Metaphor was not that good. The characters were weaker than Persona entries, the combat system was not as fun as Persona or SMT, the social links (yes, they are social links stop denying that) weren't as well written and also meant less since they automatically advanced, the pacing was awful, and the inclusion of 'real time's combat just didn't work.

You all fell for the hype and I seriously hope this is not the direction that Persona takes.

In oblivion the emperor says the gods put you there for a reason. Everyone you interact with addresses you as the hero of Kvatch. Martin may be the one who sacrifices himself to fight Dagon but everyone step along the way people are acknowledging it is all because of you.

Considering that P3R and P4R (as far as it seems) is based entirely off the system and style of Persona 5 because most ADD brains now can't handle playing slightly older games, P5R doesn't need a remake. It would be literally just a re release

I've said it a million times. Martin has no interest in finishing GoT. He made his millions and saw how badly the show ending went over. In order to protect his "legacy" he will die before finishing the story in hopes that everyone will say "What a shame, he died before he could finish his life's work".

Mouthwashing is not great. Its okay at best. The entire game is "go to room, talk to person, be told to grab something from very specific area, go to area, grab item, walk back to room, talk, time jump, repeat"

The story really isn't even that good. It's reddit level slop that people loved because Asmongold talked about it once.

You don't need your hand held in Layers of Fear. It is literally "enter room with one exit, look at painting, listen to audio clips, turn around, OH NO THE ROOM CHANGED!, leave room via clear exit, repeat"

Expedition 33 did it in 3 days.

Check steamdb and you can see the peak player count of South of Midnight didn't even pass 1500.

The game was a flop.

The bare bones real time element to Metaphor added absolutely nothing to the game. I don't play JRPGs for real time combat and I don't play Atlus games for real time combat.

The recipe works, leave it alone. Metaphor was not that great.

No one who actually played more than one version of P3 thinks that not having the female MC is a problem.

P3P was the WORST version of the game. Due to PSP limitations the game cut the anime cut scenes and replaced them with static art shots. The female MC doesn't even change the story in any meaningful way. It makes Junpei a social link when his story arch is tied into the main story and already worthy of notice without relying on having a separate social link story.
