Persona 5 vs Tartaros Rebirth
Persona 5
Persona 5 is a pretty unique RPG that is based on the thought-provoking, Jungian concept of "self" where people are forced to wear masks to protect their inner self in order to feel some twisted sort of belonging in the current society. Apparently, the protagonist which you will be playing, along with your group of high school classmates/companions, realized that they have the ability to enter people's hearts, help them rip off their masks and confront their vulnerabilities to awaken their inner power which can then be used for the greater good. Dubbed as the Phantom Thieves, these students aim to change the world to their perception and to remove the masks that modern society wears.Persona 5 is the sort of adventure-RPG that seems to be able to really dig into the recesses of your mind and makes you really think about what's really going on in the society today. This is the type of games the modern people need and if you'd like to go on thought-provoking journey, this is definitely the type of game to play.
Tartaros Rebirth
Tartaros Rebirth is the revived version of the anime-themed MMORPG that was popular back in the 2000s, Tartaros Online. Featuring everything you know and love from back in the day, this game has something new to offer as well, such as brand-new storylines. Like the original, you'll get to play as one of nine unique characters, each with their own personalities and skillsets. You can switch between them while you're in town, but not in dungeons or instances. Questing is the main way to level up in this game and the grind is real. However, there are tons of places for you to explore and you can even use higher level characters to complete quests for your lower level characters to turn in.The combat system is rather clunky though, so is its controls with keys that you'll probably have to rebind. Battles are played out in a semi-action-based manner, but since you can't really dodge, block or dash away from danger, all the "non-action" can be a bit underwhelming. Not to mention, the graphics isn't updated somehow and although it may have been acceptable back then, it is definitely not something that will appeal to players in this day and age.
So, in short, Tartaros Rebirth is a great anime-themed game to play, despite sharing many similarities with Dragon Nest, for nostalgic purposes but if you're simply looking for a new anime game to play, you might have a better time playing Lineage II: Revolution.
