Having never played a JRPG worth anything more than toilet paper, naw i doubt it You're missing out then. FF7 has sold more copies than the entire ME trilogy combined. I started playing Final Fantasy games back when they were 8-bit...and I've never encountered one that I liked. People have different tastes, and there are tons of us who just don't care for JRPG's for whatever reason...and we're not missing out because we don't like what you like. I jumped ship from kiddy-Nintendo-RPG's back in the 90's with Ultima and TES and Baldur's Gate and others and have never looked back.

I don't think it's a ploy. Tuesdays are usually patch announcement days for MMO like games. It's a common thing. This. Tuesday is the traditional announcement or launch day.

I cut my videogame rpg teeth on Dragon Warrior I & II, and FFI on the NES and FFII (er, IV) on the SNES back in the day. FFII (sigh, IV) and its soundtrack will always hold a special place in my heart. But yeah, JRPGs quickly lost me, and when tabletop and videogame WRPGs found me soon after, there was no going back. Years ago I picked up FFX (I think) for the PS2 to see if I had missed anything and it was a god fucking awful experience. Like the way the ex-Bioware crowd talk about whichever DA or ME sequel they hated, that's how I felt.

This might make sense if it were the next big Final Fantasy. Persona? Nah, it's sort of an acquired taste even amongst RPG fans. I also love how OP pointed out the metacritic score, as if it meant something.

I love the Persona series, but am quite burned out on it as of now. Way too many spin-offs of P3 & P4. I actually got sick of the characters . Persona 5 is one I'm going to get maybe next year.... or later. It will be good, but will it be different enough for me to love it? The characters of the last two major installments, though I did like them, were too archetype. I see similar things in 5 with the cast so far. Plus, I got tired of high school students as the protags before I graduated from my own. One thing western RPG's have over JRPG's is adult characters, which is a huge pull for me. Though one thing you can't say is that the Persona series isn't quality work, even if it's not your thing. Also, the series has interesting dark/occult stories involved, horror RPG, and I love that crap. Earlier entrees are my personal favorites. As for the announcement: Seriously doubt it has anything to do with Persona. It just so happens to be the same day. Whoever is buying it will definitely not hold-off because Bioware said something.

Also, other things that happened on April 4th: www.onthisday.com/events/april/4I think Ignatius Loyola's ascension is what likely impacted BioWARE choice of that date. Yep, that must be it.

And it bored me so much (that combat is just awful IMO) that I put it down after 2 hours and never looked back. It's almost as if my opinion of a game counts more than how many people bought it to me. Weird.

If you think mass effect: andromeda is too cheesy you have to play persona 4.
I dare you.
Personally one of my all time favorite games. I will have time for p5 later this year. It's not really competition IMO.
