BY MOSHE SWEET: Believe it or not, Persona 5 is the first and only JRPG I have ever played. I never got into games like Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Suikoden, or Dragon Age. Before Persona 5, I honestly avoided the genre like the plague.
I remember renting Final Fantasy 7 from Blockbuster in ‘97 and thinking to myself, “why are we taking turns fighting” and “where’s the jump button?”
I was instantly overwhelmed by the whole style of gameplay, the plethora of menus and avalanche of items. At the time, I felt a major disconnect with the general style of gameplay and simply accepted that this is not a genre for me. I know, pretty blasphemous but it’s true.
So imagine my surprise when Persona 5 becomes one of my favorite games of all time.
