Square Enix asks fans about if Persona 5/FF15 were out at same time, release hint?

Persona 5. Persona 4 was amazing. One of my favorite games of all time.

FF13, on the other hand, was shit. I have no reason to think 15 will be good.

Final Fantasy XV.

The Persona series has never done anything for me, and the adoration it gets is something I struggle to understand.
 

ULTROS!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
I'd buy both and play the shit out of them.

The real question is: what if Persona 5 turned to shit and FFXV is ranked among the top FFs?

I'd prefer Final Fantasy 15.
I can still enjoy Final Fantasy titles that I don't like, but I cannot stand MegaTen/Persona games I do not like. At worst (imo) Final Fantasy gives me an average experience and that's fine, but MegaTen/Persona doesn't.

Much like many here, Persona 5.

Not to say I'm not still interested in FFXV, but P5 just appears to have way more charm to me.
 
Both of them are day one buys. I just want them asap as long as they're not rushed. If they released around the same time Id think Id go for Persona 5 first.

That's interesting cause it relates to their little problem there. Do they still appeal to the real jrpg crowd, and will they succeed in targeting a wider audience with an FFXV on the action side of things. There is really a risk of drowning in the middle of the river there, even if i'm sure the hype around the game will make it a sucess no matter how. But what will be left of a traditional FF audience after that..
 
Persona 5


Oh wait, I'm in Europe.
My feelings exactly. I'm interested in both of them, and I'll get both, but I'd play Persona 5 over Final Fantasy XV if they came out on the same day. The only thing that can sway me if extra cool stuff is being dangled in front of my nose, like a PC version.
 
Star Ocean 5. Wait, is that not one of the choices? Damn.

*sighs* FF15, then. I'll get Persona 5 later. It's got a big cult following so I'm not concerned with whether it does well or not--it will. XV will do well too, but usually I factor a company's size and need for a product I enjoy to succeed into my buying decisions. Ultimately, P5 will be fine and it'll be my first time trying out the franchise. FF is the franchise that got me into RPGs in the first place, so there's a bit of loyalty there.

star ocean 5 is mentioned in other questions though ;)

Not played either series but I would be leaning towards Persona 5 since it looks more fun.

Not that Final Fantasy XV doesn't look fun, but Persona 5 got a little cat dressed up in a superhero outfit how can you not love that?
 
Game enthusiast obviously will go for Persona. Better track record and P4 is one of the greatest RPGs there is.

... So we can be getting FF15 as soon as summer of next year?

The funny thing is that in this thread (and maybe in the poll) Persona will win for a large margin, but I doubt that P5 will sell even 1/3 of FF XV

Welp...if GAF is anything to go by, FFXV would be better off steering clear of Persona 5 by a at least a month or so. I had no idea the Persona franchise was this popular...

...Probably should give one a try sometime.

Is that song on the questionaire site new? I haven't heard it before.

I would likely pick Persona 5 just because I'm waiting to see more from 15 first. I'll end likely up getting both at some point once they come out.
 
Persona 5 is more likely to be good, but Final Fantasy is the more appealing franchise to me. I dunno, that's a tricky one.

I will say though that a summer release would be perfect for FFXV. Get it out there during the obligatory drought of releases so that it gets maximum exposure. Releasing the game in fall is just going to hurt its prospects.

You could switch those games with Tomb Raider and Uncharted 4 and I wonder what everyone's response would be. Honestly, Persona 5 is a no-brainer at this stage. Tabata and co still need a lot of work to do. Episode Duscae wasn't that convincing.

Also
don't say Persona 5 guys, or they'll delay the game :p

I don't think this is being asked because FF15 has a shot of making it out at the same time.

I think they're checking the status of where the fuck the Final Fantasy IP even rates anymore with its target audience.

The answer, by the way, is that it's still the biggest non-Pokemon JRPG, but not by nearly as much as it used to be.
