If you think about it in reality though imagine you were out at a nice restaurant and a dude who was as brash and annoying as Ryuji was claiming he was a Phantom Thief. Seems like most people would just ignore it or assume he is trying to play himself up. I think that's actually part of the most interesting part, everyone assumes there are essentially super heroes out there but it's just a bunch of regular people banding together to cover each others weaknesses. Wow this game is going to make me have an existential crisis.

Pretty much, Ryuji's loud mouth isn't that much of an issue earlier on because, with a few notable exceptions, anyone who overhears him are just going to file it in their bulging "things that idiot teens say" folder and move on. Post-Dungeon 5 it's a bit more of a liability.

If setting the Sustain Level in the ENV to around 7, you can obtain a howling sound.

At what point does this game start? My buddy and I are 2 hours into the game and so far we've watched about a half hour of anime, got lost in the Tokyo subway, and hung out with a cat on our way to school.

Neither of us has played a persona game so far. Does the 'real game' start up soon or is this pretty much how it goes?

I'm 15 hours into the game and the whole thing has been on rails basically so far. Unbelievable. I'm a Persona vet but they've really missed the mark with this one.

I'm curious what part of the game you're at, because I'd really struggle to describe where I was at 15 hours in on rails.

You're exaggerating a bit but chop that number in half and that's basically every Persona's intro since 3 - 5 isn't special in that regard. If you buy into the world it shouldn't be a chore.

It actually is a headband. The real question is how did she find a headband that matches her hair color exactly?

It was originally a nice shade of teal. She glared at it until it changed into the color she wanted.

It must be uncomfortable to have the elastic pulling into her throat all day. Even if it's not strong, it'd still be annoying.

That elastic at the bottom of the hairband kinda bothers me because I have no idea how it'd work without being visible. I mean it probably isn't, but still.

The game definitely has several hours of hand holding because its a pretty big game with alot of different things to explain but by 15 hours you should be pretty firmly in the driver's seat.

Legitimately my favorite part of the Zero Punctuation review of this game was that when he was saying how much he genuinely wanted to see what happened next with the plot, it was accompanied by an image of his cartoon avatar playing the game and saying "Oh Mishima you Nelly". Because it meant that he truly understood why this game is a good one, and that's dunking on Mishima whenever you have the chance.

The real ones are too expensive on ebay, she had to buy a knockoff commemorative one at the general store.
