a lot of people misinterpret maid cafes as a sexual thing but I think it's more of the opposite they are supposed to represent a moment of purity in this gross ugly world. This is why it would never work in America.

So here's a question. What PC dungeon crawl games with Wizardry influences would you guys recommend? I should note that I'm pretty new to the Wizardry-like games.

1/5

I do love me some JRPGs, and so I’ve had my eyes on the Persona series for quite a while, ever since witnessing the cult-like devotion Persona 4 Golden on the Vita inspired in many GameFAQs users. Later on Persona 5 would release to rave reviews and sales so strong that Persona became a household name in gaming, establishing itself as the most popular “modern” JRPG series around.

Of course, one problem was that the mainline Persona games seemed stuck on Sony systems for the longest time, and even the Persona 5 protagonist Joker being added to Smash Ultimate as a DLC fighter (somewhat inexplicably given his complete lack of meaningful Nintendo representation) didn’t cause this to change. For years and years Atlus kept acting like obnoxious pricks about what should be the world’s most obvious Switch port, until they FINALLY delivered in October 2022, in the form of the enhanced Persona 5 Royal version of the game. It had released on every other system as well by then, so Nintendo apparently was given nothing in return for providing Persona with a ridiculously huge platform in the form of Smash Bros, but hey, at least Nintendo fans weren’t being treated like outright niggers and actively being snubbed. Oh, and the actual port itself turned out to be of outstanding quality, but I’ll cover that later.

Full disclosure: Despite its fanbase acting like Persona is humanity’s single greatest accomplishment, and a ridiculously high Metacritic score, I didn’t actually expect Persona 5 to quite be on the level of the mainline Xenoblade games, at least not since finding out that the game is saddled with both a silent protagonist and a turn-based combat system. You’re probably not gonna become the GOAT when you start out with such a handicap in terms of both storytelling AND gameplay. That said, those aspects of the game were less of a drawback than I initially expected.

Despite the character himself barely ever saying a word, the game does a great job establishing Joker as an underdog hero, a boy who acted like a Good Samaritan and ended up having his life ruined because of the criminal record his selfless act resulted in. Joker is forced to move to a new city, and live in the cramped attic of his (openly unenthusiastic) new legal guardian’s coffee shop just so he can complete high school. Starting off as a distrusted and even feared outsider, and with his black hair and glasses, Joker definitely reminds me a fair bit of Harry Potter, before he learned that he was a rich and famous wizard. Joker too will soon enough discover that he possesses some very special powers, but those early days of being alone and unjustly persecuted definitely makes it that much more satisfying to form bonds and eventually meaningful friendships with more and more characters throughout the story.

Still, Joker himself is EASILY the least interesting member of your Persona 5 party, which isn’t really a bad thing, since I found this game to boast a superb cast. It seems like some people on Fedi don’t really like these guys, but I thought they were great, being these genuinely fun, quirky personalities that bounce really well off of each other. They’re a ragtag bunch of misfits that it’s enjoyable to hang out with – good thing too, because there’s A LOT of text and dialogue in this game, so your party characters being likable and entertaining essentially makes or breaks the experience.

I also appreciate how even during the early-game, when your party is limited to Morgana, Ryuji and Ann, the cast still feels pretty complete and well-rounded – and yet every new character added to your party genuinely brings something new to the table and improves the friend group’s dynamic further. For the record, I was already familiar with all of the P5 female party characters prior to even playing the game (three guesses why, hehehe…), but at least one of the male characters who joined caught me by surprise. A surprise of the more unfortunate sort was the way a couple of characters join the party really late, making them somewhat shortchanged compared to other party members. Sweet, gentle Haru is definitely someone who deserved better. All in all though, the Persona 5 party is excellent, and more than makes up for Joker’s lack of real dialogue.

The turn-based combat system also works out quite well, most of the time. For one thing, the way you’re frequently obtaining new Personas (either by capturing new ones or fusing old Personas you possess into stronger Personas) means that you frequently get new characters to play around with, greatly alleviating the sense of repetition that often plagues long JRPGs with turn-based battles. Moreover, there’s plenty of different elements to keep track of (including surprisingly American ones like Gun and Nuke), and plenty additional bells and whistles to keep the battles fun and flashy. Boss battles can be pretty elaborate too, with various fun gimmicks spicing up proceedings.

That said, there were various points of the game where combat STILL ended up being really repetitive and mindless, not helped by the difficulty not being all that well-balanced. Persona 5 Royal at the very least gives you WAY too easy access to overpowered Personas (it also forces extra cash on you just for wanting to access free DLC outfits), and while part of me does find it neat how the game actually lets you ignore the Persona level caps and create some truly broken Personas if you’re willing to break the bank, breaking the game in this way tends to produce an initial high, followed by increasing boredom as your overpowered new Persona absolutely trivializes most battles. And speaking of overpowered, Joker being able to use (and switch between) many different Personas, while your party members each only has a single, moderately strong Persona, inherently makes your party extremely unbalanced.
