Neo: The World Ends With.....Persona?
-
After playing the demo of Neo: The World Ends With You I got strong Persona 5 vibes. I understand the gameplay is very different, but there's a distracting number of similarities that I couldn't help but notice. Both games are set in Tokyo and both are quite socially focused among other things. Does anyone else feel the same way?
-
If you are talking about its menus and it aesthetics being similar to Persona 5, the original TWEWY came before P5 and the whole S.Link system that started from P3 all came from Sakura Wars.
-
@danjin44 Yeah I understand that but I think the mainstream success of Persona 5 has forced comparisons between itself and Neo: The World Ends With You. I doubt many experienced the original TWEWY nor Sakura Wars so they are unable to realise that those games did these things first.

@jdincinerator Maybe in west but Sakura Wars was huge in Japan, it was one of Saga's important titles.

@jdincinerator There's been alot of cringy moments on Twitter with people awarding Persona for things it cribbed from other series actually. Your topic wasn't as bad as some of those, but it definitely reminded me of every time it happens.

@mbun I am only going off my experiences with the Neo: TWEWY demo-it's the first time I played TWEWY.
