Dungeon 4 doesn't either.

I actually appreciated the break in Dungeon 2, meant I could be a lot more lax about my SP usage. I actually wish all of them had mid-breaks like that, but obviously balance the S.Links around it.

They're already balanced around dungeons taking multiple days. You have to beat the curve to finish them all on a fresh save.

Japanese Futaba has a running gag that's a reference to some anime nerd meme that doesn't work in English, and I'm very excited to see how the hell they got themselves out of that one.

i want to romance sadayo because she has good hair and just wants to get paid, which is the kind of initiative i like in a girl

edit: also with the engine and stuff hammered out I wouldn't be surprised to see a fairly quick turnaround on a P6. The director of P3-P5 is working on a new fantasy RPG now and brought some of the Persona staff with him to that project, but they could get some fresh blood in.

Part of P5 is one of the best life sim games that's ever been made, and I'd really like to see them try making a game that was nothing but that, even more than Persona 6.

The game probably could have stood to have a couple less dungeons in general, really, but considering how many different balls it has to juggle in terms of pace and tuning, it's pretty impressive that it works as well as it does.

Honestly, having a dedicated Navigator at all at that point feels like a step-back. Morgana can pull double-duty and he doesn't even have a really cool UFO!

What doesn't help is with how each game puts the navigator recruit further and further in, it seems less and less likely to occur at face value. Fuuka was the second real Full Moon plot beat, Rise was the start of the midgame and now Futaba is approaching the end of it. I genuinely expect in a hypothetical P6 the "upgraded" navigator will be the last party member you get since that's the only way they can be a later addition now.

I wonder what it would be like if the navigator was a full party member that you could control directly, but they didn't have a physical presence on the battlefield.

Merciless is meant for NG+, for the record. I don't think it stops you from using it on your first run, but I really don't recommend it.

Yeah idk either but I've seen it in multiple places

It sounds like something that was translated from Japanese, and Meguro uses what I assume is the same phrase in his commentary in the liner notes. I imagine it's a working title, or maybe something someone cooked up to conceal that there's a non-instrumental version.

The Sojiro rank that requires Kindness 5 to initiate gives you Kindness at the end of the cutscene.

I'm beginning to wonder if they hosed up some of the stat requirements by accident or something.

My assumption is that they were messing around with the stat requirements and rewards right up until the end of development, and a few inconsistencies slipped through. Weird that they didn't patch it, though.

Oh, right. That's certainly more elegant. Obviously, the only solution is to put every classroom on the same-numbered floor. I concede that this means Japanese primary schools would need six floors.

True story: the first experience of international culture clash that I can remember is asking my mum why the kids on the Simpsons don't wear school uniforms.

I boot Persona 5 up and before I even get to the title screen it tells me to "press start". What? That is absolute nonsense. Why didn't the box have this disclaimer and requirement on it when I purchased it? Why wasn't there some sort of warning that I had to agree to this unheard of requirement before I could play the game?

ive heard in japan its illegal to have a real person in your game without their permission unless they're so ancient that nobody cares. even if you made it, like, ahinzo sbe, mrime-pinister of pajan it'd still count. i don't actually know if that's true, though, those kinds of warnings might just be a cultural thing.

It's definitely not just a Japanese thing, but they're usually in the credits, rather than being presented upfront.

Cue the 'actually the age of consent in japan...' crew.

A little late, but I want to add to this for any of those age-of-consent rules lawyers who might be reading. If you genuinely don't know why people make fun of you for this, and don't want to ask in case people get the wrong impression (which they might), I'll tell you: there's a world of difference between what's technically not illegal and what's actually okay, and it's genuinely pretty insulting to people who happen to live in places with a lower age of consent to suggest that we think they're the same thing.

I can leave the trophies for another playthrough but the links are not optional for me. Not even once.

The more I see comments like this, the more I think it would have been a good idea to make it impossible to finish every link in a single run, so people didn't do that to themselves.

Joker actually sounds charismatic and has a booming voice in JP whereas he sounds like a generic guy in English, so yeah. Most of the dub is fine though.

Pretty much all I remember from the Japanese VO is Joker telling Shadows to show him their true form, and Futaba telling Morgana to aim properly. If 50% of the lines I remember are his, I guess that must mean it was a good performance?

Atlus themselves even said the game was gonna have a lot of heavy japanese culture, a few of the other games have also had a number of heavy Japan culture stuff as well, no idea why its a problem now, maybe if it had been obscure meme questions they'd be praising it to the hills.

No, you don't understand. This Japanese game can't have Japanese facts in it. What if it makes Americans feel stupid?
