It's one of the best JRPG's in a few years. Especially in this style.
We haven't had a lot of excellent throw-back style JRPG's recently.
Wut
Persona is a thing that exists
Persona is not a throw-back style JRPG. Hell, half the game is a social networking game. I love Persona 5, don't get me wrong. But comparing these two is crazy.
Thats a dumb thing to say tho
Theyre both JRPGS marketed with a gimmick why not compare the two
Persona 5 is leaps and bounds better than Octopath
Persona 5 has entirely different battle systems, styles of story telling, and focus.
That would be like comparing Earthbound and Etrian Odyssey cause they're both JRPG's.
Wut they both have the same exploit the enemy weakness system
Persona 5 is more akin to Pokemon than it is to Octopath. And again, half of Persona 5 is a social life simulator. I don't really see that in Octopath. ---
