I'm about to play this game for the first time...

I'm about to play this game for the first time. One of my main issues with Persona 3 was the lack of group interactions and the lack of content in the life simulation elements. The graphics were also not great and the camera and lack of complexity in the engine just made it feel like a low-budget PSP game. As a result the immersion suffered and I felt like the life simulation half of the game wasn't very interesting. Yukari, Junpei, and Akihiko were great though, and the music was good, but it wasn't enough for me to put the 80 hours into the game to beat it especially with the tedious gameplay.

Does Persona 5 expand on this by making the life simulation elements more immersive, and does it actually make the player feel like they're a part of a group? In P3 the characters seemed distant and there wasn't anything interesting going on, they all lived at the same dorm, there wasn't a lot of interactions, they just fought shadows together and occasionally pretended to be friends. The world wasn't very much worth exploring either. Basically I am asking does this game dial up the dating sim elements and the weeb factor to be more attractive to a friendless loser like me than Persona 3?

Yes, the gameplay is miles ahead either way. for the best characters and interactions between them, check persona 4. 5's cast was ok too, but if those are your complaints about P3, it's safe to say you will find a lot to like about P5.

also get the fuck out of Yas Forums unless you want to be spoiled of everything that happens in the game

>playing royal first instead of OG 5
cringe

I would play 4 but I still can't get over P3's camera and low graphic fidelity it's left a sour taste in my mouth. P5 actually looks like a proper 3D game with the camera behind the shoulder and a visual artstyle that pops.

Yes, they actually feel like friends. It’s miles better above 3.

I miss Last Surprise

why you gotta spoil shit you retard?

If you thought the P3 cast felt distant then you'll hate 5. Barely any group interactions and the characters just exist to suck off Joker.
The P3 cast was actually independent and interacted with one another even when Door-kun wasn't around. Not the case for 5.

You’re an idiot. There’s MANY times when they’re not talking to Joker, and they added even more in Royal. You’re thinking about P4.
