"Amala, I've got a chainsaw on my arm. I'll be fine."
I accidentally spoiled Persona 4's killer for my friend today. He's taken two years to beat Persona 4 Golden but I still feel bad about it. It was during an impassioned conversation about how good Persona 5 is.

I thought Persona 4's music was pretty good but I am in love with P5's soundtrack and will probably be listening to it for weeks, if not months to come.

Like, the soundtrack has so many choice cuts that they could burn a track like this on the main menu screen which most people will button through in five seconds

And honestly most of Persona 4's awakening scenes were like, "That's cool I guess" but all of Persona 5's are brilliant and like half of it is this track

Tell me which costume/music pack to buy because I am incapable of making decisions on my own. I'm going to wait until the postgame to buy any of the new Personas since I'm not carrying anything over into my NG+ Mericless run for maximum suffering but a there's a couple real cool looking ones that I might get just for aesthetics

I bought P3/4, Catherine, and Raidou. All good costumes and games I've completed.

Persona 4's OST is generally better than 5's for BGM, barring a couple of standout tracks from 5 but everything else about it is worse.

The weird part to me is that a lot of those battles were actually pretty tough (on Hard anyway), and they just forced a character you'd never used before into your party without Baton Pass. So instead of feeling "Yeah! Yusuke's awesome!" I was thinking "Screw you Yusuke! Get out of the way and let the pros handle it!" Which I think is the wrong emotion for that track.

On one hand I really like how Persona 4 has different tracks depending on the weather. Really sets the mood.

On the other, Persona 4's "this is a powerful boss" theme (The Almighty) suuuuuuuucks while Rivers In The Desert is in competition for best song in the series:

The Almighty isn't the 'powerful boss' theme, it only plays during Ameno Sagiri. The powerful boss theme is New World Fool (played during Adachi and Namatame). Also, I like The Almighty.

You right. If they cut out the intro (which is good but not battle material) it would be an amazing theme.

I remember liking Persona 1 Portable (I beat the old Revelation Persona release when it came out) and even got the DLC for 1, but man I can't wear the costume for one for very long. Loney Prayer wouldn't be a bad battle theme if the song wasn't so short.

None of the Persona 3/4/5 battle themes annoy me no matter how many times I hear them, even through the original Persona 3 battle theme and Making History are probably my least favorite ones for those games. Mass Destruction is a good song, but it doesn't feel like a battle theme. I always thought Burn My Dread could been the main battle theme before Wipe Them Out from Portable.

Akechi and Ryuji's PS4 themes both use Phantom, I think. Most of the others use the instrumental version of Behind the Mask.

I'm using the Velvet Room one right now, it's pretty great.

I'm not trying to be confrontational, but given that the average length seems to be 90-100 hours, I'm really curious as to how it's possible to beat it in 70 on a normal playthrough.

Did you skip cutscenes or spend no time doing social links or...?

Not including the ones you automatically end up getting maxed out. I ended up with max on Makoto, the Dr, Teacher, Futaba, the Shogi player and the Politician.(the annoying fanboy also who I spent all my time mugging off)

I had max on all social skills apart from proficiency which I had 4 in.

I even screwed up a few dungeons and did a few mementos missions. I didn't think 70 was special I'll check it again incase I've been a bell end and got the wrong time.

I tend to read through things fairly fast didn't skip any cutscenes

(Ps: I also skipped quite a few battles I did not really explore the dungeons fully, I used a guide for the twins)

I wouldn't be surprised if clicking through all the voiced lines as you read them (instead of waiting for the actor to finish speaking) shaves off a few hours.

My wife does this and I can't understand it. The voice work in this game is really good.

I always click through all the dialogue I can because I can read way faster than it's voiced, and since about 40 of the ~70 I played it for were remote on my Vita with the sound off it made no difference.

I have no strong opinions one way or the other about how good or bad the voice acting is.
