What is going on in that translation thread lol? I have to say as English isn't my first language I'm not bothered about the translation errors. I'm probably not even seeing them.
I believe it is 10 if you include the golden only dungeon.
Good game comes out, people find the smallest nit picks to poke at.

People with the special edition how's the bag quality wise? Can you also take some pics.
I'm a native English speaker and outside of technicalities like haven't vs didn't I really don't see the issue either.
I sometimes see a weird line, but I think it's 100% part of the charm. I also wouldn't want them to be patched out.
An occasional stilted sentence is just Persona for me. I love that some of the prompts can be downright silly or overly wordy, it adds to the sometimes incredibly dry sense of humor the game has. I love it.
Lmao brute-forced the second and hopefully final mini boss in the first dungeon. Kept rushing and retrying until I got lucky with crits and boss' misses.
The fact that allies respawn with 1hp at the end of a battle if they died is just... It's great. Couldn't gotten this far if it wasn't for that.
Hah, not even gonna check. If someone here already called the translation mucked up and extremely disappointing just because of some dumb cherry-picked lines they saw on twitter, the people there are probably unreachable.

And how many does P5 have? The dungeons are huge in this one aren't they?
Eh two of the examples used didn't bother me because it was spoken by one of the Velvet Room inhabitants. I'd expect them to have strange dialog like that. The rest are kind of valid but didn't really bother me. I remember P3 and P4 having similar occasional lines of weirdness.

Geez, just started the game. The overscan is so bad I can barely see the UI and the button prompts. I hope they patch this like Square did with FFXV because it's really harming the experience. I don't get why so the overscan system settings on PS4 prove to be so useless for so many games.
Edit: fuck, even the subtitles are cut off. Whenever there are two lines, I can't see the second one at all...

yeah, it's frustrating. i doubt the game is selling THAT much, more that places just either aren't stocking it or only got a few copies in and those are all going.
ah well. i've been waiting on this game for years, i'll just put it out of my mind for the time being until it's possible to buy.

Nedgame has an import version: https://www.nedgame.nl/playstation-3/persona-5/3953614040/
edit: crap link doesn't work but you'll find it by searching.
I actually contected nedgame about it and they said they will get the ps3 version this week, which would be an USA import version as they can't get a PAL version. Maybe that causes the delay?
edit: Thanks for the update, time to order that

Out for delivery!! So excited.
It's actually quite realistic how P5 handles it. The circumstance doesn't matter at all, people judge him for having a criminal record and having assaulted someone, there are also many ridiculous rumors about the MC, you can hear them when you listen in on what the other students chat about. That's how people are, you need to take everything you hear about someone with a grain of salt, not only in the world of Persona 5.
He also didn't "assault" anyone but someone very special and the one he wanted to protect probably testified against him too, out of fear I guess...
Translation question:
Could anyone tell me what Morgana was saying (early game spoilers)
Just curious as my google-fu is coming up empty.

when shouting at the others to come back after he helps them the second time and they just bail?
Sounds like "Ne-i-wa" and he combines it as well as like "Ja-ne-i-wa" and "Maji-ne-i-wa"

I'm an expert on Japanese culture so I can explain this to you. The Japanese culture is big on honor and respect and the main character is considered to be unhonorable so adults treat him like shit. If you're an adult you're more likely to believe another adult.
Those 'dumb, cherry-picked lines' were pointed out by various Japanese/English translators who are currently playing the game and who aren't happy with how the translation was handled. And there's more than just a few of them.
If it doesn't bother you that's great, but there's really no need to be this defensive.
I think there's also a cultural divide in that Japan as a society places more emphasis on conformity so people like the protagonist, just for having an assault record no matfer the reasons, are considered outcasts and inconviences.

Did any review mention this?
Got my copy but it's the fucking steelbook.
Oh no, poor you.
I think the P5 steelbook is the best looking game case I ever owned. I'm not really a fan of steelbooks but damn.
I think 6 plus the
Tower style dungeon
I just got done with dungeon 2 and have 8 days left before the event, and im 20 hours in
That's fine. How does that translate to a mucked up and extremely disappointing translation again when literally the rest, like 99% of the translation is good, even great at times?
I'm not being particularly defensive, just calling out dumb hyperbole.
True, I didn't think much about the cultural difference as it would be almost the same where I live, less because of honor but more because people are extra careful with strangers(What the MC is also on top of having that criminal record tag). -Plus you will have trouble finding any job with any kind of criminal record(most employers demand a leumund certificate) here.
I haven't read any reviews, so I wouldn't know. I recall someone mentioning that the reviewers didn't mention anything about the lackluster translation though.
But, it's not 99%, that's the problem. It's incredibly stilted - literally translated and with some grammatical mistakes, at least according to a bunch of people on twitter and in the other thread. If there were just a few instances of it happening I wouldn't have mentioned it. A lot of people, especially non-native speakers, won't notice or won't be bothered by it, but that doesn't mean that the translation as a whole couldn't have been a lot better. Don't get me wrong, the game isn't an incomprehensible mess, but this is Atlus and Persona we're talking about - I expected more.
I like the ordinary cover much more. But nobody's selling the ordinary cover.
Wait, there's an in-game countdown to an event? There wasn't such thing in P4G as I remember.
Hate this fact too, could only play it 5 hours yesterday and won't be able to play more than about 4 hours today either, as I have to get up early in the morning and have to work 'till 8pm today -.-
If I remember right he's basically screaming about how there's no reason for this to be happening or for them to be treating him like this. So like a No, this is not happening, This is seriously not happening kind of thing. The nei~ you're hearing is just a colloquial version of nai, the negative form of aru which can be used to express that something shouldn't be happening (often with the phrase koto wa), in addition to its plain negative meaning.

I would have bought the game even if it was shipped in a used diaper.Got my copy but it's the fucking steelbook.
There was.
Once the fog set in, the victim in the current dungeon died and you got a non-standard gameover.
