Quick Look: Persona 5

OMG YES!

Goodbye Drew Scanlon <3

Investigation Team go! Wait, wrong game... :p

Edit: "Posted by Drew Scanlon / Jeff and Vinny begin their crusade to make it through the beginning of Persona 5". That could not be a more perfect deck for this.

Edit: The Thieves Guild stuff is very similar to what was in The Golden.

Edit: By the way, the framing of this game is even more Tokyo Drift than P4 - protagonist is sent to Tokyo as part of probation after a run-in with the law.

Edit: "This is our only chance" AHA! - OK, we don't need an ER of this. That was perfect enough :)

Hearing "prisoner of fate" twice in this in really weird, because I've been playing this in Japanese and that is exactly the phrase I used in my notes for my preview article :/

AWW YISS.

Edit: I was born in 1989, and "juvie" is still what they called it when I was a teenager.

My body is not ready for Persona, LET'S DO THIS.

Also, posted by Drew Scanlon. What a perfect send off.

Posting from the future.

Ah ha is this our chance?!

HERE WE GO!

my body is ready

LETS

GO

AWW YISSS

Per... so... na!

Finally!

Yeah Jeff and Vinny!

"posted by Drew Scanlon" This must have happened a while ago!

This is also the best crew possible to show Persona 5 off on Giant Bomb.

CAST BUFU!!!!

It begins.

Per-so-na!

NOTHING STOPS THE ENDURANCE RUN!

PUPULARITY

INTAMACY

AWWW SHIT

Aha!?

Yes!!! Jeff and Vinny persona video!!!!

OH BOY. I CAN NOT WAIT.

LOL - the description of this kills me. literally

Man is this Drew's last recording? To be remembered by all to be Persona 5 quicklook. Just like when he started back then during the Persona 4 endurance run

Kids in the streets. Adults in the sheets.

Wait... I thought P4G was on Jeff's top ten one year? Maybe I'm crazy...

Man. I'm not going to say it. But maaaaaaaan.

IS THIS OUR CHANCE!?

The gang's all here, the Persona Reunion Tour begins now!

This game has some Styyyleeeeee

2012.

OK, before we get to number one, let's talk for a second. Let's talk about what my "real" game of the year is. Because it's a game that I didn't really play this year. So while I'm not going to name it my number one... it's the game I really think you need to play. That game is Persona 4: Golden for the Vita. Look. If you've been visiting this site for any length of time you probably already know my feelings on the original PS2 game. It's terrific. It's got charm, the character interactions are awkward in all the right ways, and it's probably one of the best times I've had with video games, whether I was playing by myself or watching someone else play it. Golden takes that baseline game, streamlines some of the fusion process and adds a bunch of little interesting things to it. There are parts of it that I'm absolutely dying to see. But I just can't. I can't devote another 100 hours to that story, even if there are new wrinkles to it. So, since I haven't played it, I can't really recommend it to you. But here, allow me to recommend it to you anyway. You should play Persona 4. It's a good game.

As much as I want to watch this, I'm waiting until I'm a few hours into the game. I've waited this long....

Oh boy a new Endurance R...*immediatly gets yanked offstage, shot, buried in shallow grave*

@stordoff: Oh that makes sense! Thanks for the clarification!

"Posted by Drew Scanlon" I'm not crying, you're crying!

@cj3651I can't recall... I remember something like this:

Jeff's top ten was something else but he took the camera aside and mentioned persona 4 the golden. He didn't have time to play it through again but he heavily recommended it and implied it was #1

Drew uploading Jeff and Vinny playing Persona?! Is it 2009 again?

Ugh I can't believe they're fucking the fusing up so bad. JUST LOOK UP THE ARCANA TABLE JEFF!!!

@fangrim: Yeah you're correct, @stordoff just explained it for me!

I am home again

YES

I hope ten minutes of this is buying Tap Sodas from a vending machine.

Hahah that work of fiction bit they did killed me. This game's already great.

Love that you guys went cross-coast for this quick look!

That intro was perfect. 70's feel was amazing.

Oh my god, I can't believe I'm going to make myself wait a week before watching this.

The saga continues.

Drew's back! See you tomorrow for the next episode!

CAST BUFU
