• Persona 5 or Final Fantasy XV?

    If these two games came out around the same time which one would you pick up first? This is the question that Square Enix is insinuating with their recent Japanese questionnaire. Persona 5 is scheduled to release during the summer of next year so Square Enix may in fact be planning a summer 2016 release for their upcoming game Final Fantasy XV. The possibility of them wanting to know what other JRPGs their fans are interested in is also another option. In addition to asking what purchase fans would prioritize, they also ask fans what they find most interesting about Persona 5.

    1. Because it’s a JRPG
    2. The world setting is interesting
    3.The characters are interesting
    4. I’m a fan of Atlus games
    5. I’m a fan of the Persona series
    6. The promotion caught my interest
    7. I heard about its popularity

    Could we see Final Fantasy XV next summer? Which game would you buy if they were to release at the same time?

      I'm more likely to get FFXV than Persona 5 but that's because I don't like the Persona games. Great to finally hear how magic works since that has been conspicuously absent from the demos.

      My priority is getting both at once because I desperately need both of those games inside me right now

      XV definitely. While I'm not mega pumped, I do want to try it and I have practically zero interest in Persona 5 tbh

      It'll definitely be Persona 5 for me. I love ff, but the series has gone through so many changes that I'm not willing to pay full price for them.
      I'll pick up 15 when it's close to $20

      Persona has maintained a consistently excellent quality and hits all the right places for me, so it'll be day one. If they announce a female protagonist I'll go pre order it even.

      Persona 5 for me, but largely because it's for PS3 and 4 so I actually have a console for it. XV, Type-0 and Ikenie to Yuki no Setsuna are about the only PS4 exclusives I'm interested in.

      Whoops didn't realize I posted this in General SE and not XV, but I don't think it's a big deal. Me? The release date doesn't mean much for me at the moment and as of today I haven't completed one Persona game so I'll likely get Final Fantasy XV first.

      Oh, the thread changed.

      Then my answer is Final Fantasy XV. Come next year it would have been a decade since Final Fantasy Versus XIII was announced and I've been a Final Fantasy Fan (check out that alliteration) since 1997. A decade ago I'd never even heard of Persona, and I only started playing it last year. I've still yet to complete it (P3P). I'll only get P5 once I've completed 3 and 4.

      FFXV. I've never played a Persona game and other than some top notch bear puns I've heard about I'm not overly interested in them either.

      I concur!! If both were released at the same time, I would purchase both at the same time. I am sooooooo pumped for both >w<

      I have a feeling that if more people say the Persona series then SE will make FF 16 go down the Persona path. Epsically if the FF XV sales are poor compared to past Final Fantasies and the fanbase hates it.

      Don't care about XV and never played a Persona game so I'm pretty neutral.

      I find it extremely hard to believe FFXV will be out by summer but anything is possible I suppose.

      Oh and I have no interest in Persona, so FFXV for me.
