I've spent most of my life having a bit of an aversion to RPG's. With a few exceptions, namely Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses, they were never really my thing. Now, one could say I've very much caught the JRPG bug. I've already done a full stream LP of the Crimson Flower route in
Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and I've since started playing games such as Fire Emblem: Awakening, Final Fantasy VII, Valkyria Chronicles, and Xenoblade Chronicles in my spare time, and the list of several-dozen-hour JRPG's I want to try is ever expanding.
My next step on my latest addiction is a game I've been wanting to play for ages after hearing such massive acclaim about it:
Persona 5 Royal. I am completely unfamiliar with Persona, but the way this game oozes style at absolutely every opportunity really drew me in. Plus, the inclusion of P5's protagonist Joker in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which itself was packed with style and carefully crafted fanservice to the game, pushed my interest over the edge.
Other than a 2 hour play session I had to familiarize myself with the game's basic mechanic, I'm going into this casual stream let's play with no prior knowledge of the game or its plot. Luckily, I'm joined by
MugiwaraYoshi/Mugistraw, who considers Persona 5 one of his favorite games, as well as
Thornbrain who joined me through my Fire Emblem journey, and is only somewhat familiar with the game. I hope you'll join me as I experience this supposed masterpiece for the first time!
