So is it clear how the first name/last name format works, this time around? I remember messing it up in Persona 4

Steelbook is just a fancier game case. In my experience, just goes on my shelf and is never looked at again.
TMS is a fine game, and I say this with great affection for it, but it's through a b-tier effort from Atlus and this is their a-team at the top of their game.
Chances are you'll feel like this is a bigger budget, more intriguing, well thought out version of a lot of the concepts from TMS.
They explicitly label given name vs family name in this one.So is it clear how the first name/last name format works, this time around? I remember messing it up in Persona 4
Rushing through the best JRPG ever made? This is a crime.

Simplygames dispatched TYH.
Better come tomorrow or I'I'll be sad.

I didn't want to read reviews because of spoilers, but I have one question about the game. Does the sickness mechanic from Persona 3 show up in this game preventing you from grinding or is it like Persona 4 where you can spend as much time in a dungeon as you want?
You can spoiler tag your answer incase others think it's a spoiler to know so.

There's no sickness or similar mechanic, but your SP running out will mean you may have to leave eventually. There are accessories you can buy to circumvent that though.

Given name is first, family name is second.
That Link drawing is horrible.
I don't see where he looks horrible. Though I had to laugh when people constantly asked who he was supposed to be in another thread and someone suggested it was Prompto of FFXV, lol.
Come on, that's clearly Link. XD
The whole picture is disgusting, not just link, although I actually thought it was a female Link fanart at first
Horrible and disgusting? XD Wow...
You might want to explain why you think its disgusting
Most fan art of characters out of context generally is to me. plus the expression on the Persona guy's face
the disgusting part was an exaggeration
Hm. I think I might use that. Though I'm wondering if they will do the same as Persona 4 where the manga name is different from what the rest of the games/anime do.
Since IIRC, Yu was named Souji Seta in the manga but Yu Narukami everywhere else.
I saw in the UK at least the CE was really slow to sell out, but since the reviews they've suddenly disappeared and the Steelbook edition as well. I think the good reviews will do a lot for this game

After. VAT is included.
I'm just a typical Cheap Arse GAFer and paying over £40 for a game isn't in my DNA. The glory days of £17.99~24.99 shortly after release are largely gone, but £30~35 is still obtainable fairly quick for most games.
>£40 is becoming more and more of the normal RRP, though. Yakuza 0 is still =>£40. Physical copies of Yakuza 3/4 were like <=£14.99 fairly quickly in the PS3 days of them not selling.
Brexit is probably aiding in the inflated prices for everything.
As much as most may want to chalk this up to success, I'd actually say it is VERY poor on behalf of Team Persona and Atlus that they've seriously under shipped and a fricking game is OOS before launch. Not just the CE, but the actual game being OOS.
Maybe add Aloy in there eh?
The piece is called "Japan at the Game Awards 2017" and I doubt the original artist would want someone else to mess around with it

Ohhh yeah, Zavvi dispatched order yesterday with tracking.
You know I'm tracking that s**t all day like a dirty stalker while working. Looks like it's getting here tomorrow. The wait is so painful.

I might not get it until after release day if they're not planning on shipping until Monday
Only reason I used them instead of Amazon was the chance of getting it early lolI've been using Amazon for as long as they've existed and I've never once received a pre order before release day, so I'd say no
Ah, thanks. I might try and switch my day then. The hype has me.
Yuck. His videos are always in the suggestions column, and he has no chill with spoilers
That guy is at it again I see. Thankfully i deleted Persona 5 history almost a week ago.

We all know who will be the main GOTYs of 2017
Yes, we do. It's Mario Odyssey.
did you wake up in a cold sweat
That's because it appears to be sold out for now...
I ordered mine on the 29th and it's marked as dispatched to arrive on the 4th, I hope there's no problem with it...
EDIT: it literally just changed from "unavailable" to "pre-order today". So you can order it now it seems!

So are there any differences between the steelbook edition (other than the steelbook) and the regular PS4 blue box version? Does the steelbook edition come with any extras?
I probably shouldn't since I still need to complete a couple of games, but I'm tinking of pre-ordering today. I'm leaning toward just the regular version, but if the steelbook comes with any extras, I'll get it.

Literally just the case.
It's nice and all, but I'd definitely take a regular cover if it meant saving a few bucks.
It's listed on amazon as Steelbook, manual, and disc.
Also Amazon doesn't seem to be selling a non-steelbook edition for PS4, in the UK at least.

Is there any censoring in P5?

Probably not, the reason Tokyo Mirage Sessions was is because of Nintendo. Atlus rarely censors games.

Ordered from Simplygames this morning and it's just been despatched, a bit too late to arrive tomorrow d'ya think?
UltimateUnknown

No it's actually very likely to arrive by tomorrow since they ship with Royal Mail First Class. I've had many deliveries from Simplygames arrive they day after dispatch. If not you're looking at Monday for sure, but tomorrow is very likely.
I ordered from Simplygames about 2 hours ago and just now they've cancelled my order so I'm assuming I got there too late.

Not at all, I've had it next day after dispatch for the tea time post pick up. It mostly depends how in the ball your royal mail dudes are.

Aren't they the same exact price? And doesn't the regular edition come with the Controller cover?
Amazon UK has the steelbook ps4 in stock again if you need to grab another pre-order.
In the UK I can see the ps3 version is 39.99 (plastic case), ps4 steelbook is 43.99.
I can't see a ps4 plastic cover to compare with though...

Gotcha. I'll just get the standard edition. If the steelbook also came with the standard case, I would definitely get that.
