Well, her asks do show that her standards is mainly gameplay first, considering that games like Kingdom Hearts already bring the player into the gameplay, whether it’s almost immediately after the intro like in KH, BBS, DDD and KH III, or after at least a few minutes of cutscenes like in KH II and CoM.
Where as in Persona, there’re loads of cutscenes in the beginning, and very little gameplay, until the game finally opens up for the player. Sure, Persona 5 did immediately start off with the dungeon gameplay, but only for a couple of minutes, and then you have to sit through more cutscenes until the game opens up. Sure it’s not as long as P4, but the wait is still pretty long, though at least you can fast-forward through the cutscenes to shorten up the wait
