Why do people pit these two game against each other? They have nothing in common save for the fact that they are both JRPGs.
>>338027773
Nig nog, its just the XVfag sprouting the discussion on the threads, other than that, if the thread itself starts with the comparisson, its either him or a shitposter.
Come on now, you already know this, why are you asking.
>>338027915
That post is too meta for me.
It's fun to argue and talk about video games, and they're the two biggest jrpg series in the west. Reason enough to compare and contrast.
>>338027773
they're also both shit
Im not really sure
FFXV has gotten a lot of exposure and is being heavily marketed to normies while Persona 5 remains the domain of nerds
That might be it
Or maybe it has to do with the fact that one is multiplat while the other is exclusive to playstation consoles
>>338028030
Yeah, but they don't even play similarly, have the same themes, Or even have similar structure. The only thing binding them is the fact that they're RPGs from nip-land. It's not like a Sonic v. Mario situation where the games had a decent amount of similarities.
>>338027773
Why not buy both? Problem solved.
>>338028504
they have the same amount of similarities as sonic and mario
>>338028030
>two biggest jrpg series in the west.
Tales, KH and FE are bigger than persona here.
>>338029216
>tales
>bigger then persona
Where? I know not in the US or Japan that is the case.
>>338029216
No way is Tales bigger than Persona. FE's about as big as Persona I'd say. If it is bigger, it's definitely not by much.
>>338029265
>>338029340
Tales on average sells more and is a much bigger franchise you dumb retards.
>>338027773
Because people here want to feel superior without actually making any effort. In this case by preferring one game and shitting on anyone who prefers another
>>338029585
Tell me how main tales games sold more than persona spinoffs
>>338027773
I dunno. The threads are hilarious though, so I don't mind. I'm buying and will (most likely) enjoy both.
>>338028654
t. fucking autist
>>338029216
No one gives a fuck about tales of
Its the shittiest surviving franchise of the ps1 era
It does have a vocal community tho,im never gonna get the appeal of tales of, its plot is as shonen as it gets, its characters tropey as fuck and the world is generally uninspired
>>338027773
>Why do people pit these two game against each other? They have nothing in common save for the thing that they are being the same thing
>>338029785
Nigga none of the main persona games even sold more than friking Xillia.
>>338030412
>sells more
>still manages to be less relevant in the jrpg community
What went wrong with tales of?
>>338027773
>September
>2 games LONG in the making
>Atlus posted a poll last year asking if fans would purchase the game if it came out the same time as FFXV
three reasons fammeroni
>>338029998
>its plot is as shonen as it gets, its characters tropey
This applies both P3 and 4 you retarded fan.
Have you fucking seen P5's hacker NEET?
Seriously both series are garbage but atleast tales fans don't delude themselves.
>>338029998
The appeal is the fucking combat of course.
>playing Tales for the story
Is LITERALLY a meme in the Tales community. We all acknowledge that the plot and world and characters are garbage, but we love the series anyway because of the sick flashy combos.
>>338027773
Persona fanboys are insecure about their little game so the only way get it some attention is by forcing this meme.
>>338030615
>Atlus posted a poll
Square enix*
>>338030646
>playing games for the sick combos
It isn't a fighting game. I never understood how Tales of fans can be so retarded.
>>338027773
XV is actually kind of important just because of how big it is.
Persona 5 is because sonyggers have nothing else to talk about and most interesting topic they can squeeze is Persona 5 delays, seriously, fuck Atlus.
>>338030646
You mean the combat that is already common in jrpgs and is being outdone by even final fantasy?
Tales of got nothing
>>338030615
>thinks outside influence determines how alike two games are
(You)
>>338029998
>its plot is as shonen as it gets, its characters tropey as fuck and the world is generally uninspired
>Peronafags literally describing their own series
>>338030646
Too bad this isnt 2006 anymore and tales of combat is no longer anything special
>>338031028
Xillia 2 has the best combat but keep shitposting fag.
Not even shitposting but the only reason people even play persona is for dating sim and waifu wars. Don't know why people compare that shit to an actual game like FFXV.
>>338029998
Abyss has a pretty fantastic story
>>338030880
As far as depth in combos goes, Vesperia PS3 is unparalleled.
>>338029998
You are an idiot, the numbers speak otherwise about the popularity of Tales overseas.
It happens it has a huge event dedicated to it each year, among cafes and other things.
Still not as popular as Persona, though.
>>338029998
You only have to pick Star Ocean 5 or any of the FFXV demos to realize that Tales is eons ahead of any possible competition in regards to combat, even the "bad" games.
I wish the wasn't the case and there were more ARPG with depth to their combat, but alas.
>>338031259
The only reason people even play FFXV is because Square made one single mediocre game almost twenty years ago.
Don't know why people compare that shit tofuck Persona also.
they are both:
two of the last standing rpg series in japan
made by japanese people
been in development for several years
being released around the same time
follow-ups to the worst entry in respective series
massively overhyped
homo af
have titles ending with '5'
>>338031259
FFXV stopped being an actual game years ago.
>>338027773
>They have nothing in common
They're weebshit
>>338032891
>P4
>Worst entrygood taste
I like SMT
>>338027773
It's purely PCuck only users who are salty don't fall for it.
>>338032404
Yeah, I (sadly) imported SO5 and playing through it made me realize just how far behind Tales it is.
Tales has been getting worse since Vesperia, but it still blows the fuck out of its "competitors".
>>338033005
Huh every ffxv thread is about the game but every persona thread the past week has just been best waifu they dont even talk about the game
>>338031314
this pic is a fucking mess
>>338033202
SMT is like that kid that kid that dresses like a death metal fan but is actually a bro with pretty normal tastes once you talk with him
Persona is that childhood friend who hooks you up with girls that will never call you back, but you keep falling for his talk over and over again, he is popular with the girls but never manages to conquer his crush because he lacks the moves,has been attending theatrical classes so he can express himself better
Final fantasy is the oldest kid in the classroom who was once top of the class, but since his fathers divorced he is having identity crisis, but he gets big cash from his dad, lately he been visiting a psychologist.
Tales of is like that pothead that will talk barely understandable shit and also stinks but makes crazy maneuvers on top of a skateboard
>>338027773
They both have awful fanbases full of autism.
>>338029998
>hurr dis jrpg bad because shonen plot
>but not persona, it's super mature with its harem shit, robot waifus, power of friendship saving the world,etc
Holy shit you Persona faggots are pathetic.
Every single Persona game has awful gameplay.
Most Tales games have decent to great gameplay. There are a couple stinkers, but even those are never worse than Persona's gameplay.
Plus you actually get to go places that aren't a school or inside a boring building in Tales games.
>>338027915
Come the fuck on. There always a Persona guy coming out of nowhere and yelling how much XV will be shit
>Bro just look at the menus ! They're so superior in Persona 5
>>338033005
FF XV STARTED being an actual game years ago (2012)
GTFO Versus XIII fag, it was 25% completed Nomushit trash
>>338033782
Star Ocean is that kid who no one remembers about after class is over, he tries to change and improve his looks but his face is just too unremarkable
Dragon quest is the kid that all asian kids follow and he throws mad parties for the japanese kids, you hear he is a pretty nice guy, but you wouldnt know, he dont speak english
And fire emblem is the kid that used to be pretty normal,but then began to watch anime and became an otaku, now he runs in the courtyard with his arms lifted towards his back
>>338033836
That is every videogame.
>>338033782
>>338034398
Surprisingly accurate analogies. I'll try.
Pokemon is that popular kid who was so popular, unpopular kids started to act like him but themselves look even worse in the process.
>>338027773
Because they haven't realized that SaGa and Etrian Odyssey are the superior series from these companies.
>>338035237
how obscure and refined your taste are!
>>338029998
SNES era, anon.
And yes, it is shit, but it has its fanbase. They're generally disconnected from the core and overlap with fans of stuff like SAO, but they exist.
>>338030646
>Bothering with this when even games like NieR have combat on this level.
>>338027773
People need something to shitpost about.
>>338036776
>>338033005
No it only started being a game a few years ago and everytime we've seen it we've seen more game.
>>338027773
sonyggers are so obnoxious with their Persona shilling. imagine if Nintendrones would shill SMT like that
baka
>>338036776
-5/10. See me after class.
