Just remembered a convo I had w/one of my coworkers a few months ago and it hit me like a fucking train yet again TT0TT
Me: You play Persona?
Him: Yeah
Me: Which ones?
Him: Just 5.
Me: Ok.
Him: I didn't like it.
Me: ???? Ok? Why's that?
Him: It was just weird, I didn't like the gameplay. I also felt like the chars weren't that flashed out.
Me: Ah I see. What about it didn't you like?
Him: It was too same-y and grindy. Too repetitive. 4 looks interesting tho.
Me: P4 is good, but you'll have to deal with the same grindy turn base.
Him: Turn base?
Me: ???? Yeah....you know.....P5's gameplay.
Him: The one I played was more hack n slash.
Me, paling: ..............................................................excuse?
Him: Yeah you ran around hitting things!
Me:.....y-...you....y-y-you mean.....P5.....Strikers?!
Him: Yup that's the one!
Me, clutching my heart: YOU STARTED WITH STRIKERS?????!!!
Him: Yeah.
Me, trying not to have a seizure: lkajsf'F'sdjkfjfaakjfkljfakljafkljdakfljklKJLSDJKFL
Him: What's wrong?
Me: I can't defend P5 in terms of char depth nor can I for Strikers, but to be fair to Strikers in this case....STRIKERS IS A SEQUEL! TT0TT You need to play P5 first holy shit
Him: Oh......
Him: .......
Him: Oh! I did experience the original tho!
Me, inhaling a sigh of relief: Oh thank god. So you played P5 or P5R?
Him: Huh? No, I watched the anime.
Me, seizing: kldsjfalkjafljafljf TT0TT
Me: Nooooooo that's the worst adaptation too!!!! TT0TT
Him: Hmmm maybe that's why I never finished it....
Me: Never fini-STOP I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYMORE YOU KEEP MAKING IT WORSE! TT0TT
Him: So I'm guessing I should play the game-
Me: YES YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE GAME TT0TT "Chars weren't fleshed out." P5 didn't have a fighting chance with you! TT0TT What, did you also just start Kingdom Hearts with KH3????
Him: *inhales*
Me: DON'T ANSWER THAT YOU'VE LOST SPEAKING PRIVILEGES FOR THE DAY! TT0TT
Him: *laughs*
