I could almost understand it from the perspective of 'not everyone has every console, so Switch players are getting a spinoff without any of the main story'. I don't think that's all too strong, because honestly you've had plenty of time to learn things about it otherwise, and it's not like Atlus haven't done that before with Persona Q. I think what people are really angry about isn't that they didn't get the port they wanted, but that they were wrong, because they convinced themselves with largely unsubstantiated leaks and speculation that a straight port was coming.

I'm a drat sight more likely to buy this than another copy of Persona 5, even with updates. Besides, it's not like Persona 5 on the Switch is off the table; it's just not worth a keynote announcement because it's a port of a three-year-old game, it's more likely to get the same level of announcement that, like. Hellblade's Switch port got.

I mean poo poo, P5 came out for the PS3, that console is like a hundred bucks brand new just go get one if you wanna play the game so badly, don't hold out for a Switch port for three years. I don't know what it is about porting games to the Switch that makes people go so apeshit, it's not like it's out on Xbox or Steam/Epic or anything either.

Yeah this makes more sense. Same reason that I guess people are also mad that the new girl in P5 isn't a new main character despite the huge contextual dialogue evidence that she wasn't, and the evidence that she could be was limited to two main arguments of "she looks plain so she will be a main character" and "there is one wierdly named file in Smash brothers she will be a main character", both of which are really grasping at straws in terms of evidence

I think it's interesting that Atlus is doing a Musou game and their other collaborations have produced very interesting results lately so maybe it'll be good. However, I've never played a Musou game and I'm not entirely sure I'm going to jump in now. I was really hoping for a new RPG experience and I didn't get that with either announcement. Here's to waiting for SMTV or EOVI.

It’s a portable system. You can play full fledged console game on the go. That’s why people want tons of ports to happen, hope that helps you understand.

they've done an updated version of every persona game, even the 1 and both versions of 2. everyone expects that

the general quality of the persona spinoffs isn't that high tho, so I can def see viewing the musou game with trepidation

And I have to admit, I think JRPGs are right at home on the Switch because of the docking system. JRPGs are prone to both a ton of cinematic spectacle you might want to see on a TV screen, and a lot of very passive gameplay that suits just taking it on a bus ride or to the bathroom. So it is a little disappointing in that way, the more JRPGs on the Switch the merrier.

I want P5 on the Switch because I have a Switch and it's a million times more convenient for me to play games undocked. Like I have housemates, so one can be playing Xbox with his kids and the other's watching a movie and I don't have to arm wrestle someone for TV rights to play Mario, I can just go play Mario or whatever.

they'll never be able to fix P5's terrible content and weak willed liberalism in any sort of remake so I mean, gently caress yeah I'd rather just fight hundreds of shadows in a musou rush with Rivers in the Desert playing. good call atlus

It's possible considering how many characters these games usually have.

Imagine having all three Persona Jokers in the same game.

You'd say that, but FE Warriors has burnt a lot of good will.

finally saw the new trailer, i like the new character's design and am looking forward to doing another p5 playthrough

maybe they'll just sell it as a dlc for current owners. if not i guess i'll just start on hard from the start so it doesn't get all hosed balance wise from having a compendium filled

They should absolutely do like a $20 option where you can upgrade to Royal if you already have Persona 5.

They almost certainly will not do this, which is a shame because there is no reality where I pay $60 for Persona 5 again unless I get to give Hasino a noogie

I'd pay $60 and buy a PS4 Pro if Royale let you give your confidants noogies.
