Preparing PHASE TWO!
I mean, he specifically said including JRPG's, and Persona quite possibly is one of the best 5 JRPG's of all time. Why wouldn't someone recommend it?I liked Persona 4 enough but I have an open mind with games. I wouldn't recommend it to my even above average gamer. I don't like anime or I guess I don't know I wouldn't have any interest to watch it after Persona because the story was so stupid and hard to follow. That said I bought Persona 5 knowing full well I might as well check out of all things understanding any part of it.
Try to sell that to your average want to relax with a game person. We are all gamers so I think people's views of what a casual gamer are, are totally skewed.
You can go out in public and find ten dudes that own a PS4. I would guess maybe 3 of them have heard of Fallout or Skyrim, enough to talk about it. Let alone be like "have I got a game for you, it's a high school dungeon crawler from Japan!". 8/10 of them own the system to play sports games randomly and some online shooters.
And I didn't play Persona 4 so maybe it was more complicated plot wise than 5, but I didn't find Persona 5's story to be all that complicated or convoluted, and definitely not stupid.
