What are guys playing after P5? I completed Nioh, Yakuza and Nier before P5. It has been a good year.

Sadness.
I managed to complete Yakuza 0, Nioh, RE7, Horizon and Nier before Persona 5, so much greatness.
After P5 I think I'll grab a Switch and go hard on BOTW
Choosing this year's GOTY is gonna be impossible
Can't think of anything other than Crash bandicoot.
this years greatness will stop for few months until something like Ni no Kuni or Red Dead 2 comes out.
NG+ in persona 5.
beyond that maybe nier or actually get back to properly doing my side work instead of putting it off for games like perosna and horizon >.<:

WTF. I'm suddenly 7 levels below the average. Did I miss something?! I need to start trying to level up...
Other than crying, I guess I might start Uncharted 4 or continue replaying P3P.
Most likely I'll probably do a NG+ first, lol.

I thought Futaba was gonna
based on her design but
. Love this game 
be some lame cliche anime character
omg she is such a deeper character

Futaba has one of the better S.Links. probably the best romance scene. And the most funny storyline moments. Why also having deep motivations and focus when required. For me the best character by far.
If I don't attempt to platinum Persona 5 (I think all I'd realistically need is the compendium and beating
the twins
Depends where you are. November the number will go up for everyone and more than the average because of the level up trick.
Thinking of getting MLB the show. Need a break of from rpg's. Nioh after that.

Yesterday I discovered that there are breakable walls in the Memento.

Just means most people go through the Palace or Mementos by that point, don't panic.
The thing I've found being around the average level is that.. I'm overlevelled for everything. :/

Is it possible to find a gem monster from normal enemies walking around? Not including breaking items or a gem floating around.

thanks, just wondering cause I went thro the entire palace without finding a gem monster. Didn't want to try to find it by killing normal enemies.
Dragon 8 because after being restrained so much I needed a classic rpg and well, that feel damn good, lol
Persona 5 NG+
Huh ? Wut?
I'm not sure what single player game I'm going to play next. I'm thinking I'll either replay L.A Noire or play through Siren for the first time.
There are cracked walls you can destroy.

Yeah I pushed X to attack and a wall broke.

I'm only at the second palace, heh. I've been playing Bloodborne and Persona 5 simultaneously, so if I'm not done with Bloodborne when I finish Persona 5, it'll be Bloodborne. Otherwise, I still have Dragon Quest 8 3DS waiting for me. Can't wait to play that.
I actually did see the ER of that and it's what got me interested in the series originally. Not sure what it would be like to go back and play it, I would love to see P3 and 4 ported to PS4 atleast.
I still have Zelda, DQ8, Nioh ongoing, the rate I'm going Persona will be the first of those I finish (not sure I'll finish Zelda)
I want to replay Persona 3 at some point but maybe not straight after

I've got Nier: Automata, Yakuza 0, and Cosmic Star Heroine. I pretty much didn't start any of them yet because I didn't want them to compete with P5 time.

Someone mentioned this is a 100 hour game. Is this correct? I'm assuming for a single play through.
Question regarding Luck Reading:
I'm not completely sure how this works. When I do it and go to the diner I get 2 points instead of 1, but what if I do it on something that already gives 2 or 3 points? I tried and there's no difference in the animation. Is there an actual increase despite the animation being the same or am I wasting my money?
Yes it is. But it's possible to do it in less or more depending on how you play games.

I didn't find anything wrong with this games localization.
There are random lines that probably could've been worded better, but for the most part it's decent.
It functions, but it's not quite the 5/5 standard that we Atlus fans usually associated with them.
There was a thread posted up yesterday regarding a site that tried taking a look at the localization that was in Persona 5. It's pretty well researched and you can feel free to take a look if you are interested. http://www.personaproblems.com/

I started a NG+ once I finished but I wasn't enjoying it as much as I thought I would. Knowing the layout of the dungeons already just kinda made it a slog to play through again even though you are one shoting almost everything. When I thought about having to go through the third palace and afterwards again I felt very disinterested.
It doesn't help that unlike Persona 4 (and maybe Persona 3 I can't remember) there is a rather big lack of replayability since you don't have clubs this time around to give you different characters to experience certain S-links through. Persona 4 has two different S-links that are different based off of what club you join but nothing even remotely like that in Persona 5, and since I was literally 5 days away from maxing all of mine the first time around anyway sitting through all of them again kinda feels like a chore (yeah I can skip through them but still meh).
It also doesn't help that the different events like the festivals and trips just aren't very interesting or very enjoyable. I like the cast of this game a lot but it certainly feels like they have a certain lack of development of being friends outside of being the Phantom Thieves.
So instead I thought I'd go back and replay Persona 4 again and man I'm surprised how well it still plays. Despite the numerous gameplay improvements P5 made theres a few things that I think they went to far with like fast travel, its perfect in Persona 4, taking you between locations but still making you walk around a little bit to see the world, where as in P5 you just literally teleport to everywhere you want to go and never really need to walk around and its easy to miss talking to different NPC's or over hearing other peoples conversations about things when I can just literally teleport after school from where I'm standing directly to whatever Confidant I want to work on or whatever place I want to go to to raise a stat. There are certainly tons of more locations and things to do in P5 but many of them clearly don't yield nearly as much of a reward as others so if you are trying to get all your stats maxed out ASAP you generally don't do things like going to the batting cages (outside of maybe getting the trophy) because its not worth your time when you could be doing other things.
It's also so easy to get attached to the characters in P4 right away because you spend a lot of time with them right from the get go. You get to see Yosuke acting like an idiot, Chie kicking him in the balls when he breaks her movie, Yosuke having a crush on Saki only to find out shortly later she really couldn't stand him, ect. I know the first 3-6 hours of Persona 4 can be a bit overwhelming and have a huge lack of player input but man it does a great job really making you like these characters early on.
Persona 5 is just in general lacking a feel of real friendship and comradely from the team. They all feel like business partners rather then a group that is truly friends, I really think Persona 5 really needed more outside of PT events or at least have the events that happen changed up somewhat. Going through them...
Spoilers for the various events throughout the game and endgame spoilers!!
Compare these to the various events in Persona 4 like the camping trip, Mystery food X, the school trip, the school festival, ect. It's just disappointing as some of those are the best events (and at times funniest) events of the entire P4 game and P5's in general just feel either wasted on developing the plot or just lacking in general.

The TV Station trip is only used to introduce Akechi.
The Fireworks festival is rained out and ruined.
The Beach trip is surprisingly short and uneventful.
The Hawaii trip is awful because of Ryuji complaining constantly and Mishima fanboying out the entire time.
The School Festival is once again about Akechi and developing the plot rather then any of the characters.

I had it on my first try with that bait. Fished during a torrential rain btw.
