Graphics any better in the full game?
Some of these textures are downright sinful and the AA either doesn't exist or whatever they are using is complete garbage. Like everything shimmers like crazy and even the icons look crazy jaggy.

Only way to fix this is having max res scale, which might be fine, maybe, depending how much it impacts performance.


Also the intro open world thing had this really weird visual effect at distance that I feel like I've only seen in anime games which doesn't look good.

EDIT: To answer my own question, no, they do not look any better at all. The AA might be slightly better maybe, but its still hella shimmery and overall requires a higher render scale. Everything else looks exactly the same from the demo. Probably check out the MetaphorFix that Nater suggested later when I'm not lazy.

You can make it slightly better though a mod called Metaphorfix by Lyall.

Other than that this is very much a PS3 standard developed game (Persona 5 engine) so do not set your expectations very high.

This really on the P5 engine, that game actually looks good especially on the Deck. Outside of the bad textures in places the AA shimmer is crazy here, like legitimately insane levels of edge shimmer on everything.


This is almost like Pokemon Sword and Shield on Switch bad.

There's a TAA mod that looks far better than the AA that was added in the recent patch, it's not perfect but it the diference between PC with this and consoles is night and day

I find it hilarious that people worry so much about the graphics on an anime game. They are fine. Pokemon one of the best selling games of all time does not even have graphics close to this. I wonder how those millions of people ever survived. There are gamers and then there are game techers.

Not completely its pretty close in many ways, better sure but its not like next level. I wouldn't be surprised if this was supposed to be a Switch game first which is why the graphics are so bad.

The graphics are great. Play the game stop staring at the screen and looking for something to complain about. I love the style..I love the interface. .And I could not care less about staring at the textures and comparing them to other games. I don't even look at them. I swear some of you guys start the game and just sit there staring at the screen. Not playing at all. Just studying every texture. Like I say your techers. Your not gamers.

Graphics are so bad since it's been in development for like 9 years.

Nvm why even bother talking to a blank wall?

Idk about that I feel like long devs time don't really matter when it comes to graphics. I mean look at games from the PS4 era, either from the beginning or even late, only thing hindering those games graphics wise is the tech. Games had to be lower quality purely cuz the tech couldn't handle it but what was achieved anyway is phenomenal non the less.

That's mainly why I say this seems like it was supposed to be a Switch title cuz that system is possibly the worst console ever for exclusive getting ports. Only thing that thing gives a benefit to is performance and that's it.

The graphics are far from great. This is N64 tier quality textures.

Jesus what resolution is that?!???!?

But yeah at least for the demo since that's all I've played the environmental texture work for outside environments is awful. The city or town thing (idk what its called I skipped the demo plot stuff) looked fine from what I remember). Also some of geometry is p bad but not so much so that it matters compared to the texture work.

yes the textures outside of the playable area in a random campsite that you're in for maybe half a minute don't look good
this is truly the greatest evidence as to this being a massive problem
you're quite literally going out of your way to look for problems to complain about
