i love the game saying Transfer To The Ginza Line and not telling you at all how to do that, very realistic. That and the "Looks like the rumors about the Tokyo subway are true" are good at selling you on Welcome To The City, Crime Hick Boy

I bumbled around trying to find the Ginza line, but my friend who had stayed in Japan found it easy since the building he used to get to the line that took him to where he stayed is the same building you use to get to the Ginza line so it's a good recreation of Shibuya station

This is not Sega, they have at no point made a statement and even said they are keeping a hands off policy with Atlus games. I'm pretty sure Yakuza isn't even policed to this extent.

I remember them not wanting people to reveal the Persona Q plot twist, or the fact everything that happened was most likely forgotten by everyone but the Velvet Room attendants.

They have always wanted people to not talk about their games, ever since P4 came out they have had warnings asking people to not spoil the game, it's just now there's poo poo they can use to enforce it.

You get used to it. I don't
even see the code. All I see
is Ipecac, Scapular, Polyphemus...


I'm pretty sure everyone ignored the Persona Q one and nothing ever came of it, partly because there weren't a fuckload of people playing it

Persona 5, however, is an entirely different story.

Spoiler policing is amusing. They're going as far as threatening a copyright claim on videos to enforce it (but streaming in general is ok until a certain point in the story), which sounds like an abuse of the system.

Someone should make a video of themselves just reading a spoiler-filled plot synopsis.

Yea, would they have any claim against someone reading out the spoilers of what happens, but with no associated video from the game?

the tl is pretty stiff and has some errors, and i think it's fine to be disappointed by that. Going 'well, EVERY tl has stiff lines' just isn't true. The Trails series is also insanely long, and while not every line is a masterpiece or anything I can't remember anything that stood out as incredibly stiff, and only like 2-5 typos a game. I do also think the TL is noticeably stiffer than P3/P4 - not to say those games were perfect, they also had some really clumsy lines in places, but P5's tl feels a little worse about that. Atlus USA lost their main translator recently, so it makes sense that the result would be worse than the previous games if they couldn't find anyone to replace him.

Plus if the voice acting stuff is true I feel like Atlus Japan probably stuck their hand in this TL in more than a few places

This is a late April Fools joke, right?

I'm a big fan of how the article itself has spoilers when telling people what not to discuss or stream, and that the Twitter replies are spammed to hell and back with story spoilers. Good luck with this one, Atlus.

My recommendations on what to spend money on are

-Sadayo
-Chihaya
-Save 100k for the SP Regeneration Accessory Tae gives you at Rank 5
-Maybe some equipment here and there
-Compendium Stuff

If you can, try and get Teranosuke to Rank 2 because he gives you the ability to extort money from demons and it makes it less of a pain in the rear end to keep up on cash

Is the name "The Joker" related in any way at all to Persona 2? I assume no but it would make me happy because I'm one of the four people who likes P2 EP.

persona 2 (both halves) is a bad rear end game and people SHOULD care

this is in no way my attempt to grass roots build a movement to get them to remake persona 2 in the persona 5 engine or anything

Thank you.

Honestly, at like 5 hours in, I've noticed that it feels a bit more like Persona 2 than 3 and 4 did. I think the setting, the color scheme, and the return of some mechanics like negotiation and guns are making me feel that way. The fact that you're just basically fighting SMT demons again, too; I enjoy kicking Pyro Jack's rear end, and making him be my friend at gunpoint also.

Persona 5 is available for the Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 systems in both physical and digital format. It took 4 years since being announced to be released despite supposedly being ready for release 3 years ago on PS3.

It's supposed to scratch that aesthetic but the guns and poo poo definitely show an influence from like P1 and SMT in general as well. It's a cool mix of styles that give the game a different kind of edge in a need way I feel.

Got one shot by a level 16 monster using Double Fangs while single sitting the first dungeon. I'm not totally mad about it or anything. (I would be if I wasn't saving in every save room going along.) Seems like around level 9 or 10 is a soft cap here though? Nothing is really giving enough exp to realistically level up, so I might as well skip fights for now.

e: missed a word
