Persona's combat system, if tweaked correctly can be a tremendous strength: there's a chance to have a great turn-based system in which elements play the role of the main "puzzle" to strategize over with both your demons and your party cast. I agree that Persona 5 had very little strategy in it, let's hope for future entries to be better.
I wonder what kind of battle system the new Atlus JRPG will have
fyi: SMT and Persona based their combat system on weak points way earlier than P5. I'm not saying it is immune to criticism, but it's a series standard by now
A good chunk of comments have spoilers, so if you read this first beware. I guess people like to brag about game knowledge more than they like having other people experiencing stuff.
The Final Fantasy series has many loved entries in which recurring characters, archetypes and items make a looping comeback. It is very fun to see how different those elements are handled in different entries. They just need to step back and realize not every FF needs to be a game that pushes its platform to its hardware limit. That may have worked well for them up to the PS2 era, but it's not a thing anymore. You don't need extreme ultra realistic eye twitching for your game to be grandiose.
To be fair, emulation and patching is even improving on late 90s to early 10s console games. Sure, you can't evade hardware limitations, but having, for example, ps2 games not slowing down on a CRT with weird motion blur and giving you a big headache makes for an already much more compelling experience.
You got it a bit confused! Flatpak is not a way to store roms, but a way to deliver the software (RetroDeck) onto your device. Retrodeck, once installed, will create a "retrodeck" folder in your steam deck filesystem, which will again contain folders for roms.
All you need to do at that point is to place rom files inside already existing folders for their own systems (psx, psp, etc). Those files can be of many filetypes. For example, psx roms can be in chd, cue/bin, iso, etc
It is as straightforward as it can get!
Like many others, I highly suggest Retrodeck instead of EmuDeck. Not only it is a flawless experience, but having it all packaged in a flatpak means it won't scatter files around for every emulator which are then hard to clean up (like EmuDeck does, usually).
Right now square enix has a very loved cast: by giving us a strong narration they could keep things very interesting even if the storyline is not as grandiose as previous entries. Sadly being the WoL truly makes it feel like I am too much of a main character in a world in which I'd rather not be one, idk if that makes sense
fellers never heard of a mmorpg
Thank you! Pretty much everything suggested, I've added; I knew about CrossCode, yet completely forgot about it.
to be fair you can run on fresh kernel on linux mint through easy gui steps on the update manager!
