Mild spoilers for end of first dungeon:

Do I need to run the whole dungeon over again from the beginning after sending the calling card or is there a way to continue from the last safe room?

Ann, Ryuji, Morgana, and Protag theme and avatar packs are up on PSN in NA. $1.99 each for a dynamic theme plus 3 avatars. Weirdly enough, I found only the Ann one in the Themes section of Add-Ons but the other three were on the game's page in an Avatars section.

I'm 8 hours in and only just got free access to the first dungeon, so kind of the opposite of this for me.

That's not a knock because you know what you're in for with Persona. It's faster than 4 though, that's for sure. (What isn't?)

I think it's a bit slower than P4 but better paced in that you're getting multiple tastes of dungeon stuff rather than backending it so heavily.

Friends 'ave fun together.
The plot gets going slightly faster, but I'm pretty sure it took less time to unlock wandering around the map in P4.

It's kinda funny how the intro up to the end of the first dungeon is longer than some entire games, though. (Including a few RPGs.)

Loving the game so far though not a huge fan of the Calling Card mechanic. I went in to the Meteverse loaded up and expecting a showdown only get told we have to send a card first dropped out of frigging nowhere. Then I lose another entire day while the characters sit around to say "Yes, we will indeed send a card!" and finally go back (consuming yet another day) to finish the job the next day.

I guess I can see why they did it to squeeze a few more plot moments in to the mix but the wasting of time angers the inner OCD child in me.

I'm not sure why you expect more from an Atlus translation if you're not looking at them with nostalgic beer goggles then.

This is how Atlus translations are. They do have some well-localized and enjoyable lines but they have their share of awkwardness. Most translations do unless they go full-on in rewriting everything and sometimes even that is unavoidable when it gets into weird intentional ambiguous dialogue or metaphysical bullshit. P5 absolutely has areas where it could have been translated better from what I've seen but I can't think of an Atlus translation I don't feel that way about so I'm not sure why it's coming up here.

And if I'm being aggressive it is because I'm genuinely tired of cynical ironyposting or people repeating things they saw online being mistaken as a serious actual criticism which has happened in this thread and others. If you want to discuss problems then fine, but discuss them in the context of the game and not in people rushing to post screenshots that prove Atlus has FAILED unlike their other games which are okay because ???

Dude you wasted no time in getting real drat mad that I said that it felt stiff and awkward. I knew literally nothing about this game going in because I intentionally blackballed myself on all media related to it purely so I could have unbiased impressions and I still thought the translation was (from what I had seen) disappointing. Being all "well what do you expect, this is Atlus, you're dumb for thinking otherwise" isn't a good way to sell people on the game.

It has two purposes really:

It forces the players out to give them a full heal before the boss, which may be a waste of time but better allows them to balance things without encouraging degenerate time-wasters like standing around with SP-regen items equipped.

It's also basically the Phantom Thief thing to send a challenge. It's why you see it so often in various JRPGs and stuff. It's such an iconic part of the concept that it basically has to be done.

I don't particularly care about selling the game, I don't work for Atlus.

After you redeem DLC items on the store, you're probably gonna need to restart the game so it can register, and then check the box on the bottom shelf of the shelves you walk into as you enter your room.

If you want 100% of every social link? Extremely strict. If you're fine with 90% or so? Fairly easy. There's some stuff that's NG+ exclusive, too, so there's that as an incentive to not minmax your first run through.

Don't bother. You can come extremely close to max without min-maxing and it'll be more fun.

Man I took a look at that guide and it even recommends savescumming the Proficiency rank-ups so you get 3 every time. That sounds incredibly boring and unfun, I'm glad I'm not worried about getting NG 100% S.Links.

Just do your one run where you gently caress everything up and then your second guided run where you date all of the girls and then your third run where you date none of the girls and then your fourth final canon run where you only date the one best girl, you know like normal people do.
