Poll Are you going to buy Persona 5? (89 votes)

Yes 53%
I am hyped for/interested in it, but I am not sure about a purchase yet 9%
No 38%

Okay, so the reason I ask this is because of a sentiment I hear on here (and other gaming boards) about Persona 5 all too often- specifically, it is one regarding a lot of 'hype' for Persona 5 (this will apparently be the first Persona game released amidst so much hype). My question is, for such a niche series (remember, no single entry in the franchise has even crossed a million units sold worldwide, although Persona 4+4 Golden collectively sold more than 1.5 million), how real is the hype? Yes, I know the arguments- it was trending on Twitter worldwide the day it was announced, and then again when it was announced for PS4, it's a niche series with a lot of exposure and a vocal fanbase, and coming to a commercially viable and relevant platform for the first time ever.

Fine.

But how real is the hype? Are you going to be buying the game? And if you do, are you doing it as someone who has played previous games in the series, or are you just planning to jump in with this one?

Isn't it also on the triple? You don't need a quad for it. Sure the PS4 version will be much better though.

Sony's biggest marketing achievement till date- to somehow convince people that a game that originally wasn't even announced for the PS4, was announced only as a PS3 exclusive, in fact, is exclusive to PS4.

Bravo, guys. Bravo.

Did something change, because the last I heard Persona 5 was coming to both PS3 and PS4.

Day 1 purchase for me. I've been a fan of series ever since I played Persona 3 FES on PS2. I enjoy the murder mysteries, characters, and the character interactions of the game. The music has always been great as well, and leaves a memorable impression.

Nope. Still gotta play some more Persona 4 which still really hasn't grabbed me like I thought it would. Granted I've only just met the blond dude with the limp dick problem.

Yes, knowing nothing about it other than I utterly loved Persona 3 and 4 is enough for me to commit to playing it.

why? The name's "Persona 5" but this is a new story. Almost every game in the Persona series is its own story arc. They al share some elements but that is it.

@JangoWuzHere said:

if you're a fan of a series you'd be a fool to not buy a game from it just because of some review instead of formulating your own opinion. I mean, there should be a limit to how much control some opinion piece has over you. It's not like you're venturing to new waters.

Yes. Day one. PS3 and PS4. CE for both if they have them. MegaTen is the best series of all time. Only game I'm really looking forward to other then Persona Q and DeSu2 Break Record.

No, I've grown away from RPGs in general over the years. I've moved towards games that favour direct control and response rather than statistic building. I want what I'm DOING to matter more than the numbers behind what I do.

Having said that, I've never played a game in the SMT series Persona or otherwise so maybe I'm way off base here.

most likely. I've never played a Persona game before but I have always been curious about them. Gotta start somewhere.

So in other words you still play Nintendo rehashes with the same boring formula over and over again.

Why not try Persona? It's probably one or maybe even the best RPG series around today.

Definitely. Probably the last PS3 game I'm getting.
