Same boat, seriously stressing it right now. It's been sitting at shipping now all day Monday.

Played Catherine recently and this looks near identical. Improved in detail and animations somewhat here, but it's really close.

Nah man you have free time.
That is why I think it's advisable to just always do dungeons as fast as possible so that you can have more free time to do whatever. Dungeons can also have gimmick that will force you to return to the real world and waste days before you are being allowed to proceed, not to mention this time you are being forced to use at least 3 days for the dungeon to be fully completed, unlike previous games where you can just blitz in one day if necessary.

You don't lose your time when you beat a dungeon early on. You'll still have your time to do stuff. So you'll be fine.
Just some dramatic monologue, nothing much.
You mean the short cutscene where
Arsene is sacrificed for fusion? Nothing really important, he just mentioned how he will sacrifice his power bla bla and that he will always be by your side. You can summon him again whenever you want from the Velvet Room (at level 1 though)

Basically "I am gone now but I will always stay in your heart."
I if you overlook some pronunciations, then it's a very well done English dub. I had a line that was interrupted rather quickly though, I guess it was very fast one in Japanese and the English VA took too much time to say it in English. -But other than that, it's pretty amazing I think.
On another note, I couldn't download the Japanese Dub for the PS3 version(only PS4 was to be found in the PSN store). I hope there is one, wanted to use it for my second playthrough, can anyone confirm that?

This is missing too many subtitles when using the JP voices.
Way too many.
Way too many.
1- There is no official name for the MC at the moment, the closest one is the one you mention from the manga
2- Copying a previous post of mine, some beginner tips (spoiler-free):
- Press square to auto-heal in a dungeon
- Normal difficulty provides a fair amount of challenge, you have to play smart if don't want to get wiped by "easy" mobs
- The game is completely on rails during the first 5-6 hours, then you are free to roam
- SP is the main limitation during the first dungeon, so try not to abuse SP-dependent skills (normal melee attacks deal a nice amount of damage)
- Extorting enemies for money or items is the fastest way to finish battles against tough enemies (you won't earn much experience though)
- Focus on getting one Persona of each element early on
- You can safely sell all the items marked as "treasure" for tons of money
- Use guns against flying enemies
3- It seems so based on other people's experience
I get your point, however I would be really surprised if even the strongest foes would be a problem on easy mode though. -I sure hope that won't be the case, I'm not someone that wants to play a game on the hardest difficulty and I don't have a problem to switch to easy if I die and lose my progress up until a safe spot...
I don't remember it to be that slow though(P4Golden might have been better paced, played P4 PS2 ages ago) or you could do much more, it feels very scripted at the moment and limits everything you can do in your... well... unavailable free time. I feel like I'm playing the game wrong, wasting time like that rather than building up stats for my MC.
Managed to talk 4 personas in a row into serving me. Fees good haha.
These persona negotiations are keeping me on my toes.
Edit:
P4's intro is notoriously long. I'm pretty sure it was the same for P4G too? I don't remember them shortening it.

Wait what? Bugged how? I saw people say it was confusing to switch to it but it worked. Did something else happen?
Yeah, I suppose we'll see! I don't mind using free time to grind since I know I'll be doing NG+ asap anyway for that sweet, sweet 100% SL completion, so I guess I'll just grind it out if I run into a wall lol.
It's definitely available on various European PSN stores. As a matter of fact I downloaded it from the Dutch PSN last night. The Japanese dub size is 2.7GB.
On Normal or above? Probably. However if you level up the

Be warned though that some of the dungeons in this game are big.
Thanks a bunch! I really appreciate it ^^
Okay, that's a relief, perhaps it wasn't there as it was the 3rd of April yesterday and only the PS4 dub was added before launch.

Even some TV reports here aren't subtitled. It's a mess.

I preordered the game a long time ago, I thought I was getting it this week... turns out I've putted my parents' home address instead of mine...
I guess I'll play it in 2 weeks :'(

Ohh, thought it was a bug at first, then thought they just subbed main dialogue only. Thankfully I can catch the basic terms and gist of the news (for now!) but full sub would've been ideal.

Sucks to hear about the JP DLC being bugged. I downloaded it, but I could not find *any* way for it to work in-game. It didn't show up in my config at all before starting a new game.
It seems like I may have dodged a bullet though. On the bright side, I'm two hours in and the English dub is pretty great so far.

I don't speak Japanese so I can't speak to how awkward the original writing might have been, but this localization feels super clunky. I'm sure everyone has pointed out the beginning's "please take care of me" direct translation line but there's a BUNCH of stuff here that feels like it's missing one or two punch-up passes. It has the cadence of awkward literal translation in so many places.

Like (early spoiler)
"they're serious to kill us"
That's how it was in the earlier games too. Do you keep anything if you rewind, btw?
Like I wonder if it'd be possible to grind by repeating the same 7 days over and over again. Sounds too good to be true, tbh.
Mine is arriving today!! SO EXCITED!
It reached the carrier facility of my city yesterday (was hoping for an early delivery but oh well)

About 1.5 or 2 hours in (not really a spoiler):
"Where were you roaming around until this time?"

That "please take care of me" made me go 'wait, what?'
I understood it because of the sheer volume of animes that I've watched, but that was messy.

Let's see if the post office brings my copy today to work, and they don't invent horrible excuses this time.
Yesterday they told me they came to my office, but they weren't sure if they had to ship there so instead of making a phone call for confirmation, they left. I got the phone call after lunch and after confirming it, they said they would bring it today. If I don't get it this time, and they give me another excuse, like that I wasn't there of whatever, I will ask them to give me the claim forms.

The PS3 game itself isn't on the US store at the moment even though it's up everywhere else. Time to wait 12 hours I guess...

The game will be unlocked at 11 PM here. Well, at least it's still on April 4th. :/

Mine just shipped from Amazon, due for delivery by 8pm tonight. Fuck yes, so hype and can rest easy knowing they didn't fuck a third order up this year.

Grammar mistakes in persona is one thing, mass effect A is a western game and has bad grammar in one of the main menus lol. And ive only played that for a couple hours without actually reading most of the stuff

Yeap, it's too literal. At the same time it's not terrible or at least it's better then the promo videos. Feels like a better handled Namco translation overall and not up to P4 or even P3 quality I would say.
I am kind of loath to switch to Japanese because of the amount of things left without translation. I am sure I would catch most since I have roughly intermediate level of Japanese but I won't catch nuances. We shall see how the localization proceeds (only about 4 hours in).
