Today, I, have entered a grave state of depression when I found that Star Ocean 5 is 20 hours long.
Importers, please tell me this is a lie.
Potato is censored! CENSORED!
>>332964002
why would you want to play the same game for 20 hours?
there's no multiplayer anyway
>>332964189
Potato is lynn in xenoblades x, this animayme baybe is more like a chipmunk
>>332964002
You want a never ending shit like FF13.
I haven't beaten it yet, but it may be that long if you skip the majority of side content. There is a lot of quests and PAs you don't have to do.
>>332964189
>Face capture on animu models
Just why?
>>332964990
20 Hours is too damn short, at least 35-40. Also I heard the post game is basically a bonus dungeon.
The guy who said he finished it in 20 hours doesn't know Japanese, so he obviously missed a bunch of shit and probably even skipped some scenes entirely. I think you could get through SO3 in 20-25 hours on your first playthrough if you were rushing it, too.
The game is supposed to take after SO3, so I assume it's designed for multiple playthroughs, as well.
I'm real close to pulling the trigger on the PSN version, but I gotta ask: how's the post game, BTs, and 4D/Chaos?
>>332964189
>four eyebrows
>>332964002
Why does a games length matter if you personally enjoyed it? How is the length measured anyway? I played games that said they were 12 hours but finish the games with 30+ hours.
Didn't 4 take 3-400 hours to platinum? I never played a SO game but I've never invested that much time in a single player game (Longest was 150 hours in ToGF or unless you wanna count games like AC:NL where I think I made it to 300 before I stopped).
>>332965364
And there are two sub dungeons. One is spread out all over the world through the main story and the other is post game.
>Sci-fi game with space travel
>One planet
>Every characters are from that planet
>It's an underdeveloped planet
What's the point? Might as well be a fantasy game

>>332965364
>The guy who said he finished it in 20 hours doesn't know Japanese
Why would anyone want to play a game that relies heavily on story in a language they can't speak or read? That alone is enough to tell me that person is a retard and his opinion should be immediately disregarded.
>>332966117He's from Gamefags too.
>>332964002
>this thread again
Shitposters please focus on Dark souls 3.
>>332966201
That's even worse. Is anyone seriously trusting him?
>WE DON'T WANT IT TO BE CASUAL LIKE ALL MODERN GAMES
>20 hours long
Tip top kek.
No more 700 hour grind for the 1000G/Platinum trophy, then?
>>332966309
wut? How is talking about star ocean=shitposting on ds 3?
>>332966309
Nigger the shitposters are going all out. They have Final Fantasy XV, Dark Souls 3 and Persona 5 going as we speak. This game is just the 4th in line.
Move on boys
Berseria will be GOAT
>>332966664
Please learn english.
Are there battle trophies
Are there difficulty modes
>>332964002
WHAT?!
How long was SO4? I'm pretty sure I wasn't even done with the second DVD when I got to the 30 hours mark.
>>332966614
He's this guy. I trust his opinion on gameplay stuff. Though he did like Zestiria.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSVtj8Iu-b0
Fuck this shit. I was hoping so much it would redeem SO4. I am so depressed now. FFXV is shit, Berseria is Shitstiria 2.0, P5 is vaporware.
Good old PS2 times, kill me now please.
>>332964002
Why would it matter how long it is?
I mean, yeah, a 5 hour JRPG would be ass, but 20 hours seems perfectly adequate
>>332967902
For a SNES jrpg that length would be ok. For anything from the PS2 and over gen, it's short.
FUCK ROLLER COASTERS
>>332968410
Most jrpgs of any generation are 20-30 hours long. All you gotta do is look at the back of the box, if they say its 40 hours chop off 10. Boom 30.
You can chop off 10 hours for whatever the advertised playtime is for almost any jrpg snes-ps2
Saw somebody stream the game finish the main game and the post game dungeon in under 50 hours. Really disappointed in the lack of content and the content that is there is 100% recycled from the previous 2 games.
JUST
>>332968771
Fuck off.
60 hrs is the bare minimum for a jrpg
>>332964002
20 hours for main story, or to 100%?
20 hours for main story is fine, especially if there is a lot of optional stuff to do.

>>332964002
It's 30 hours long before extra post game Shit, stop being a fucking baby OP any longer than that is too much
Even Tales of Zesteria is longer than that.

It's also the better game

>>332968771
Don't forget you spend time walking on huge tridimensional cities and fields and these games come with cutscenes.
If you have all that into account then no, 20h is kinda short m8...
How the fuck can this be worse than Zestiria? Hell, how can anything be worse than that pile of smoking shit?
Please tell me they are just disappointed and overreacting.
>>332969893
Took me 80h to complete DQ8.
Hell, Pokémon usually goes to the 40h.

What was I doing wrong?.
>>332964002
When they say that it's always about main story fag.
>>332970626
Star Ocean has been worse than Tales ever since SO2.
>>332970751
>>332970821
We're talking about the main story, not grinding forever to kick the Dragovian king's ass 8 times.
>>332966117
People are stupid anon
>>332970626
I prefer Tales more just because of the battle system. SO is shit in that regard.

>>332969424
Rating everything down is a japanese meme.
>>332971049
Then i have no idea what the fuck you did. My first time playing DQ8 was about 55 hours in when i beat the Darksteel form. Had to level a lot more for the rest of it.
>>332970626
The "its 20 hours and worst than zestiria" importer is a tales fag who doesn't know Japanese. The rest of it is kneejerk reactions and retarded on /v/.
>>332971164
THIS ISN'T MY FINAL FORM
>>332965786
>You can have SIX characters on the screen at one time
>Six people in a party at one time
Jesus Christ, usually in my experience most RPG's only allow 3 or 4 people in a "party"
Reminder that this is Talesfag propaganda.
>>332971362
This. Why even bother importing a JRPG in Japanese if you dont speak the language. You will be missing out on quite a lot of content. Furthermore, it is likely he hasnt used the battle system to its full potential.
So shitposters aren't going to let us have SO5 threads now?
>>332965786
Is there a post-game post-game dungeon? In SO4 there was an "infinite" dungeon after you beat the Seven Star Cave
>>332972462
>20
>HOURS
yes
>>332972585
I think someone said there's only one post game dungeon this time around.
>>332965546
About 400 or so, yeah.
>>332969597
Some guy on gamefaqs who can't read moon skipped all cutscenes and finished it in 20 hours without reading anything.
>>332972752
You can't skip cutscenes
>>332964259
>eww fuck, he's a goddamn millennial
>>332964002
Can you fuq the witch?
>>332972872
You can actually skip some. Just not the interactive scenes.
>>332972752
You apparently can't skip cutscenes. This is the one thing that's really hurting me because I wanted to speedrun the game.
>>332972324
He used the arcing slash you start with for the whole game.
Can tales fujos go away?
Get out with your shota and dlcs.
>>332972948
>he replied
Dumb drakeposter
>>332972585
Person I watched play went through the post game dungeon, beat Gabriel and Ethereal Queen and then stopped streaming so I assumed that was it for post game.
I'm the idiot in every Star Ocean thread bitching about how there is no new content in this game that wasn't in the previous two games.
>>332972585
Random ones spawn around the world that are semi-infinite.
>>332973179
Like I said before, why import a JRPG you dont understand. The dude thinks he understood the game in and out, yet his arguments are without merit.
>>332964002
So is the imported japanese version also dual audio?
>>332965546
That was endlessly grinding battles though had nothing to do with the content of the game. Did take me about 60 hours to beat on my first play through though.
>>332973086
What's the ratio of normal cutscenes to interactive ones?
>>332971962
I honestly thought I saw 7 in a screenshot before. I could be wrong about that.
>>332964259
Let me guess: You were born in 1995 or later and your first system was an XBro 360.
>>332973721
7 altogether, 6 playable. Relia isn't playable.
>>332973632
There are more interactive than normal. The interactive scenes don't last too long though.
>>332965540
Maybe because the typical Star Ocean has a 40+ hour story, and 100+ hours of bonus shit to do?
>>332965161
I'm slow and steady about my RPG playthroughs , So I expect to at least be at 50 hours before I finish.
>>332965996
Is that true? No planet travelling like SO4?
>>332969424
Notice this is why Tri Ace has the west more in mind than ever? You just can't win with Otaku.
>>332974248
That is(Sadly) true.
>>332970626
I cant stand Tales, so I highly doubt it's worse.
The guy never posted proof so I wouldn't take any merit
>>332974332
>You just can't win with Otaku
Has probably nothing to do with them censoring the JP version aswell.
Roak is the only good SO planet

>>332973387
I hate how /v/ will take in any information as if real if they find it agreeable to their narrative.
Like that whole PS4.5 rumor that blew up for no reason.
>>332974682
>rumor
>>332974332
Don't defend what Tri-Ace has done with this game. Otaku at the very least are dedicated, though I won't deny the panty thing being stupid.
Tri-Ace put little effort into making this game fresh, instead opting to just bring back all the things that people liked from Star Ocean 3 without any lasting content to keep players interested. There is absolutely nothing in this game that wasn't copy and pasted from the previous two games.

>>332969767
yikes , preorder cancelled
>>332975365
I love this falseflag
>>332975312
Like a mix of SO3 and 4. If you liked those and want more of it you should love this game. And the reserve bonus is way better this time around.
>>332975365
Guy on stream is at 60hrs post dungeon without turning off the ps4 to sleep. He showed us his 95% completion ratio in menu.
>>332975936
He's already beaten Ethereal Queen twice and is going for 6 wings right now, and is also saying that the main story only took around 20 hours
>>332969424
>Jap Amazon
>after the censoring thing
Surprised it's not a half star really.
you can rush the witcher 3 in 20-25 hours , but with the seconday shit is like 60+
this shit is the same
>>332976397
The difference being that the previous Star Ocean games had hundreds of hours of shit to do, this one only has 60.
>>332976553
>Hundreds
Nigga, when I replayed SO2 awhile back I got to 255 on all my characters, their best weapons and armor and beat the optional dungeon + unlimited Indalecio in under 40 hours.
SIDE KICK
>>332976765
I was more referring to the previous two games, not many games from the Star Ocean 2 era lasted that long.
>>332975936
What dose this mean exactly, the game is 60 hours with the post dungeon included or that it took like 40 hours to complete or what? I don't get it ;_;
>>332977060
He's going for 6 wing ethereal queen right now. His clock is at 61hrs. He has done most Item creation recipes, all side content and story. His completion ratio is at 95% according to the menu. Saying it's 61hrs long to complete is wrong since he left his ps4 on during sleeping.
>>332977547
About to fight her now.
>>332967902
Star Ocean 2 was like 200 hours
>>332964189
They censored her shitting while standing up?
>>332978308
yeah right I'm sure the main story was 200 hours
From what I've seen looks like I'm not getting this for full price day 1, will wait till its £20.
Too think i will be able to finish this and FFXV together under 100 hours, jap games really dying.
>>332976553
>counting battle trophies
Nigga go autism somewhere else.
>>332978308
Star Ocean 2 is sub 40 hours to 100%. This includes dicking around and PAs out the ass.
Suprised nips don't even like the characters since I'd of thought they'd love their shitty waifu's.
>>332979012
Wasn't talking about battle trophies. SO3 had a lengthy main story, item creation economy, Gemity, Urssa Lava Temple, Maze of Tribulations, Sphere 211, and Freya. Thats a lot of shit.
SO5 has a short main story, and post game only has one bland dungeon with Gabriel and Ethereal Queen, copied straight out of SO4 from what I see.
>>332979253
Nips don't like anything other than nep neps and ateliers now. Think about that for a moment.
>>332979370
you aren't going to spend hundreds of hours just doing post game in 3 and 4. You arent even going to break 100 unless you're doing battle trophies and multiple playthroughs.
>>332975065
Literally can't see shit when he does that wing explosion attack. Game looks like a clusterfuck
>>332979396
Don't do this to me. A Star Ocean with under 40 hours for non-postgame playthrough is not a fucking Star Ocean, don't shit on my dreams anymore like this, please, this is the last game I was looking forward to before I kill myself.
>>332980023
Star Ocean is dead family
>There are faggots in this thread that think a 20 hour JRPG is too long
Have you guys ever played a fucking RPG?
Hell, TW3 is at least 75 hours unless you rush through it like some faggot at 35.
>>332980023
>A Star Ocean with under 40 hours for non-postgame playthrough is not a fucking Star Ocean
Sounds like what you guys are saying is that this shit is less grindy then the older ones.
>>332980023
The first fucking game in the series isn't even 40 hours, you doof.
>>332980167I didn't like SO1 or 2, even 4 was better than them and 3 is the peak of the series, get over it nostalgiafags
>>332966309
please impale yourself on a stake
>Only two planets
>2nd planet is just the final dungeon
>>332980393
>and 3 is the peak of the series
So 3 was your first game, got it.
>>332980519
Just like 1
>>332980519
That's exactly how SO1 was.
>>332979450
They like Dark souls 3 which released recently.
This invalidates your statement.
Star ocean is just a mediocre JRPG face it.
>all this TECHNOLOGY
>but the game is shit
Just like in mywestern AAA industry.
>>332980619
Technically no, but it was the first SO I played through. I had to drop SO1 when I first played it because it was garbage, I managed to replay it and 2 many years later on an emulator when I was starved for even a mediocre game to play because we have nothing even mediocre being released in recent years, at least not enough for me to continuously play without needing to fill in with older games.
>>332964002
>Games get shorter if you rush through them without doing any side-content.
Who would have though.
>>332969424
DO NOT CONSORT WITH FOREIGNERS
>>332980676
Dark Souls 3 is damn good so they better fucking like it.
>>332964002
Its censored too.
Stop this garbage and give me a spiritual successor/sequel to EoE already. It was fucking great.
>>332964002
>20 hours long
This wouldn't be a bad thing to me if it means they cut out the grindan and other bullshit filler for core game play and story.
>>332981242
>tfw want to like EoE/RoF but I am legitimately too dumb to understand the combat system
>>332981242
EoE?
>>332964002
how is your japanese level, my listening skills are off the top but reading is still a chore so I'd probably spend more time on non-voiced sections
this game is almost fully voiced though so I can't say for sure. Keep in mind the 20 hours playthrough was done by someone who just skipped everything because they couldn't understand a word
Can someone please tell me why people recommend the PSX version of SO2 over the PSP version? And, following that logic, should I go play the original SO1 for SNES or the PSP remake?
>>332981478
End of Eternity / Resonance of Fate
>>332964002
The only important question is if there is continued gameplay after the main story. I'm assuming this 20 hour bullshit is just for the main questline.. and then after that you're free to fuck around, no?
Can you use more than 2 skills in SO5 for ranges? That really bothered me in SO3
Well this is discouraging. I planned to make SO5 my first star ocean game.
>>332981593
As long as it isn't the dub, I doubt it matters. God damn the dub for 2 in particular was fucking cringe.
>Star ocean is better than the tales series
Kek both garbage.
Looks like either P5, FFXV or Ys 8 will save the year.
>>332981593
PSP version added the 3 hit combo they added to the SO1 psp remake. But they didnt change anything else about the game to accommodate it existing so it further trivializes the difficulty in an already easy game.
Some skills don't work the same, like Gale no longer increases your battle run speed. It just makes you teleport at the start of combat sometimes.
It got a new dub which tries to be acted well but isn't. The PS1 dub is hilarious. The new art is also pretty bad.
Item creation isn't as good. it functions more or less the same but now the screen just flashes and you get a success or a fail. On PS1 you'd see your material morph between a success or a fail result which could be used to preview what you can potentially make even when you can't succeed.
>>332981835
Only play 2.
Rest are plain garbage
>>332981835
It's good for beginners to the series so you're fine
>>332981826
SO4 increased it to 4 skill slots and I heard 5 has 5?
>>332981860
I actually have a soft spot for terrible dubs.
Gives me something to enjoy, and it somehow never manages to distract me from what are supposed to be touching moments.
>>332973285
>that are semi-infinite.
>Semi-infinite.
Literally and physically no such thing. Either its finite or its infinite.
I'm not even being pedantic, that is literally as opposite as light and dark, is it infinite or not?
>>332981835
It's more a let down for people that have played the previous games, would be a good intro for new players.
>>332982249
The dungeons end.
There are endless dungeons.
Semi-infinite.
>>332982410
That's not semi-infinite you dolt, did you go to school in America?

>>332981363
Go to arena, do the 16 tutorials. Then just play and you'll get used to it. It's always like that. I'm not too smart either but managed to clear the game + Arena + Neverland just fine, though struggled at first.
Do arena a lot. Grind it, clear it.Put some music on to not fall asleep.But before you get too much into it, go to lv6 and connect x2 exp and x2 other effects terminals to arena ASAP. Then get at least 3 EXP boosts and grind.
By the way, don't worry much about terminals. They're barely useful aside from upgrading the arena.
Do every quest. Powerlevel unused weapons. Use tri-attacks on the tar boss, then forget about them. They're shit. Don't spam herorun too much early on, attacking normally is often more efficient and safe.
Customize the shit out of your weapons somewhere around chapter 15 (16 is the last one). Google materials you need. Pro tip: put side-extension long scopes on top of elite long scopes. Stack and optimize the guns trying to reach perfection. Charge acceleration is important, should be around 40% on MG and 50% on HG unless you just want to fill everything with barrels. That's also viable.
>>332981897
>P5, FFXVKek both garbage.
>>332965364
Even rushing through, that's an idication that it's probably between 25-30 hours. Which isn't that bad, but is a bit disappointing for a JRPG.
>>332983128
Skipping all text and cutscenes in 3 or 4 would have constituted at least 20 hours of time.
>>332982721
Where do you people keep hearing this shit? Jesus christ.
>>332982591
>muh waifu
This is why the JRPG industry is dead.
Can we a confirmation on the one planet situation?
Is there really only one planet and if so are the pics in the thread showing footage of the space ship just there for reporting missions for story purposes?
>>332983260
Nigger there is no fucking way there are 20 goddamn hours of cutscenes. Maybe 5 hours, maximum.
The main thing I'm interested in is the final difficulty level, and the elevens are generally too casual to ever reach that if 3 or especially 4 are any indication; at least 3 had Maria so as soon as you got her you had a 1 way ticket to destroying everything past postgame, 4 had some slightly broken characters but Maria was leagues past any of them. Because I'll be playing 3 times through with each play getting progressively harder, I still can get at least 100 hours out of it even if it is 20 hours on easy, which I sincerely doubt to begin with. Past that, there's also the trophy grindan to unlock extra voices/skillpoints, which is another few thousand hours.
>>332983523
jrpgs had waifus since the 80s you gay.
>>332983624
Yes, 5 hours sounds about right, but that's not all I said, I said cutscenes AND text. Cutscenes are not where the majority of the story is. If they are skipping all of the voiced cutscenes and side character quests they could easily skip 20+.
>>332974332
>Notice this is why Tri Ace has the west more in mind than ever?
If that was true, then they would have made another SO4.
>>332983770
>Past that, there's also the trophy grindan to unlock extra voices/skillpoints, which is another few thousand hours.
No there isnt.
Ok
Ok
Guys
What about the post game dungeon?
SO3 was so fucking long I didn't even bother finishing that 255 level sphere company dungeon.
>>332984438
Read the thread, the entire main game and post game can be completed in under 50 hours. Just watched a stream of somebody defeat 6 wing ethereal queen with 60 hours altogether, and he said he once fell asleep with the game on so figure in that idling time.
![latest[2].png](https://i.imgur.com/4WC8Hzg.png "latest[2].png")
>>332983523
indeed
>>332984812
so is there literally LESS to do, or did it just eliminate the mandatory grind between final boss and post game?
>>332985043
Both, there's next to nothing to do, most dungeons are linear from A to B, no real rewards for exploring, no puzzles of any sort to mix things up, all "streamlined" to remove pretty all mainstays of rpgs. Item creation is as it was in SO4 but you can do it anywhere at anytime.
My biggest issue with the game is that everything, all the enemies, and all the skills you learn, are recycled from the previous two games, literally everything, even the fights with Gabriel and Ethereal Queen are ripped right out of SO4.

You won't get an accurate answer from here for a long time. All you're gonna get is niggas who watched streams or are recycling posts from gamefaqs.

Truly a work of art. I think I'll just play both versions.
Ass Ocean 5
>>332986315
One of Welch's quest.
>>332986315
cannot compare
>>332986458
Holy fuck she's even cuter in this one than before, I didn't know that was possible.
>>332986315
>>332986532
>I didn't know that was possible
You better not be talking about SO4 Welch...
>>332986458
One of the plot reasons why they stuck with one planet.
>>332964002
Why would you want a game that wastes your time?
>>332981478
End of Evangelion. Star Ocean takes place in the Evangelion universe after fourth impact.
>All these entitled fucks who don't realize JRPGs have no budget now and anything at SO5's level of visual fidelity either has to be a huge IP like FF or somewhat short
>>332986512
I don't get turned on by Reimi's shorts that look like they're made out of car rubber.
>people trying to defend how short it is
Added fluff from reading like a fifth grader and doing extra fetch quests because they're in there doesn't magically make the game longer in a better way.
>>332987112
This is why the push for graphics to keep constantly enhancing fucking sucks. Most of the budget goes into making everything look pretty and now you can't have JRPGs with as grand of scopes as they used to be.
It's why the FF7 remake is doomed to mediocrity before it even comes out.
So how is the romance element? Do you hold hands, or maybe kiss? If you go for Fiore, does any fialogue change between you to reflect your relationship?
Is the ending affected by your choice?
FFXIII-2 was also 20 hourslong, doesn't matter if there are lot of sidequests to make it 50+.
>>332987112
>>332987284
This isn't really valid, visually the game doesnt look much different than SO4.
Is there a difficulty setting in the game?
>>332964002
Isn't the Star Ocean series meant to be a game that's played multiple times anyway?
I only ever played the first two games, but I remember replaying them over and over because you can't meet certain party members if you already have certain other ones, and you can have various different endings between them.
>>332987407
Yeah and sucked too.
Thats a bad example
>>332969893
>not listing the Disgaea games
>>332987475
Have you seen the game on PS4? It looks fucking gorgeous. SO4 sure as hell didn't look this good.
>>332987637
If there were different options that could be explored then yeah, but the only difference in this game will be who's ending you get. There are only 6 playable characters available and you get them all no matter what. They don't make them like they used to, you don't get to have options.
When I was calling Infinite Undiscocean (see archives) that is what I meant.
The simplified character interaction, the seamless transition to battles, devs comparing the battle system to it, a gorillion characters on the battlefield, IU was used as a testing ground for things they would've eventually tried on a proper big ass triAce game.
The problem is, nobody told them "you can beat the game over a weekend" (you can beat IU in less than 15 hours unless you suffer from acute down syndrome) isn't a feature.
>>332987637
With the exception of SO2: no.
>>332987797
I'm positive if we could get a PC version of vanilla SO4 it would look exactly like that. SO4 was ruined from running at 13 different resolutions for areas, dungeons, battles and effects. Battles were like crt-tier.
>>332987764
Nigger do you know how to read? Main story, not mindless grinding.
>>332964002
Whats the file size
Maria is the best!
>>332987797
SO4 was developed early on for Xbox 360. It looked great, from a mechanical standpoint, for its time. That was 7 years ago. The way SO5 looks is par for the course considering it was made for PS4.
>>332987627
The usual Galaxy/Universe/Chaos modes yes.
>>332987959
>I'm positive if we could get a PC version of vanilla SO4 it would look exactly like that.
Doubtful. Japanese don't tend to capture high res textures ahead of their time since above spec for a PC version is not in their mind.
>>332987797
>recently released game that was designed for newer technology looks better than its predecessor
In other news, water is wet.
>>332988068
>for ps4
lead platform was ps3 and ps4 was a port
>>332987959
>The problem is, nobody told them "you can beat the game over a weekend" (you can beat IU in less than 15 hours unless you suffer from acute down syndrome) isn't a feature.
You can beat literally every tri-Ace game over a weekend. the fuck are you on about
>>332988065
>>332988137
Yeah and that visual fidelity creep is part of what is killing vidya
>>332988068
>>332988137
He said it didn't look much different than SO4 and I posted a picture that shows he's wrong. Stop being retards.
>>332988139
Which is why the PS3 version is releasing a month later right? It's true they said that, but that story doesn't add up.
>>332988286
Not SO4. The funny thing is, all these people bitching about length only played SO4 since the earlier SOs are pretty short
>>332988139
>lead platform was ps3 and ps4 was a port
Top meme. Their goal was 60fps without drops on ps4 even if it meant sacrificing graphics. PS3 is 30fps
Anne!
>>332988129
Texturing in SO4 is non plus ultra "uncanny valley", think "Skyrim Ultra HD pack with loli uguu porcelain character" kind of shit. It looks overdetailed for being weebshit.
Imagine this thing blown up by Gedosato. It wouldn't be as detailed as SO5 but a gen behind? I don't think so.
>>332988286
Not SO3 unless you're the lord jesus christ.
>>332966840
>Persona 5
Haven't seen a single shitposting thread for that one.
>>332988390
You have to remember that SO4 also had things like a literal 40 minute long cutscene.
>>332988325
Do you have any idea what hardware limitations are?
>>332988373
It got delayed for general bug fixing and shit probably because it's on the ps3 it doesnt change the fact that the ps4 version was a port
>>332988429
>meme
hi leddit why dont you learn to google
>>332988490
If I didn't know SO4 was shit I'd like that
>>332988290
Nel is third best. Still gr8.
I beat the first SO on PSP under 10 hours, did it even have a postgame? Never noticed.
>>332988390
>Not SO4
I played SO4 when I was full NEET, beat the main story in about 2 days. That was on the 360 version so I had disc swapping to go between worlds too.
>>332988442
3's story is shorter than 4's. It's also easier to break open early than 4 is. I killed Luther in like 5 seconds.
>>332988509
Why are you trying to one up me? I'm not saying anything bad about SO4's graphics or trying to start a competition, just countering what that anon said. You've been on /v/ way too long, friend. Lower your aggression.
She doesn't mind.
>>332988715
Show potato
>>332988641
How could you tolerate SO4 in that big a dose? You should've been driven mad
>>332988641
>It's also easier to break open early than 4 is.
Ring of Disintegration is one hell of a drug.
>>332988875
>>332988098
Nice.
>>332988875
Take off every Potato, for great justice!
>>332969893
I beat Persona 4 in 38 hours actually the first time I ever played it. It is significantly shorter than 3.
Very few JRPGs are genuinely longer than 20 hours if you don't touch any optional content.
>>332987325
Anyone?
