8 Reasons Persona 5 Is One Of The PS4's Most Promising Exclusives
4. The Visuals And Art Design Are Fantastic
The art design of a game can completely make or break and experience. Perhaps it’s not the be-all and end-all of the game as a whole, but if your title looks like rubbish, it certainly doesn’t help.
As with the music, Persona has a very individual style. At surface level, it might just look like one of any number of other anime-esque JRPGs, but it’s everything else that gives the game a flavour of its own.
Bright, block colours are used in abundance, and you’ll literally be seeing red in Persona 5 more times than you can count. Persona 4's happy, yellow colour scheme connoted its themes of friendship and warmth, but the blood red of Persona 5 represents something far more sinister.
Mix all of the little quirks in with a beautiful opening animation worked on by 'Yuri!!! On Ice' director Sayo Yamamoto, and you’ve got a first class ticket to pure eye-candy.
