Have you accepted The Void as your lord and savior?

I did it in a day, but I did redeem Izanagi which let me save SP. Everyone ended up around LV15 by the boss so even at LV20 the advantage wasn't much.

I hit the tower at level 9 and had to restart after the sucker door at the bottom. I didn't even know about the free 0-cost personas and I'm very tempted to roll back the last few hours because I don't know if I can clear it from the halfway point where I last saved. :/

Ryuji is too good a boy to say gently caress but also too rude a boy to not say something. Please understand.

To me a Persona game is about trying to manage time effectively, failing horribly, still getting a decent amount of S.Links and then using a guide for a second playthrough.

My ability to remember all the conditional special days for poo poo in this game is not good. The only ones that have stuck are: Always have 5000 yen and visit the Shibuya station on Sundays for a time slot free stat boost (but expensive monetarily), and that mondays and thursdays at night the bathhouse has that good herb poo poo going on and you get an extra charm point for going there. But there's like special meals and like half the goddamn places in the game have special poo poo going on if it's raining and you can only buy that loving YAKISOBA BREAD on Fridays and jesus christ goddamn it gently caress

By the way everyone should go and watch movies all the time forever they're great

For all I dislike its music man is Mementos great for getting gear. So great. It's random as poo poo but I got an accessory with med Wind evade which immediately went onto Ryuji, and some nice upgrades to armor for everyone. I guess it does take a day to go there but whatever you can actually get a lot done in there in a day without even needing to ration SP that bad.

Most schools in Japan don't have 6 day school weeks anymore, it was phased out in the late 90s/early 2000s. These days it's mostly really high bar private schools that have class on saturday, most others just open for clubs with no actual classes. The reason persona still has them is probably because the people making them grew up with 6 day school weeks.

So the Temperance link is weird as gently caress.

... is the maid service just a thinly veiled prostitution thing where they also sometimes just clean or walk your dog instead/in addition?



As a side note, its hilarious you are more circumspect about your digital/cell trail in regards to calling a maid company than you are about communicating with your super illegal group who's being investigated, by my last count, by five different organizations.

No, Japan is just... Weird. I mean I'm sure you could find one that fits your description but they also totally have women who will dress up as french maids and come to your house JUST to clean your stuff. Because JAPAN.

That's the most realistic element of this game tbh.

I don't like how Igor and his creepy twins keep pushing "make contacts to get more powerful!" all the time. In P4 it felt more like you were just a friendly guy and the power was a side-effect, I definitely prefer that vibe.

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

Pretty much, yeah. All the bitching about bitching makes me think there's something to it. Actually, it's one of the reasons I'm waiting on more impressions and not immediately diving into the game.

I feel like all the name mispronunciation is going to become a plot element or something, I mean I can understand voice actors unfamiliar with Japanese pronunciation putting emphasis on particular syllables when there shouldn't be any, but how do you mispronounce "Ann" as "on"

Because, as has already been mentioned repeatedly, they were directed to do that by the director. And also, way more importantly, Atlus Japan.

Because her name is あん. Also, the pronunciation of "Sakamoto" is technically correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_pitch_accent

Honestly, I'm kinda torn on whether this is acceptable, or not a good idea. On the one hand, it's confusing to non-Japanese speakers. On the other hand, technical correctness v:shobon:v

Oh alright, I didn't even know this was a thing. I took Japanese 101 as my required foreign language credit in college and that's it; they basically told us "no emphasis on syllables ever" and I just figured that went for all of Japan. That makes the weird name pronunciation more tolerable.
