You should try the demo. The story may end up being generic anime, but the gameplay was really good. Just don't go in expecting it to be anything like God Eater or Code Vein. Like I said a while back, I think the best comparison is to Astral Chain.
CV is on Game Pass, so this could be too, eventually. I preordered for XSX anyway though, demo was too fun to wait.

Started playing Yakuza 7 tonight since it's now on gamepass and I wanted something chill to play.
Boy, I read the start was slow (and that's why I was in a mood to start it tonight), but boy I wasn't ready for that 5 minutes of gameplay 30 minutes of cutscenes ratio. Finally stopped at the first playable part after getting out from jail. I definitely like it though.

I really like the Yakuza games, especially LaD, but I simply don't have the time, let alone the patience, for the amount of cutscenes in Yakuza 7. The characters and story are all great but with the minimal time I get to play games during the week, I'd rather play than watch.
Not a knock against the game or series as I've loved the others. Too bad real life kind of took over for me.

I've been playing nocturne, fucking love it. I'm so fucking tired of these games not coming on PC at release though. No reason for that shit.

I really hope P4G and Nocturne do so well on Steam that Atlus starts putting more games on PC.

To be fair, Nocturne is both harder and older than the more casual friendly Persona games. Also MegaTen isn't as known in the west, and they dropped the SMT title from the Persona games long ago.
I may have to finally buy a Switch for SMT V, though.

There's a gameplay video out that looks pretty fucking tight. I think it's gonna be pretty good, but we'll see I guess.
Timestamped to some battle gameplay.

While waiting for a few games, I decided to freshen up on Cold Steel playthroughs.
Series is just quite fun. Gonna finish 2nd one now like this. Hardest part is the monster guide. I got really, really fucked on this on TOCS1 because I wasn't paying attention after my first (and 2nd) playthroughs and actually missed a monster outright (White Fang in Northern Nord Highlands). I payed attention making sure I had all the details of every single monster, but never realized I was missing one outright, so I had to do a 3rd playthrough last night and just play on easy, blowing through story to get to north nord to kill/battle scope 1 mob.
Anyways, lessons learned for TOCS2, I'm gonna start my nightmare run of that one today.

P5R, no contest.
I'm a huge SMT fan though, and I prefer modern day stuff to fantasy. DQ11 is a really good game, but it suffers from the same problem that Bravely Default did and the repetition becomes a slog before you finally beat it.
DQ11 is also on Game Pass. Personally I think the Switch version is the best one though, I got through the annoying parts in portable mode.

both games imo get super repetitive, well I played P5 (not royale) and the middle/end is quite a slog. but yeah, DQ11 is probably a bit more.
both are fun, i'd say it really just comes down to which do you prefer
Persona 5 - goofy teenage/high school drama mixed with dungeon crawling and stakes rising. 9/10 on the weeb scale
DQ11 - more old school "retarded boy who everyone loves for no reason saves the world mostly through the power of friendship". 6/10 on the weeb scale
Both are 100-120+ hour games so choose wisely. I played DQ11 on xbox series X and it was fantastic, crazy fast loading and everything looked really good.
