It's not in the case with the game disc. There's a blue envelope from the Velvet Room with a card inside with the code on it.

Yeah, it's really dark compared to how P3 and P4 started.

If its darker then that's great.

Hey, do I need to use the japanese psn to redeem my 20th anniversery theme or can I use my USA psn? Are there region code blocks on online codes? I always imported physical and never bought dlc so this is new to me.
I'm excited that mine is coming tomorrow! I'm gonna play a little bit of it just to see what it's like!
Though it might be better to just wait for Feb. Hmm.
Edit: Now that I think about it, probably need my Japan PSN Account to redeem since codes only work on there.

ok thanks. Any chance that DL version of the game will support the DLC code?

Mine did.
Nothing specific, but potential spoilers on the way the game handles things early on.
Visually, it's not too dark. It's more like it deals with some really heavy subject matter (far more so than what P3 deals with, since that was mostly supernatural in its nature) in the first arc, and it's not remotely subtle in the way it depicts it. But honestly, while it deals with some really morbid subject matter, it does it in an optimistic light, even if things do get pretty grim at parts.

Way worse than that. That shit's so far removed from the real world that it doesn't really hurt me.
P5's first arc makes me deeply, deeply angry.

Damn I'm actually surprised considering how the last Persona game was a bit too lighthearted.
For Persona 5 to be even darker than P3 makes me excited.

Man, that's making me excited. A darker Persona feels like a return to form.
But I'm also nervous because I'm not sure the Persona writers are able to carry real, mature themes gracefully.
oh you used physical package's DLC code on DL version of the game?

Finally go to play a little and got up toIt's almost 2AM though I'm too tired to keep going.the escape from Kamoshida's castle.
Game is pretty cool so far. Most "fun" moment was following the signs to find the right train, something a little amusing about that.
As someone who has visited Japan, that shit was too real for me.
So far, it's really well done, you don't have to worry there. I mean, it's not high literature necessarily, but the writing is still very good. If it continues like this, it'll be better than P3 or 4 for sure - and probably one of the best RPG stories imo.
It also strikes a great balance between said mature themes and the "we're having fun thieving it up" anime stuff - it doesn't feel tonally inconsistent or anything.

Sorry bro. I also got spoilers sent to me after I talked how I'm going to avoid spoilers in the community thread *sigh*
I didn't open any of them but I had my GF (not interested in games) to be a mine detector and check them out.
Some fucked up people ruining other's fun.
Did they send them on GAF or other media? If GAF, definitely report them. I imagine it was through other channels though, since I doubt they'd commit account suicide on GAF for that.

I got GAF PM's also, haven't checked them out yet except that they're from someone not posting for a long time and the titles are just numbers in them.
But the ones I definitely got were on PSN, I hid my handle in my profile after that.
Someone sent what I imagine is the same image to my art account.
It's a bummer, and the guy is a fucking loser, but it's still a tremendous game.

P3 is dark in an abstract way. It has the imagery and the mood but it doesn't really do things. P5 actually has things happening.

Finally got to play after watching koe no kotachi(manga is better but the movie was good too) and this is my major complaint thus far. I want to explore and fight a bit but since it's the first dungeon and first hours of the game, I'll let it pass. Luckily the characters are great thus far and the story is engaging. I just got 4 members in my team so hopefully the first dungeon will be over soon and the game opens up more.

22 hours in and haven't seen any fetch quests yet, but have also only cleared the first dungeon so far.
Overall it feels like you have to use your head at lot more to get through, which is nice.

Shibuya station was blowing my mind the other day. This is just as annoying as transferring to the Ginza line in real life! Amazing!

Assholes every where. This is why I've removed my psn and social media accounts out of my profile and also set my settings to only allow friends to message me on psn.
Gotten psn messages before from an account with neogaf in the account name. Trolls just lurking these threads and sending spoilers and shit to people.

how does the story and cast compare to Persona 2?
P3 and P4 were really disappointing in these aspects for me, hopefully this goes in a different direction.

It's hard to compare, of course. The antics between Ryuuji and Morgan have more depth to them than Yosuke and Kuma ever had. The characters feel (even) more human than the previous two games, if that makes sense?
Haha. There is a lot in this game that definitely feels like authentic Tokyo, that's for sure.

If I didn't actually know how to transfer i probably would have been upset, seeing as i tried to go in the jr entrance despite knowing better.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions Shibuya was cute, but I've been pretty impressed overall with P5 locations.

P3 really wasn't all that dark. It had the imagery down, but aside from maybe having more major character deaths than the average JRPG that was kind of it.

Persona 5 being darker pleases me and this is fron someone who absolutely loved Persona 4.

The only thing I will ask is that people who import:
Please do not spoil or ruin anything in other threads, for those of who have to wait until next year for this.
...and on that note i'm gonna gift this thread before i ruin anything for myself. Peace.

You can from the beginning. Just give the order for manual control.
The people who import know that already as they value the experience. The jerks ruining the fun for others are usually people who read spoilers online without playing the game.
Even those who play the imported version have been spoiled by dickheads who rushed to look all the PS3 datamined stuff day one.
Activate it using the in-battle 'Tactics' option. can't remember if it's the top or bottom option.

Of course. For the first few battles they don't let you, but then you can use the Tactics option in the Order menu to set everyone to individual control.
That sucks. Hate people who do that stuff.

Seriously, I'm glad they are steering away from Persona 4's lighthearted-ness. As much as I enjoyed it, Persona's 3 moody and dark imagery is what drew me back to the series.
Knowing P5 is darker than P3 is exactly what I was hoping since most of what I've seen makes it look like a super fun super hero JRPG.
Man, cannot wait.

Can anyone past the part where you name the group confirm whether the name you pick shows up in the story? Or is it just for other players to see in the online stuff?

Sorry if this has asked before but just of curiosity: how much does the MC talk?
Not much. General battle sounds and the occasional word here or there. Still mostly silent.
