Poll Final Fantasy XV vs Xenoblade Chronicles X vs Persona 5 (126 votes)

Final Fantasy XV 25%
Xenoblade Chronicles X 43%
Persona 5 33%

Yes, I know we have done this question before, but this is different- this time we're not voting blind, we've seen each game in action, and we know what they are bringing with them to the table.

Given that, then, which upcoming flagship console JRPG do you think will be the very best?

For my part? Persona 5. So much style. So slick. Such an unusual theme. Incredible artstyle, amazing music, gameplay that seems to have built on the already impressive gameplay in Persona 3 and 4. Plus, Atlus's track record, which is nothing short of stunning at this point.

Xenoblade Chronicles X looks ambitious and technically stunning, but it lacks the sort of personal resonance that Persona has, whereas Final Fantasy XV, while looking rather incredible, and like a throwback to classic Final Fantasy, is still suffering from what looks to be a schizophrenic identity crisis, as well as Square's incredibly terrible track record of late.

For me? Persona 5 it is. What about for you?

Not interested in Persona and Final Fantasy hasn't been the same recently...at this rate might go for Xenoblade.

I just realized something

"For my part? Persona 5. So much style. So slick. Such an unusual theme. Incredible graphics, amazing music, gameplay that seems to have built on the already impressive gameplay in Persona 3 and 4. Plus, Atlus's track record, which is nothing short of stunning at this point."

You mean art-style, right?

@deadline-zero0: Yep, I meant the art, it's fairly simplistic in other aspects.

I'm really looking forward to Xenoblade, but Persona 5 is rivaling Zelda in hype for me.

Ok. but yeah, the art style is pretty awesome. the anime cut-ins in the trailer with the red/black/white color scheme is dope.

@deadline-zero0: Yep. I mean, I've always loved stylized graphics, and these just take the cake.

Plus, Persona has always been stylish, but this is something else entirely lol. Persona 3 and 4 seem pedestrian relatively (speaking purely about their respective senses of style here) now.

Reasons why you didn't pick Xenoblade

  • Didn't play the first one and can't fathom it's greatness and scope.
  • You're a weabo / hipster who thinks there's some deeper meaning behind Persona series.

Why is it that so many people don't know the meaning of words? Weaboo means someone who ONLY likes Japanese products. The term is thrown around incorrectly here all the time.

This x1000.

I liked all of them, but if I had to choose only one, it would be Xenoblade X,

Did you watch the Nintendo Direct for it today? Its pretty incredible what they did with it. I only wish I understood Japanese.

I just saw the latest trailer:

Loading Video...

The world looks very impressive so far. Although, that New Los Angelos city looks a lot like Grand Theft Auto V. But from what I've seen and read, Xenoblade X's world will be much bigger than GTA5.

Anyway, between the three RPGs in the poll:

  • Combat - Final Fantasy XV looks the most interesting.
  • World - Xenoblade X looks the most interesting.
  • Story - Persona 5 looks the most interesting.

I'll vote for Xenoblade Chronicles X. I'm not a fan of JRPGs, but it's trailer was the coolest to me. It's the only one that interests me from that list.

Never cared for Final Fantasy.

Played like 10 hours of Persona 4: Golden and gave up. Got bored.

Yeah... JRPG is not my genre.

Ugh... It's a really hard decision. I'm probably going to have to go with Persona 5. I'm still really hoping that FFXV turns out to be amazing after all these years, and I haven't finished the first Xenoblade. It's on my backlog though.

  • Persona 5
  • Final Fantasy XV
  • Xenblade Chronicles X

Persona obviously, Xenoblade is an offline MMO & FF hasn't been good in 15 years, fans are just beaten housewives at this point

I have to admit, I am pleasantly surprised (and not even all that salty) at Xenoblade's lead- I honestly thought the Wii U's install base would impose a natural hard limit on the game's sales, and initial interest in it.

Persona 5 and Xenoblade Chronicles are the two must have games for any JRPG fan.

I stopped caring about FFXV thousands of years ago when it was called FF Versus XIII. Now the art style looks way worse than the original E3, 2006 trailer. Maybe it will win hair graphics king though? :p

FF XIII was awefull but FF XV looks to be on the right path. Never played Xenoblade so I dont care about it. I'm currently playing P4G and loving it but FF is FF, so FFXV gets my vote

Xenoblade X. P5 has a bit of proving to do at least for me. P4G was good, maybe even great, but it had a few annoyances in it, and the social links were pretty shit imo. They were stat boosters for the most part and nothing else.

Final Fantasy XV is kinda off my radar but maybe more footage (along with P5) will surprise. Going to buy all three regardless so its whatever.
