There is no actual sex in that game, just FYI.

Honestly, that's basically what happens. There's some innuendo and bad jokes but it isn't nearly as blatant as people make it out to be. It's kind of a meh dungeon crawler though. There were a few jokes in there that made me actually laugh, but the writing's pretty forgettable too. Play it if you're desperate for something to play, but it's definitely not a replacement for Persona or anything. EDIT: Actually, the most memorable thing about the game is its OST. That's worth looking up on youtube if nothing else, it's pretty unique.

Yeah Conception's just pretty much a dull dungeon crawler with hilarious music and an almost interesting gameplay system if everything wasn't so focused on the most simple bullshit. I like a few characters and the voice acting is inconsistent in its quality. If you just want a dungeon crawler it's not going to be better or worse anything. I pretty much bought it because a friend saw a video of it and told me it was so stupid and I love stupid games.

The next Persona game is gonna be later this year, it's a 3DS game in the style of Etrian Odyssey though. The next real one will be early next year. Any time you look at a game and think "Oh, this will be like Persona, I should buy it!" just stop and walk away.

I played Etrian Odyssey once. I found some rats inside a boot and they murdered my whole party. Also EO is that game where an official Atlus USA trailer had Homestuck references in it. Excels fucked around with this message at 03:01 on May 15, 2014 |

I really doubt PQ is even going to be an interesting game to play or see the story of, so you're probably set up for disappointment with that one too (I should probably actually play an EO game now that they're on sale like ImpAtom told me though). With the possibility P5 might also be bad, you might not even get the luxury of the Persona game satisfying your Persona game itch. Truly the only games that will be fun and worth your time are P4AU and P4D.

They've got the talent and the experience to pull this weird-rear end mix off. It is certainly not a game built for everyone, Etrian Odyssey itself is really only around to fill a very specific hole, but it can totally work.

My only worry for PQ is that they might make it too easy. But as long as "hard" mode or whatever is as challenging as an EO games normal mode I don't really care.

Yeah, because they have all of the characters everyone loves and the tone set for them. That's worth far more to most people than the gameplay.

Arc System Works, aside from having a decades long pedigree for making good 2D anime fighting games, already made a good game out of P4A and Atlus has the team responsible for creating arguably the most popular Japanese portable rhythm game series ever making P4D. I don't see why anyone would think they would screw those up all things considered.

I didn't say they were? Those are the only two games I'm excited for out of the four we know of and the two I know will definitely be fun. Well, with some of the balance changes they're making in P4AU it could stupid as poo poo, but still fun.

This is fair; let us all remember that we know essentially nothing about 5 besides teaser speculation and thus it is legitimate to withhold excitement, and Atlus USA hasn't said a word about Persona Q, let alone that Etrian Odyssey is in even more niche territory than SMT itself.

I admit we don't know anything about P5, but it should just as easily be mentioned that no one should be bringing that up in the context of "a Persona game that is going to satisfy your taste for a Persona game" because that game could have a completely new style of play. PQ, from all of the gameplay I've seen looks like it's just another generic JRPG setup with Persona characters and I'm gonna try Etrian Odyssey pretty soon, so if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, and you can buy me all the titles you want saying how much of a shithead I am or just call me one, that's much cheaper.

It's crazy to assume either game will be bad before we know anything about them, though. Especially since we seem to be basing a lot of the negativity off their weird Japan only publicity. The last couple numbered Persona games were good and Strange Journey is the proof of concept for Q. Maybe they'll suck but there's no proof of that and past examples point to the exact opposite. Though I guess I'm the guy that thinks P4A has a poo poo, poorly implemented story that doesn't even work for the style of game Arena is and also thinks P4D is just stupid/ the most pandering fanwank bullshit ever so I guess take my opinion with a grain of salt.

You know what I meant. That's more than the 30 seconds 5 gave us, sure, but besides fan translation a lot's a relative unknown.

Oh I wasn't making a point against you. There's no real reason to get excited for 5 yet besides NEW PERSONA GAME and there's so much unknown that I don't blame anybody for a "wait and see" policy.

Strange Journey is the exact kind of niche thing that does not dissuade me from thinking PQ could be bad, because Strange Journey is a very "love it or hate it" kind of game and I was not one of its fans. P5 is gonna quite possibly be a new gameplay style like P3 was coming off of P2, running on new software/hardware that Atlus has only done one other completely different type of game for (Which was also love it or hate it), and quite possibly could be coming from what they think people liked from Persona, it is not uncommon things like this end up awkward or bad. That being said, some of that is only based off pattern recognition and belief that Atlus might have to use this as their testing ground for JRPGs on HD consoles. Those could be good games and I could be very full of poo poo (quite possible), but they are not unfounded. Compared to P4AU which already has another version of the game with fun gameplay and the new characters combined with new shadow stuff has me very interested and so long as the gameplay remains as fun as it is, that game can be an unbalanced mess and I will get a ton out of it. P4D is being made by the Project Diva guys who make fun rhythm games, combining that with Meguro's already good music (And the remixes he's probably making specifically for that game), and the fact I can put Chie and Kanji into dance battles where they have to serve shadows is amazing and makes me optimistic about both of those games.

If you do actually play EO instead of just looking at videos of it, don't be a punk wimp and just look up all the best builds on some Wiki. That's the lame way to play.

Not sure if it works on CRTs if you're going for the authentic 16 bit experience since the screen refresh rate may screw it up.
