So the persona 5 preview thread says that 85 hours would be rushing it.
Some people have played up to 140 hours without beating it.
Whelp, I'll see you all in 2018 then since it seems like I easily add another 40-60 hours to standard Persona playthroughs.

Yeah Im in a group with some Gaffers and they got mad at Persona 4 for all the grinding they had to do and I was sitting there thinking it was one of the least grindy JRPGs I played.
What does usually mean? Persona 3 was not thought of as an easy game. Easier than some other SMT games, but not easy. P4 was a bit easier than 3, but you could play on Hard if Normal wasn't a challenge.

I'm pretty happy about that. Not going to need another game for months
e: yeah 3 wasn't an "easy" game unless you only played P3P. maybe easy on a SMT scale?
3 was hard mostly cause the teammate AI fucked you over a bunch.

Persona 3 was hard only because the stamina system forces you out of dungeons.
It's real easy to fuse broken personas even without consulting a guide.
Persona past 2 is honestly pretty breezy as far as JRPG combat goes.
1-2 meanwhile are like the total opposite.

Brad seemed happy on UPF. Content is better when Brad is happy.

P3P did make things easier by giving you direct control, which helped a lot on the toughest bosses like this guy.
I remember The Answer in FES being really hard because of the lack of a compendium.

Mass effect andromeda saved him.
That's a minority opinion. Just look at what people had to say about the table boss.
I agree that fusing a strong persona is a better approach than grinding, but not everyone is going to figure that out in time for the boss they get stuck on.
I wonder if it all has to do with the size and number of areas you can go to. Based solely on the small amount of pre-release stuff, there are even more places to go to and larger city areas to explore after school. That's both awesome and sucks because my daily routine is visiting every location every day before making a decision on how I want to spend my afternoon. Shops are at least skippable most of the time.
Lack of direct control in P3(FES) made the game harder just because you still had to deal with the AI not doing exactly what you knew would work, especially in boss battles. Early game was also a bit rough because of how low everyone's stamina is.

Hmm, maybe I lucked out in fusing because I honestly don't remember having much trouble with him. Can't remember him at all actually. It has been awhile since I played it. Still, my overall impression of P3Fes after all these years is that I don't associate it as a tough game to beat.
Of course even if the overall impression of P3 is that it wasn't super easy, the trajectory of the persona games have been trending towards getting easier and easier. Which I kinda hope Persona 5 breaks that trend. P4G was a fucking joke gameplay wise.

Also a joke in many areas compared to vanilla P4.
I played Persona 3 on easy. They give you 10 items that revive your whole squad and give them full health and when you die so you can just cheese all the hard bosses with it. It makes the last boss super easy if you still have a bunch left over, I employed very little strategy and just revived my squad like 5 times to kill him.
If you count "lol they said they were horny" as Waypoint talk then sure

At least he's honest. Took him a bit to get there.

Also just got to the first real boss of nier after it opens up and man.
This is going to be a ride isn't it.
That scene before that is also amazing.

From what I saw of the JP version, you can check the travel map to see if there is anything available to do in areas before you go there.

I haven't been using vacation time because I thought I was being laid off at the end of a contract. I got made a permanent employee instead so I took a bunch of days off for P5.
I remember that thing being a fucker. I think I killed it by using Revolution (buffs crit for everyone including enemies) and just not letting it stand up.
Overall P3 wasn't too hard, because I'd just come off of Nocturne and had a good grasp on fusion. Once I poured all my stat buff items into Thor it became easy mode. But there was definitely that constant dread of a random lucky Mudo when you were deep in a dungeon.

Wut, lol. There are a few obvious ones everyone living in Europe should know, just from school or even TV.
I came up with tulips, I couldn't even think of the Anne Frank museum (I'm British btw).

Banning windmills and weed makes it harder though.
At least all the weird, visible sex is still legal.
I mean, tulips and Van Gogh are the obvious ones. And weed.
I could tell you things I saw in Amesterdan (that was what Jeff ended up doing) but apart from that coming up with 10 things on the spot isn't easy.
Edit: it banned weed too that's right. Windmills and weed are obvious too.

Can't wait for the Beastcast to come up with things for Iceland.
You motherfucker. Dat reminder. I haven't played anything other than OW and some Zelda for the past few days. Haven't felt like opening Y0 and NieR: A yet. There's also ME:A but I might not play that yet either. Argh, so many RPGs!
Yeah, when they added those stipulations I panicked.
I was getting annoyed during the Finland one though. Who could forget Lordi winning the Eurovision song contest... Americans who don't watch it I guess.

Best football chant and Game of Thrones was filmed there.
Bjork, volcanoes with hard to pronounce names, and CCP.
We had Terry Wogan back then, he was so disdainful about Eurovision and just got more drunk as the show went on. He was amazing. Graham Norton does a good job now.
There is just some super obvious ones, especially if you consider food:
- wooden shoes
- bicycles
- cheese
- dutch fries
- mayonaise
- frikandel
- bitterballen
- stroopwafel
- vla
-tomatoes (if you want to be cheeky)
Edit: Also gonna throw in Epica which might be the only dutch Band I know.
Yeah, it's really funny.

Good, i had one stroopwaffel and decided to never eat another One again unless i want to die early.
Insane! They are great, but one is more than enough sugar for the day.

Exactly, it is so good but so fucking sugary i have to resolve to never getting one again.
