I guess this means the long-rumored port of the most underwhelming modern-era Persona game is finally in the works.
Terrible trailer, too. No build-up or mystery. Not even any in-game footage, just "he's in Smash! Bye!" Cmon...Smash reveals are usually better than that.
The stage should be cool, though.
Just curious, what about Persona 5 made it underwhelming to you? It was the first I've played in the series, and i'm eyeing a copy of Persona 4 golden, but I don't have the perspective of playing other titles to know better.
Also, the teaser was just perfect for me, if just because I liked the game a whole bunch and knowing they were going to include him in smash was all I needed to know for a shocking/surprising announcement. Voice acting was a little too far on the annoying though.
The voice acting is accurate that that of Persona 5, so it didn't bother me.
As for P5, I just had a lot of problems with its pacing, or lack thereof. The game had a lot of quality of life improvements over 4, and it's CERTAINLY not a bad game. It just felt like warmed-over Persona 4 with a mixture of the character types from 3 and 4, topped off with a side order of tedious framing device. I'd seen all these characters before, and they were done better then.
The dungeons are also insufferably long in P5, whereas they were randomly generated but relatively short in P4.
There's also this sense of dread in P3 and energy in P4 that's just lacking from P5. P5 feels like they finalized the game's visual style & then copy-pasted characters from their previous games in, and that really seems to be the general reception to the game: it's good, but not the monumental leap we expected after a decade of waiting from P4.
