Persona 5: The Royal Scam

personacentral.com/persona-5-royal-to-have-new-endings-improved-pacing/

>we’ve adjusted the overall playtime so it isn’t too different from Persona 5

So you're telling me Atlus is expecting people to pay full price for this again, and they're not even delivering a bigger game? And Persona fans are apparently not just okay with this, but even excited to buy the game again for full price?

Nope, you're just a retarded WRPG schizo.

So wait you can obsess over Persona 5 all day every day but when someone obsesses over you that's wrong? That's what we call a double standard WRPG-kun

Hey man, there are people spending god knows how much money on .png and you have fightanfags paying for a literal balance update that brings one character, and then pay again for a season pass with 5 characters. And you complain about atlus re-releasing a game with more endings, new characters to interact with, more mechanics, modification of pacing, and other QoL changes?

WRPG-kun, could you please tell me what Atlus should have done instead? they are probably working with persona 6 already, and no they couldn't have waited 3 years to release the game as it is since they didn't fucking know P5 was going to be this succesful in the west.

a ps4 is like fucking 200 bucks, how can't people afford 200 dollars? like dude you haved at least 5 months, save 50 dollars a month and buy a ps4 and P5R.

I swear to god 90% of Yea Forums are NEETs and underage that can't afford shit.

Hey JRPG cum gulper. No one cares about your stinky waifu game or your need to shove your little one inch cheese wiener into some plastic figurines. Just honestly get smoked JRPG nigger.

Huh?

Well we appreciate you dedicating hours of your life to making sure Yea Forums is informed of this same point over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

I play games that I deem fun, I don't care if its japanese, american, swedish, korean, I just play whatever is fun to me, and P5 was a really good game that I loved, probably liked it more than persona 4. But that doesn't mean I don't play western games, I love me some Divinity with my bros, and I bought The Witcher 1-3 and I'm currently finishing the witcher 1 and I'm enjoying it a lot.

>Huh?

The game was clearly very rushed and there were a fuckload of different designers handling different aspects of the game without any form of unifying vision. The story changed multiple times in development and you can still see the bones of older scripts in things like dungeon designs and scrapped mechanics (Kamoshida has a trap room that never springs, early trailers show that the Rattled status effect was supposed to happen in his dungeon and his kitchen area was going to be a more organic stealth section, older dungeons have areas where simply gluing yourself to walls isn't as easy and clearly came from before they added that gameplay mechanic, Futaba's dungeon is designed to allow you to quickly reach the final segment because it was designed before they added fast travel, etc).

JRPG gamers are seething that they'll NEVER EVER EVER get to even TOUCH a female. Stay mad JRPG waifu chunk gamer.

you spam your same image macros every single day on Yea Forums and reddit, but somehow the people pointing it out are the "obsessed" ones.

Fuck off newfag

So, like P4 golden then? That game added a lot of new stuff but it was still only around 10 hours or so longer I think,

I'd say, because it's the standard procedure of the publisher, that makes worse, not better
you don't have to accept a bad practice just because it's been going on for a while, you don't owe a company loyalty or understanding

I'm buying a video game I want to play. No more, no less. How do you suppose Atlus is going to get the upgraded version to people anyway? It's on the PS4 you know not Steam.

Is WRPG-kun the ACK of Yea Forums?

>game has more content but is streamlined so you can go through the game faster
Only WRPGcucks would think this is bad since they think spending 100 hours in the same randomly generated dungeon is exciting

I love how jrptrannies can only dilate and samefag to the point "they" have to bring up a boogeyman when confronted with facts.

Don't conpare atlus to this garbage, atleast they keep the features and add more monsters

>IP count didn't go up.

Just because there is a long tradition of Fatlus fucking over its Persona fanbase doesnt mean they arent getting fucked

No, that’s Xfag from XC2 threads.
WRPG-kun is just a westerncuck going full retard.

I am playing the left one right now and other than the squirell that follows you anywhere, there isn't absolutely anything new?

obsessing over products like you do isn't healthy

absolutely based

JRPG fags are mentally ill. If Western games added like 30 minutes of extra content for full price after 2 years people would shit on it mercilessly. For fuck's sake, they are still releasing like 3 different versions of every Pokemon game.

You're right but brand loyalists will defend anything, especially when said brand involves anime waifus.
Honestly nothing I have seen of Royal makes me think it's worth $60. At most I might consider getting it at a deep discount, but by then I'd probably be spoiled on everything.

>and they're not even delivering a bigger game?
If that means trimming the fat, then I'm fine with that. The game was too damn long to begin with.

"pacing" could mean a lot of things
if they make the dungeons shorter but still keep all the redundant exposition filler scenes it'll be awful

I mean the game was too long and overly padded to begin with. If anything it needed an abridged version.

I like how even Persona 5 fans subconsciously realise their game is shit so all they can do is post memes and pretend it's not.

but its not

>Skyrim/Oblivion
What exactly are we talking about here?

They're buggy messes

So what's the justification Personafags have for not releasing a cheaper expansion for owners of the original game? Last I checked, digital updates have been a thing for the past 14 years.

You can clear most palaces in 3-4 visits, if you're not stingy with SP items, so cutting dungeon content is really hard.
Reducing waifu shit is not an option.
Making story and characters more consistent throughout the entire game requires actual work.
And since they promised completely new semester and party member, I have no idea what has to be cut down to "adjust the playtime".
They are gonna skip it all just like holidays in P4 and *attempt* to redeem Goro, somefuckinghow.

It has nothing to do with western-jap, it has to do with based and unbased companies. Protip Nintendo is based

Not an argument. Skyrim was a last-gen game, and the special edition is the first time it released on PS4/XB1. Persona 5 is a current gen game that is charging full price again even if you owned it on the same platform.

They went nearly bankrupt BEFORE the Divinity: Original Sin games, which were massively succesful.

But it's Atlus that doesn't make money at all, even with all the milking.

> put yourself into it in the first place.
I saw a stupid argument i enter the stupid argument, But only when i read the reply chain first

atlus finishes their products themselves instead of rolling out a glorified early access alpha test and expecting the fans to fix it for them.

Persona 5 is a finished game. None of the ideas for Royal were originally meant for P5. P5R is improving on an already great game, not finishing an unfinished game.

>Evidence? Literally no other palace is like that.

Not him but, are you retarded? EVERY SINGLE dungeon is like that, it's blatantly clear that the Palaces were made without the idea of Fast Travel and it was then added in later.

The entire concept is about you going through the Palace and opening up a route to the treasure. You create shortcuts, open up new ways, and make a safe path that takes you to the treasure... and then you never use any of those shortcuts a single time because you can just teleport to the furthest Safe House you can get to.

In Kamoshida's palace you've got all the secret passages in the portraits and hidden walls, the whole thing folds in on itself back to the entrance, you can go from the Entrance almost right to the end.

Same with Madarame's.

Futaba's is one long linear path that you open up by clearing out the side rooms. Exactly the same logic, clearing the side paths means you can just run up the middle to quickly get back to where you were. Okamoto's and Sae's are both vertical, exactly the same logic. Every single Palace works like that. The only exception is Shido's which has no shortcuts and (almost) no paths back until the very end, but that's again, very clear by design. It's the final Palace, it's meant to be tough, so you have to go through the whole thing in one big slog and then when you're finally almost through it, it loops back around on itself and you have a shortcut from the start to the end.

The Palaces are all really well designed in this regard and a whole lot of time and effort must have been put into it to do it, it's a fantastic system... And it's completely ruined by Fast Travel that was clearly added in way later on. I used some of the shortcuts in Kamoshid'as dungeon before I understood how the fast travel worked, and then never used any of them again for all of NG and NG+.

Attached: 1555765678428.jpg (461x439, 34K)

Okumura and Sae aren’t designed that way.

Nice to see all of those PS3/360/Switch players "fix" their game by modding it.

>(You): hurr durr don't drag me into the argument
>also (You): why yes I did put my nose into the argument unprovoked
But, by all means, keep doubling down on your retardation.
It doesn't change the fact that the post I originally replied to was apologetic bullshit trying to deflect from Atlus's shitty business practice. You stupid nonce.

Yes they are, they're completely vertical. You take the lift up, you can get from the start of Sae's to the end without encountering a single enemy.

>have this free game you already own and make sure to pay for some epic mods

>Improving arguably the worst aspect of P5, the pacing, is somehow a bad thing.

This is the best thing I've heard about Royal so far.

>Assassins creed and last of us is twenty years old?
No, but half your examples are. Why are you ignoring that?

And Assassin's Creed and The last of Us were exclusively LAST-gen games until their current-gen rereleases came out. They were not avaiable on the platforms those rereleases came out on, because those platforms didn't even exist when the games originally came out.

Persona 5 is an entirely different story, it was available on PS4 on day 1 of its release. Charging full price again even if you already own the game on the same platform is completely unjustifiable.

Borderlands too? Divinity? Seriously i gave you your examples and now you're angry i proved how shallow the gaming industry is. Take off you rose tinted goggles and you'll see its all the same shit.

>all these old titles
kek

>Witcher and Skyrim old
Your understanding of time is warped

What rose-tinted glasses? Nobody complains about Japanese devs rereleasing games like Okami or DMC4: special edition either. Because they were last-gen games (or older), just like those western games you listed.

This is not a west vs east thing. The fundamental issue here, that you are constantly ignoring, is Atlus rereleasing a game on the same platform, after just 2 years, and charging full price again. That's unprecedented.

Almost none of these are RPGs.

Those versions of the games are playable on modern hardware if you aren’t a complete dumbfuck like yourself, all Beamdog does is package already existing free mods into a paid product, way scummier than actually developing new content for a game but of course you are too retarded to make this distinction

>Your understanding of time is warped
Witcher came out in 2007. It predates Persona 4 even.

Skyrim came out in 2011, making it nearly a decade old.

It’s your own fault for not waiting for the definitive version to come out if you didn’t want to buy it twice. Atlus did the exact same thing with 3 and 4, why did you expect anything different?

>Skyrim
No it isn't, this shit has happened before.

How many remasters has skyrim gotten in that time frame?

It’s okay when Nintendo...i mean Gamefreak does it.

>forcing you to buy it again even if you own it on the current platform
Holy shit, I didn’t realize Atlus literally came to your house and put a gun to your head and forced you to buy it, how are more people not outraged by this?

I would gladly pay full price again for the greatest game of this generation. In fact I wish there was an option to pay more, based Atlus deserves it. Maybe I should buy multiple copies.

This but unironically.
