Rumour: Persona 5 Royal Releases In the Same Month as Final Fantasy VII Remake

@get2sammyb If This Is True Your On Persona Review Duty While @Shogunrok Gets FF7 Remake

@Areus It's fine I'll just use Push Square's Hyperbolic Time Chamber to review both.

@ShogunRok And What Come Out Of It As a Super Gamer 2

This would suit me fine. I am not personally interested in Final Fantasy VII, but Persona I am all over. Please be true.

Edit: Hopefully it will be late March purely because of the Yakuza binge that I will be doing in the prior month.

This game should come out in January or May. In any months between it would be just terrible for sales.

@Areus Exactly

@ShogunRok Don't use it too much or you'll be 940 years old by the end of march.

I'll probably be skipping this one then, I loved the original but with FFVII out then and Cyberpunk shortly afterwards I don't see myself finding time to play this again

Loved Persona 5, but I don't really want to buy an entirely new, $60 version of the game on the same platform for some bonus content. I feel like a lot of people who bought the original will feel the same way, ESPECIALLY if it's launching around Final Fantasy VII Remake, which, sorry, gets my full attention on PS4 until I beat it.

I want it at least 1 month away or later than ff7 remaster release.

@ShogunRok This explains how you can review JRPGs and still replay the Witcher 3.

We're on to you.

I defo want this, but no way im biting in March. Not with TLOU2 in feb, FF7 in March, and Cyberpunk in April. There will be no time to play this. They should bring it over in time for the summer drought - preferably July or August time.

If this is true, March and April are gonna be a massive timesink. Between this, FF7, and Cyberpunk, that's a lot of RPG.

@Rob_230 I dunno. Yeah, there would be more time to play it, plus it wouldn't clash with other games, but it's due this month in Japan. Having to wait for a 9 month period at the earliest just for a localization would be ridiculous, and the wait for vanilla P5 after it's Japanese release was already long enough if you ask me. I know Atlus doesn't have the best track record with timely western releases, but we shouldn't wait that long for it.

The earlier P5R comes out the better for me, because that means it’ll go on sale earlier. I’m not paying full price for it since I’ve already played the original.

I preordered VIIR the week it was put up.

@Expa0
Pretty ignorant comment. They are both RPG's. Non action titles and being an RPG is not mutually exclusive. The irony of your comment is that you were trying to prove what the definition of an RPG is. All you really proved, however, is that you don't know.

@Rob_230 Ill just play cyberpunk a few months later. 😋

Still have not played the Witcher 3 GOTY.

@Flaming_Kaiser IMHO, swerve The Witcher 3, unless you like the idea of a 3rd person Elder Scrolls with fudgy, unsatisfying hand feels.

The original FFVII has to go down as the most powerful gaming experience I ever had. As a teenager, it opened my mind to the whole RPG genre. Still, with an ever-growing backlog to work through, I doubt I'll pay full price on day one.

@NotOnlyTheGame Final Fantasy 7 was great not as good as Legend of Dragoon but i loved it i also loved Final Fantasy 8 though. I hated Elder Scrolls on the PS3 it was so ugly. I do believe that the Witcher 3 is gonna be way better when i Finally try it. 😉

@Flaming_Kaiser The Witcher 3 looks nice. It's expansive and complex too. It just didn't click for me. Everything about it felt a little bit off. I like my games to feel... somehow tighter, all round. (For example, Horizon Zero Dawn is smaller, and more shallow than TW3, but it's a joy to play.)

Back on topic, I enjoyed FFXV, but that was a bit disappointing too. I hope FFVII remake has more interesting battle mechanics.

Bad idea to release two big JRPGs in the same month. No games demand time like JRPGs.

Execpt maybe MMOs or the Civilization games maybe...

@NotOnlyTheGame Horizon Zero Dawn is great too play i clocked 30 hours in the starting area just screwing around with hunting. First time i did not find the collectables a chore too collect because they added too the story too. 😃

Final Fantasy 15 was dissapointing for me especially when i heard that the story never will be complete after the lead left and they cancelled 2 important DLC because of that. Now you know why i hate liveservice and the Final Fantasy 7R starts really bad with summons held ransom behind a preorder. 😩

Best advice for any gamer. Don’t worry if multiple AAA titles launch at the same time. Enjoy them at your own leisure - it’s much more fun that way.
It’s not a race to the finish for internet bragging rights.

@NotOnlyTheGame I also found the Witcher 3 to be a bit ‘off’. The combat and movement feel floaty and weird to me.

@Flaming_Kaiser compared to most games the controls and movement in HZD are god like. Everything works flawlessly.

@Arnna I know right. 😁

@Flaming_Kaiser HZD took me 3 attempts to get good and lost in the world.
Glad I went back to it, one of the best open world action games ever. And imo still the most beautiful game on PS4, technically amazing

@Arnna I almost quit halfway through because i was waiting too long too progress with the story. But after i picked up with the story i could not stop. And ofcourse the bigger monsters i loved those fights.

@Flaming_Kaiser the story was well written, a little convoluted. but I’m more interested in gameplay than narrative most of the time.
