There was this one cool piece of fanart depicting the P5 cast on one side vs. the P2 cast on the other which looked really cool. Seems to have disappeared off the face of the Earth, unfortunately.

Insoired by the new thread, Anyone play entirely on safety, how long did it take you to beat?
Interact with the tv twice. Same way you watch dvds.

You're on the right track, but you will be tested once more.

I'm getting close to the end game here. That sinking feeling that my adventures in this game are rearing an end and there won't be a story past the credits hurts.

I don't want this game to end, man.
post-Persona depression is very real

Nope, always double save
Fuck.

I'm still in palace 1, and just fought Archangel. I'm running out meds and SP. Does the story normally set points where it suggests I should "call it a day" and go back to the real world for recovery, or should gauge that myself using, well, lack of​ recovery items and SP?
I'm not even seeing a safe room in the next area, and I'm wondering if I should backtrack. Normal enemies take way more time without my specials.

This is why I did NG+ and basically rebeat it all for the Platinum.
Now I am an empty husk.

you have to gauge it yourself.
RIP he's gonna kill you
Just backtrack SP items are very low supply so basically don't do anything that's going to cause you to have to use them.
That said, if you're just low and not out on SP, you might want to keep pushing til you run out.
Maxed Guts by reading a Lovecraft novel and then a Luck Reading + horror film. Feels good. Just in time for the Iwai check too.
The tail end of the Sojiro and Iwai stories got really good. Maxed NPC Nishima so I don't have to talk to that loser ever again. Fuck yeah! Progressing well with Hifumi, Yusuke, Futaba, and Haru. At this rate I might have to sacrifice Ryuji's Confidant story for good. RIP. Pretty happy with how everything else is going. Haru's gardening is super useful. So's Sojiro's curry.
Bought the Catherine DLC pack and Messiah. Got everyone dressed up. Gonna go all in on Palace 6 tomorrow. <3
Almost 80 hours clocked. ~_~

I just jumped headfirst into Persona 4. 8 hours in and it hasnt grabbed me as much as Persona 5. The tunes aren't as good and the convo's are stilted af!
Putting Haru's confidant story over Ryuji you must be joking Duckroll. Haru has like 0 personality.
Palace 7 spoilersit's called Loki? so it's probably why my body Loki isn't in the game

I was really disappointed by this, his new design is so cool too. 😞

Rip other anime.
to be fair https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux9MoJHhczc sets a much better mood than https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H5pYCw4ET4 .
though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h73LvR8V2LA is a lot better competition with persona 5's opening.
I am just not a fan of golden's opening just so meh
persona 3 fes' opening was pretty solid song wise as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Icol0dtcxnU
meanwhile persona 3 portable's opening wasn't that impressive, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd1xnZJZZHQ , sounds like a generic anime opening.
The original P4 opening is so much better than P4G's that it's almost insulting. I don't hate P4G's, but the original sets the mood way better.
This. I booted up P4 on PS2 and was surprised at how much more I like that opening compared to P4G's.
What's the big difference between the two other than Marie at the start?
Edit: Oh do you mean the opening video? Both are good, but I like the P3FES ones better. Kinda wish P5 had another one.
Persona 4's opening was the best. After PV01, I was kinda surprised at how the full Persona 5 opening kind of falls flat. It's like certain parts of it were rushed or something.

Honestly, I feel like Golden's opening does a fine job of preparing the player for the general mood of the show, while the original opening does the same - they just tackle different parts of the game. (One focuses on the mystery, the other focuses on the social activities with your friends.) It doesn't help though that Golden's opening had to highlight all of the additions to the game rather than be its own thing, it's something that P3P's opening did much better, IMO.
Speaking of P3P's opening, while nothing can really live up to Burn My Dread, I really really enjoyed its opening animation, and the song isn't terrible.
We're discussing the opening cinematics, not the actual beginnings of the game.
P4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h73LvR8V2LA
P4G: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H5pYCw4ET4
Yeah, it's especially strange how Makoto, Haru, and Futaba are only in it for a single shot. I feel like it's less that it's rushed, and more that it may have been done fairly early in development before the full cast and story were really nailed down.
^Yeah, I just got that. P5 needs another opening.
Agreed. As much as I love the game, there is room for improvement. I just hope the things added are the things that need fixed.

P5 needs a multitude of fixes, IMO.
The feeling of getting a bunch of confidants to rank 10 is really, really great. I'm near the end and I've been abusing the crap out of the fortune teller's affinity reading, so I've just been clearing everyone off my list.
I honestly think that I could have maxed everyone had I abused the fortune teller earlier and negotiated for money more often for battle. I personally feel that this game is way more lenient than previous games, it's just that it puts everyone behind really weird progression gates at weird times.

Slight overall story/character spoilers
Just watching the intro cinematic and knowing nothing about the game, I was totally thrown off by their role in the story. The intro suggests the three are working together to investigate the Phantom Thieves/Morgana (Haru doesn't seem to care, but is is still involved with them), so that not actually happening surprised me. Joker, Ryuji, Ann, and Yusuke are portrayed pretty accurately, so I'm not sure what the disconnect is with the others.

I mean guys, say what you will about the 7th palace, but its recurrence of Keeper of Lust alone makes it the best palace in the game by default.
The YouTube comments go on about it having a very Digital Devil Saga-esque feel, which has honestly been my main priority of all SMT games I own so far which I haven't finished, in part due to its soundtrack. I think this may have sold me, once P5 is done with.

Nope, neither one of them do.

Psycho Blast animation is so damn good.
Nope. For some reason I thought it did, so I avoided it. Once I realized I could boost the affinity of one link every day for a mere 5000 yen, I realized how much I was missing out on.
Her ability is amazing on NG+ too since all of her abilities unlock at rank 1 if you maxed her the previous run. Makes ranking up Devil real easy.
Yeah the majority of DDS's soundtrack is like that, it's really, really good. I mean the game itself is excellent too so it's a no brainer.
And honestly Palace 7 has some of the best tracks in the entire game, lots of mini bosses and the best boss in the entire series, so I could take like ten more rat mazes for more content like that lol, I don't care.
P4G is really for people who already played P4, and have seen that opening a bunch of times.
That's the thing, time is so limited that if you aren't sure if a task will pass time that youre less likely to try it.
I hope there is a 100% efficiency guide available for my next playthrough in the future.
I think the thing about P5 is that everything seems way more stressful and overwhelming at the start because so many abilities are locked up into Confidant Abilities. The game ends up being way more lenient than any other persona game, but it doesn't seem that way when you can't invest money into bonds through the fortune teller or stay out after dungeons with the maid.
Even EXP and Money seem hard to get at first, but again, the abilities to blow that out of the water are locked behind Moon, Star, and Sun.
This doesn't make up for the fact that (second awakening spoiler):

Yeah. I noticed that as well.
