For our site, https://youtu.be/jgPuyTQ9ouI As a first time Persona player, this game is fantastic and makes other jrpg's feel lifeless in comparison. 5/5
94? Seriously? That's what I bet on... is this real life?!

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
I'm so glad I got into the Persona series at just the right time. The first Persona game I played was P4 back in late 2015 and P3 in early 2016. I really only had to wait around a year or so for this game. I feel so bad for those who played P3 and P4 when they came out. That wait must have been unbearable.
100 hours to complete?
yeeeeeeeeahhh, I'm worried about that too

I'm in the same boat. Might need to stop fucking around with side quests and just mainline through.

So 2017 is now one of the best gaming years confirmed. Persona 5, Nier and zelda to name a few just cements this year as being exceptional. Only concern seems to be the ending is a bit rushed but it's about the journey and apparently persona 5 delivers in that area really well.
We need PenguinKnight to step up again. That dudes max social link guides are incredible.
Yeah, a 93 would only make it the tied for the third best PS4 game ever.
You should reflect on how silly this post is

Don't forget that Edge gave it an 8, that probably will take it down a little.

This game won't have a world map right? Just like the other persona's I'm sure, but I wish they would change that aspect sometime. Its basically a point and click map to destinations.

From the EGM review:
This sounds extremely disappointing. Maybe even thread-worthy
its a different culture. imposing American cultural norms on them is not going to work.
Whether or not this issue should have come up when translating the game for American audience's is a whole other issue.

Breath of the Wild and Persona 5 a month from each other, what is this year? My wallet has never been so afraid of videogames before.
It's a point and click map to destinations, and this time almost every point of interest (i.e. a single shop) has a fast travel option.

So many amazing games, hard to keep up. I wonder if you can just jump on this having never played the previous ones.

In what world is a 93 or 94 defined as not reviewing well?
Damn another incredible game coming out in such a packed time period. I'm just digging into Nier Automata and haven't even really gotten into Yakuza 0 or Nioh. Hopefully I can beat Nier pretty quickly and jump into Persona 5 as I already own both Yakuza 0 and Nioh so job done on supporting the developers. Now just need to play all these games!

Is that really the sole reason points were knocked off? I haven't had the chance to read it yet.

They translated the game and are releasing it here so our cultural norms are absolutely applicable.

I'm not disagreeing with those put off by the very long length, I am quite too, but this shouldn't be coming as a surprise.
P3 and 4 take around 80 hours to complete. I just finished 4 Golden on vita last month and it felt like 20 hours. These games tend to be served by their extreme length, and they fly by super quickly. I understand your reluctance, I've been there myself, but I wouldn't deny myself a Persona game because of its length. The vast majority of the game has no difficulty since it's about managing your time and picking social activities, so it's more like a book or a season of TV than anything.

..just.. a week to go...
P4 Golden was the first time for many to get into that series...100h in front of a big screen for such a massive JRPG def. an easier pill to swallow as a handheld title...for me and many others,
Oh wow.
