Persona 5.

4 reasons Persona 5 looks even better than Persona 4

After more than eight years of waiting, Persona 5 better be good, right? Well, don’t worry. It is.

Persona 5 comes out on April 4 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. It’s one of the most anticipated Japanese RPGs (which usually feature things like random battles and turn-based combat, as opposed to western RPGs) in a long time. Persona 3 and Persona 4 for the PlayStation 2 attracted fans for the way it mixed dungeon-crawling and turn-based battles with day-to-day planning of being a teenager living in Japan. They are now some of the most cherished Japanese RPGs in history.
