    I've just started playing SMT 5 and now I'm on the fence about whether I want to keep going with it or start this. Dang, it feels like a bunch of JRPGs are dropping this year one after the other.

    Awesome review! You must have been excited when they sent you that review code! My copy is delayed until August 31st it says on Amazon Canada but that's not surprising as it's not the 1st time that it happens... in the mean time I'll go watch your 2nd video on it with tips and tricks so I'll be ready to play once I receive it!

    Thanks for the great review! I've been hearing some very mixed things about the game, but it sounds like something I might enjoy so I'll have to pick it up at some point (maybe when the wallet isn't hurting so bad though lol). Also I really like the character designs! Ringo in particular looks amazing

    Ringo is absolutely an iconic design. (Not to mention a welcome change of pace for SMT protagonists.)
    I would have loved this game to have 10% more budget to vary the dungeon design a little bit and maybe have an animated opening movie to really show off the style, because I think Ringo has top-tier waifu potential alongside just embodying the whole neon cyberpunk aesthetic, and it could really have made a splash.
    Only an hour in so far and can already sense how addictive the demon-building is going to be. Thanks for the great review! Been looking forward to this one =)

    In answer to the question at the end yes and yes. I actually pre-ordered and paid it off but haven't been able to get to the store to pick my copy up yet, I plan to get it later today. I pre-ordered the original game on 3DS as well I believe. What's odd is a few weeks before Soul Hackers 2 was announced I was discussing games I would love but never expected to come out with my best friend and Soul Hackers 2 was on that list.

    The music SLAPS in this game for sure. Probably my favorite aspect of the game. I really wish it had the press-turn battle system. The Sabbath attacks are a bit underwhelming.

    I'll be honest I just stared XBC 3 so I don't need a new JRPG in my life but this video does make a good case for it, would you recommend SH2 or P5 if someone only has time for one?

    • @HallowedBeThyGame
      @HallowedBeThyGame  Год назад +1

      Incredible games all around! However, Persona 5 is one of my favorite games of all time so that's a very difficult one for me to not recommend if you could only choose one.

  • @javiermontiero4982
    @javiermontiero4982 Год назад +2

    HBTG, do you think this game was treated as a safe bet means of testing out certain things ahead of the next Persona game? Maybe garner a few more fans before the next Persona releases? It seems to me this game was just too neatly lined up to be a coincidence. I really wonder if this was them testing the waters a bit to better develop their flagship series' next installment.

    • @HallowedBeThyGame
      @HallowedBeThyGame  Год назад

      I do think there’s a lot of concepts and design choices here that we could see return in a persona 6 potentially. Very likely!
