It should but you don't know which way will the reviewers go, you could have one say "it's too long" or something petty like that.

I mean this is a fine criticism for me...i feel like i could play forever but im early in, and the idea that i will feel this interested for 100+ hrs def sounds way too good to be true lol. But mc-wise i def expect it to go higher than p4

MAKOTO BEST WAIFU

That is all.

Good to know have someone I can rely on. I echo your sentiments.

Took the week off starting Monday. My god I'm going to play so, so, so much P5.

 

[Totakeke]

I've only met two girls in P5, but yeah, Makoto easily surpasses any girl from 3 and 4 and the other one in 5 for me. Heh.

It's also partly because I had a wrong impression of her character from the trailers.

And you have my Axe.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

And you have my Axe.

Makoto doesn't use axes.

She is so stupidly adorable as the game goes on, but in a good way, not a forced moe way.

 

[Panda Rin]

Played about 12 hours so far. This is basically Persona 4 on steroids. Doesn't bring huge, overarching changes, but a lot of QoL changes. People who didn't enjoy P4 won't like this, but for me, they fixed the two things that irked me the most: gameplay pacing and dungeon design. Game moves at an insane pace, yet, I'm still clocking a bunch of hours. Never feels like the game is wasting your time either.

Don't feel quite attached to the cast yet, probably won't until everyone's on board.

Still early, but this is my GOTG so far if things continue at this pace. Haven't been this engrossed in a game since Witcher 3.

 

[silva1991]

I see the second best girl and the ultimate husbando in that gif.

Then there won't be an umbrella big enough for the incoming shitstorm.

lol.

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Makoto doesn't use axes.

I was thinking of saying Brass Knuckles but it didn't flow as well.

IN ORDER NEWS T-MINUS 10.

I'm like 46 hours in.. I don't think I'm halfway done.

Like our our best boy, Kanji?

In a different way.

 

[mollipen]

Ryuji is an impulsive, melodramatic shithead.

Like our our best boy, Kanji?

What? No. God no. Kanji was awesome, and I'd never talk about him like that.

 

[DrunkShogun]

And you have my Axe.

A glorious day to find likeminded people.

 

[stupei]

Ryuji is an impulsive, melodramatic shithead.

Yeah, he's great!

For those who are interested in calculating unweighted averages. (And scores needed to reach X value at any point.)

My Body isn't ready yet, but I am bracing for IMPACT!!!!

-Still betting on a 94 MC.

 

[mollipen]

Yeah, he's great!

Taken a certain way, your name basically says all that needs to be said here.

 

[Nightengale]

93 was my prediction back in January. Let's go.

 

[_Ryo_]

but, but, but, thinking back to P4G, there were "certain things" that needed to get done to get the true ending and that needed 2 play-throughs. So you are saying S-Links can be maxed and everything done in 1?

That's not true at all.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Who drew that? Pretty baller artstyle

I'm not sure if he/she drew that but this is the source:

Yeah, he's great!

dunno if this constitutes a spoiler, and just got ann in my playthrough, but the way he impulsively acts out against authority in a way that's "not palatable" resonates w/ me like crazy

Momentos are randomly generated dungeons based on the hearts of the general populace. It's like a Tartarus that's always there, between all the awesome handcrafted dungeons.

I think I'm ok with that then.

 

[OnionPowder]

Took the week off starting Monday. My god I'm going to play so, so, so much P5.

I have 4 weeks off work soon because my firstborn will be here soon.

This will be my baby game while she's sleeping.

It's already made, just locked until the embargo lifts.

 

[Impulsor]

Almost there.

 

[Cornbread78]

That's not true at all.

Whuh? In P4G, you get the true ending by just choosing the correct dialogue options at a crucial point.
Unless you meant the new stuff, but was just a matter of maxing out s-link before the end of the game.
Nothing that required a second 239508205 hour playthrough.

I'm thinking of the platinum trophy, lol. It's been awhile!

 

[meltingparappa]

I knew there was a cat in the game due to Morgana being the mascot, but until I started Ryuji's s-link, I didn't realize the game contained a precious pugnacious kitten needed to be protected from the world.

That would be taking it the way it's intended, yes. I already know how wrong you heathens are.

Honestly, I've never actually disliked a Persona teammate. At worst, it's been mild apathy.

Why the fuck review thread is not unlocked

 

[get2sammyb]

We gave it a 10/10 at Push Square:

Persona 5 sets the benchmark for modern Japanese RPGs: it oozes style, charisma, and polish quite unlike anything we've played. With this fifth entry, the series' trademark formula of dungeon delving and socialising has been perfected. Addictive, engaging gameplay, incredibly endearing characters, and a consistently rewarding narrative loop combine to create a spectacularly cohesive whole – whether or not you're already a fan of Persona. A masterpiece from top to bottom.

[Ocarina_117]

YO peeps.

Felt this thread would be the best place to ask.

I've never played a Persona game before and will be feeling a old school RPG after completing Zelda and Nier.

Will I be lost if I jump into the series with Persona 5?
