TBH I haven't seen anybody in this thread express anything other than mild disappointment at the translation, but the people taking pains to call out all of the "hyperbole" and "rushing into the thread to poo poo it up" types that seem to be really angry at people on Twitter are giving me a much worse impression of the game than any of the screenshots have

That's true, but this thread got so entrenched in a person trying to be reasonable and then some people chomping at the bit to call others weebs and poo poo it was kind of obnoxious for a minute. I don't think anyone here is killing themselves over any of it, but it'd be nice if people could chill a bit,.

Baal just does not like some va's in certain roles, anything he says about the dub is purely a preference thing.

Except amanda Winn lee. Is she supposed to be drunk? I still cant tell after 80 hours.

The script missteps aside I haven't heard a single off-tone voice so far, which is nice considering that the cast seems to mainly consist of Atlus' up-and-comers. Ryuji always sounds like he's ready to slug someone, which is appropriate. The Chin That Walks is basically Ian Sinclair's Space Dandy without the roguish charm. My perpetually tired homeroom teacher is nice. Igor good. Only the twins sound a little stilted.

a persona game with an exclusively female protagonist would be cool, since the coolest parts of the female route in p3p were junpei getting pissy because a girl was going to be bossing him around, and then later on when he gets worried about guys creeping on you in his s. link, or you being out at like 5 in the morning play with cats. that stuff felt kind of honest and interesting in a way that humanized a lot of the cast.
Right? I always find it disappointing when heavily character-focused games let the player choose a male protagonist, because it makes it really hard for them to do anything that you can or would or should only do in a story about a woman. Doing it properly like P3P does requires a massive rewrite.

She is supposed to sound drunk, but what I've heard of the trailer is iffy and I even said earlier the dub is fine for the most part with the exception of specific voices I don't care for. I've pretty much come around on Ryuji, because some of Mittelman's readings have been spectacular. I still don't like him as much as Miyano, but he's a solid performance in his own right.

I find it interesting that Igor never seems to be quite sure what kind of room he's getting with the next guest but he had still two assistants ready to play good cop/bad cop.

well, :geno: cop and :argh: cop anyway.

I mean I feel like the only reason that dog piling is happening is because certain indviduals are parroting the same 4 or 5 lines and going "LOOK AT THIS DOGSHIT TRANSLATION YOU loving IDIOTS" and then playing the pissbaby when people make fun of them. If you were to go "what's happening in this line here" or maybe make a joke about it or something people would probably be more open to discussion about questionable translation choices (suckamoto) but you've got people in here just trying to poo poo on the game and ruin it for other people that yeah, people are just gonna tell em to gently caress off

I like to think he always shows up a little bit in advance of the owner waking up and let the twins fill in for his assistants this time because Caroline really really wanted to hit things with a stick.

I'm sure this has been asked a billion times before, but I'm asking again because I don't want to trawl back through pages full of plot spoilers. How time-sensitive are all the various Social Links and stat grinds in this one? Any particular stat or link I should prioritize? I remember there being some critical timings at least for P3.

You will hit some walls, but it is nowhere near as unforgiving as P3 and is more forgiving than P4's as well which was already pretty forgiving

Here's a question: could you ever date the sibling of a date option in p3 or p4

Because this might be the weirdest consistency

Yeah, if you're actually using everything you have available P5 is really really easy. Probably excessively so.You won't get 100% without a guide on a first playthrough but you'll have time enough to get tons maxed out without much effort.

I have not seen anyone making GBS threads on the game in this thread, and it's kind of dumb to tell one side to joke about it when the other side can't. Nobody (since the game dropped anyway, I haven't read earlier in the thread than that) has been especially hyperbolic in any sincere way. The people on Twitter have been, but that's Twitter.

Plus, everybody is "parroting" the same few lines because this is a 100+ hour game that has been available for only a day. Of course people are going to focus on the same few lines, that's all anyone has seen.

yea he feels almost antagonistic at some points, which is a kinda neat way to take the character. He always kinda had the vibe of 'this dude loves watching you guys squirm' so it's not a total departure to add a bit more...not quite 'sinister' qualities but somewhere in that realm. Plus it goes well with the whole 'the velvet room is your prison' aesthetic. I still love me some old Igor but this new guy is a-ok by me.

I don't recall anyone in particular in fact the only siblings I even remember being S. Links were like Naoki and it's not like Saki was a date option. If you wanna get technical you could say Elizabeth and Margaret, but that's not like a real option.

No Confidants have a time limit on them like Dojima and Nanako do, anything that ends before the story ends is automatic.
