I'm loving the 7th Palace music.

It's subdued but secretly one of the best Palace tracks in the game.

 

[rec0ded1]

First time dying in palace and lost about an hour of gameplay. So pissed I just turned off the game...Knowing I'll turn in back on in 10 mins.

 

[Rhaknar]

If I have to give P4 something over 5 is the music. Even just a few hours in the music is already fantastic.

 

[Balphon]

After hours of fusing and hundreds of thousands of yen, I did it! I completed the Strength Confidant! From 4 to 10 in one sitting. Now I can fuse Personas higher than my level!


...once I have more than ¥2,000.

Awesome.

Sorry that Stone of Scone business tripped you up. The treasure personas seem to be different from normal fusion in that (a) they use current level rather than base level to calculate the result and (b) they act like they are of the same arcana as the other fusion ingredient even if they aren't.

The vicious cycle.

 

[Opa-Pa]

As a general Megaten fan, the last stretch of the game and its mini bosses are fucking amazing, wow. Never expected this from modern Persona.

I had to redo 30 min of stuff cuz I forgot to save in the damn save rooms. I dunno what I was thinking. Never forgot after that.

From now on I'm running back after every little change even if it's far as hell.

The sad thing was I was only a few steps away from the next save room before a normal enemy one-shotted Joker lol

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

The game really wants me to pick Makoto, or is it just me since she was my original choice? So many teasing moments in mandatory story scenes.

 

[JMY86]

I finished my playthrough of Persona 5 tonight completed save clocked in at 101 hours and choosing Tae as my romance target. I fell in love with this game pretty quickly and it now easily my GOTY. I grew up on PC RPG's & JRPG's but this has been first JRPG in years as I feel the quality of JRPG's has been pretty poor the last 10 years or so. This was also my first Persona game and I think I am hooked, I wish I had jumped in sooner but I think I am now a customer for life. I ordered a Vita and P4G which should be arriving on Friday and I can't waut to jump in...

Not just you. She definitely comes across as the 'canon' relationship IMO, with as many scenes as she has and the way she assumes the role of your right hand lady.

 

[Salaadin]

Do they lock you out of maxing out certain confidants for some reason? I've been rank 9 Kawakami for over a week. She shows up on the map but its greyed out. I call her, she's on break.

Cleared at 97:31 and was left with a "Well I guess that's that" kind of impression after it ended. Compared to "Fuck sleep I need to see what comes next" impression I had when I started. I'm not even sure why.

Also, some quick clean 1080 shots of the credit roll

I just got to the second safe room -- is this the last one, or do I still have more to go? Also, will I get a chance to do anything else after this? I want to know if I need to fuse the remaining personas in the compendium now.

This will not be your last opportunity to fuse, if that is your concern.

 

[Opa-Pa]

So I made it to the last save point before the final boss, but I've been taking my sweet time because this area is too much fun combat wise. There's good exp and money to be made, so I'm grinding a bit for the first time.

I'm mostly making money to get some kickass personas before the end, also to have a backup save in case I want to make some more and beat the game again and transfer better ones to NG+.

My time at the Velvet Room hasn't been in vain of course, I made a great Raphael and a Vishnu thanks to the strength condidant.

Good luck touching me suckers, lmao.

Thank God these segments are short. Worst mechanic in the game by far.

Cool to hear! P4G is amazing as well. One of my favorite games of all time.

I just reached the treasure in the 6th palace and I'm really struggling to find motivation to continue. The dungeons are such a slog and I don't even enjoy doing them anymore. I've maxed all but one social link and even the regular days are just exercises in finding ways to burn time now. This game just feels way too long for its own good, I want to finish it, but I don't want to spend 10s of more hours to see how it ends. I'm tired of the pacing. I'm tired of all the pointless ambient dialogue and text chats that say absolutely nothing of worth, but I'm forced to endure every calendar day.

So I just got to Level 5 with the Strength Confidant, maybe someone can clarify:

Are Caroline/Justine referring to Elizabeth or Margaret when they're talking ab out the unknown hand writing or will that just be revealed when I get further in?

I might need to do that. How far am I from the end in terms of hours?

A good way to get high-level fusions early on seems to be using Anubis and Network Fusion.

 

[Trigonometrize.]

Take a break from the game itself, but also for god's sake, take a break from the palace in-game if it starts to become a slog. Getting everything is not worth it if you're not enjoying the moment-to-moment in-between.

Still got a ways to go but i'll have to let you know that it gets REAL good. but def take a break. no need to feel burnt out by it. Persona is an epic game.

Still really far, I'm at least 10 hours past where you are and I'm nowhere near done

Also if you aren't enjoying something there is no value in continuing it even if you've put 1000s of hours into it. You can't get that time back it's a sunk cost if you need another 100 hours to finish but you'd be miserable doing so you're better off spending that 100 hours doing something you enjoy.

If you are struggling to finish a game after 90 hours/the sixth dungeon, that's on you. The story and characters obviously didn't grab you. Just move on. The next dungeons are twice as long as six. We can't all like the same games. Move on. Live happy.

I'm not miserable, I more just wanted to vent about it a bit. The reaction I'm getting here as if I said the game killed my pet is a bit strange though.

This is dismissive in a pretty useless way. "That's on you" is not a good response to any criticism. I don't even dislike the game.

Thinking of picking up a used PS3 after beating this. I never had one so never played the Arena games despite owning copies of both. Worth it? Would be good for PS2 classic versions of FES, 4, DDS and Nocturne as well - how do these run on PS3? I have PS2 copies but not keen on running those on my HDTV.
