Alright finally managed to dive in today and made it all the way to 4/18, I am so ready for this.
The way the intro "week" of the game was ramped up was actually pretty brilliant and despite being the longest persona opening I've played yet (almost 5 hours until I basically had the ability to choose to do stuff), it felt really engaging.

I believe it's August 2nd. Japan tickets had a sale the other day but it was for dates after that.
I also don't know if I could manage the PTO but I wanna go so bad.This is a real hidden gem in the soundtrack: Confession/Secret
To me, it's another example why P5's soundtrack is stronger as a whole, even if it doesn't reach the highs of 4's soundtrack.

Agreed, P4 has so many good standout tracks, but I think overall all of P5 tracks are just great overall, even if it doesn't have as many highs, it barely has any lows for me at all.
Edit:
Looks like ATLUS USA put up the entire Persona 5 Soundtrack on iTunes! $29.99!
Sunset Bridge is like a warm summer rain.
This game was fantastic. Not flawless, but fantastic nonetheless.

Waiting for the physical full OST myself. Hope they release it in the States.

I just bought it on Friday from Japan and am waiting to receive it, haha. I double dipped, but only because I currently don't have my own personal computer to rip music and sync my phone to. :/
I don't think any of the other OSTs were released her physically, but they also weren't released on iTunes so I guess we'll see.

Yeah, I am pretty tempted. Might pick one up myself from JP. This OST is one of the best in the whole series! I also picked up the P5 Official Design Works from JP.

Yeah, I couldn't resist anymore. I also ordered that along with it from Amazon JP! Should be here between the 20th-24th. Really excited!
I guess we'll see if it comes over, the OST probably won't go anywhere. You can still find all the OSTs for past games on tons of sites.

Don't want to spend too much time in here in the middle of my P5 playthrough, but I had a comment I wanted to write before I forgot, concerning a minor aspect of a Social Link (I'm not calling them confidants, get outta here):
But seriously, the game is great. Big upgrades to dungeon crawling and graphic quality but it's otherwise aggressively Persona, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
So everyone agrees it's not a good idea for you to not call the maid service with your own phone... but Becky has the gall to just up and text you? The nerve.

Don't give up. Got all those on my Vita for $10 each during a sale.

Wanted to pop in to ask about this park the TV and Morgana keep talking about. I've walked around everywhere that I can, and I don't see a park. Morgana tells me I should check it out, but uh...where is it?
Inokashira Park? You need to read one of the magazines to open the location, but I think Ann's S.Link takes you there automatically at one point.

^ I don't know if I'm supposed to look at that! If the park is something that opens up via a SLink or some plot branch, then I'll just ignore it for now.

I won't quit! I love p1 because of how SMT like it is, even if the demon negotiations are a huge pain unless you know what you're doing I think it still makes for a great game. It's kinda super short too for a jrpg, if the encounter rate wasn't so high I figure you could finish the game in like 15hrs? Which is a nice breezy pace compared to the magnificent yet monolithic life sims the games later became lol.

Dreamcast and Xbox have identical face buttons, but the colors are swapped around a bit.

It was the true SA3.
Just look at all the playable characters (when you plug in a 2nd controller)!
Wait, you played the PS1 version? You have the patience of a saint.

OH MY GOD THE REALIZATION THAT YOU CAN DO MULTIPLE MEMENTOS REQUESTS IN A SINGLE TRIP IS BLOWING MY MIND, this makes time management much easier.
Lmao yep, I enjoyed it but it kind of turned me away from persona for a while because I figured it was going to all be like that.

Makoto
It was a rather cathartic moment.
finally flipping out and awakening to her Persona was great. You hardly knew the other characters when they awakened but Makoto had been a pretty constant presence in the game for a while when you take her to the bank. Tons of scenes showing characters from every single possible angle talking down on her and saying some pretty horrible things, and then she finally goes "stfu" and runs over some people with a motorcycle.
Persona 4 Golden. This will be an odd question maybe, but is there a good list online of which weapons/armor are supposed to be available at which dungeon tiers? I'm doing ng+ with all the social stats so I can max every link in one go, but I'm not completely sold on trivializing the combat using High end gear and persona's, and would like to only buy the stuff I should have access too at that point. In NG+ though, the late game gear is there to buy immediately.

I think it's telling that I notice stuff is not as it should be and I'm not a native english speaker.
By the way, that website is really well done.

Persona 5 |OT3| As expected from Mr.Kamoshida-senpai's bitch! It can't be helped.
Some of those lines sounded really awkward even for a non-native speaker like me, damn.

As expected from a bad translation, as the rumor says.
Can't be helped.
Especialy considering the supposed JP interference in VA direction

Is there really no way to change battle order? It always starts with Morgana and 90% of the time he's the last person I want to start with.
It's based on the agility stat of the (equipped) persona.

Ahh...that makes sense. But kind of disappointing.
I finally had an enemy take one of my party members hostage tonight. I used the Thieves Guild option, which was a bit underwhelming, but thanks to that random person who will probably never know they helped me out.
It's horrible from a UX perspective. :/
It's crap on mobile, too.
Overall agility, not just the persona. You can equip accessories like the Cheetah Socks to add to the stat, which shuffles around placement.

I'm liking the game so far, only thing I really hate is that there is no way to properly heal sp in palaces

If I don't have a PS2 or Vita, is the best way for me to play P4 to get a PS TV?
There's probably a decent amount of other stuff on Vita I'd want to play, but I don't know about dropping $200 on a Vita when I wouldn't buy it if P4G wasn't on it.
I can't believe they haven't put it out on PS4 yet. That seems like such a no brainer. Especially now after the success of P5.
Maybe I'll wait to see if there's an announcement around E3.
Edit: LOL just saw this thread

By endgame you should have
Hierophant, Temperance, and Empress
That's technically the point: restricting SP is what limits you from just gunning through a dungeon (even though you still can)
Protip: get your confidant rank up with the doctor: (ability spoiler)
She'll eventually start selling accessories that let you regain SP every turn, and then later will discount them for half off
As others have said, this is how the content is balanced. I see each Palace kind of like a puzzle where finding the most efficient actions to take in each battle is key. Taking note of the enemy weaknesses so you can end battles with the least SP spend possible (making sure to ambush then knocking down first hit and negotiating).
It's really fun trying to make it as far as you can in one day with the little resources you've gathered, I think a lot of the frustrations with the limitations in this game can be lessened with a bit of a perspective shift.

My only real issue with p5 so far (i have only just finished the second palace) is that time management feels a lot tighter than in p4 because p5 has sooo many days that you can't do anything confidant or social stats related.
Would you guys say this goes away later in the game?
In general you have the same amount of free time as in Persona 4.
