Not sure if this works in the US, but here in Australia, when an online distributor stuffs me around, I just go and re-buy the vanilla version of the game from my local EB Games (Gamestop), get to play on launch, and then just return the other copy once it comes in. I literally did it with my launch 3DS that came in a day late; possibly the most impatient person ever.

Many of the joke responses from the main character are seriously funny, lol.

Wish I could find someone who was selling this in Delaware or Philly. Blah!
What does their support say?
I'd complain. When I've had this happen on Amazon UK. At the best they've sometimes upgraded the delivery and it's arrived on release day anyway. At worst you get a free month of prime.

Amazon said my copy was expected to ship yesterday, but nothing happened.
Looks like it's going to ship the day before launch, just like Zelda. I must live next to a distribution center.
I just hope I don't get UPS again ;_;

The old Japanese VA passed away so they had to get a new actor for 5, then the English VA was changed to match.
For someone like me who preordered on PSN, will the game unlock at exactly midnight ? Or will I have to wait for a specific time for it too unlock ?
Also how big is the game ? Just so I know how much I'll be downloading for pre load
Also question about the game, do your responses affect how much influence/progression in social link you have with someone, or are there no consequences for how you answer in dialogue?

That seems kind of strange but oh well. Haven't actually heard either VA so dunno, I may like the new English one.
This is good to hear, I kinda loved being a sarcastic asshole whenever I got the chance in Persona 4

JP va died dunno if they decided to change that in the west as well. However, he sounds more of a demon now instead of sounding like a creepy old man. I loved the old voice nostalgia and all but the new voice is great

My local store got shipped the standard, Region 3 version on Thursday(Region 1 Steelbooks and TYH editions still scheduled for April 4th). Thursday, 5pm, store updated their website to let us know they have those Reg 3 copies. Thursday, 6pm, it's sold out.
People are crazy hyped about this game.
I wish that was spoilered since yeah it would have caught me by surprise too.
As said in the OT, put the in-game date. For example, 4/4 Spoilers:

Or buy digital and play several hours early.
I just did yesterday with Amazon, no problems at all.
I finished just short of 90 hours. This was on the JP version, so a lot of those hours was dedicated to translating the lines of dialogue using my phone. But I did everything I can regarding side-activities.

Asked in the other thread but I'll ask here as well as it pertains to more than just romance.
Can you reverse or break the Social links, Cofidants, Co-operations like you could in Persona 3? That's a feature that was much more toned down in Persona 4, which was imo quite disappointing.

That's why I just stick to GAF. I'd stay away from Gamefaqs also, they tend to spoil things over there all the time too.
Japanese version took me 86 hours.
Really interested to see how long the English version takes me.
Yup, sticking to gaf only from now on.
Went to a small store today to see if I could find a copy, but they were apparently already sold out. So I put in my PSN preorder and according to the unlock countdown the preload is going up on Sunday. Only 54 hours to go!
(Also, I'm double dipping. I still have a Take Your Heart edition preorder that's not arriving before April 10th.)

This is all I'm asking for.
Manga name is Akira (given name) Kurusu (family name)
I think it'd be cool if they let us choose our gender already and both MCs could date all the male and female options already. There's really no strong argument against letting us choose our gender, at least, since being a dude never impacts anything outside of hinting "canon" romances with one of the main girls.

Those options pretty much give you insight to what kinda person he is, goes to show this MC got humor lol

Is it safe to sell anything under the Treasure tab at the weapon vendor? Or is some of that stuff used for something else?
Fireox' german start page showed this to me a few days ago:
It says: "This is an important notice, it is always correct: Never read the comments" And the yellow guy is a troll that holds his hands before its face and removes them in an animated Gif
