Persona 4 did that? I don't remember Persona 4 doing that.

Been on hold with Amazon customer service for 23 minutes now. This is the worst experience I've ever had with them. I'll think twice about getting games/release day items from Amazon now. If I'm given the option I'm canceling this shit and popping by Gamestop later today. Ridiculous

Persona 4 did not do that. If you did it early, you could still play normally.
I don't think that's right... I used to play it on the easiest mode and beat the dungeon in one night. Then I would just enjoy the social aspects. Did that one a few playthroughs. I don't recall any skipping of days.
I have the same problem sometimes with the subtitles but it doesn't really bother me.
Yes.
There should be a on screen overlay/prompt on objects you can hide behind/jump between. You can't do it just anywhere.
But he needs to wait for the tutorial, you can't do it before.

Yeah, let me rephrase: Persona 4 definitely did not do that but I don't want to be confrontational about it.
That would totally destroy the balance of the game. Can you imagine? Losing out on like a month of personal and S.Link progress because you beat the dungeon early? You'd never recover.

I must have not been remembering correctly, sorry for the confusion! Thanks everyone!
It's really obnoxious looking. I know I'm going to obsess over it.

I think it only did it on the last dungeon in the original game. If I remember right if you beat it early it would send you straight to
Christmas Eve
I'm pretty sure Persona 4 will skip days if you beat the

Yeah, I played Golden so I don't think I dealt with that at all.
I've never played a Persona game (or an SMT game, for that matter...maybe even anything from Atlus?) and this one is being touted as a good entry point for n00bz to the series. I likely won't get to this until late summer at the earliest, but I'm just curious: what's the length expectation? How long does it take to beat these games for the average player?

Woke up an hour ago and checked USPS tracking. My copy is out for delivery, and the mail carrier always comes around 10am in my neighborhood. 2 hours to go!!

There isn't a facepalm big enough to describe this. It's almost Google Translate level, dōzo yoroshiku shouldn't be so hard to grasp for a human translator...
Oh btw is anyone else having problem with screen portions being cut off? I'm playing on a old tv set with no option to deactivate overscan (if that's the reason) and I'm going insane lol.

That's the (in)famous "mind you own fucking business" mentality, it's not exclusive to a specific country or culture. Anyway, yeah he commited a crime any sane person would be proud of (cutting a rapist head wide open) and he gets shit for it.

100 hours give or take.
It's intimidating, I know. But it's essential to the Persona experience. By the time you finish the game your friends feel like real friends. You build genuine bonds with them that can only be forged through spending the equivalent of four IRL days getting to know them and growing together.

New Persona player here, only ever touched P4G briefly before selling my Vita.
Any tips for when I should bother acquiring new Personas? Only just started the first dungeon.

It's shitty that Sojiro gives you crap about it but it's revealed shortly after that this guy was a politician or something that had the police in his pocket. "You fucked with the wrong guy" basically.

Just played the first 2 hours. So fucking happy I've got another Persona game to deep-dive into!
As soon as the mechanic is introduced. Having at least one persona of each element is advisable.

A question, can you get locked chests after you've stolen a treasure?

As soon as you're able to.
Love how all SLs seem to have other, unique gameplay effects that unlock as you rank up on top of the EXP boosts. I can't wait to see the rest of the social links.
I was level 8 when I beat him with ease, though I was on easy. So normal/hard, maybe around 9-11.

Nope, took me 1 try.
What would be a good starter persona to have? any fusion tips?
No, the game clearly indicates before you're going to do it that you won't be able to come back to the dungeon once you steal the Treasure

Crap, so I need to leave the world to craft lock picks..

Haven't started this yet, but just going off of old experience:
Don't get attached to Personas, fuse and recruit constantly (you can buy them back if necessary). Make it a priority to have at least one persona for each element to exploit weaknesses.
I believe you can only craft them during evenings when you're home? So it'd take you an evening or even two or three to craft enough lockpicks, then one more to go around getting the chests.
Not sure if it's worth it tbh. No idea what the chests in the first dungeon contain though I admit.
Dunno about a specific good starter persona, but a good general tip is to aim to have a wide variety of skills. So attack skills of all types, healing skills, different buffs and debuffs and so on. Physical skills are kind of whatever, imo, at least early on.

Good news: (minor gameplay element spoilers)
You have to leave and come back to steal the treasure anyway, so you can just craft them then.

His delivery of every line is so good. That guy is spectacular. I've been thinking of finding him on Twitter just to give him props.
Nope, ENG dub is ace
Honestly, this is the best dub I've heard for an anime (thing) in a long time. (5 hours in)

In previous Persona games, I always made a quad elemental persona as soon as I was able to. That way I could knock down enemies without having to switch persona every turn and finish off battles with all out attacks. It's pretty SP reliant, though. Making one Persona a dedicated healer is also good.
Don't get too attached to a persona and fuse them away if needed. You can always resummon via the compendium, just be sure to overwrite the compendium copy with the latest version that has the skills you want.
