Good sign if the game is already selling out in some countries, hope P5 vastly outperforms sales expectations.
If you have any experience with anime that's just some of the Japanese voice actors:
In other words, the cast is otherworldy. If you want a taste you just have to compare Morgana's voice in the Japanese trailers compared to the English ones featuring her.
Lol. Unfortunately I can't fall asleep at the drop of a hat, so I guess I won't be doing that.
Will definitely try to get up at 6am or so, can get a bit of gaming in before the presentation. So if I make an ass out of myself and die of embarrassment, I'll die happy knowing that at least I got to play a bit of P5 before I died.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Anyone got any more "10 beginner tips" like the 'press square to auto heal' above ?

Not if Atlus USA has anything to say about it.
Check your phone regularly or you will be missing out on some relationship triggers. Aka check each day even if you don't have a pop up for it.

I read somewhere that you can zoom in and out in Palaces? Maybe I'm confusing with another game.

Modern Persona games always reviewed really well in Europe and all we have ever gotten is the English language release, so I'm not surprised, really.
You have the UK, Scandinavia and other smaller countries were English original audio is the norm for pretty much all the movies and as a result everyone speaks English very well, and Germany/Austria/Switzerland where English only is never a problem for most people that actually play videogames (heck, all the German gaming outlets that picked up P3 and P4 back when they released in 2008/2009 gave the game glowing reviews).
It's probably France and to a lesser extend Italy and Spain where you lose out the most sales without localization. Even without that the game will do well in abovementioned countries and that's a 130 Million+ target audience easily.
A request for professional gif makers in this thread.
I would like it if someone took the part from Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid OP:
https://youtu.be/dyGBqeSUDPw
And change the text where Kobayashi is typing "Maid Dragon" over and over to replace it with "Persona 5".
I think it would make for an amusing hype gif.

Ok, I purchased Persona 5 last night on PSN. As I completed the transaction, I got an error message, but the order completed, my funds are gone from my account, even got an email confirming my purchase.
But I can't seem to get Persona 5 to preload. It's nowhere on my dashboard, and when I go into the store to initiate the preload I get a clock that says "preorder, Persona 5 15 Hours 24 minutes, etc".
I've preordered games from PSN before, something doesn't seem right. Any help would be appreciated.

Bah. Lucky. I just hope this storm incoming doesnt hold my order back for too long.

It shouldn't really matter, at least in my opinion. Then again, I play JP games with the original language, even though I can't speak a word of Japanese
When I played P4G, I could never really enjoy it because I got sucked in to the guides and tried to min/max everything. It wasn't fun having to read about all the possible outcomes of my actions before I could even play the game.
I plan on playing P5 without any guides or help whatsoever. Is it going to be worth it with the missed opportunities and social links? Did anyone play P4 this way and if so how did it go?

I mean, I do too, but we're all nerds here.
Good luck trying to sell this game to french or spanish teenagers with their broken ass english.
There's 2 hours of intro where not much happens and it's only dialogues, if you don't understand what's being said, I can't see where the fun would be
.I played P4G blind and it was fantastic. I used a guide for the True Ending in NG+. That was an amazing experience. I'll be doing the same thing for this game if it works the same way.
Using a guide destroys the fun of discovery and freedom of how you're meant to play it.
Yeah, I don't think using a guide is good. You remove any semblance of freedom you have. Just do what you want.

Yeah, I suppose that could be a problem
Luckily most (of the older) gamers are bilingual in Europe.
Although that's more born from necessity than anything else.
Why would it? In Germany kids learn English really early and fast. I've played my first import games at 10 years old and learned faster by playing through games and watching anime. We German people think that we speak bad English till we travel to other countries haha
France also had many only English titles in the past afaik and Spain too. Nothing new.

Ehh I would be surprised if teens wouldn't understand any English dialogue. They will get by just fine with their school knowledge (if they have that, but how else are you surfing for your cool memes and stuff nowadays?)

Signed. Reading guides basically kills half the game and turns it into stressful busywork and you'll waste hours being glued to the guide. If you do a NG+ you can easily max everything and get your Platinum trophy. Enjoy that first playthrough.

? I don't think there are anywhere near 130 million ps3+ps4 combined in only the above mentioned countries. Don't think that math checks out on that. :/

UK here, amazon just shipped my copy.
So hyped

Speaking of which, has anyone come up with a fusion calculator or at least a google sheet for this yet? Would help planning ahead immensely.
Should, yes.

I'm talking about the number of people that can probably play the game in English as a 'target group'. Obviously the number of console owners in those countries is going to be alot smaller.
Is it just me or is the 2nd dungeon too easy? [Second dungeon spoilers]
I mean they had had to artificially cut it up or I could have finished it in a single playthrough with a couple of Cafe Leblanc items. I'm at the part where I have to send the boss my calling card so no spoilers please.
I never used guides for SMT/persona games but fusion charts are really helpful. I do tend to get stuck in a mindset where I NEED to make the thing I have in my head as soon as possible which leads to me over-leveling. It got so bad in P3 and P4 that I ended up soloing with the main character to get exp faster.
All party members get exp I think? So I guess that won't work anymore?

Does his best thinking in the flying car
lol I admit Arkansas is a backward place, but they have always gotten stuff out the door to me on time
Lol this sounds rough. These games without all-out attack are nightmares for me.
It doesn't.

This is why I could never preorder games online for delivery. Hell, waiting for 11 PM tonight feels like an eternity.
Arghhh, my TYH edition hasn't moved all night and still doesn't have a scheduled delivery. UPS put it on my calendar for the 5th, but the tracking number itself doesn't have a date associated with it.
I may end up double dipping on the digital edition if it looks like it's going to be later then Wednesday. I was hoping I was overhyping myself for the TYH edition and I could just get the digital version and send it back, but I really want that goddamn plush.
Huh, I hadn't heard of that either. Quick search shows it's Amazon's ambiguously titled shipping service.

Played for a couple of hours, game ooze style so hard it's insane
Only thing that i'm currently not feelin it's the eng dub, i loved it in 4 so it was obvious that i'd go with it again but it's not blowing me away so far
Can't wait to get off work and spend the night on the game tho
