Never forget.
This felt like 10 years ago...
Can't believe we're finally playing P5...

It is. I was actually hoping for it to be nerfed to force more variety.
Instead Allmighty got nerfed pretty hard. Magic felt really weak in endgame.
I think it went up early since a ton of people are getting early copies of the game.

TYH edition, not yet.
Says "Expected to ship Mar 31" but it's not even preparing to ship yet despite being the 1st here on the East Coast.
It's not too late!
It's daunting at first but actually very easy, much like the actual train system in Tokyo.

Got the game today in NYC and already played it for 5 hours straight. This just reminded me why the persona series is sooooo good. Only complaint is the graphics look very dated but it's understandable since it was originally ps3 only. I think the ps4 version is just a straight port of the ps3 version with some minor enhancement. Also doesn't seem like there's any pro enhancement for this game. Still a 9.6/10 from me so far..

As somebody who has a hard time getting into turn based battle systems would this game be for me? Literally every other aspect of it is appealing to me (story, character, concept, art style, music, social sim). The only turn based game I have ever successfully completed was south park tsot and I didn't mind the combat there.

Combat is very fast and snappy, doesn't feel turn based at all sometimes

^ What he/she says is true. The combat is rather fast for a turn based game. Even faster than Persona 4 IMO.
Do you like old JRPGs like FFVII,8,9 or 10? or Old squaresoft RPGs? if not then no you won't like the combat. But if you like all other concepts then maybe give it a try? I recommend it. From what I played so far it's GoTY material for me. But then again I am a persona fan.

Probably not for you. Hundreds upon hundreds of turn-based battles. There are some QOL options, like auto mode and easy mode if you're the kind of person that is okay with not doing much of anything, but if you're expecting to get much of a game out of it and don't like turn-based, eh... I mean, you are moving around dungeons, solving puzzles and progressing social links, but a lot of that feels too tied into the battles for it to be enjoyed on its own.

shin megami tensei fans are about to chew you up for this.
I said this on the last page, but don't stress about it not shipping out. It always says that and it will ship sometime Sunday or Monday morning and be there on tuesday just like they promised.

Since this has gun combat since the first time since P1, I'll allow it.

I think I'm going to give it a go. Im a person who cares more about story that gameplay in certian games and I feel like I will enjoy the combat enough if an enticing narrative is present, and that torally seems to be the case with p5.

I'm a younger gamer so other than pokemon (which i hate) turn based games were not really present when I was growing up.
I never realised the artwork Igor for P3 and P4 were the same :O

It's the first HD Atlus RPG, period.

Some of the small differences in Igor's character art compared to the one in P3/P4 had me looking through Shigenori Soejima art and I just really love how his art has progressed since P3 and P4.

I already played this in Japanese but I love it so goddamn much...impulsively bought the Take Your Heart edition today. Looking forward to playing it again in English
There are 9 dungeons I believe

Seven proper pairs of cases + dungeons, and then one extra one that is kind of its own thing
I just got through the first dungeon. Maybe it's because I played the Japanese version last year, but it feels like a slog, getting through the early hours of the game.
A lot of Take Your Heart Edition pre-orders cancelled at my local store. The standard, non-steelbook edition arrived Thursday evening this week, so a lot of people switched to the standard version instead to play the game as soon as they can. I also did, but that's due to me already buying the Japanese 20th anniversary edition last year. Compared to that, the TYH edition seems lame and diminished. Slick steelbook, though.

Does his best thinking in the flying car
I thought it was a lot of fun
The idol stuff is a matter of taste, I loved how different the game is
Combat is great, the session attacks are fun to set up. It has aspects of megaten plus the weapon triangle, but it feels unique
Only knock from me is lack of location variety. Game world is small
Made my goty list
