Seems legit

Sounds pretty Persona 5 to me.

Played the demo, can confirm it's peak anime.
Scarlet Nexus has THE MOST anime-ass anime story that ever anime'd, basically. It's too much anime.

Why do they always hide their fun gameplay upgrades behind the bullshit gameplay of the game?

IF what Tycho says is NOT true, THEN Tycho is trolling at epic proportions...

The exact set of texts I sent to my sister this morning regarding this game:

"Anime as 'F' - check"
"Light hearted high school antics juxtaposed with relentless war and death - check"
"J-Rock theme sung in all Japanese except for that one English phrase to cap of the song - check"
"And that phrase is Engrish as all get out (Dream in Drive) - you absolutely bet"

This game certainly knows what it is, and I'm cool with that. My issue is the vignettes are way more drawn out and dull than the skits in Tales of...and are not as involved as the ones in Persona (haven't seen any choices yet). Here's hoping a sequel sees some refinement.

Yeah my first thought was Persona. God those games are incredible. Atlus why don't have I have Persona 6 right now?

I mean, they made Persona 5 Royal, which added a third semester and a handful of new characters (and vastly improved the gameplay), and then Persona 5 Strikers which continues the story of Joker and co. And now they're about to release SMT 5, which is in the same shared universe.

It was alright. Not an amazing game or anything and left a lot of plot threads hanging. Totally forgot to mention the crappy science fiction stuff like timey whimey nonsense and psychic powers.
