It is fine, but I wanted to include the first part so I don't get bitched at for taking things out of context.

Difficulty question.

I'm playing on Normal and just finished the first dungeon and it's amazing how brutal it is. To the point where it's slightly tilting me to the "this is too much guys" side of things.

Is this like P4 where the first area is hard and it gets easier to manage as things go on or should I become comfortable with the idea of going to Easy if things get to be too much?

The game gets easier as you go along and your resources become more readily manageable yes.

I played the game on hard and thought that hard was a really good difficulty. When I looked at normal it seemed easy to me :)

So yes, normal gets easier.

This game is pretty great. Only ever played a few in-game months of P4G and I'm a month into P3, but I've loved my ~5 hours with this so far. Kamoshida should die tbh

Fair enough. I keep getting worked if a enemy gets a single attack in and I don't remember it being THAT punishing in P4.

It's been awhile though so eh.

Doesn't help I brute forced myself through the entire dungeon in a single day so I can have more time to hang out with my good friends.*

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

ImpAtom posted:

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.

Thanks, I can live without a 100% the first time around, good to know I can take things relatively casually.

Keep in mind that you will just do more stuff per day than p4, and there's less huge gaps of days just gone. It's more snowbally in benefits between extra stuff you can do on the train and general benefits you get from Confidents that exist now.

Yeah I just always get choice anxiety in these games. Finally got to the point where I'm on my own for the day, so it's good to know I do more stuff per day this time around.

oh poo poo I entirely forgot about him

yeah P3's are generally very forgettable compared to others, featuring "fat kid" and "wierd milf kid"and "french kid" and "athletic kid"

and then in P3P they decided "maybe we should spice things up, let's give our players the choice to be a pedophile or fingerbang a robot"

I mean that unironically, I'm glad that this team of Lupins and Robin Hoods has a support network of equally sketchy but still ultimately decent human beings supporting them, it makes the story a lot stronger and makes me want to do all the S-Links for more than just completion's sake or a reward.

Yeah, for all of P5's little pratfalls in the script so far it's done a really good job of establishing the protag and his friends as people who have in various ways been left down and left behind by "proper" society and are forming their own little niche in that shadow.

Also Morgana's English VA is adorable and I want to pinch his little cheeks.

He is introduced via stalker vision and then decides to be a socially awkward creep who tries to blackmail Ann into posing nude for him so he won't report you and Ryugi to the cops

Yeah I was mad about that too, I'd barely used him before the game was forcing me to do a fusion that involved him. I know you can re-summon but ¥2000 is a lot of money at that point.
