Really enjoyed the first hour. Such a shame though this didn't get a proper PS4 treatment or at least a pro cleanup.

does it matter beating palaces in the minimum amount of days? i try to space out my time in palaces with life activities in the full alotted time? should i just be rushing through the palace asap?

I ordered two of them, going to the same address. One is arriving today and one is shipping soon :|
Be careful out there. There are Twitter bots spoiling Persona 5. I only got partially spoiled I think because I quickly realized what I was reading. I can't even tell you the name of the bot because that is a spoiler. Maybe mute a bunch of stuff related to Persona including character names.

Man work is going to feel long as hell today. Going to be thinking about my copy sitting at home.
It's so frustrating. It still technically says arriving today by 8, but I've never had something that's been shipped same day from Amazon arrive as intended.
Well, the faster you finish dungeons, the more free time you have to do other stuff. Improve stats, do social links etc. It's highly doubtful you'll be able to do everything you want (if you want to do all social links etc) on your first run even if you did manage to finish the dungeons in the minimum number of days, so I wouldn't stress too much about it.
I admit I'm a dumbass when it comes to these games, but seeing how hard even the first dungeon was to finish in one day on easy no less, I'd say you shouldn't even expect to finish dungeons in just the min number of days.

Generally, the minimum you can beat them is 2 or 3 days. I forget if you can do the calling card the same day as the boss. Though there are some levels that may require extra days. You don't need to rush through them. As I believe the game will force you to do the palace if you wait too long. The only reason for you to do them early, is so you can focus on daily life stuff.

No, they were literally PS2 games. P3 and P4 were never released on PS3.

Just got the game. Downloading jpn voices as we speak. Time to disappear from the real world for a while lol
You can buy back personas you registered to the compendium.
But you shouldn't really get attached to Arsene either just because it is the MC's starting persona. Eventually it becomes useless.
You can buy both of your personae back once you fuse them. Although it's not worth the money.
Don't worry, actually you're "supposed" to fuse Arsene, you will get even a specific cutscene. This is they way the game tells you not to get "attached" to specific Personas, as the only way to get the strongest ones is by fusing constantly

Me three. Looks like a lot of us got screwed. They even confirmed me by e-mail it would be shipped.

They were as PS2 classics.
Nooo. Welp. I really liked the look of Arsene. And I certainly wasn't expecting to part with him /this/ early on.
The frustrating thing is I could have kept him around longer if I hadn't talked Incubus into joining up with me. (Seeing as how a Pixie and a Jack-o-Latern would have given me a level 5 Incubus). I've been trying to discard him but I guess I can't do that just yet?
Edit:
Well...if it's something that's /supposed/ to happpen then I guess I don't feel too bad about

losing him this early.
I'm absolutely loving the game, but it really does feel like a PS3 game that fell into a time portal. I wonder what they spent those two extra years on, because large parts of the game feel like they were just lifted straight out of P4 and given a new coat of paint. I'm not exactly complaining, but I do wish they'd spent some time changing up the daily life mechanics.
Semi spoilerish rant:
I was super bummed last night when I realised I would have to sit through one week of exams and then another week of dungeon exposition without any opportunity to go outside my room. You're telling me i can't read a book or go return a DVD during the evening because I have an appointment _after school tomorrow_? Seriously Morgana? I get that Atlus doesn't want to give the player too much rope to hang themselves, but it still feels extremely hand-holdey at times.
I have pretty much 0 HP and SP and i'm stuck in the first dungeon... any beginner tips how to move forward? I have 5 days left to find the treasure so should i just leave the castle and buy some healing items?

pretty sure you can just buy arsene back for like 2500 gold from Igor
question - do buffs/debuffs stack in battle? like if raise attack twice in a row, will it stack or just extend the rounds and attack stays the same as just raising it once?
You can play however you want, but you are going to be encountering new personas often, and fusing them just as quick. They come and go, and with each fusion comes new abilities or higher stats. Sure you can latch on to one or the other but early on you will really be limiting yourself.
I fuse as soon as I see there is someone new to make, and as long as I have all my offensive elements and recovery spells covered, I don't care.
You can't really 1-day dungeons in P5 as easy as you could in other games. At least not early on.

Read more books. The game says that, not me.
At least a theme! It would be awesome!
Dear Sony/atlus, please at least release it for the Xperia theme engine and then we can probably port it to other devices ourselfs! ^^
I've only played around 3 hours but
When you first go to bed and you have the kinda flashback about the attack,the man says something about how hes shaping this city and how the police are his bitches etc etc. I assumed he is in some kind of power and fucked the kid over for meddling.
I dunno though, Im only three hours in

Edit: I'm dumb and misremembered, what I say below is wrong lol
Just over two hours in now, on the evening of 4/11. Quick question about a gameplay mechanic, you can spoiler tag your answer if you want.
I remember that in Persona 4, it was best to complete a dungeon on the last possible day, since the game would jump ahead a bit if you finished it early, and you would lose those days for Social Linking. Is that the same in Persona 5?

yeah same, i find it REALLY easy to get money so far ( in 2nd palace)
i just fight every enemy on my map, and steal every obj available. only worked once so far
It means you should leave the dungeon and try again the next day.
But i have only 5 days left, how many do i need for the dungeon?
When you leave and sleep you get your HP/SP restored.
So if you are running out of HP/SP in-dungeon and can't really proceed further and don't have items to restore it, find a safe room and leave and come back a different day and pick up where you left off.
Took me about 4 days I think for the first dungeon. I'm not super conservative with SP but I'm not spending it left and right either. Generally you want to get in the dungeons and make progress when they first open to you and save side stuff for the down time afterwards.
2-3 days at most if you pick your battles. Add in another mandatory day for the dungeon-end mechanic and you're cutting it close at 4 days.
