Where would be the best place for a preorder,? I have it on AZN but I see the local GS has a promo out too. Do they still have that $5 fee and tax for games?

I don't have prime Fwiw.

Yeah, lemme tell you how much I don't want to keep my progress on the compendium or get the secret bosses because Atlus can't give you a feature that skips you to a certain point in the game and save you some time. Like it ain't too bad because cutscene skip is really fast and a good portion of the game's opening cutscenes are event cutscenes that can be outright skipped, but it's still annoying as poo poo to get through.

Uh, the game literally opens teaching you about every mechanic and then pulls through a lengthy tutorial to re-explain all of the mechanics and it only gives you stealth halfway through the first dungeon, not after you decide to be the Phantom Thieves.

You'd really think that there'd be some detection that if you were doing a New Game+ save and/or picked like Risky difficulty, they'd get those first couple hours moving a bit faster, but whatever RPG tutorials are weird.

also someone remind me to keep rolling saves this time cause like twice in P4 I had to replay a month cause I forgot to buy an important book or some poo poo

i mean yeah probably, but also its funny that in a game about doing heists in catsuits, stealth is a later addition than you'd think

I hear that to properly convey the appeal of the game to westerns they localized Phantom Thief Joker as Phantom Thief Fucker.

Persona 5 is primed to be a gateway into the SMT series for thousands/millions of players, as previous Persona games have been but on an even larger scale, and I appreciate it taking the time to ease them in and understanding that not every game is supposed to be structured like Dark Souls.

The only error is assuming there's no middle ground between Twilight "here's hours of meaningless bullshit to teach you what a five minute tutorial could have" Princess and Dark "frick you for not doing your internet research" Souls. Maybe it's because I've only replayed P3/P4 about three times over the years but from memory their tutorial sections were more about setting the stage for things naturally and less about locking you out of everything until you've proven that you know where the X button is. Not being able to skip the whole intro is a knock against it I guess but no sane person would dwell on it.

Speaking of internet research, I kinda don't want to play this until there's a 100% guide out for this reason. I know I don't have to bother trying to platinum it because they copied the bullshit Rise trophy from P4G for Futaba but doing all the other things would be good.

IIRC the trophy is for getting Rise to say every possible line in battle, which sounds like a loving nightmare.

There's a trophy for getting Rise to say 250 things in battle like "Teddy is poisoned!" or "That's weak to darkness!" or whatever. Most people I think don't like to switch from their favorite characters which makes it borderline impossible cause like if you never used Teddy that's like 50 lines you'll never get, Yosuke's another 50 you can never get, etc.


edit: I got it on my first area you get rise in ng+ so I managed ~249 in one run apparently without trying for reference

From memory (and this totally could have been proven wrong by now) it was in a single playthrough. You also had to play pretty poorly, since you had to do a shitload of things and engage in weird scenarios that normally you would never see. Playing normally where you smash weaknesses then all-out attack means you miss the majority of lines. You really have to play randomly and get wrecked a lot to get it naturally.
