Yeah, I have that paper demon dude and he’s saved my rear end a few times by giving me a “lol you can’t hurt me” option. Also, I fuckin hate Morgana. Not even the “you need to go to bed” aspect, he’s just so smug an obnoxious about how smart he is. Then he’ll immediately do the dumbest poo poo he can whenever he can. And then he’s right back to making GBS threads on ryuji. I’m only on the part right after the fourth palace, so I really hope he gets knocked down a peg. At some point soon.

Arist posted:The issue is that without the group chats there's legitimately nowhere to put a lot of that dialogue because the game's calendar is overstuffed as it is. Persona 4 was a lot more leisurely paced (and better paced, imo) so they could put group meetings whenever they wanted. And by like the third dungeon they should stop with the constant “did we change their heart? I don’t know guys!”. It’s obnoxious getting like five of those a palace when you know the answer is “yes”.

Ulio posted:Man this game is slow at parts especially in between palaces sometimes. I know it is suppose to just be daily school stuff but nothing interesting happens there. That wouldn’t even be so bad if it wouldn’t take away all your time blocks between dungeons most of the time. You don’t get to make any choices, you’re just hitting x til the game lets you play it again.

God drat I love the dungeon section of the game, and I also like the s links, but poo poo I wish there was a way to cut out the weeks of loving bullshit. I got SMT IV the other day for the dungeon crawling aspect, but hooooo boy are those more difficult than P5.

Natural 20 posted:Just got this. Anything I should know as I start? I've never played Persona before and I know if I miss out on an early secret I'll get all salty when I realise I did. Spells that hit everything with an element are great for determining weaknesses against mixed groups. You can draw on the classroom chalkboard for free guts points. Savor the dungeons, they’re the best part of the game.

Zore posted:Oh yeah, social stats are important too as they can gate certain confidants. Make sure you always have a book from the library on you, some days you'll be able to read on the train to school without actually spending any blocks of time and they give some nice social stat boosts. The baths are a solid choice for Tuesday and Thursdays Also, mementos is a better source of treasure demons than having a high security alert level in a palace.

Hunt11 posted:My biggest issue with Morgana is that he loves dishing out poo poo but has a much harder time taking it. And he will always do the dumbest poo poo in the world after talking about how smart he is. Like setting off that alarm in the second palace because he saw something shiny.

Gaius Marius posted:This drove me nuts, he shits on ryuji for months straight. Ryuji says one thing back and he sulks off. Go gently caress yourself I'll decide when I'm tired you stupid cat. The fact you don’t have a “Go gently caress off, you Pinocchio-rear end motherfucker” option when he comes back is a major issue.

BlackFrost posted:I'm very near the end of this game and ended up liking it a lot more than I expected to. I generally hate JRPGs but everything about this game, from its art style to its slick battle system, really drew me in. I'm probably gonna jump right in NG+ to get the extra hidden stuff and finish up the remaining Confidants I didn't manage to finish this time around. SMT is all about the dungeons and is much harder. 5 had me pick up SMTIV on the DS and it’s a real kick in the dick sometimes, but I like it.

Steve2911 posted: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. 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.

Good Lord Fisher! posted:Yeah she's a really good all-rounder. Of course the actual thing to do is just max Mishima and Hifumi's S. Links ASAP so you can swap between her and Morgana on the fly if one of them's low on SP without losing out on EXP. There really is no need not to be constantly swapping all your party members around in fights tbh. Futaba's lvl 9 perk to auto-swap out 2 downed party members for 2 freshies is pretty sweet for the odd emergency situation too, not that you'll likely have any need of that safety net by the time you get her link to 9 That would be so much better if Mishima’s S. Link meet ups were all just giving him a swirly. God drat he’s annoying.

Azran posted:For me it's the fact he's constantly making GBS threads on Ryuji for basically no good reason most of the time. Also the dumb Mementos chase. Yeah, he always tells Ryuji he’s stupid and can’t do anything right, and then follows it up by loving up spectacularly, like when he sets off the alarm in the second palace. And he won’t shut up about becoming a real human again. gently caress that Pinocchio-rear end motherfucker.

Digirat posted:FWIW I don’t think morgana needs a good reason not to like ryuji, sometimes conflict between people is as simple as abrasion between different personalities, but it comes up so randomly between them that it feels really weird and forced; unlike yusuke and futaba’s dislike for each other which feels a bit less forced and is actually a nice little angle to their characters Also something as small as a character bring up to Morgana that he rags on Ryuji for being a dumbass while constantly doing dumber poo poo would have made it way less frustrating. As it is it feels like the game just expects you to agree with Morgana for like no reason.

It’s a shame that P5R isn’t coming to the switch because I’d really like to actually finish the game this time and it being portable would help with that substantially, and these changes all sound awesome.

Dawgstar posted:The Switch version does seem to be what gets talked about the most, but far as I can tell it's definitely coming to the PS4. I think the Switch version just comes up the most because of the baffling desicion to only port P5S to the Switch instead of doing that and P5R. Which is still mind boggling, like, the Switch is the perfect console for Persona and there's never been a statement for why they aren't doing it.

Infinity Gaia posted:Man, if you believe the internet the Switch is the perfect console for everything. It's such a non-statement these days. I actually don’t like my switch that much these days but it would work really well with letting me absentmindedly hit next during those giant stretches where there’s nothing but giant blocks of (usually repetitive) dialogue after a palace while I do something else.

Endorph posted:switch has pretty bad load times generally compared to disc based games, its something i noticed in a fair few games. seems like just an issue of the hardware. maybe its the weird carts they use, though traditionally carts have been better about load times, not worse The read speed I see for a switch using a MicroSD card is slower than even a platter drive by a fair amount. 80 MB/sec is slow as hell.
