Maybe listening to all that metal has destroyed my hearing but I honestly can't hear any problem with the audio recording for voices. They sound fine to me.

Persona 5 |OT2| Someone must have been helping you go to bed early. Talk!

People normally don't like sharing beds. I actually don't mind it myself since I grew up sharing beds with friends.

Man, fishing in this game sucks. One of the few things I think back fondly with Final Fantasy XV.
I agree
People also don't like sleeping on floor though. I'd rather share bed than sleep on floor.
It's not over until you do NG+, the secret boss and get platinum.

This guy get it, on my 2nd play though right now 106hrs, and trying to get the links I couldn't get the first time and training up for the secret boss because I know they are going to be tough.

Oh, I didn't know this. Though Shinpachi is so much better than Mishima.
Rise, Yusuke and Mishima together would mean the reunion of Odd Jobs.

Does this game ever get harder? Just finished the third palace on normal (which I found challenging in 3 and 4), and I've been able to breeze through the boss fights with minimal grinding. Should I bump it up to hard or is there an incoming difficulty spike that will destroy me?
Finished the 6th Palace, don't open spoiler until you've finished the story sequence that follows the retelling if the prologue. I have to say
that plot twist, it was awesome. Game had me thinking I had got the bad ending and when I saw Haru in a car I was like: fuck this! Only to see that I'm not actually dead.
The whole setup makes sense. It's risky and they know it. It was amazing. Just wow, really. One of the best twists I remember.

the game is definitely easier than the previous games, i started on hard and switched to merciless in the 4th dungeon (and i don't grind either, i hate grinding)
I almost forgot to reply! Hope Diamond and Crystal Skull can both be found at the bottom levels (10-13) of Sheriruth, but they're naturally very rare and you can still find Emperor's Amulet there instead. It took me about 40 minutes to find both of them.
Dear god, I don't think I could handle that.

Well, Haru's platonic route is straight up brutal.
Like holy shit why did they make it so rough?

can you tell me what happen exactly? I can only find romance scene on youtube, not the platonic ones
Yes, Sugita is best.
He's also the type that would play these kind of games, coming from his Tokyo Encounter show.

I have a question about sending the calling card for the 6th Palace
11/2
Sorry if this has been asked a lot recently.
11/2
Does sending this calling card and defeating the boss skip the remaining days I have on the deadline? I still have 18 days to finish the palace but I'm afraid that getting arrested will cause the game to skip ahead and waste them.
Sorry if this has been asked a lot recently.
Aloha.
This was great haha.
Are they supposed to be super compressed or something? I haven't noticed any issues with the english voices.
It has. But don't worry about it;
try sending it, and the game will explain to you why you can't.
This is why I always just romance all the girls in Persona, that way everybody's happy...except for a <5 minute scene near the end when the rest get mad that gets completely contained to that one scene and has no actual consequences.

Haru Confidant Level 9 Spoilers
The business guy basically asks about her fiance because he says she seems way more interested in the MC and at the end of the conversation she gets all flustered like "W-why would he say something like that, lol, what do you think?" and your response is "Well cause we're good friends obviously" and it shows her downcast face as she goes "Oh r-right. Of course. Friends just like everyone else. Uh well I guess I have to study or something so we should like...go or...okay..."

that's what i did, this scene is amazing!
i'm glad that i picked futaba, because i retried the scene by picking someone else, to see futaba's reaction.... and she was the only one crying, i felt bad, haha! The icing on the cake was that ryuji's message... man, poor guy

I don't have any issues with the English voices. However I was going to run with Japanese voices on my second playthrough and I ended up swapping back to English sometime around the 2nd palace because of sound quality.
They feel really compressed, certain voices, like Yusuke, Sojiro and even Ryuji's at times felt like there was some odd reverb or something.
That all said, it's something you might not notice if you are using TV speakers or something.
And that's the moment girls should come beat you up.
You just broke their heart all together jerk
There is a slight dent in the plot here in that not a one of them immediately knee jerk react to Akechi being able to hear Morgana, but Morgana and MC decided to talk among themselves about it. Which I guess is more believable with them being the most quick witted of the party members.

Where did you get priestess?
I can't find jack shit online for some reason. Also best way to knock it down?Yep, that was weird. During all other S.Links it was totally fine to just go for friends as they seemed ok with it. Only Haru was so sad and disappointed.

Having cleared 2 palaces these are my issues/frustrations so far
1) Persona either needs to go open world or just have the map exploration be a list. Trying to use the subway system to go where you want is confusing as fuck with how fragmented the areas are. At the same time once you visit a place you can quick travel their which makes walking around the maps completely redundant and just gives me an extra load screen.
2) Persona needs to have a mass effect style protagonist where people can call him by his last name for voiced dialogue. The silent protagonist thing worked well enough in persona 3 but gets harder to swallow as the story scenes and social links get more complex in each sequel. The mc can go waaay too long in a story scene without being given a chance to have a line of input, I can't tell if p5 is worse then p3/p4 or if I'm just less tolerant to it here.
3) The high speed stealth stuff and acrobatic stuff is cool, but it makes the invisible walls and lack of a true jump button really frustrating. Why can't I jump up a ledge not even half my height yet I can leap something 10 feet tall. Also I dunno if enemies are dumber at detection on normal but I find it silly I can just run up to an enemy and get a free ambush on without any effort half the time.
I'm sure a lot of people find those to be nitpicks, but they're questions I constantly find myself asking as I play. The rest of the game is good, it's typical modern persona with a lot of smart refinements to the formula. The issues with the past modern personas are for the most part still here (slink and main story feeling like separate worlds, mc death = game over, annoying limitations on when you can/can't do stuff with your free time) and the things I love are still here (great character stories via slinks, fun combat, a lot of variety).
I know I'm still early, but I feel pretty safe saying Persona 5 is like an 8.5 out of 10 for me right now with flexibility to go up or down depending upon how the stories play out. Its a very good persona game, but its just another persona game and I wish it did more to freshen things up.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Best part was the pedestrian traffic in the loading screen changing from Japanese people to fat Americans drinking soda and girls in bikinis.
Aloha.
It's definitely something that wouldn't have happened if some smarter characters like
Makoto and Futaba where there.
But it works pretty well. Most people, or at least me, don't really pay that much attention to those kind of scenes. Akechi not realising it was the cat talking makes sense, since it's the first time he talks to them.
Using the Metaverse as a way to fake his death was really smart. They said "you leave it when you cross the same spot where you entered". You've been pretty much doing this to leave dungeons during the whole game, after all.

There wasn't really anyone except MC, Morgana, Ryuji (who is dumb) and Ann? (Who isn't quick to catch things on either). Plus it is implied that they bring the rest up to speed asap.
Hell, I didn't catch it myself tbh.
Persona 6 needs to have voiced portagonist honestly, none of this half assed bs. He is already voiced here in parts because those scenes would have been impossible without voiced lines, so they should just go all in and make him voiced like others. You could still have responses like "Beep Boop" and it not feel odd as those weren't voiced interactions anyway.
I actually used it for a good 6-7 hours until I realised I could fast travel.
The only reason I noticed it the first time the scene happened was because of me always imagining a constantly meowing cat everytime they are in the real world and he's talking.

It feels like you're doing that throughout the game anyway.
I start to feel bad for him when both choices come off as hostile towards him lmao.
