Got an early copy from Amazon today, really excited to play! Unfortunately, Amazon can't ship shit without things getting damaged (they had absolutely no bubble wrap or air cushions whatsoever inside the shipping box) so that's sucks.

Oof. Wow. That isn't just a little bit. That thing is wrecked. I hope you complain.

Fuuu

Got spoiled by the review thread!!!
Thought 4/4 was refering to early april in the game.


Fuck, how do I forget this.
Can we start using the terms early game or after X palace?

That's not a spoiler. It's Morgana's catchphrase of sorts. 4/4 does refer to the beginning of the game, it's something morgana says when you first meet. It's literally the first line you hear from morgana in the introduction trailer.

Steelbook in mail, should arrive tomorrow. Almost hard to believe this is actually coming out! Was gonna go on media blackout for this game but the giant bomb quick look was too tempting, opening looks real promising, can't wait to check it out!

Guys without any spoilers, what difficulty should I start on?

Main thing I don't want is losing one hour of playtime due to something ridiculous like getting into a battle and all my party members being one shotted instantly.

I love challenges like Souls games and I played Persona 4 Golden but don't really remember the difficulty that much since it was a while ago.

Thanks!

I don't like the japanese VO, though I'm early in the game so i haven't heard everyone.

MC: obviously a great voice, but so is the english one
Ryuji: I think the english voice fits better for a thug/punk. Don't get that vibe from the japanese voice.
Ann: probably on par. Neither is great.
Morgana: I only hear Chopper from One Piece...

There's really too much dialogue that goes missing, in the dungeon anyway.

Not only that you miss out on the background chatter as well, as it may not be important it adds to the setting. Plus I really don't think anyone wants to miss out on the lines that some of the demons say during combat as they can be pretty funny.

I'm going through the third dungeon and I'm loving hard, challenging you to use all the tools at your disposal and choosing your moves carefully.

I'll manage. I can't deal with the Suck-oh-mah-toe garbage in the dub.

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.

Does the protagonist have a given name? If not, is it wrong I named him Arsene Lupin?
Click to expand...

He's called Akira Kurusu in the manga adaption that the eventual anime adaption and any spinoff will most likely ignore, but calling him "Arsene Lupin" might not be the best idea considering that Arsene Lupin is the protagonist's Persona...

Boo, my TYH edition is still stuck in Texas because Amazon shipped it this morning with two day shipping. Not only did I anticipate release day delivery, I also paid for one day shipping. Maybe that was a mistake. Wednesday night can't come soon enough, I'm going to have a hell of a time not throwing down for the digital version tonight...

's English VAs should have been switched with each other to match how their characters are in the JP VA.

Oh shit thanks for the heads up, I almost went through with that!

I will go with Akira Kurusu, have always honored the protagonists name in these games.

Just got a call from GameStop. They'll apparently be selling the game at 9 tonight!
Click to expand...

Weird, my local 'Stop said they aren't doing any sales until tomorrow at usual opening time.

On that note, do we know if the PSN version is going live at midnight? I'm debating a little bit, though I also don't know if I'll be awake enough at midnight to really appreciate the game

Anyone with the digital version on PS4 know what time the game goes live? Thinking about going digital for the English release if Amazon fails me

This. I'd go with japanese if I were able to understand japanese, but I don't. And I don't want to miss out on all that other dialogue with the demons and various background chatter etcetera.

I'm 10 hours in, by the way. There's a lot of background chatter in the cutscenes taking place at school, for example. Or on the streets.

I didnt have this problem with Nioh or Horizon. Even got those early!

It's an international issue. From uk and I've been on dispatching now for 12 hours. Still a chance they might make it though. In other news, Amazon is selling the standard edition now.

What kind of background chatter? Damn, I'm starting to think I'll just play it in English.
Click to expand...

It's mostly just stuff like "ahh it's so warm today" and "I'm bored." The idle chatter is nothing, and the only background dialogue that matters is all displayed in floating text windows, and isn't voiced most of the time anyway. The stuff you can hear is just shortened versions of what's in text boxes. Something I've noticed is that in the dub, the bulk of the background chatter is actually a lot louder than​ it was in Japanese, and in the anime cutscenes in particular it tends to drown out the music a lot. I think Atlus USA messed up the sound mixing there a bit and made dialogue you're barely meant to hear sound too loud.

Is the steelbook version a limited edition? I just went to gamestop to pay off my copy and I didn't know there was a steelbook vs regular edition that was the same price. I had the steel on preorder apparently so just wondering.

I thought so, too, but I didn't want to be mean... This is really disappointing, since

I've been doing so research and the PS3 version seems fine? It's just running 720p vs 1080p on ps4?

I might have to pick this up if that's the case.
