Man just knowing this game's development has been finished is infuriating

Aeana pretty much nailed it with this post earlier in the thread:

I mean...if anything they went from not giving any western games perfect scores to quite a few last gen...

 

[bluethree]

just one more week to go, so ready for this

Right? More development time, please.

 

[Ennosuke]

Only 161 more days.

It hurts so much When I saw the Anime, I was in perfect persona mood and basically ready to start playing.

What western games other than Skyrim did they give perfect scores to? (and iirc they gave Skyrim a perfect score because the publisher of Famitsu also published the Skyrim strategy guide in Japan)

Waiting till next year, my god why

The reviewer comments translated by @MysticDistance:

Yoshida

The game is worthy of special mention. From character actions, event scenes, camera angles and other things such as the design of the UI text, Persona 5 is a stylish work that sets it apart from other Japanese RPGs. (10 points)

Ashida

The feeling of striking an enemy’s weakness and pulling off an All-Out Attack is great, and combat is as equally thrilling as the Phantom Thief motif story. (10 points)

Namko

The game has a lot of variety in terms of combat because of negotiations, Baton Touch, and other elements. There are some flaws, but the pros outweigh the cons. (10 points)

Bunbun Maru

The game is a sophisticated drama with stylish menus and more that fits the series’ appeal. However, guns and battle equipment are expensive. Overall, it’s a big step up from the previous entry.

My personal bias interprets the less positive quote as "MOAR LEWT PLEASE" which causes me to disregard it coldly

 

[mdubs]

80 hours!? Persona 5 doesn't respect my time! No buy!

Spoiler

This isn't a good comparison though - Persona 4 Golden in particular respected our time by being 80 hours long even on easy mode but actually having the main scenario feel constantly exciting (in my view) with story progression and fun little moments. This is different than an 80 hour game where 50 hours of it is wrapped up in mindless grinding or fetch quests. If anything, Persona is an excellent example of what long games should be because it never feels like you are just spinning your wheels for x amount of time waiting for story progression.

Simply cannot wait for this. Don't need Famitsu telling me it'll likely be a GOTY 2017 contender.

I agree generally but felt Persona 4 dragged a bit on some of the "New character, new dungeon, new teammate" parts, but thankfully the art design was so refreshing for each Dungeon it didn't matter too much. It just felt a little too predictable at times from a story angle and could have dropped a character or two without much loss.

I'm leaving for my honeymoon the day after release.

Guess I'll try to finish Persona 4

 

[hemo memo]

I think there's more value to a gaffer impressions than Famitsu review.

I mean, yeah. The translated Famitsu review is basically stuff you could know from watching the trailers.

How the fuck anyone can call this a review is beyond me.

 

[AerialAir]

Did you know Nintendogs was given 40/40?

OG Nintendogs was played, by children and teens, over 100 hrs, so there's that lol

 

[Waji]

It's nice to see the series earning better and better score while it also seem to get better quality. Now let's hope it deserves so Famitsu can at least have one score that's right.
Only a few days to wait and see by ourselves.

XIII-2 was a pretty damn good game.

If you like a game that is absolutely not worth its score, then yes it is pretty good.
