First and last name naming FTL

No joke, I struggle with it and then 30 minutes after thinking of one I immediately hate it and have to suffer through the game with it or restart.

Manga name is Akira (given name) Kurusu (family name)

That works for me, thanks!

 

[Fakeknowledge]

2 hours in, brilliant so far.

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

Yeah they are lol. Are there any notable consequences to replying with the joke responses? I was going to

Spoiler

tell the police that Ryuji was bullying me

but didn't in case it mattered.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

I keep getting lost in the subway station.

 

[StriKeVillain]

So I'll be playing this on the 4th and then jetting for Tokyo (first time) on the 13th. I didn't even plan it this way but it's funny how it worked out.

I'm hoping the game will be a nice appetizer to the main course overseas. ;D

 

[tmespe]

I keep getting lost in the subway station.

Can't say it's not realistic.

 

[Dominator]

I can't wait to play on Very Easy and just experience the story and not have to worry about combat. That's how I did Persona 4 Golden and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Does the protagonist have a canon name? I suck at naming characters and I'd rather just go with a default.

In on this crew

First and last name naming FTL

He has a name in manga but it's clearly inferior to Izaya Orihara.

Spoiler

Provided that you've seen Durarara!!

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

Cmon Amazon, quit preparing my order and just give it to me already. I need it in my veins.

 

[Slaythe]

They never keep the manga name. They always change it for the adaptations.

 

[Platypus]

These last few days of waiting are borderline painful

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I keep getting lost in the subway station.

Congratulations, you now know what it actually feels like to walk around in Shibuya Station in real life.

 

[pizzaparty]

Broke 60 hours this morning. This game has taken over my life.

 

[tmespe]

If feel the combat in this one is actually easier so far. You also have the auto weakness button.

Congratulations, you now know what it actually feels like to walk around in Shibuya Station in real life.

Except in real life you also have to deal with a million people walking increadibly fast.

 

[bigmac996]

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

Love this.

Yeah, after being burned twice now on 2 of my most anticipated games in recent memory I'm following this advice.

 

[formasymphonic]

Gonna ask this again:

Is there a Funky Student equivalent?

 

[Iva Demilcol]

So erm, what's everyone's name for (5th may)

Spoiler

their Phantom Thieves 'guild'?

This caught me by surprise so I never planned for it lol ^^;;

Spoiler

I called them "Phantom Dust"

 

[Miang]

Welp mine arrived today

39 hours till I finish nights and can play it

FFFFUUUUUUUU

 

[djSyndrome]

One copy of each version on separate orders from Amazon:

Regular says 'arriving Tuesday April 4'
TYH says 'arriving Tuesday'

Neither says preparing for shipment

:\

 

[JStein0222]

Jealous of everyone that somehow has their copies already. Amazon has been preparing my order for a week

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

Yeah they are lol. Are there any notable consequences to replying with the joke responses? I was going to

but didn't in case it mattered.

I picked that one, nothing happened aside from

Spoiler

Ryuji getting annoyed.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

I didn't realize the breadth of the changes/improvements; specifically to the dungeons and social links. Puzzles?! Abilities/tools, etc?! Yes!

Honestly, I'll probably shelve Zelda for this once I get it. I've been waiting a LONG time for this. Excited!

How is the soundtrack for anyone that's heard/played it?

 

[Atlas157]

My TYH edition is "Shipping soon" from Amazon. Yesterday it said "Shipping March 31st" so I dunno what Amazon is doing.

 

[N30RYU]

What's the cannon name for "that"??

Spoiler

Phantom Thieves

?

 

[Slaythe]

I don't personally care for it, but I can't believe they still do not provide translations (text ones) for the EU main countries.

At least they still released the game in swift manner there. But it's gonna be hard to get a lot of new people into it.

 

[jon bones]

How is the soundtrack for anyone that's heard/played it?

so far it is absolutely incredible

wonderfully jazzy

I can't wait to play on Very Easy and just experience the story and not have to worry about combat. That's how I did Persona 4 Golden and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

i'm playing it on the easiest difficulty and it's great. dungeons can be handled in 1 in-game day and you can get back to the story stuff.

 

[Laughing Banana]

Lol buying just a piece of equipment for a party member cost 5600 Yen but my money is only 9927. Oh mannnnnnnn damnnn.

 

[ckohler]

Fuuuuck! I noticed my Amazon TYH edition I ordered back in July 2016 was done with a now expired card. So, I changed the billing method to my current card and they bumped the delivery to THURSDAY!!!

Am I fucked?

 

[Kilau]

Where is my preload? The count down timer is gone.

Good to hear! I forget that the game's been out in JP for a while so the soundtrack is around. I'll have to get on that...

The default.

Loving the soundtrack so far. One thing I don't like though is how the music gets interrupted during combat when

Spoiler

you do a hold up

.

 

[Ragnar Blackmane]

Just go buy it from a store on tuesday dude
It's not like it's going to run out day one.

Have to stay in Japan until the end of May and my PS4 is back home.
The suffering ... is real. Well, at least I have someone who will pick up the Take Your Heart Edition I pre-ordered for me, so it ain't all bad.

lol shibuya isn't that bad

You shouldn't play P5 on the 4th then as it will be the main course.

 

[Astral]

I'm having a really hard time coming up with a name for the MC, not that I have the game yet or anything. I'd rather come up with one now though than to spend an hour in the name screen.

 

[Ragnar Blackmane]

lol shibuya isn't that bad

It's probably much worse during rush hour. Japanese take the "rush" part literally too.

 

[MTC100]

They are taking extra care for you

 

[Gentleman Jack]

lol shibuya isn't that bad

You're right. Shinjuku was much worse.

 

[Grewitch]

I want to preorder so badly but I still have to finish mass effect.

Why do you have to finish Mass Effect, when the devs clearly didn't?

Play Persona. Play it.

 

[ckohler]

Call them asap

Just got off the phone with Amazon. Dude bumped my order to next day delivery so I'll be getting it on Tuesday after all. Thank god. Jesus fuck that scared me.

I was like "I've had this preorder for almost a year and because I'm trying to be a good customer and make sure the payment works you penalize me!?" Guy was understanding enough but said if you ever change your billing after the fact, they have to reprocess the order... which sucks because I didn't do anything wrong! My bank reissued me a new card. He also said had I not changed the billing method at all, the ORDER WOULD HAVE JUST FAILED OUTRIGHT!

Let this be a warning to anyone with Amazon preorders. If the card you used when you made your order has since expired, changing it now will bump your delivery date back (unless you call and complain like I had to).

 

[Iva Demilcol]

lol shibuya isn't that bad

It's worse and bigger too.

 

[Soriku]

Loving the soundtrack so far. One thing I don't like though is how the music gets interrupted during combat when

The hold up music is dope though.

And it's the same in other Megatens with negotiation.

 

[ShadyK54]

Amazon finally shipped the TYH Edition, and it should get to me Tuesday around noonish. So so close to finally having the game in my hands! FeelsGoodMan

 

[dan2026]

The English voice acting is a little bit dodgy.
Some characters sound ok and some sound like they are phoning it in.

 

[JJShadow]

I'm having a really hard time coming up with a name for the MC, not that I have the game yet or anything. I'd rather come up with one now though than to spend an hour in the name screen.

I spent like 20 minutes deciding and then just went for his manga name, I´m really digging it

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Am I fucked?

Me too. We're both fucked. Hope they don't cancel it...

I'm preordering the digital one too so it's not too bad for me but I feel like shit right now.

Edit: I'll try chatting with them later.

 

[haolee]

So far, Matt Mercer's Yusuke sounds like he's playing it too safe. I also had high hopes for Tomokazu Sugita as Yusuke's Japanese VA, yet he also played it straight and unexciting, but at least he brought more personality to Yusuke. Mercer seems somewhat plainer.

I'm still on suicide watch since Amazon hasn't even changed the status to dispatching. Just left it on not yet dispatched. I've called up and bullshited it's a birthday gift for Tuesday so here is hoping they push it up in priority. Shame to hear tomokazu sugita played it safe when he's basically the king at playing wacky zany characters.

Is your payment status up to date?

 

[DrunkShogun]

Is your payment status up to date?

Yep. New card came a while ago and spent time updating the necessary websites. There is a precedent for late shipping. I've had it shipped on the day of release and got it on time so guess it's just my region.
