I'll play it. The art just looks okay, though, and I dont have much faith in it.

Someone should make a thread about Persona 5.

i will wait until starved jrpg nerds have well and truly sampled this game

if they say 'it was good!' i will probably play it

if they say 'it .. was good! it takes a little while to get to where it's fun, and' the game is terrible

These seem like the most absurdly boring characters in existence. It just looks like four Disaffected Youths cooked up by 1. crappy studio market research about urban japanese kids' power fantasies and social ideation, and 2. half the identity insecurities of some overstuffed creative types on display, with a dash of uncanny hairvalley added to taste

Pretty much.

It's really sad just how so much of what made Final Fantasy memorable and good is irreversibly gone. I mean even taking the simple stuff like, "OK FFVII's futuristic world was a huge hit! But FFIX's nod back to the fantasy legacy was also very popular. Let's never do a fantasy based one ever again in the main series!

"We wanted to create a character for Final Fantasy XV that, when you are playing him, he represents this sort of a person you wish you could be," Hajime Tabata explained to me. "Like, you're young, you have a whole world in front of you, you are too cool for all the little problems."

Tabata started fidgeting with his pen. "Like, they're just, like, so cool, you know? It's like, you're playing him and it's like, it's, ... even his problems are cooler than your problems, and ... you just, you're way cool, doing all this stuff you were never allowed to do because dad was ..." at this point, Tabata words became muttered and unintelligible, though I was able to pick "girlfriend" and "even lets you touch her hair" out of it.

"So which character is it that you're talking about?" I asked, interrupting him. "Which one is this character?"

His gaze shifted to the floor. "Uh, the, the really good looking svelte one with the swept back hair, and dreamy eyes and the boyish handsomeness, and the ..., the dark, neomodern biker-inspired clothes, that, um ... "

"Which of those four?"

There was a visual style model poster for each of the four main characters on the wall behind him, so he turned around in order to point him out to me. "It's that one? Well, it's one of these, h .. hang on, ..."
After failing to differentiate them visually, he resorted to reading the measurements on the "suppleness of wrists" master style index, which had been the development team's quick go-to reference for when they had to be sure who they were rendering in a given cutscene.

While he was distracted with doing that, I leaned over the desk and saw a manuscript open to a page of the plot that Tabata was writing for the primary protagonist.

It read: "...hajimbo said 'i could use a bath' he said to no one in particular devil-may-care, that's how little he cared, he was so cool. answers to the listless angst which is their lives may come, out there, on the horizon, the horizon he dared not let it look like he cared about it, as they drove into the horizon. 'god, i have to pee' he added with a slight scoff and a cool smirk to let everyone know how above he was about caring about anything, especially this, but he did have to pee. when he did pee it would be with a really relaxed posture so you can see how disaffected and above it all he is, as he searched for his destiny which was coming to him and..."

At this point, Tabata saw me reading, snatching up and clutching the whole manuscript to his chest. He was stuttering out something about 'slash spoilers' for the alternate reality disc of the game.
