Heya, quick question in which I expect just a few different opinions.

I'd like to play the game at some point and I will (still hoping for a Switch port in that matter).
However, is is safe to watch the anime first? Which means, would I destroy a potentially great game experience by knowing too much of it or not?

Just asking because in the examples of let's say Undertale, too many spoilers definitely destroy half the fun you would have. In case of...Doki Doki Literature Club you could directly watch a "best of scenes" on youtube.

Thanks for your answers. ;)

Umm, if you're absolutely positively sure that you'll play the game, I'd recommend not to watch the anime first. It'll become a major spoiler and ruin the experience for game. Plus it's not a very good adaptation.

Yes.

Persona 5 won't come to Switch afaik. The rumored Persona 5 Royal is an enhanced PS4 exclusive port with a new character, like they did with Persona 4 Golden so you can wait for that instead.

Switch port prooobably won't happen since the announced Persona 5 S ended up being some kind of spin-off. That one is coming to the Switch, but it's not the main game so yeah doubt it's happening (even though I'm hoping for a port as well).

Oh, I know that. That was more hypothetically speaking for it being released at some other point. A PC release through Sega (just like with Catherine) is also okay.
Thanks for the heads up anyways. ;)

Play the game first, this anime is just the condensed version of the storyline.

I didn't play Pesrona 5 at all, but finished P5R recently. Definitely a masterpiece. I thought that after Nier Automata nothing else will touch me but Persona did that!

I'm watching now the anime and i remember all these gaming moments that i experienced! Ok, anime is just a poor ''copy'' from Persona 5 but if you love the game you will enjoy it.

no because you're better off playing the game instead.

The series is just an abridged version of the game's main route.

You can watch this, or just play the game. But you will somehow enjoy this a bit more if you already played the game.

Those with dirty minds will find my Steam pic offensive

Absolutely worth watching it. Better than grinding through all those 500+ hours of full game. Everything that really matter is here, and what has been cut is not of great importance.
There is such thing as shit taste. Only idiots think that every "work of art" should have the same value.

Oil and nuclear are civilisation saviours. Deal with it.
