Why to play the game if you can watch the anime?

[Eren]

The strong point of this saga is its narrative and you can enjoy it in the anime, where the filling that you find in the video game gameplay is not there.

theres a lot of stuff in the story the anime doesnt cover, or skims over. The game narrative is simply stronger as it takes its time, where the anime kinda rushes everything.

You get to know the characters a lot better through the game instead of the anime. Especially the confidants that aren't in the main cast, since the anime kind of ignores all of those. Also, the extra story content in Royal was never adapted.

However, my main complaint with the Persona 5 anime is that the animation quality is awful. Look up some complaints about it with pictures, and you'll see. The Persona 4 anime and Persona 3 movies were a lot better in this aspect.

The P5 anime in particular wasn't very good. The Persona 4 anime could legitimately replace playing the game to a degree in comparison - very high quality.

Same reason why people will tell you to check out the manga of an anime. The source material the anime is based off of has so much more. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It really depends on the anime. My Hero Academia, Bleach, Naruto, One Piece all adapt basically everything. You lose very little watching the anime instead.

..wow...

Wait, I want to try this too!

Or, you know, they both support and enhance one another.

The source material is almost always better. Why watch a poor adaptation?

Because you are comparing a Story that is close or to or over 80hrs to complete (The original P5) vs condensed version that is 12.5hrs total. Which is why the game is better to play than watching the Anime.

[YUBI YUBI tax collector]

because the anime is an ad for the game ? Are you stupid ?

[ハツマパイセン]

because i like traditional turned based rpg to play rather than online shooter, moba or action rpg?

[Haruspex]

Because some of us play for more than just the story. There's a whole experience there.

[King of Games]

because the abime is trash lol

[Fulp]

you're trolling, right?

[Eren]

Watching the anime is also a whole experiencie
