“Persona 5” is likely coming out before the end of 2015, according to a financial report by SEGA, and the game is highly anticipated by fans of the franchise, expected to bring about various changes that will push the series forward and help it truly realize its potential. “Persona” is already a very popular RPG franchise, but it looks like SEGA will be trying to earn even more fans with this game. “Persona” hasn’t really had any issues entering the mainstream before, but it could always be helpful to put a little more effort into making it accepted by everyone.
The game is going to much more prominently feature randomly generated elements, such as entire dungeons, in an attempt to increase its longevity and replay value, while also making each run more interesting. However, some players seem to be afraid that this could backfire – according to them, the franchise has been successful in large part thanks to its finely crafted environments and details, and changing that with some computer-generated content could be a bad move for the title.
The story of the new installment is written in a more personal, intimate way, according to the game’s producers, and they’re aiming to more closely replicate the normal everyday life of a regular person caught up in a dramatic series of events. What exactly this could mean, we don’t know – it’s open to plenty of interpretations, that’s for sure, but the game is likely not going to be designed in the same way as “Persona 4” as far as its story is concerned.
We will also see improvements in the graphics and sound of the new “Persona”, as technology has moved forward and the game’s developers are taking full advantage of that fact. It seems like the extra work that has been done in the graphics department is actually quite extensive, so we can expect lots of positive responses with regards to the game’s visual style once it comes out. In addition, the developers have hinted at party members becoming more “ill-behaved”, so this should also add to the immersion of the new installment.
One thing is clear right now – the developers of the game are well aware of all the attention they’ve got on their work right now, and they’re trying to do their best to live up to fan expectations with the final release. There’s a lot they can do to make this game the best in the franchise so far, and the most important part is to just listen to fan feedback, because there is a lot that fans have to say about the current state of the franchise.
