I'm just watching the kickass P5 protagonist theme for the next 38ish hours

For some reason my PS4 won't let me use it until the game unlocks. When I pick the theme it just throws me to the countdown timer for the game.

 

[Philippo]

My go-to online store still hasn't put P5 online...
I hope it's tomorrow but even then it willcome no sooner than the 5th :/

 

[Acquiescence]

Man this game is so fucking dark...

Have you tried adjusting the brightness level in options?

 

[Anoxida]

Have you tried adjusting the brightness level in options?

Is that what he meant?

 

[Sumio Mondo]

Neither, really. It's much more grounded than both of those.

Cool. Sounds good to me.
I personally like how different all of the Persona games have been in tone/feel.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Just got a response from Amazon! The rep fixed it so now it's One Day Shipping and is now "Preparing for Shipment"! So happy!

 

[Trigonometrize.]

Is that what he meant?

Yes. Ostinatto is known to have high standards for the brightness levels of his games.

Was it scheduled for Tuesday still when you contacted them or was yours pushed back? Also how did you get in touch?

 

[Ryuukan]

My local GameStop called me to tell me they're doing a 9pm release for persona 5 tomorrow 👍🏻

 

[AlexFlame116]

Was it scheduled for Tuesday still when you contacted them or was yours pushed back? Also how did you get in touch?

It was pushed to Thursday. It said arriving on Thursday instead of Tuesday like it used to said. I was upset to be honest. So earlier today I checked because I was getting worried that mine hadn't shipped yet. It said shipping on Tuesday and arriving on Thursday.

I sent an email to them in the morning with the order number and they responded about half and hour ago at 2PM.

 

[Holundrian]

Hope when games like this live up to almost a decade of expectations, people can stop saying it's impossible for a game to live up to almost a decade of expectations.... :-x Of course this also is a lesson for devs that they can and should control expectations.

 

[Shouta]

Are we talking Eternal Punishment dark here or dark by Persona 4 standards?

Real life dark.

 

[jediyoshi]

Is there an unlock time? Hoping for 9pm PST at least.

 

[styl3s]

My rep said they couldn't do anything because of "demand" and that mine will arrive thursday

 

[pahamrick]

For the digital version? It is indeed 12am EST / 9pm PST.

 

[MTC100]

I feel like individually, they're better than P4's characters. But together as a group of friends, P4's gang felt closer. P4's cast had more moments that showed them together as a group, including their spin-off titles(though I don't feel that the spin-offs did add much in that regard).

I see, no worries then, the idea that they acted as a group wasn't that important to me anyway, now I'm even more hyped, let's hope the plane with my game doesn't crash!

 

[BlackGhost]

Amazon order shipped, first Persona game.

 

[AlexFlame116]

My rep said they couldn't do anything because of "demand" and that mine will arrive thursday

Oh man that sucks! Have you tried again and/or through a different form of communication?

Sometimes I have to do that myself.

 

[Ostinatto]

Yes. Ostinatto is known to have high standards for the brightness levels of his games.

Yeah, this is unacceptable.

 

[Olengie]

Contacting Amazon CS again to see if I can get Persona 5 on Tuesday and not freakin Thursday.

 

[Jeb]

I have to say, I'm loving the difficulty so far on hard.

Spoiler

At the intro to the third dungeon and just finished the fight with the waves of oni and that other oni looking shadow

and I love how you are forced to use all tools you've got to get out of seemingly impossible fights.

I was worried since I felt P4 Golden went overboard with the easing of the game, but P5 has me impressed, so far atleast.

 

[Guess Who]

My Amazon TYH edition order is now "preparing for shipment" to arrive on Tuesday. Get hyyyyyyype

 

[Deleted member 30609]

AU PSN. is there no option to preload?

 

[LowParry]

Amazon not screwing me up this time. Tuesday arrival. After finishing Nier and Zelda, I am very excited to play something that's not some open world game.

I've asked this before, but combat is a lot more fun right? Not the boring dungeon runs like P4? I'd love for some turn based combat that's actually fun with a great story and cast this time.

And what kind of time we talking to finish the game?

 

[silva1991]

Is that what he meant?

I'm pretty sure Acquiescence was joking

 

[FamousLastX]

Contacting Amazon CS again to see if I can get Persona 5 on Tuesday and not freakin Thursday.

Mine changed to Thursday as well for the TYH edition...now to start to worry. Please report back if you have any luck or they let you know why the delay.

 

[styl3s]

Oh man that sucks! Have you tried again and/or through a different form of communication?

Sometimes I have to do that myself.

Yeah i just sent an e-mail.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Would you guys like me to copy my original email contact and the rep's response and put it on this thread?

 

[FamousLastX]

That would probably be helpful if you don't mind.

 

[Reszo]

Hypppee

 

[Zurick]

A friend and I psn-share, and it let him pre-load it, but I can't pre-load it on my PS. I see it in my library, but it has no option to DL it, nor can I find an option on the store. Any ideas?

 

[adamsapple]

FYI, Gamestops will be doing a 9PM launch for this game on Monday like other recent big releases.

 

[Mister_Ruck]

My TYH also switched to Thursday. I contacted Amazon via their online support chat and had it switched back to Tuesday. This was yesterday but it still hasn't shipped. My copy of FF15 was two days late so I'm not holding my breath.

Same, must be a PSN share glitch.

Maybe it'll only let the primary PS4 preload, and switching your PS4 to your primary might work. I just don't know if I wanna go through the hassle of deactivating / reactivating 2 PS4s right now.

Pretty sure when gamesharing now you have to be the home ps4 or whatever of the account that bought the game so I don't think two ps4s can play the same application bought by the same account

It kind of sucks that we have to strong-arm Amazon CS to try to get it on time. I wonder what they are doing, pushing back random customers game that haven't said anything yet?

This must be an Atlus supply issue right?

Would you guys like me to copy my original email contact and the rep's response and put it on this thread?

Wouldn't mind that sure.

 

[Fix The Scientist]

Should be, i have it preloaded now.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Wouldn't mind that sure.

Okay!

Order Id:

What's it to ya?

Selected Order Items: Persona 5 - PlayStation 4 "Take Your Heart" Premium Edition Edition

Comments:My delivery date was moved to Thursday instead of Tuesday when I was supposed to arrive. I have release date delivery with Prime 2-Day Shipping so this shouldn't happen.

Sounds rude now that I read it again. I feel bad now.

Here is the response!

Hello,

I'm very sorry to hear that the estimated delivery date of your order#

Spoiler

nice try!

was changed. I understand how disappointed you must be. That's definitely not what we want our customers to experience.

As a valuable customer I want to help you with this, while looking into this, I found a problem that was preventing your order from shipping.

I'd like to get your order to you faster to help make up for the delay, So I've upgraded the shipping method to One-day shipping. There's no additional charge for this. A detailed summary of your adjusted order can be found here: -

I can confirm that you will receive your order by April 4, 2017​

And also I'll have a follow-up on your order, So that once your order gets shipped, I'll personally contact the carrier and provide special instructions to deliver this order to you sooner. Please don't concern. We'll take care of this.

On a personal level, I highly appreciate your patience, cooperation and understanding in this matter. It's our privilege to have you as a valuable customer and always taken care of.

We look forward to seeing you again soon.

*4 hours later*

Done the first dungeon now, gotta say i'm enjoying the tone and characters a lot more than P4 (which i loved aswell from what i played), just feels like there's more weight and therefore consequence to everything.

 

[Ramenman]

Hi guys,

For those already playing, can you say what are the available difficulty levels ?
I enjoyed P4G on my vita but mainly because I could put it on "very easy" and be largely braindead about the JRPG systems and fight, and just enjoy the story/music/characters/STYYYLE.

I plan to do the same on P5.

 

[pahamrick]

There's a preload issue on the latest firmware. Search for it in your library, click the search result icon. You'll be able to preload.

How much days did it take you to do the first dungeon?

 

[AlexFlame116]

Here's the proof also.

Safe
Easy
Normal
Hard I'm pretty sure are all of them

 

[Teknoman]

Wait, if mine is two day shipping and says it'll arrive Tuesday...I wonder what'll happen if I do one day shipping lol?

 

[kollapse]

My Amazon Canada situation for the TYH edition is frustrating and scary.

Preordered last year, old credit card with old billing address, can't update it due to an error. Chatted 6 times since Thursday and called twice with no resolution.

Anyone else in the same place?

 

[Olengie]

Mine changed to Thursday as well for the TYH edition...now to start to worry. Please report back if you have any luck or they let you know why the delay.

I contacted them yesterday and the rep said mine had a note saying Hazardous materials and payment decline. The payment decline was bs because it was paid off.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Wait, if mine is two day shipping and says it'll arrive Tuesday...I wonder what'll happen if I do one day shipping lol?

I was wondering that too!

I'm guessing that in my situation they'll just ship it tomorrow. That way it will arrive in Tuesday. One-Day shipping!

 

[Fakeknowledge]

How much days did it take you to do the first dungeon?

4-5 trips in total, although one of those trips was just to go in and beat the boss. I grinded for a bit but only because i had to leave to progress at the end of it, so i used what i had left whilst i was in there. Playing on normal btw.

 

[Ricker]

Safe
Easy
Normal
Hard I'm pretty sure are all of them

Okay so normal must be challenging if there's a very easy(safe) lol...going to start on normal...age old question,can you change the difficulty during play(would be a first for Persona games I think) but most games do now...
