I both love and hate this game's extremely in your face and extreme approach to UI and text boxes. At least it's something new!

Terper posted:Yes, but hold off on doing it. A Confidant reward makes it take no time. These kind of comments are what make normal people dread playing Persona games, you know. It kills my interest in the game to think that I "should be" min-maxing to the point that, no, I can't spare one afternoon's game time to possibly get a really good armor, I really should ignore that feature of the game completely until I can cheese it.

Jimbot posted:Just play it normally the first time through. What no one tells you is that Persona is the best kind of NG+ game because you get your deathgod Personas and your stats to carry over. So you can focus on hanging with your pals while cruising through the dungeons and not worrying about raising your stats. And the stuff you missed on your first game is right there to be discovered so it feels like a completely different game. No I know that, the issue is that not everyone is prepared to play a 100 hour JRPG twice  I've got a backlog here!I just finished the first palace and didn't know I could even buy plant food, is my plant already doomed?

I'm at the third palace, about 30 hours in, and tempted to restart because I never realized I could feed my plant. And also I'm tempted to min-max a few other stupid things I did like taking 4 days to do the first Palace. JRPG prollems

Teddie's English VA is what killed him. When I played through Golden with the Japanese voices it wasn't nearly so bad. I'm playing P5 in Japanese too maybe that's why I don't find Morgana annoying

Every time I hear that ticking clock and it fast forwards to the interview room I keep waiting for Phoenix Wright to burst in and keep being sad when he doesn't. Alternately I keep waiting for a "uh where's my lawyer?" dialogue option and since there hasn't been one I've been picking "......." every single time, I hope the game acknowledges I ain't no snitch

Pollyanna posted:Eh, I kinda understand where they're coming from on a few of these. That one about the part-time worker is dead on and correct, while the one about Ann is pretty inconsequential. The stuff about scattered dialogue in particular is something I picked up on and it bothered me quite a bit. The rest are somewhat nitpicky but valid concerns that are worth discussing. I side with the site writer on most things, though I wouldn't call the translation a failure by any stretch of the imagination. Yeah well I mean, the site can't even muster up 20 legitimate problems without resorting to calling a dropped comma "absolute gibberish" ("You might have done a variety of things in hiding in your hometown" is the phrase, and it's entirely comprehensible even without the comma)

Oxxidation posted:It's an incredibly mangled sentence even if it's comprehensible. "You (sir or ma'am) may have done a variety of things in hiding (in secret) in your hometown (where you are from)"? I mean, sure I've read and enjoyed William Burroughs but I'm pretty sure it's still only "a little awkward" and nowhere near "incredibly mangled". But fine, how about another horrible translation betrayal according to that site: "At least we avoided the worst-case scenario of being reported arbitrarily." The site's only comment on this is "People just don't talk like that". What? Yes they do? Or they might? What?

Pollyanna posted:I sure don't. "At least we didn't get reported for no reason." Look, I'm just saying it's really silly to make such a big deal and then not even be able to produce 20 examples that are objectively errors. You might not think those two examples sound good but that is a far cry from making a flashy website about how they represent Atlus "failing fans". Oxxidation posted:They don't. Not remotely. "Being reported arbitrarily" isn't a phrase that exists in conversational English, and it pairs poorly with "worst-case scenario." Again, you're talking about personal preference and not actual errors. Like, I just imagined someone with a Southern drawl in a Coen Bros. movie saying "You may have done a variety of things... in hiding... in your hometown..." and it sounds great. You should try it.

Pollyanna posted:This conversation is interesting to literally nobody except people who care about translation work like me so the point is moot anyway. There's clearly a common threshold where The Mattering takes place and we haven't quite hit that. Yeah, sorry, it's just I'm a writer and have been in some variety of writing field since I was 19 so I probably am more forgiving. If you guys think those sentences are bad, dear God, never work in writing!

Moltrey posted:Sticking to conversational English is such a weird thing to tie yourself too because no one speaks correctly 100% of the time, we mumble, we stutter, we pick words we don't exactly mean to continue to the flow of conversation, our sentences are all over the place, it's a mess The amount of information that has to be conveyed vs. the available amount of time to convey it without being boring is insanely hard to juggle and it's one reason there are far more novelists than screenwriters.

I think it's slightly bullshit that you can't hang out with your new party members until you beat the dungeon you get them in, because not having Baton Pass is making me wonder if I shouldn't have Makoto on the squad 24/7 e: "It can't be helped" is a regular human phrase, I had never heard until literally just now that anyone associated it with video games

Waffleman_ posted:There really should be a safe room right at the beginning of the second half of Palace 3. I know there's one a bit further in, but I was running on fumes for a fair bit and had to get outta there. What hosed me up was how in Palace 4 your party keeps saying "We're not even halfway yet!" until you're literally at the second to last Safe Room of the dungeon. I wasn't trying to do it in one day (I've been doing them all in 2 days) so I kept using SP items. When I came back in to finish it I was pretty mad because I totally could have done it in one day if I'd known

I actually thought Shadow Hearts was a mild hit at the time, I certainly bought it just off the box art and could have sworn a lot of people owned it. My memory is that it's actually a super good JRPG in that it's really simple and not hard at all to play, no bullshit ultimate/hidden weapon stuff (or if there is, it's not bad/necessary IIRC), the plot and translation are easy to follow, dungeons and towns look great and are pretty easy to navigate. The only thing I didn't like much was the timing minigame on EVERYTHING YOU DO but it wasn't HARD, just repetitive. It's kind of like the opposite of Koudelka, in the sense that Koudelka was almost Unlimited Saga levels of bizarre gameplay.

It's so weird when Japan's extreme conservatism shows up in games like this. Like OH NO THERE ARE ONLY TWO FULL SIZE BEDS SURELY A BOY AND GIRL COULDN'T JUST SLEEP IN THEIR CLOTHES IN THE SAME BED or OH NO TWO GUYS CAN'T SHARE A BED Like holy poo poo you guys, I was in high school a lot longer ago than this game and let me tell you about drama club field trips e: also how everyone is like YOU CAN'T DRINK you're JUST A KID meanwhile in Actual Japan high school girls get paid to go on dates with middle aged men AND THAT'S LEGAL

Kay Kessler posted:I think that has more to do with a) The writers of the Persona series are a bunch of old guys whose own high school experiences are a bit outdated, and b) characters' reactions being exaggerated for the sake of comedy - another example being the hot springs scenes in 3 and 4. I'm probably older than the writers!

You really don't need the SP Adhesives until at least palace 5. Source: I beat up to palace 4 in 2 days per palace with absolutely no trouble at all before I even knew she sold them. Had to use some soda SP drinks but that's it. Just make sure you don't have Joker always Do The Thing.
