I'm not putting the JP version down, I just doubt that I would personally enjoy JP Futaba as much as the NA version. That's not a knock on the original VA at all. Plus, Erica Lindbeck is straight up one of my favorite VA's ever and I prefer the voice direction for her Futaba.

Her english voice is great, I don't think it suits the character though. It sounds way too mature. The Japanese voice sounds younger and is very distinct among the other cast. The english voice might have been a better fit for Makoto.

I feel the exact opposite, for my NG+ run I'm planning on using the English VAs but the original cast is so good. Futabas original VA does such a good job having a quirky, yet younger-higher pitched voice.
Currently at 11/10 and just maxed Proficiency to advance the Empress confidant. I've only maxed Strength and Death so far, 1 away from Priestess. All my teammates are around 7-8 but I feel like I'm not going to have enough time to Max them out at least, feelsbadman...
lol
This definitely makes me think I wouldn't have appreciated Futaba as much if I were playing with the Japanese VO compared to the English one. Her sounding mature in that way suits her far more than the high pitched, "cutesy" kinda voice, considering her background and intelligence. It's the latter that I feared when it came to her character, and I'm glad they took a different direction with it.
Rise was brought up as a comparison point, and that sounds apt. Japanese Rise would irk me.
I do wish there was more banter like this outside of Mementos. Like when they're hanging out in safe rooms or in the real world. It adds a lot.

What.
Seriously. The banter in safe rooms would've been pretty awesome.

I always see posts like this on GAF (not just about Persona 5) and it always baffles me.
Some guy posted in the Nier Automata thread as well that they were 75 hours into Nier and just got to Ending C - like huh?
Like, more power to you and all that - enjoy the game however you'd like - but I don't know what someone could be doing for 80 hours to only be up to that point.

I finished at 150 hours. Different strokes.

You know, taking their time.
I think I was at 50-60 hours at palace 3 myself, taking my time to read all the chatter and going around the city seeing if anything changes as the game moves on.

You are a bad bad person and you should feel worse.
Also not enough swords as phallic metaphors.

I think you make a good point about Futaba's voice lining up well with her intelligence, but I also agree with Ferrio that she sounds a little too old given both her age and role in the group. Aoi Yuuki's divine voice combined with the appropriately intelligent-for-her-age subttitles is the best of both worlds for me.
I don't know what my pace was like for Persona, but I can sympathize with that Automata player. I explored every nook and cranny of every area, and tried to do every sidequest the moment it became available, which meant a lot of backtracking.
(minor sidequest spoiler - duckroll avert thy eyes)
The final fight against Father Servo took like thirty minutes, and a single hit meant death and redoing the fight.
Been watching Persona 5 memes finally. The Simpsons one is still the best one but damn did I laugh at this one.

Sorry to one-up you, but I actually got a full-party level-up with three MC personas. It was a pretty good feeling.
Damn! That must have been nice!
Also, dunno if this has been posted before, but I loved these
Persona 5: Persona 3 FES Opening Tribute
Persona 5: Persona 4 Opening Tribute
Pretty much the OPs from P3 and P4 remade with P5 scenes and animation.
Haha been watching them lately too, my favorite is this one.

LATE GAME SPOILER 12/24
About how many hours do I have remaining if I am at the final dungeon after fake Igor is gone and real Igor is back. Is it just beating the Holy Grail?

I wish the game would let me do stuff. I beat the first palace and I'm in May and everyday for me has been decided by my teammates when I wanna get my stats up so I can start other social links

Stuff starts to open up around mid May, but you'll always lose about a week to start / wrap up plots.
Last palace, I think, the
I actually collected almost all the items to get access to the treasure, I stopped playing before acquiring the fourth one, this is the hardest palace to do all in one run, there are a lot of encounters with powerful enemies...
At last I will not manage to get to 10 all the confidants, but I'm ok with that, at least I maxed most of them.
Do the max confidant remains so in NG+ or I need to start over everyone? (I think I need to start over...)
75h IN, I need to do a couple of Memento floor too but I will do as soon I end the palace.
Lv 60 here, but I find it hard to level up quickly right now with monsters out there.

Thanks. I wanted to know if I had enough time to finish it in a gaming session. I won't have enough time till this weekend. Sigh*
I forgot how slow the introduction is to everything. On my first playthrough I loved it but doing NG+ where I'm skipping everything, spamming triangle and X to move quicker through all the text and it's still hours before the game part begins.
Don't think I have the patience to over come the early parts on a second playthrough...I don't think I want to sully my opinion of the game after I loved my first playthrough so much.

I thought Persona 4 was worse in that aspect.
I'm currently here, just plowing through it for the platinum. It really is a slog.

I've been skipping everything that isn't related to social links on my second run, some scenes are still taking 5 minutes to fast-forward through.
The one scene I didn't skip was the first time they enter Kamoshida's palace. Knowing how the Metaverse app works it's fun picking up where they hit all the key words during the course of a normal conversation.

Alright time to go outside again!
I linked the P4 one when it came out but hadn't seen the P3 one. They're so great!
Oh I'll have to try and post mine later. I think I got about 6 of the MC's personas to level up since a ton of them had growth ability. It really is fun to see a whole party level up together.

Wow, Futaba is really helpful with giving me a heat riser and a charge/concentrate.
But you know what would be really helpful Futaba? If you gave me those buffs when I'm fighting The Reaper or

So I think I am nearing the end of the game. Can anyone tell me without spoilers if there are any end game secret dungeons/bosses/gear/persona's or anything I should be watching for. I'm almost into December and I just finished all the crazy stuff that happened after
