Sorry FFXV is going to Obliterate it commercially and equal or better critically. That said Persona 5 is set up to be the biggest and most successful game in the franchise so far and has potential to break into the mainstream market and get Souls level recognition.
FF15 may sell more, that doesn't make it a better game than Persona 5, which is almost assuredly going to be a far more superior product.
Not really.
You base that off what exactly? Emotions and fandom don't count as argument points BTW!
Multiple things:
- The recent track record of Atlus and Persona versus the recent track record of Square Enix and Final Fantasy 15
- The mostly smooth (if long) development of Persona 5 versus the highly protracted development of Final Fantasy 15- it has changed directors two times, and full staff at least three separate times
- Persona generally pushes the envelope of RPGs more than Final Fantasy- FF15 looks ambitious, definitely, but it still looks like a traditional JRPG translated to a modern open world context. Persona always plays with its structure, its story, and its characters to subvert player expectations about the genre
Everything we have seen of Persona so far looks far better than everything we have seen of Final Fantasy 15
OPINION, and I disagree, next
- even if this point is subjective, the three points listed above are not. They are pretty concrete grounds to be far more confident of Persona 5's quality over Final Fantasy 15, when it comes down to it.
Fans of Final Fantasy (of which I am one myself, I may remind you) are free to look forward to FF15 more, nothing is stopping them; they are free to think FF15 will be the better game, and nothing is stopping them from believing that either- for all we know, it will be.
However, there are no concrete points to actually believe at this point that FF15 will be a better game than P5 will be.
Vice Versa: There are no concrete points to say P5 will be a better game than FFXV, regardless of SW perspective even the notoriously hated FFXIII games are critically high rated games and have sold millions of units across the world. FACT
The few concrete points that exist as evidence when talking about two unreleased games all point to Persona 5 being the better product.
The only concrete points that can be made between these games pre-release are objective 3rd party critical acclaim and sales for previous games, everything else is you've said is personal opinion and personal preference. With that in mind the concrete points show that they have equal chance for critical success and a higher chance for FF wiping the floor with it in sales. NEXT
The only reason FF fans would persist in thinking FF15 may be better would be because of, as you said, emotions and fandom, with a dash of subjectivity and personal preferences thrown in.
