If I have one complaint so far it's the ambient dialog bubbles popping up in your view. Seems every time I'm trying to read a door label or sign a speech bubble gets in the way.
Yeah it's awful. I much preferred the old "sneaky sinister" sounding voice from Persona 4.
Yes! I thought I was going mad.

Good decision.
Persona is played (esp. in safe mode) / seen by many as kind of VN. What's the point of buying or playing it if you are lazy enough to watch a virtual friend playing it instead. The game is lengthy but has a very low replayability IMO, at least for people not in the "waifu" weirdness.
Yes, other very short games with no replayability and story driven allow it, their choice.
Plus I don't want to get spoiled by a shitty Tumblr account / Youtube video thumbnail or title while googling for some hints.
Same. I'm actually outside the dungeon after school and I'm just wandering around the city, talking to people, messing around and taking it all in before I decide how to pass time (I've been in the 1st dungeon 3 times so far and done a few of the confidants). I'm excited to go back and get through the dungeon but right now I just want to bathe in the atmosphere and lore of it all.

Yeah my biggest complaint by far. Doesn't match the way he sounds in my head when I see his portrait. Really off-putting.

Not sure if you played Trails of Cold Steel but she's voiced by the woman who voiced Fie. One of the twins sounds a hell of a lot like Sara, too.

So many anime cutscenes, hope it keeps up the frequency the whole game. Still not done with the first dungeon in 5 hours.

Actually, I think this is because of a careless translation. Spoilers for it but
The English translation makes it look like it was recognized as the bad guy there was going to rape the woman. However the wording in Japanese wording reads as him trying to hit on her/get friendly with her. This is a super important distinction because the latter makes it easier to understand how it could be covered up. It might actually be a bit of a big fuck-up.
No one able to help me out here?
I consulted the activity log (thank the stars this feature returned - helped me out a lot in P4) and 70% went straight into the dungeon. 10% did a job/studied and 20% did an S link. Again, just wanna know if there are basically "no S link" days coming up like the rainy days in P4 where I can safely hop into dungeons without missing much else.

Wow, really? That's some impressive range.
yeah played both. didn't notice it at first but i can see it now.
Yeah that's one of the few problems I'm having with this game. "Go to the Gizca line" (or whatever it was) and I spent a good while just squinting at signs.
...which is probably pretty realistic but they could've used some better signage for a game.

I believe the track is called Tokyo Emergency. I hear it playing right now on 4/12 at school.
4 hours in.
And yep das it mane.
Was initially a little bored but then things started to get real.
I will say they do lay it on a bit thick with the "look at this POS. watch out he might shank you" stuff....like I want to know what did the guy who pushed (?) said to the press for you to get that kind of rep. Then again HS rumors do tend to get out of hand so I guess it accurate...but damn everyone treats you like shit.
which is also kind of a breath of fresh air after being God in P4 and Jesus in P3....although I am sure one will end the game as a diety too.

You can talk to the staff there and they give directions too. Didn't have a problem with it (Although I have been to the actual station before) and you only really have to do it once anyway.

Intro is definitely a little too long, or at least it feels much longer than P3 and P4.
P4 felt much slower to me.
Ah didn't know that. Felt a bit lost but that makes sense to talk to staff, haha. Good to know!

Not sure, but this one time I ducked into a safe room after getting spotted by an enemy, when I zoned back out he was right there waiting for me and he got a first attack on me. So that sucked.

P4 seriously felt like an eternity
I'd even rate it as feeling longer than the infamous KH2 intro

1 hour in. Dont thimk its fair to really judge, but besides presentstion im not impressed. I thimk im just not into story driven games anymore, because I just find the writing incredibly stilted, and when thats all im doing, its not fun. After the tenth time my new dad told me not to do anything stupid, its just annoying and not in a funny way.
Cool menus tho.

Enemies spotting you right as you open doors is the worst, feels so cheap.

I absolutely cannot believe that not everything is subtitled in cutscenes. I'm watching one of the first cutscenes and they focus on a newscaster for 20 seconds of pure untranslated unsubtitled Japanese audio. Then they do it a second time.
What on earth? Why would this choice ever be made?

That's the only way to play IMO. It's fun to juggle all of the choices on your own. Plus there's always NG+ for mopping up anything you missed. It's impossible to Platinum the game in one playthrough anyway. So I'd go for blind run for the first time, then use a guide to max everything out in NG+.
This is already lovely and I've hardly done anything (just passed school day one). There have been so many amazing games recently, but this is immediately like a warm blanket. And I think that's kind of funny considering how aggressively stylish this is. Even the damn menus are cool.
Liking the english VA so far too, for what it's worth.

Anyone in the same boat, never played any of the Persona series but overwhelming hype and ridiculous high reviews made me look..in nother words would I/you enjoyed this type of RPG as a NEW comer?
The Persona games are all pretty much stand alone so you're good on that front. There are a few references and maybe a cameo or two that you may not get but nothing big.
Its the most polished Persona title yet so go for it.
