Talking about Iwai, his shop menu music is low key the best in the game.

He also kicks off the Kawakami subplot too by being a perv.

IS the post game, new game+ type of deal where you keep your gear or is it a completely different playthrough? I want to try it on harder difficulty eventually. Also too bad Atlus doesn't release any of their games on PC, would definitely double dip for this. Japan's PC gaming scene is nonexistant I guess, unless you count eroges.

Finally finished this game this past weekend. Pretty fun romp, really enjoyed the hell out of this dumb anime teenager simulator. If not for NieR:Automata it would probably be my GOTY! The ending ruled, summoning in Satanael just to have it blow the final boss away with a well-placed headshot was some PlatinumGames level poo poo, and the cheesy moment with all of your confidants calling out to you to offer support was pretty touching. I like the bittersweet final scene--it's implied that the MC will remain close with everyone even if he doesn't live close by anymore, which is cool. Even Sojiro tears up over you leaving, but he's way too cool to show it haha. Random question, pre-final boss: do your confidant ranks have any bearing on the ending, short of just not having people show up in the cutscenes? I was super worried about Haru in the Velvet Room since I didn't max her out and it kinda implied that not improving those bonds would make them not want to keep fighting, would be pretty hosed up but cool if lower ranks meant they had a chance to just sit and sulk for the rest of the game. Welp, on to New Game+ I guess. Looking forward to maxing out the other confidants, especially Iwai. Sad I didn't get to see how his story played out.

HaB posted:Speaking of NG+ - what transfers over? Do you keep all your confidant ranks? No, but when you talk to everyone on the last day you get a gift if you reached max confidant rank with them. This lets you use some of their higher level bonuses once you start the Confidant again though the confidant itself is reset. So as soon as you start the Confidant with Tae you get access to the full shop, Sojiro's lets you make coffee and curry from day 1 etc. Here's the full list https://segmentnext.com/2017/04/06/persona-5-new-game-plus-guide/

So, your party members get their awakened personas, Strength lets you purchase higher-level fusions, etc. Futaba also gave me one that lets me rank her up "faster" if I have a Hermit equipped because I dated her, not sure if that means Hermit = Auto Level Up or if you just get more points for good responses. I hope it's the former because I very much want to encourage her savage owning of Mishima.

Steve2911 posted:Why does every single anime cutscene have to focus on the bodies of teenage girls and Ryuji making honka-honka moves? I feel like all the group scenes in P5 kinda fall flat to me. Basically whenever the group is all hanging out and not on a mission they spend their time either complaining about not having another mission yet or just kinda suck... I kinda view this as their group not really having a great group friendship. Like the MC is friends with pretty much everyone, but get the group together and things get a little awkward. Its kinda like how in P3 you basically just start as coworkers. P4 meanwhile is funny and most of the group scenes are at least amusing.

The issue with Persona 5 is generally, I believe, that it's too tightly-wound for its own good. Too many days of nothing but cutscenes in a row, not enough days of freedom outside of the big deadline blocks, too much information fed to us via text conversation instead of more dynamic group scenes, etc. There's just too much they needed to convey and not enough space in the game for it.

List of characters I liked in P4: Naoto List ends I really prefer the P3 way of handling things, where you aren't a group of Super Best Friends, until you actually grow that way by fighting through hosed up stuff together. While I liked the characters in P5 a lot, I do agree that they messed up a bit by trying to combine the P3 "group of people who share a goal" with P4 "you are all instantly best friends" so the dynamic feels a bit weak

Naoto is incredibly boring That's not fair, actually. It's more that the game around her gets really serious and starts to focus a lot more on her, and she's probably the least interesting member of the cast who isn't Yukiko, so she can't really support it.

I wanted more scenes of the group or members hanging out and not discussing the plot. P4G had that in spades and it went a long way towards helping ease the pacing of the game. Likewise with the text conversations, they definitely didn't use that to its fullest. I wanted it to be more like TMS's.  Now imagine that with Ann and Makoto.

Ya this has been one of my main gripes with it. I understand they want to make you feel like your in game time is really valuable and make the friendship matter more but it just gets annoying. Until you get your personal slave in which case you can tell her to cook bombs for you while you play video games with your cat.

I liked Yosuke. Also I brought Ryuji to a theme park and everyone thought we were on a date. It owned.

I'm getting into late October now and poo poo just got real. I have started maxing a few Confidants - Ryuji, Mishima and Tora. I need to work on my party members a bit more though.

Beat the game  Could definitely see myself going back for a plat if I didn't have a bunch of other games I want to play right now, but it didn't quite grab me enough to push them back. Doing dungeons again would be a hell of a slog, too. Maybe later (probably not later). Still, I'd probably put it ahead of BotW in my top games of 2017.

In the end I don't know how much different my opinion of the game would be had I played on normal/hard (as the repetitiveness and length of dungeons would have been so much worse), but it would have been nice to really have to invest in the combat system instead of steamrolling everything.

It's crazy how much longer this game actually is than P4G. I've almost put in the same number of hours as I put in to get to the last (non-true-ending) boss of P4G and it's not many more than I've put into P5 just up to early September. I couldn't even pinpoint where that extra time comes from. Are there just more group chats peppered throughout the game?

A pretty significant chunk of my playtime in 5 is from me dicking around on my phone and forgetting to advance dialogue during the slow stretches.

Some of it also comes from the dungeons and mementos. They're longer than the 4 equivalents.

I think you might have had to invest more into better personas on normal but tbh normal is pretty easy as well. So I am wondering how easy, easy and safe are. I totally understand playing on Easy. I normally go on harder difficulties but there are some games where I don't really care about the gameplay or just wanna zone out so I bump down the difficulty.

I played through P4G on hard my first play through and crushed it. I tried to play through p5 my first play through on hard and I had to give up and put it on normal. I don't know if it's because the palaces are longer than the dungeons and there's less ways early on to exploit the system (shuffle time was sooo great), but I wasted so much time doing the first palace and was miserable about it. My overall experience with this game would have been better to play on normal all the way through the first time.

Went hard and did the first dungeon on that difficulty with like 3 days left. It was a horrible experience and I went on normal after. I think on hard you pretty much need to use every checkpoint to take a break especially early on when SP is so hard to come by.
