Still in the first dungeon. I'm curious, how many in game days did it take for any of you to complete the first dungeon? I'm talking about the point where you're cut loose.

Game is great so far. Wife said "this game is dumb" then proceeded to ask about the entire story and watch 20 minutes.
New story, but feels like Persona.

I didn't have any issues understanding from the English localization though.

Same here. I'm done with the first palace. How do I get my stuff?

Family Restaurant in Shibuya. It also levels up another stat in addition to knowledge, but costs money.

Is there seriously no english subs in battle?

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
This is what I'm noticing, it's quicker at putting you into gameplay, but the focus has been so narrow in the first 4 hours compared to the last two.

The English translation heavily implies that
Shido had the police falsify their police report to make the protagonist the initial aggressor.

Some of the writing in this game is killing me. I love it.
I can't tell if some of this stuff is intentional or not but I'm getting a kick out of it regardless.
And the music is just sublime.
Man, this being my first Persona makes me feel like I missed out on some great games.

Then all good for you. =) I've seen quite a few folks that don't understand how it could happen and are bewildered by that line I described above.
3 or 4 should be fine. You barely have any SP items unless you had a shopping spree from the vending machines. Palaces are quite big in P5 so invest on proper persona and equipment.

Well you need at the bare minimum of 3 days to complete dungeon, even more since now dungeon can have gimmicks that force you outside before you are allowed to proceed, as can be seen in the 2nd one (which I assume is going to be repeated on the next dungeons...) I managed to complete it in 5 days, IIRC. 2 days exploring and the rest the mandatory thing the game forced you to do.
I was caught off guard by the fact that the game forced you to go out and spend 2 days before you are allowed to fight the dungeon's boss tho and I have no save file to correct my assumption >_<
First full conversation with Ann stuff
The scene where the MC and her first talk alludes to that fact that he wrote down some love hotel for them to meet at and she was making excuses like appendicitis to delay having to go there.

I just took that as Sojiro knowing the actual situation because he is close enough to the MC's family to serve as his guardian, and everyone else just assumed what you just said because they had less details. Also it seemed like Sojiro thought he should stay out of it regardless if she was being raped or not, because their society seems to value bowing to authority over justice, and at least from where I'm at that seems to be a major theme of the game.

Wait a min..what do you mean loading every 5sec ?! my digital copy queued up dl. and sir you better speak up now, damnit.
A mid game spoiler on why MC is convicted and why he is received in such a way by others. Only click if you are really bothered by this and want answe otherwise stick with the game so it will be explained later.
the guy you stopped used his power and influence to force the lady to give false testimony. This is detrimental and the most important "evidence". She reported you assaulted the guy when they were having a friendly conversation. And basically the police and prosecution and all that guys lap dog so MC is convinced. For everyone else you just a violent teen who assaulted someone with no reason.

Someone on the writing team was obviously a big fan of Innocent Sin. Or they got Tadashi to do some ghost writing.
Lol.

There are a lot of transitional loading screens between actions, most are only a few seconds long
NESpowerhouse
Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
Is Sojiro a fucking pimp or something? I haven't started his social link, so I wouldn't know. I'm just wondering because he wears some of the pimpinest shit I've ever seen anybody outside of actual pimps wear.
My last two trips to Osaka I could have picked it up, but I held off because of work commitments, but dove in today. After 4 full playthroughs on Vita and PS2 copies of P4, it still feels the same but fresh.
The only thing that actually bothers me is the loading screen between every screen change. other than that, it's pretty amazing.

This just happened for me before school on 4/21
Playing on English, I didn't have any issues with this because it was explained what actually transpired later,
that the bad guy pressured the woman to falsely report that the protagonist actually assaulted him. That and he wielded immense political power. It could be confusing at first but it was clear that the whole story wasn't clear from the start. It was never about stopping an attempted rape.

So, quick question, is there any penalty to finishing the first dungeon (or any for that matter) early? Does it skip any remaining days or not?
No penalty - the sooner the better imo.
This may be a different difficulty thing, but I found that resolving battles through negotiation on hard give about the same exp as killing enemies. But if you were fighting a battle against three enemies and didn't kill the other two before negotiating, you'd get less, yeah. But if it's just one enemy, then it's pretty much the same exp.

Cool. Thanks.
6 hours in and finally going at it in the Palace. I had to pry myself away from the TV because it's getting late. I cannot wait to get back into more of this tomorrow. It's been ages since I've really sat down with a Persona game, since I beat Golden years ago. My love for the series is being reignited because so far this has been fantastic.

It can feel like the dungeons are getting in the way of the real game, lol, which is to juggle between confidants, daily jobs, raising stat... the real persona experience, haha.
Ahh... it's a good feeling tho, barring the completely idiotic decision to disallow screen capture.

You'll see what I mean as you get further. If you're interested now, suracity's spoiler actually explains in detail and is the way the events were supposed to be viewed by everyone in the game world. The dialogue is crafted in such a way that everyone you encounter in Tokyo is supposed to view it as suracity points out including
Sojiro
Yep! This is exactly it for folks that want to spoiler themselves.
Yeah, it makes more sense as you go further into the story but I saw a lot of folks that were bewildered early on, especially with the character I talked about. The story is supposed to make it clear that this is the case to the player early on and confirms it for you later.

I need to stay away from this thread. No budget for the game right now. Lol
Just left the second visit to the
only a few hours into the game and I love it.
Morgana is great and really loving the changes to the gameplay as well. This game just rocks so far. Cannot wait to play more tomorrow.
Persona games to me are like reading a great book, I just keep saying one more page one more page and its extremely late and I have to get to bed.

Super happy my TYH edition actually arrived today. I was worried Amazon would pull some bullshit and I wouldn't get it. The delivery dude actually delivered it to our apartment door instead of just dropping it off in the office or pretending my wife wasn't there to pick it up. It was a long day at work, that's for sure, but I'm finally sitting down and playing now! I'm still pissed that Atlus won't let us stream the game. I enjoy cataloging my playthroughs of my new games, and it's absurd that they're being so paranoid about spoilers. I don't have capture equipment, so PS4 Share button has been great for logging my gameplay adventures. Meh.
Really digging it so far, but I'm stupidly early still.
I think I missed something early in the game. During the dream sequence with the woman, what happened because the guy said I'm too slow and told the girl to get into the car but my game continued. I'm assuming I was supposed to control the character and save the girl but NOPE, I'm no hero. What did I miss?

About 25 hrs in, love everything about this game
Biggest nitpicks because its all so damn good i want more of it...
Wish there were more variety of songs thats play during battle, more one liners during battle, and more end battle poses. In general just more variety of sfx and posing of characters. Its all so freaking gorgeous but playing SO many battles it starts to get tiring hearing morgana say "cool job joker!" 3x in a row after using a skill.

Yum, there's a skybox. Moving clouds, but still. I love that stuff.
If you're fast forwarding, maybe.
I'm 4 days or so away then. Thank god. I'm getting sick of this handholding.
Play on hard mode.
"King" boss that captures Ann. If you don't have various Personae at this point, your team can be wiped out with the exception of like Ann and Morgana
If you're talking ONE-MORE:
Baton Pass to another party member to knock down another demon to set-up for HOLD-UP->ALL-OUT ATTACKs
Yup the new changes to battle system have been fantastic. The baton passes, the negotiation system, the hiding/ambush system. etc
Me too. I got
all the way up to the tower area where the floor starts breaking apart and just couldn't push any further.
Feels harder than P3/4 was for me.

I appreciate the spoiler request Shouta.
I suppose there's the degree of making it clear? Because it would be weird to have a scene later explaining what actually happened if there was no ambiguity in the first place.
