I am. Outside of some weird frame-tearing (or maybe I'm just noticing tearing that isn't there. IDK.), the game is fine.

[fistfulofmetal]

I just started the 4th palace, hearing some of the stuff regarding the later palaces I may just bump it down to easy so I can get through them quicker 

I hope to at least max out Kawakami and Takemi.

Eh, none of the palaces are really that hard on Normal difficulty.

re: the Kobayashi "reveal" during the aftermath- it is simultaneously the best and most awful thing about this game.

It's the best because it's incredibly intricate and well done. It's the worst because IT'S SO NOT FUCKING BELIEVABLE IN THE LEAST.

Someone earlier in the thread said something that was dead on: P5 is fatlus wanting to make a game about college students or adults but being shoehorned into a game about high schoolers. Literally nothing that's happened so far makes you (or me, I guess) seriously believe this bunch of morons is capable of figuring that out and then pulling off the solution for it. Well, except for Futaba, but she's a walking macguffin, so whatever.

In fact, the most believable character is also the most obnoxious and least likable: Ryuji. He behaves EXACTLY LIKE you'd expect a typical teenager to behave in all situations.

Anyway, maybe this is just a byproduct of the fact that it's been about 7-8 years since I've played a Persona game, but I feel like the teams and stories in P3 and P4 were MUCH more believable as teenagers. I think a lot of that was due to the stories that they were trying to tell, if I remember correctly. P5 is them trying to do something way more intricate and it doesn't come off as believable, at least not to me.

I'm not trying to say the game is shit, I'm still enjoying it a whole lot, but ehhhhhh. Finding it to be less and less so as it goes on.

Persona 5 is different though. It’s a darker, more mature game, both in its tone—it opens with player being beaten and drugged before leading into some sexual assault allegations—and the company it keeps, with less of an emphasis on your fellow kids and more opportunity to forge relationships with adults.

This includes dating them. And the way you do it is kinda messed up? But also hot. Hot and messed up. It’s complicated, like love often is.

Aww yea damn what a game that was

One of the finest jrpg's Ive played in years... probably even beats classics like DQ8 for me personally. The music, the battle system and the outside world stuff is all top notch.

Some dungeons are hit or miss, but most if them were fun enough and I never got tired of the battle system so thats a plus. The game really goes places, and I really enjoyed 99% of it. I am a bit iffy on some of the later story stuff but thats okay. Aside from that I have to say I'm pretty glad I introduced myself to this series with P5. Now I'll go back and play previous games in the series and maybe even SMT:Nocturne? I have heard good things about that.

Although I still have Yakuza:0, Gravity Rush 2 and a shitload more games to complete haha. P5 took a serious chunk of time from my gaming schedule lol. Gonna sell this badboy off for now and come back to it maybe in a year or something . Dont feel like doing a whole nother NG+ run to be honest.

Digital Foundry agrees. Tearing out the ass on the PS3. At every point of the screen in busy scenes, so you notice it even more.

[thisismyusername]

Which is weird, as I don't think V-sync would kill the framerate or anything for PS3. It's like they dropped all support for it mid-development and just went "eh, we promised it" and threw it out.

I'm kinda surprised to see the general criticism of the game, especially on gaf.  I'm as nitpicky as it comes for jrpgs and I had gripes about the game, but they were mainly "game is too mainstream dumbed down easy for most of it" stuff.  Otherwise on the story/sim-side I had basically zero issues with it and thought it was the best written Persona game in the 3-5 group.  Also best looking (obviously) and best gameplay with the negotiations brought back.

[demi]

I think 4's motif is overall better. I'm playing P4 Dancing and I feel more involved with this cast. I havent turned on P5, I'm honestly not that interested in playing it. I guess I need to be in the mood again.

I'm in that position where I'd rather play [anything else] but P5.

And with everyone beating the game I will do more effort to avoid this thread

[archie4208]

I surprisly love the game, especially since it's my first Persona title since I used to be an elitist geek who shit on the series for the social elements.  I generally like all the characters and confidants (even lesser discussed characters like Ohya).  The gameplay is extremely refined and feels like the best designed Megaten yet.  It's up there with the top tier games in the series like Nocturne and Strange Journey imo. 

I just haven't had a ton of time to play it lately so I'm lagging behind.  Also I'm playing on hard so it takes a bit longer for me to progress in the first place.  I'm waiting to steal

My problems stem from how much the game "railroads" you in days. Persona 3-4 didn't do this. Yes, there were times where "you need to go to bed" but not as often as Persona 5. YES you can call the Maid and get a massage and negate it, but at that point: Why even have the tiredness mechanic? Let me go do the evening activities or make Coffee for further dungeon grinding or something.

Don't get me wrong: I like Persona 5, but for me Persona 3 (and if I'm really being honest: Persona 2's duology) is still better. The one area Persona 5 excels in is the battle system refinement. If you didn't need 500+ S. links to unlock all the abilities, holy shit it'd probably be the most fun turn-based combat system ever for me. The menu's/buttons and all that are well polished. But man, unlocking Baton Pass on later party members and the like just drags.

[thisismyusername]

And speaking of S. Links, I only have the two main party members and Strength to do now. I never have to worry about the pointless ones ever again.

Also Hifumi is best girl if only because I can switch party members outside of MY turn now.

[Human Snorenado]

I think I'm gonna be able to max everything except Mishima, looks like I fucked up and didn't get him before the end date. I'm on 12/8 I wanna say and just have 3 more to go, they're all at 9 I believe with the exception of Haru who is at 7.

But, also, fuck Haru. Worst party member.

[Human Snorenado]

Maybe it's a glitch? I never see his card indicator at night in Aki.

Also, Edgy Potter can get one shot kill if you fuse a Seth. And you should totally fuse a Seth.

Wasn't that bad on Easy. Maybe on Hard or Normal it's tough. But the first round gives you fodder enemies you've fought 4-5 times already so should have the weakness. The rest is simply healing up (Makoto and Morgana should be in your party with AoE heals for this, I used Yusuke but Ryuji for physical attacks works as well) and Dekaja'ing them to massive damage.

Not that bad, IMO.

tbh the story was v disappointing for me. atlus seemed to improve game over game from p3 (p2 still better tho), but this regressed in every regard. the characters are largely boring, the later they are introduced the better they get though, which is annoying bc u have less time with them. there aren't any memorable character interaction events in the story. the s.links are still entirely separate from the main story and each other. the 'mature' story stuff is handled in a very simplistic way which sort of negates the point of even trying. etc. etc. etc.

I wouldnt normally care abt the story being sub-par in a game w good gameplay (literally every change to the dungeon crawling and fusing is better and/or great), but the structure of the game forces me to sit through so much shit and it's terrible.  :'(

The story is better structured than P3 and P4, but I still like P4 the best because the cast, but I don't think the cast was bad this time but they have less personal  story moments after their related palace/target is over. Thought I guess that was a conscious decision as the stuff maintain the main plot on rails and feel less like stuff coming from nowhere.

[brob]

Structure is actually what I think P4 did best, and probably the point where P5 is the most disappointing. In P4 there are individual stories associated with the dungeons and the overarching murder mystery investigation. P5 goes for a more episodic crime drama thing, which is kinda fundamentally stupid since the whole point of that structure is being able to tune in and watch an episode without having seen all the previous ones, but – crucially – there is no way to play P5 like that. so why are they using a story structure that sacrifices long term storytelling in favor of freeform episodic accessibility?

I would have vastly preferred them to drag all the stories together in a messy pile of interconnected bullshit that goes thru the whole thing (the game already has a nonsense conspiracy thing it's trying to sell) over the neat serialized structure the game has.

But is not a crime drama, is a picaresque story; is about overcoming societal injustices than catching criminals. The conspiracy makes more sense and is more interconnected than Adachi convincing a delusional man to be the fake killer for 3/4 of the game or SEES incompetence. Is just that you feel more like P4 has a more  connected story because the characters develop even beyond their initial dungeon while p5  cast is more static to an extent.

[brob]

I think my main issue with the conspiracy story is that before the conspiracy is revealed it's not very compelling to watch all these cut scenes with Sae's boss talking ominously on the phone, and after it is revealed it is not really a big deal for very long. And while I don't object to calling the story picaresque I generally associate that with stories where a character travels to lots of different places and exits the various minor stories in a natural way (like literally leaving town). So P5 ends up feeling less like an expansive adventure and more like cop and/or lawyer shows where everyone is working in the same office in the same city every week, but the case from last episode is over and on to the next one, you know? But yes, a lot of this could have been mitigated by having a more rounded sense of the characters you are spending time with. There aren't really many hooks to bite onto there.

I'm just happy you're alive and posting, really, but my answer would be: a too strict adherence to theme.

No. I've never had her spam it on "Full Assault (knock down), or Heal-Support." Generally you're going to get hurt/damaged to where she does heal spells instead.

Really the orders are:

Standby (3 turns or so for weaknesses)->Full Assault (or Conserve SP)->Knock-down into All-Out Attacks.

Switch to Heal Support for bosses or enemies giving you huge damage.

I need to play P4-5 with the AI mode since I've been meaning to see  how frustrating they are with it, but I never had an issue with P3's.
