When it comes to SMT, isn't being on the right side of the RNG the same as being good sometimes?

Atlus has acknowledged this and apologized.

The reason it got overlooked was because their QA testers were literally too good at the game. It only happens when you get a dialogue when your partner is KOd, and the QA testers never ran into that situation when they were looking it over. They say that the majority of players in normal play probably won't run into this issue, they're poring over the scripts for P5 and other active localizations to make sure it doesn't happen again, and they're looking into finding a way to fix it.

drat, that's really cool of them. I wonder how much that's making Atlus USA sweat for the localization of P5, even if I doubt that it will happen again after happening here.

I can say with some confidence that they're sweating every single detail of P5 as it stands.

It's the most important game in the company's near-20-year-history and everyone working on it likes Persona. The pressure is pretty much crush depth over there, but I got confidence those dudes will knock it out of the park.

Also they're actually pushing it really hard in Japan, it's a much higher budget release this time around. There's persona 5 ads on tv and billboards. I don't know how it did sales wise but there's massive pressure for it to succeed

Shibuya has construction on now also making it confusing. Definitely not Shinjuku level which might as well be Tartarus with how I could swear it keeps changing

All of the major stations have always had construction in them. It's not new.

70% of the stock sold out day 1, which I assume is pretty decent.

Sales don't increase drastically in Japan beyond the first week so whatever it hits then is gonna be its big number. That being said it having not been a week and already selling through most of its shipment is really good.

The only game I know of in recent years that hit numbers like that was JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle which met that number and it is considered outrageous for it to do that, so yeah it's pretty ambitious to hope to achieve that especially for Persona which is still a pretty new popular IP.

Is this the thread for Apocalypse too?

I completed the law and chaos routes in 4 but never neutral, and I see that's the ending where Apocalypse picks up. Am I going to have to replay IV or am I not missing much of I got the gist of it?

Imagine if you instead murdered both the law and chaos gods in one run.

That's the neutral route.

I think Mamoru Miyano is gonna be hard as gently caress to top in English as Ryuji because I'm gonna have a hard time listening to anyone else shout, "KAPUTAAN KIDO!" He's just so great and he's never leaving my party because his voice is so good.

I don't even know if any of the Persona games have made that number in lifetime Japanese sales. That's pretty ambitious.

Though the only thing i've seen about the sales is the number "70"% and the uncited belief that it's meeting expectations. Which sounds like a good start.

So if I've already done both of those things in other endings I'm effectively missing nothing? I can't remember why I never did the neutral route. I started a playthrough for it but I think it was something to do with having to complete a ton of trivial sidequests to access it?

I mean you're missing stuff, but you can just look up videos. You don't have to play through the whole game again to understand everything.

You're not really missing anything important. Apocalypse picks up right after the final alignment decision in IV. I guess you'll miss what would have happened in the neutral route had the events of Apocalypse not happened but that's it.

You'll miss some things but I think apocalypse will fill you in on anything you missed so you don't have to do a whole run just for neutral.

All you need to understand in Apocalypse is that by choosing Neutral and thumbing his nose at both factions Flynn has basically become a symbol of hope to the entirety of Tokyo.

Yeah, I really like P5's Japanese voice cast. I was a bit iffier on 4s but so far I'm pretty happy with the Japanese cast. It's entirely possible I'll hate the later characters but at least there isn't Teddie this time.

PCB is very good though and provided Valerie Arem doesn't loving botch this like she has every non Arena based spinoff and half of ZTD then it'll be fine. I would honestly expect a few VAs and there's some I could list for certain chars right now, but that list is most likely going to end up 80% incorrect because most ADR Directord and Dub Producers do not seem to think the way I do which is for the best most likely.
