. Even if there is some backlash from Switch owners, it'll sell bucket loads on PS4 along with copies of The Royal. I'm not trying to be antagonistic, but this is all about driving new sales to the Persona fanbase. We may still see a Switch version of P5, but I doubt it now, I think this would have been the time to make that announcement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persona 5 is already on two platforms, right? PS3 and PS4. Seems weird that they wouldn't want to put it out on PC and Switch. I think Switch is outselling PS4 by four or five times each week in Japan these days, which makes the decision even weirder. Unless, as @Vorgot suggests, there's some kind of financial agreement with Sony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persona 3, 4 and 5 and remakes were all exclusive to Sony across PS3, PS5, PSP and Vita. P4 Arena and Arena Ultimax were on 360 as well though, Q and Q2 were on 3DS. SMT IV and it's sequel are 3DS only, now V is Switch exclusive. It's a weird business model but there has to be a reason underlying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It indicates they're happy to port it from one platform to another. If they can move it to PS4, presumably to sell more copies, why not move it to PC, Switch, Xbox One?

ThePixelbarks Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I bloody knew it... well, not the musou part, don't think anyone thought that would have been the next step for P5. But I've been calling out those P5 for switch rumours and leaks for ages on here. I'm vindicated, but in the worst way possible. We're all the Fool's arcana today. Spoiler Yes, I'm another who hates Musous.. Musoues... Miceou? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorgot Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 I'm looking forward to it, but I'm a sucker for anything Persona related. I wasn't keen on these games when I tried them in the past, but Hyrule Warriors won me round by having enough Zelda love in it that it made it a different game for me. Old bosses, weapons, characters, locations etc showing up make it brilliant fun, and I'm sure P5S will do the same. It won't appeal to everyone, in the same way the Arena spins offs, the Q games and the Dancing games don't appeal to everyone, but I'm pretty sure I'll find it a blast.

MW_Jimmy Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I love Musou and I love Persona. I hope it has a storyline ala P4 Dancing All Night. Next question will be what I should play and when. I have Persona 5 but don't have enough of an idea if I should now skip to The Royal instead. Musou fun will probably be the desert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wev Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Persona 5 isn't going to be out in the west till next year, so totally depends if you can wait that long, but you should start it right now, Ryujis waiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeBeaver Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I for one am pretty sad it's this and not a Switch port, I've got P3, FES, P4, P4G & P5, the only one I have finished is P4G, due to it's portable nature, bought my PS4 for 5 and just can't bring myself to sit infront of a TV for all that time, so have not even started it yet, the PS4 has seen less than an hours use in 2+ years. I'll try out this though, I enjoyed Hyrule Warriors on the 3ds, poor performance an all, the odd Musou game now and again, if done right, isn't that bad, just REALLY wanted a Switch port of P5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played through alot of it that way (especially when in Mementos as I really didn't like the music there) and it didn't hamper my enjoyment of Persona 5 in the slightest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
