Man, Atlus's animators have improved drastically. Some of these cutscenes are breathtaking.
The story isn't playing out how I expected at all either, in a great way.

Nice. Megaten games are at their best when they're dark and bleak. Although that not only seems darker but way more mature too. Developing Catherine was a very good thing for the team it would seem. Allowed them to grow and experiment with concepts and subject matter that don't usually show up in gaming.
Just finished first dungeon, game went GOTY.
All the cooperation links are in french, so no wonder they'll use that fusion

You're talking about Shiho right? She's a starting member (スタメン on Kamoshida's volleyball team.

Yuki is also on the volleyball team, but he's a lower down player (and presumably on the guys team)
Kamoshida takes his anger out on his players hence why the two of them are always beat up.

Done for the night, lol.
The game is really great so far. It's definitely darker than P3 and P4. P3 is dark in an abstract sense where P5 gets real with it. There's a lot of weight behind what's going on as a result.
Dungeons being crafted instead of randomized is fantastic and the slight gameplay changes and general usability improvements are great. I'm really looking forward to playing the rest of the game.

I just remembered that I had some leftover funds on my JP account, went ahead and bought the themes. I can still indirectly enjoy P5 without the actual game!
A shame you can't cross share between accounts though...
Super thrilled to hear this. Going by the general impressions being brought up so far this game appears to be hitting every single note I've wanted for it, could very well wind up being the game of the century.

They've certainly done a fantastic job at making him a ridiculously unlikable character. Which is only going make beating him all the more satisfying.

Yeah. (SPOILERS)
Kamoshida kept getting worse and worse as the first story went on. The things he was doing towards the end were pure scumbaggery. What he did to Shiho was disgusting. =/ I'm a little afraid of where the story is gonna go after this because that was some heavy stuff to start with. It could just be the first one though.
I ended up finishing the first dungeon and got to name the team (30 Dollar Italian Meal) and I'll be starting on the 2nd case tomorrow.

Oh, d'oh, I'd assumed the themes could be shared. I normally buy themes on my primary account and am then able to use them on other accounts, so I assumed it would be the same. D'ooooooooooooh, of course. Ah, well, I might as well buy one, as I had some JPN PSN moolah.
Great to hear how dark the game is!

If nobody has by the time I get home (two hours from now) then I'll do it.
Same here, kinda sucks as it would be nice to have a theme per account lol. They're definitely super slick though - and that BGM, oooohhhh lawddd
I played four hours last night and took my time examining the environments, talking to everybody, getting the feel of the game. The game's presentation and atmosphere is amazing. It feels familiar, and yet completely different from P3 or P4. As someone said above, it's dark, but a very different kind of dark than what P3 offered. The dramaturgy is of the story's opening part has vastly improved compared to P4. The game still takes its time introducing you to the world, the characters and the gamplay step by step, but succeeds much better in creating a sense of tension right from the start and keeping you entertained at all times. The menus, character portrait cut-ins, transition screens when traveling to a new location and so on are a joy all by themselves. It's really great how Atlus have recreated the crowded and oppressive feeling of those sprawling Tokyo train stations with limited resources and on maps that are small and easy to navigate. I haven't finished the first dungeon yet, but it is already leaps and bounds beyond anything the series has offered so far.
The only annoyance so far: loading times are a bit of a pain in the PS3 version. I wonder how the PS4 version compares.

Super anxious about spoiler so I won't read a single post in this thread. Would somebody be so kind and tell me whether the game is any good? I loved P3 and 4. 3 more so.
edit: Loved P2: EP too but I doubt P5 is anything like it.

Not that it takes much of an effort since P3/4 had garbage dungeons, but it's great to see. I feel like I'll already like this more than 3/4.
*shrug*
I enjoyed P3 and P4 dungeons, personally. They were really chilled and easy to play.
It's shaping up to easily be my GOTY so far, but I'm only 5 hrs in so I'm still very much only starting to get used to the game. All spoilers are tagged in this thread, so you should be fine if you want to stick around and hear other people's impressions.

All right, thank you. Can I play on hard difficulty right away? P3 had a challenging normal difficulty but P4 was like 30% easier which was a little disappointing.

Yeah, how is hard mode for those playing? P4 normal was too easy back when I played it on PS2. Only real struggle was Shadow

You can play hard from the getgo, the highest difficulty: Challenge isn't available though.
Hard has been really easy thus far, but I still feel like I'm in the tutorial stages so take that with a grain of salt.

Same here. Ugh. Why don't Sony have the balls to stand up to these clueless Japanese developers (looking at you too, 龍が如く team) and tell them no, we aren't going to disable this feature to protect your precious little story, because regardless the whole thing will already be streaming online for anyone who wants it a week before your game is officially released.

Great, I'll start right on hard then. I really like that there's a difficulty above because NG+ gets a little boring when you started your NG at hard.
