I really prefer the PS2 version. I'd recommend that.
I've only played the PS2 release and that sits amongst my top 3 rpgs of all time so you should be fine. No need to buy an entirely new system just for it unless you really care for the portability.
I wonder if there's even a slight possibility that we'll see a Persona 5 endurance run. I remember them saying it wouldn't happen but they did bring it back recently for Shenmue, so who knows if he'll change his mind.
EDIT: I keep almost accidentaly clicking on the spoiler thread thinking it's the import OT >_>
Well, MC is not catatonic like Yu
It's easy to lose track of time while playing this game.
I'm still in the first chapter I guess you could call it, and it's really interesting so far.
Yeah I was a little surprised that even some of the mandatory/story conversations aren't always voiced.

Can you reverse/break all Cooperation's/Social Links in this game like you could in P3? I found P4* lacking in this area, which is strange because P4 was more focused on friendship than P3 so it would have been more realistic and dynamic if you could permanently ruin them.
I think there are only one or two social links you can reverse or break in P4*

They're on opposite coasts now, so it might be a bit tricky. Anything's possible, though.
I've only ever watched a few random episodes of their endurance run. I love Persona 4 and like a lot of GB content, but I cannot imagine watching someone else play P4 for 100+ hours. I'm really glad they did it and liked it so much, though, because I think they introduced Persona and SMT to a lot of people who wouldn't have gotten into it otherwise.

I.................. never knew about this.
Atlus development team's one rubbing minigame I think.
'Tedious' is WAYYYY too kind a descriptor for demon negotiations in Persona 1 and especially 2. Horseshit would be more apt.
I'm 16 hours in, and so far
no cameos but there is an Innocent Sin reference if you check your TV one day. It references that Featherman show in that game which is referenced in other points in the series too.

I mean, yeah I don't like them but they were a novel idea back on the PS1. They are one of the many reason's why I've never enjoyed P1 or P2 Duology. Tried again on the PSP just to remind myself that it's pretty archaic.
From Shouta's stream and other impressions, Demon Negotiations sound more streamlined and quicker. I'm already familiar with All-Out Attacks form P3 and P4, layering the Demon Negotiations with that seems like a great way to get them started. Using familiar combat mechanics from P3 and P4 and this friendlier negotiation system seems like I can possibly enjoy this more so than P1 and P2 boring system. Taking the combat from the two previous games, while refining the unique aspects of the first two games sounds like a winner to me.
Shit man Bribing monsters in Final Fantasy was always the best negotiations in my opinion, quick and simple (just expensive at times). Or Capturing them by simply slaying with the right skill or weapon.

If you're on PS4 , the game will launch on a US or EU psn account . And if you've downloaded the theme from the japanese psn , you can use it on your main account without an issue.
You just have to set your JPN PSN account on primary and the game will run fine
How do I set it primary?

Thanks for streaming, man. Really good stuff that has increased my anticipation of the game.
I'm carefully treading this thread, dodging possible spoilers, but there is something I would like to know: Are there more vocal tracks?
So far, the only two I've heard are the opening theme ("Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There") and the battle theme ("Last Surprise", which is awesome).

Behind the Mask has vocals, but it only starts playing the vocal version about a month into the game. Other than that I can't think of any other vocal tracks.

Tagging as spoiler, just in case:
Yes, there are at least 4 more that immediately come together mind aside from those two, maybe even more (i may have skipped or forgotten some tracks).
That doesn't sound like much compared to 3 and 4, but maybe I'm under the illusion these games had more than they actually had due to these tracks being so prominent?
Yeah,
Life will Change
Rivers in the Desert
Beneath the Mask
One of those, (rivers in the desert) is a very special boss battle theme, and I wouldn't recommend listening to keep the surprise, because its really really good easily alongside Life will Change with my top P5 songs, and because there are spoilers in the comment section if you watch it on youtube
There might be more im missing tho

Man do i love this game...
Played more hours , on a gameplay perspective, there is not much that i dislike.
The dialog is "on point" , the setting's superb. the social links are very good.
Persona 3 and 4 always had little touches in their world that made the immersion excellent and this one doesn't disapoint.
I'm like , i'm gonna reach that safe room and save since i need to stop playing and like 8 minutes later i realise that i've exited the safe room and i'm exploring the dongeon again ( when i initially planned to stop playing for the night..) it's that addictive. the dongeons of P3 and P4 can't compare .. a serious improvement.
Demon communication is MUCH MUCH improved from before , less annoying , quicker .. you don't feel like you're fighting the game this time to negociate.
The changes to the 1 more system allow for more strategy and more flexibility
My only problem so far is the persona fusion system, but maybe i have NOT understood YET well how to use it fully .

Is anyone here playing it that doesn't know, or only knows a little Japanese? I know it probably would difficult to read with my little knowledge, but wondering if you're still enjoying it.
Only like 2 hours in and I'm enjoying it but the further I get into it the more I want to stop and just wait for it in English. I have no Japanese Experience and am google translating it the whole way through. Everything about the game is amazing including the story so far and I feel like I understand it but for me I think I want to experience it in a form where I can be more comfortable. God I wish I could just download subtitles like movies.... Would be perfect. Anyway, to each there own. If you think it won't bother you I believe it is pretty easy to use a translator to understand the story. Just requires patience

I sorta feel the same way, where I just want to wait for the English release for the easiness of it, but I also am in the works of learning Japanese, and wish I was exposing myself to it more often. I recognize some kanji (only like 80 or so), and all the hiragana, and katakana....trying to remember the vocab ive learned so far...doubt i'd understand much of the game without translating every line going through a book, but I feel like I kinda need that too. Need to study more xD

Persona Games are TEXT HEAVY games , if you've never played a game in complete japanese before , i honnestly think it's futile. I mean you're making choices constantly during the story. The game doesn't hold your hand
Several scenes in the story are not voiced , all the social link events are not voiced, you'll get no help from the question that pop-up during class and the list goes on.( How do you do demon negociations without knowing how to read ? )
P5 is not the game to try to brute force your enjoyment like this
Is it different than P3/4's?

I can't say for sure , but it feels like i haven't unlocked it fully yet ( i probably need more scenes with igor to get the full picture of what i can do )
Others that are way ahead of me in the story might know
As someone who's favorite series is Persona, I wouldn't want to ruin it by putting a learning experience above playing the actual game. The irony of course is that the whole translating bit by bit part is so grueling that you would probably prefer doing it with something you actually enjoy. I've pretty much decided to stop playing when I get to point where I can fight in the first dungeon when ever I want. That way I can enjoy the fights a little without tutorials popping up all the time. After that I will just wait. I realize I spent $100 for only like 4 hours of gameplay but man was it worth it for me
