@Crimson7 thats a fantastic game with terrific and beautiful writing. i appreciate the recommendation, but as a comparison its doing something vastly different and i dont think it rebuts that most of persona 5s writing is deeply engaging and honestly really solid in what it sets out to achieve
p5 is engaging when it's not full of exposition, filler and characters saying the same thing over and over again like it's an anime that treats its audience like adhd ridden children (half of the game)
It makes sense though. Young people getting thrown at a high stakes mission so it makes perfect sense them overanalysing everything they do and feel all the time and talking about mundane every day aspects (the social sim thing ya know). And yes I have played Mother 3, another favorite of mine. I would argue this game has actually great writing. Obviously it's not perfect and should have been trimmed down by like 15%.
i often think about this game, but even more about its reception. so many people swear by it as one of the best games ever and so many treat it as though it were actual garbage. idk why. it's a very strong 7/10. super stilted writing for most of the story and ridiculously stupid political messaging, okay characters with some major hiccups and really fun gameplay. i genuinely don't think it's the game changer 3 was. def better than 4 though.
