Nothing as "canonical" as Yu who also has that as his name in the spin-off games. The current most "official" name for the P5 Protagonist is "Akira Kurusu" from the manga adaptation.

Dude I'll take anything, thanks. Just to 100% not mess it up.

Last name = Akira
First name = Kurusu

Correct or incorrect?

Scrooge McDuck said:
Naw, the other way around. "Akira" for given name and "Kurusu" for family name.

Awesome, thank you!

Just a few more days... I'm not even hyped anymore, just waiting to be able to play it... XD

I'm happy that the wait looks worth it.

Yes, between easy, normal, and hard. However if you choose 'safety', the most forgiving difficulty, at the beginning, it looks you in.

Just to make sure, you can't change it to safety later if you start on easy/normal/hard?

I was thinking of maybe starting on normal, and going down to safety if thing's get legit frustrating at some point.

You can switch down to Safety at any time, you just can't go back once you do.

You can't even buy the regular PS4 edition of Persona 5 on Amazon anymore. They're all out of stock I guess. PS3 version is still up for grabs though ;).

Edit - Oh, the Steelbook is available for pre-order again it seems. A little while ago it wasn't, honest! (talking about the UK site btw)

Mine has had an expected ship date of tomorrow for the past month so guess we'll see. There's an amazon warehouse here so I'm taking it with a grain of salt that they are shipping it 4 days early but who knows?

That'd definitely be nice. Just hoping it isn't Monday

I'm a little afraid of Amazon. I have hopes to get the game on Day 1, this Tuesday, or Monday the better, haha. But it happened to me with Xenoblade X, I preordered it and received it 2 days later after launch date. Hope they don't do the same mistake again.

I am extremely biased, but the English VO is on the upper end for sure. Max Mittelman and Erica Lindbeck are standouts, Cassandra Lee Morris is excellent as usual, and no one drags it down.

The dialogue and writing are maybe a 6 or 7 out of 10, but that's not on them, obviously.

I'm not surprised to hear that Max and Erica impress. They were also standouts in Aniplex USA's Your Lie in April dub where they play the leads.
It was still on Netflix last time I checked so if anyone won over their Persona 5 performances wants to see them really shine that's an easy recommendation.

Cassandra needs no introduction. Hina in Danganronpa and Totori from the Atelier games. She always delivers and her Morgana sounds adorable.

Do you get locked out of any trophies by choosing safety?
Job keeps me busy so I wanna minimise grinding.

None of the trophies are difficulty related, so no.
But there's really not much grinding in P5 at all anyway, so if that's what you're worried about, it's not much of a problem.

Safety difficulty is basically a cheat mode (you deal twice the damage, enemies only deal half, you get x5 times the XP for super easy overlevelling etc...) so it makes sense they punish you for picking it as it makes the game trivial.
Considering how much easier every Persona game has gotten since the release of the original PS2 version of Persona 4, you should be absolutely fine on normal. If the game becomes too easy then the dungeons turn into a chore.

As long as there is no trophy for overhearing 250 different dialog lines for scanning enemies, I'm happy.

Stunning reviews. Never played a game like this before. Thanks to the reviews and gameplay vids on youtube - will be getting this when it's cheaper.

Well this launch will go down as a monumental fuck up in South Africa. Pre-orders getting cancelled as it turns out only 20% of the expected stock arrived.
Deep Silver seriously fucked over a market that they don't deem important. Most people wanting to get the game physically will now have to wait for second batch of stock which is only coming late April.

There is but there's a lot more dialog lines in this one. It'll come naturally instead of having to specifically grind for it like in P4G.

Amazon UK has taken my money! Now to hope it shows up no earlier than Monday!
Click to expand...

Woo-hoo!

Has your order status been updated at all to Processing etc?

Edit: I ask because at like 6am this morning my friend texted me saying Amazon seemed to have Take Your Heart available. So i ordered and it hasn't been cancelled etc, hoping it wasn't purely a glitch

Best Buy has been very good about making sure you get the game before the release date(sometimes the weekend before!), but this time they've failed me. It was charged yesterday, and as of now it still hasn't been shipped yet. Killing me BB.

Amazon says I'll get it Tuesday ... they never ship me anything early. Fuck if I could just get the game today or tomorrow already. Next week is fucking packed with a wedding and two birthday parties ... I'd hate to steal my friends' hearts just so I can play P5 :(

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Well .. for all the "I'll probably get this on PS3" chants, I am such a 2 bit liar :-/

Pre order placed for the PS4 version last night, will be picking this up Monday the 3rd.

I'm with you. When it comes to release day delivery it never comes earlier. No status update on my order yet other than the fact it's not dispatched. Will start panicking if it's not dispatched by 2mw.
