Try FFXPersona, As of now, I haven't liked any of the main entry FF games I've played. Although I certainly hope I find one that I like! And I did enjoy some of the spin offs. But overall, Persona by a long shot. P3 is one of my favorite games and I throughly enjoyed P4 as well. Its stories and characters grabbed me in a way FF hasn't been able to (yet! ^^).
Yes! It's already on my list. :happy:Try FFX
I feel a big part of it is that final fantasy is sort of detatched from its japanese roots, feeling more westernized because it knows it has a bigger audience and thus tries to cater to a wider variety of people but because of that it can only please each group of people with small aspects while persona is basically "we made anime into a game. Deal with it." so it can focus more on a very specific audienceI've just started my venture into the Persona series with the Vita port of 4 I'm not all the way finished yet (50 or so hours in) but it has been scratching an itch that FF15 did not for me. So if the Final Fantasy series keeps going in the direction of 15, I'm happy that the Persona series is there to be new and exciting for me.
I'd say that's pretty accurate. Sometimes with the later games in the Final Fantasy series I've felt like they don't know what they want the series to be anymore. And while my experience with Persona is so far pretty limited, the game clearly knows what it is and I appreciate that.I feel a big part of it is that final fantasy is sort of detatched from its japanese roots, feeling more westernized because it knows it has a bigger audience and thus tries to cater to a wider variety of people but because of that it can only please each group of people with small aspects while persona is basically "we made anime into a game.

I know that, its not meant to put one or the other down i just mean as an jrpg experience taking both pros and cons into consideration which do they preferLike I said, porque no los dos.
Each one has something to offer and I find both to be quality games with heavy flaws but hardly deal breakers.
FFXV is gorgeous, fun, enormous and constantly growing.
P5 is bold, stylish, funny and uncompromising.
Both games took me over 100 to finish and there is still more to do.
On the other hand FFXV has the single most anemic plot to any Final Fantasy game ever, even shorter than FFXIII 2 or any other spinoff, and what we got pales to what we were promised with Versus.
P5 becomes tremendously repetitive before long and the final boss fight is meh and even hooky, a far cry from P4G's.
Neither game might be perfect but I love them both and find them very different from each other, so much so that asking which I like more is like asking if I like apples or a speedy passage through the US/México border better; if I had to pick I would but they're not exactly in the same category.
