I'm also glad I haven't read/seen a thing about it. I didn't even read the OP.

I've also been avoiding reading much about Persona 5. Part of the fun about P3P and P4 for me were how little I knew about them going in beyond the basic premises and then getting caught up in all of the different systems between the Social Links and the more typical JRPG mechanics for hours upon hours- I'm hoping P5 can recapture that for me.

For a while I thought because I liked P3P and P4 I would like the other SMT games, and I wasn't able to get into any of them.

Like not the even the promise of Dante from the Devil May Cry series was able to keep me engaged through Nocturne.

Looks like my Steelbook is also good, must be because of my maxed Social Link with an Amazon employee.

I still say the worst arc of SAO is Mother's Rosario since its the only time I thought it was biting off more than it even had business trying to chew to begin with. Messing up silly death mmo games is one thing, introducing a brand new character only to have them die of literal, actual AIDS several episodes later is...incongruous, at best.

About three weeks ago I went to take my recycling bin inside from my curb, only to realize that it was gone. There was a full bin in my neighbor's yard, but it was filled with trash that was not mine. The bins of all of our neighbors at this time were empty. I searched high & low across my house and neighborhood for my own bin and could not find it. Later in the day, the bin mysteriously reappeared in my yard, and it was now empty too. I sneaked over to the neighbor's house, and their bin was also empty too.

tithin, what do you supposed happened to my recycling bin for that stretch of time it was missing?

If a movie where Nic Cage hallucinates Laura Palmer as Glinda the Good Witch is bad then frankly there are no good movies.

On a related note if I watch the promotional OVA for Persona 5 before playing the game how spoiled will I be?

There's a big concern in Japan especially of people streaming games just to listen to the music. They take their music copyright super seriously over there.
Huh, that explains why the PS4 Kingdom Hearts games have that weird notice that says something like "STREAMING OUR GAMES IS OKAY BUT NOT IF YOU'RE PRIMARILY DOING IT TO LISTEN TO THE MUSIC!"

I always thought that was a strange thing to include.

Seriously, does a mass party damage move (that I'm fairly sure was a Light attack) that does ~80% damage to everyone, gives me a single turn with one character, then it gets another turn and does it again. Amazingly this was not survivable. Not even counting that it has at least one other physical mass party damage move on its list - just to ensure there's a fair chance it'll pull out one or the other every time it goes.
I forgot what it was like to play one of these games until one of these fucks took my thieves from near full HP to zero with two of those party attacks back to back. Fucker had just barely survived an All Out too.

I'm trying to finish this first dungeon in a single day but the lack of SP is killing me.

Hey good luck Levantine. I banged my head against that same part for a few hours today since I was adamant about clearing that part of the dungeon in one day. I had to use all of my healing and SP restoratives but eventually I did it, so I bet you can too.

Some of those enemies are rough though, especially if they get a lucky crit.

Guts seems like a weird stat to me in these games. Like I'm not brave enough to tell a guy to apologize to Ryuji for daring to cut him in line but I can travel to an alternative dimension and fight hoards of demons?

Personally I just hope that this game doesn't end with lol I'm some demonic god who wants to destroy the world and you'll fight me now.

I thought it was a bit dumb in P4 and to a lesser extent P3 when they abandoned the intimate, more personal scale of those games for apocalyptic threats, and I suspect I won't like it here either if the game becomes about that (And it seems like it will based on some things I've heard Igor say so far). Hopefully I'm wrong or at least that it will be integrated better.

One thing I think this game may have benefited from is the list of when people get actions from Final Fantasy X.

Like there are moments in P5 where a regular enemy will get like three moves in a row without critical hits and frankly I'm not sure how I was supposed to be able to predict that.

The conversations as you're running around Mementos are kind of like those. I liked Yusuke just offhandedly mentioning he donated blood the other day and stuff like that.

Tales style skits would be good too though.
