Wait what, how did I get the Izanagi dlc? Izanagi Picaro is level 23, and I can summon him as soon as the compendium unlocks. Sounds a bit OP for the first dungeon.

I can't find Persona 5 anywhere, what the fuck is going on with Deep Silver.

They shipped my PS3 version to 365games quite early apparently, as they sent it to me on friday and it arrived yesterday(monday) by air mail.

Fuck, I can't play anything with no subtitles, so there will be stuff I won't pick up on because subtitles are lacking...

You'll miss nothing major though, judging from the first 5 hours I've played it so far.

Man, i'm on my third try on the first dungeon.

From 1/5, failed.
From 28/4, got to lvl 10 and got to the boss, but he's too strong.
And now just started from 26/4 to farm a little more.

It will be impossible to get full social link stats at this rate.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Does turning on boost even make any difference? Probably nothing substantial right?

I always have boost mode on, never turned it off. The game seems to run at a rock solid 30 FPS at all times, I would imagine it's the same for non boost mode in this case as well. It's a very artistically beautiful game, not exactly pushing Horizon style tech or high resolutions.

I do like how quick and snappy the load times are. Just for extra effect I'm running the game off of my USB SSD so the average load times aren't more than 3~ seconds.

English VO has been great so far so I think I'll be sticking to it even though I've downloaded the JP voice pack.

And here I thought finishing the first dungeon will happen quite soon within the tutorial, guess I was wrong as the king was shown so often. Well it's fine either way.

If you're playing on normal, he's quite doable at lvl 10 if you have good personas and equipment.

Is there a certain point when the game shows you how to get other personas or is it possible from the beginning?
I tried to get stuff low in the first few hours but had to go to bed before starting a social link with my 4th party member.

Had chance to put in an hour last night when it unlocked, cool premise so far.

One thing I really, really don't like is Igor's new English VA. It just doesn't fit the character in the slightest.
 
Would have normally gotten this digital but it's Persona 5, so I had to get a physical copy. Was too scared to use Amazon so I got a copy at Gamestop. Just a little under 5 hours before they open. The wait is killing me. Most anticipated game easily this gen.

Hahaha, what did they tell the english voice actors to do with the japanese names? "Just try to make them sound more japanese mkay."
They should've just stuck to the english accented pronounciation instead of butchering them even more. I mean it's fine, japanese butcher english names as well, only fair.
Sakaaaaamoto... ^^ I'll be switching to jap dub now.

Hoooh, people actually found him to be difficult? I basically breezed past through him.

I bought all the best defensive armor and have the best melee weapon at that point tho, so I suppose that's why.

Use Tarunda/Rakunda, folks, they help, hehehe.

I'm playing it on Hard.

Oooh, I played on Normal tho, lol.

Eh, I'm with Jeff Gerstmann on that one. Buffs/debuffs are for suckers.
I know they're essential.

Recommended negotiation answers for (all?) 4 persona types, if someone wants to know them:

Timid:
Serious -
Playful x
Kind o
Ambiguous x

Irritable:
Serious o
Playful -
Kind x
Ambiguous x

Upbeat:
Serious x
Playful o
Kind -
Ambiguous x

Gloomy:
Serious x
Playful x
Kind -
Ambiguous o

o = positive, x = negative, - = neutral

Got em from gamefaqs board, not sure if they're 100% accurate.

If you recruit a persona when you're full and don't take them with you, do they get automatically added to the compendium?

One question before I start playing later today/tomorrow: is it possible to grab all trophies in one playthrough? Any missable ones?
 
Mine came about 30 minutes ago, you guys!

I'm gonna stream the game tomorrow. I don't have time for it today, sadly.

Played the first 15 minutes (until I was asked to
choose the difficulty
) and GOD DAMN!
HOLY SHIT!
This looks so amazing! And the soundtrack is so beautiful!

That's all I can say about that, though.

One thing: Answer the very first question you (the player) gets asked with "No" or whatever the equivalent was. Have fun!

People that say buy the best equipment should give some early money farming tips because everything costs a fortune. Unless treasure loot gives enough money, which I haven't tried yet.

Just went to my local Game store and my, it's been so long since buying a game felt special. Haven't had that that feeling of the purchase being an event in itself for a long time. Can't wait to play.

Tried to get this today. Sold out in all the local shops and Amazon only has collectors editions in stock.

Guess I'm gonna have to wait a bit longer.

The one time I don't pre order this happens haha.
 
Looks like I might be waiting until Thursday even for my copy. Really disappointing

Same here. Although I won't even believe that until my TYH edition actually ships from Amazon. Just praying I actually end up getting it and they don't just end up cancelling the order cause they oversold.
 
So I've had a shitty start to the day. I've been relying on my brother to pre-order Persona 5, he was going to have his copy delivered to my house so I could try it out for a few days and see if I wanted to buy it but the idiot somehow pre-ordered the PS3 version.

I don't even know why I went along with his plan as I love both P3 and P4 so I should have just put the money down myself and pre-ordered it but it seems like it's too late now as it's all sold out online. I'm not getting the digital so I'm going hunting in town hoping to find a copy.

This is the last time I rely on other people to pre-order games, from now on if I'm interested in a game I'm just going to take the risk and buy it.

I'm on media blackout so I'm gonna bow out of this thread now but wish me luck :/

If anyone wants the steelbook edition, try the Amazon PRIME NOW app (Prime customers only), its £49.99 however :/ but you will get it today!

Hah, I was waiting for something like this. Definitely expecting to have a lot of difficulty with it myself on easy too.

Oh well, at least we have the super easy difficulty if the game gets genuinely overwhelming later on. No such luxury back in the Persona 3 days.
I can't imagine how brutal Merciless is.
It's the same style of characters in Catherine
That explanes a lot actually.
Game is easier than P4 or P3 on Normal so far. About ~45 hours in.
Strange, I play on Easy and I find it harder then both P3 and P4.

How about you guys?
Daichi Miura, he's a Japanese singer who's name I like, among other things.
If you recruit a persona when you're full and don't take them with you, do they get automatically added to the compendium?
I want to know that for sure too, but in my experience you need to take them with you to the Velvet room, because I remember that I didn't get some in the compendium on my nearest visit.

Oh god, did I seriously get one-shotted by the very first mini-boss of the first dungeon proper? Motherfucker didn't seem to even be weak to anything.

Well, at least I now know not to waste my SP on him.
