It's a randomly generated dungeon that locks after specific points in the story so it is the same thing as Tartarus, effectively.

Tartarus is tolerable but it must suck in comparison when there are actual seemingly good dungeons in the game now.
I assume it's a lot smaller.

It's a lot smaller and simpler than Tartarus. It's mostly a place to do sidequests and fight when there are no main dungeons available.

I would rather the two dungeons I don't like in this game than Mementos, yes.

Yeah it sounds like it's almost just the obligatory SMT Grind/Recruit old demons Dungeon like Sea Arc, Devil's Peak, Kasugayama bomb shelter etc.

It's pretty strange that they seemed to have had decent emphasis on making interesting and unique dungeons to improve on previous games, only to keep the same generic dungeon format they were moving away from with Mementos.

So, a weird question.

Should I buy P5 and get and old out my old PS3 (tho I haven't used it for 2-3 years) or should I borrow my friend's PS4 (he hasn't really used it much and he fine with me borrowing it for 2 or 3 weeks) and get it there?

Is the graphics better/smoother frame rate or no big difference?

Nothing big unless you're looking at them side by side for loading times or NPCs in a crowd.

Plus you won't be pressured to finish. Walmart.com and Amazon price match has it for $42.49 as well.

I would say PS4 if only because it is a better version, though not astronomically so, and it does your bud a solid too by giving them access to a new game (even if they don't end up playing it, it's a nice option).
PS3 version still looks really good, has the same target frame rate and assets as PS4 too. Just worse texture filtering and render resolution. As a counter balance to even that though, I've read that better texture filtering isn't necessarily a good thing with P5 because some of the texture work is bad, though better render res is objectively better. I've not seen either version in the flesh so it's just hearsay though.

Dehry posted:

This is pretty cheap though, cheaper than what I've seen for the UK version of the PS3 Persona 5*. I'd have been tempted if I could have saved £15 for the PS3 version over PS4 rather than just £8 (i bought a £50 PSN card for £46 and have £3 in my wallet :v:)


*Research may have consisted of checking one or two sites and saying gently caress researching this

Are you saying I won't finish this?! Are you daft or something?!
I will 100% this game just you wait.

Tho, I've played P4 like three times but never finished it since I felt like I HAD to do everything AND do it right.

What are my best chances to get the Take Your Heart edition in Ireland? Both of the game stores I've visited have said they're not getting the special edition, so I'm guessing I'd be best off ordering it online and getting it shipped here (Something I don't often do).

I would order jic I mean it's not worth $120 or w/e on the gray market if you miss out either.

@Captain Baal: I think P5 will be good and fun :smith:

Also I thought the female SL were more popular than guys? Maybe? I like Goro because detectives and he looks somewhat mature for a HS person.

Didn't Japan also pick Yukiko over Chie? I mean I haven't played the game but they already have a history of being objectively wrong.

The real question is can you dick with fusion at low levels and fuse in Victory Cry so the rest of the game is using all abilities all the time instead of hoarding SP.

maybe it'll be better than P4 tho where I swapped in Kanji for Chie and literally never used Teddie or Naoto

I can't remember my P3 team but I dont think I ever swapped out Mitsuru either

Fwiw the most worthless chars in P5 (Ann/Haru, basically) are still more useful than the most worthless P3 or P4 chars, in gameplay.

When you fuse, do you pick like Golden or are skill results random like base P4? Trying to decide on a difficulty, and I know with Golden I knocked it up to Hard partially because of that.
