Persona Community Thread |OT9| SPOILER TAGS OR DIE
- Thread starter Dantis
- Start date
I've been trying to avoid gameplay spoilers of the later half, including this one. But everyone's complaints makes it sound like I'll like it. >_>
No, and I'd still rather play it than Chapter 13. But good god it's just so unashamed of presenting a neat idea and then completely running it into the ground.
I know it's probably not the case, but it does spark memories in me of that "we need to finish so just throw something together" feeing from FFXV's later hours.

Hmmm...
decided...
Hard pass on the Take You Heart Edition, going digital. Dem import fees got me.

Honestly, the same complaints could be levelled against
the penultimate dungeons in both Digial Devil Saga games. Miniboss rushes aren't exactly a new problem for SMT games.
Yeah, I was gonna say:
The approach to the final third of Persona 5 sounds very oldschool Atlus.

That's not really the case with Shido's Palace. There are only 4 minibosses IIRC and they're relatively spread out. I'm guessing the mice puzzles and length are what don't site well with some people.
Personally I didn't have a problem with them in the slightest, I disliked Okumura's Palace a lot more. The storyline, music, visuals, and step up in difficulty made Shido's Palace one of my favorites.

The music in the dungeon in question is alone enough to redeem it.

Yeah, that and the repetitive design for those segments. Overall,
backtracking and stealth

I think I'll Face Myself is better tbh.
Whew, seems to be a lot of black bars popping up around here (and very dangerous ones at that too imo)
With the release date drawing closer, I know a lot of the import players (like myself) are eager to play through it again, but just a gentle reminder to watch those spoilers.
If you ever need to, the import spoiler thread to discuss certain gameplay mechanics/impressions etc might be a better place to discuss those without fear of accidentally spoiling other users (we DO tend to get a lot of first-timers popping up in the community thread afterall, especially with the release of a new mainline title)
Several of us etc would be glad to help out new players with tips and answers if it's needed once the English build OT/spoiler thread gets created when the game is out
Cheers.

The game explicitly tells you where to go there.

Meh.. I'm a bit dissapointed with the title to be honest.

It was voted on a while back in a poll that received over 200 votes.
Tedious? You should look into the triple entendre.
Voting has concluded.
The consensus was that OT2 would be "Among Thieves."

True enough. "Among Thieves" is definitely more provisional.
Just hoping you all enjoy the OT, honestly.

Awesome art by Soejima for the 20th Persona anniversary.
I've just discovered it, but I think it's a good time to remember it.

I still think the title is kinda lame but whatever.

Standard Edition comes with the skin, yeah. Preordering should be fine, seems like it was an issue on Amazon's side. If anything happens, just reach out to them. I don't think there was a real problem with the product itself.
yeah, it's been around for a couple months but it's really phenomenal. LOVE seeing Soejima draw Kaneko characters.

The Persona 1 MC aka the only guy who isn't wearing black is really cool. Hard to find actual fanart of him. Actually gonna play P1 this weekend...
Dantis pls. People didn't give you grief in the import thread because you didn't like some of the dungeons, they gave you grief because you tried to critique the writing of a game you played in a language you don't speak, lol.
Nobody's saying P5 is perfect.
They're not, I just got a laugh out of "who could've seen this coming." P5 has issues that have been discussed for months in the import thread, this isn't news, and those aren't the reasons folks have had issues with some of Dantis' impressions.
Sorry for the snark, it just rubbed me the wrong way.
The greatest proof possible that the dungeon is Good

It's interesting to read that people think Persona 5 will get marked down for a bad dungeon design when the highly praised Persona 4's worst aspect was ALL of its dungeons. I consider Persona 4 to be one of my all time favorite gaming experiences, but all of those dungeons were a complete chore. The writing, charm, music, and atmosphere all made up for it. The good heavily outweighed the bad. I'm imagining it'll be the same for Persona 5, no?

Shouldn't be the case here, so far.. The Palaces in Persona 5 have been amazing. You're in for a real treat.
The dungeon in question that Dantis was mentioning about, I actually quite like it a lot in terms of design (aka the overall look of the dungeon) and soundtrack. It is just that
it went on for a bit longer than what I would have preferred, until it felt like a bit of a slog to finish it
I paced myself so I never had that issue. The gimmick repeats one or two more times than it should but that's all I felt from it.
Now the beginning of dungeon

4 and 5
Massive backtracking, time limits, enemies spawning up your ass in coverless environments

Can't wait! Thanks for always providing insight.
On another note, 2nd review for Persona 5 is apparently out: it's a 95% from Games Master UK.
Not at a 10/10? Guess I'm picking this one up from the bargain bin.

More like: Every Review Thread Ever: Part Infinity
I'm actually having a hard time to believe that Persona 5 will top NieR:Automata as the best gaming related thing in years for me.
