Persona 5 is a role playing game that is about to be released for the Playstation 3 and Playstation 4. It is considered the fifth installment to the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona video game series. According to sources online, the new game is expected to be released some time this year in Japan and in North America. Just this month, fans all over the world that have been ready to play the new game, logged onto the internet to check out the trailer.
The Persona 5 trailer was posted online in various places, including Twitch and Nico Nico Douga, so there is a very good chance that thousands of fans got a good look at it at that time. For those of you that are not familiar, Persona 5 is going to give new meaning to the concept of “another self”. In the game, players can summon mythical creatures that they think are a representation of themselves.
Using what was summoned, players are then able to fight the main enemies in the game, which is based on Jungian and Freudian psychology. The story lines for the game make it very obvious of this psychology and that is what keeps the players coming back for more. The first two games in the video game series appeared back in the 1990’s and that is when the huge following really gained traction and continued to grow to what it is today.
The third and fourth installments to the series were reviewed as almost completely different games from the first two, but that did not deter any of the loyal fans from buying them and playing them like the first two. The game can be summarized as one that is similar to a role-playing, turn based game with a Pokemon style combat. It will be quickly realized that other differences include going to high school, making friends and even going on dates. Back in September of last year, the first trailer was released and that is when the buzz started to get loud.
The main verdict about the new game is that it will be a great addition to the series and one that many fans have waited almost 7 years to play. Just like any other highly anticipated video game release, the trailer for Persona 5 did not disappoint. It painted a very stylish version of the game and has already more than 2 million views on YouTube. The game is expected to be a top title with some of the best reviews of the video game series.
