    You're only at stage 2. Stage 3 is when you start singing along to it.

    Having finished the second main dungeon, I'm a good bit in now. While I am enjoying the experience overall, I can't muster the level of enthusiasm about it I would like to either.

    There are, no question, things it does exceedingly well. Obviously it's thrillingly stylish even by Persona standards. The dungeon designs are undeniably orders of magnitude more interesting than the previous games, and most of the quality of life improvements are very well judged. And when you get drawn into the day-by-day cycle of the game, there is still nothing at all like it.

    And yet there's a certain spark missing. For all the refinements to the core gameplay, it feels lacking in ambition and surprises where its predecessors revelled in them. As a veteran of Persona 4's notably drawn out opening hours, the 20 hours or so this game takes to truly let you off the leash are even more frustrating. Then there's the translation, which just does not allow the characters to soar the way they did in previous games - although sadly there is a certain element that the series archetypes are providing diminishing returns at this point. At its worst, the clunky translation actively interferes with the game's flow - in demon negotiation in particular. The lack of a compelling overall linking narrative is also a shame - there's nothing to match the small town mystery of P4.

    This is still an excellent game, the formula potent enough to justify 'more of the same' to a certain degree. And yet... it feels like there's something missing. There is so much effort put into this game, but what that stunning delivery is used to say doesn't always feel like the effort was justified. There's dozens of hours to go, and no question I'll happily see them through. But it feels like the (inevitable?) Persona 6 needs to be the more radical, ambitious change in direction P3 was.

    Deep Silver have done a poor job with publishing this, it was no.1 in the UK charts the week of release and not in the top 40 since which will tell you about the stock situation.

    PS4! Yeah I saw lots of people selling it for 100's now but tbh no way I would pay that much for a game, its out of stock here too :(

    I contacted Amazon and they gave a refund but said they can't track it because whoever they shipped it with provided no tracking info. TBH I was going to give them a bit more time, my sister has placed a ton of orders in the last few months and even though she paid for shipping it got stuck with An post for weeks (we know it was here already because we could track it).
    But considering this is from the UK I thought it was a bit of a stretch and played it safe :/

    Chances are you ended up with Asendia then as the carrier, it may still arrive but more than likely it has been lost, people should really avoid the service when it comes to games as it is a widespread issue with them and even Amazon support have admitted it, it actually comes from Switzerland with them not the UK.

    You can pick it up here if you do not mind waiting about 10-12 days or go with the DHL service and get it in about 2-3 days https://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?products_id=23966

    Same, I finished PW Spirit of Justice while I was waiting.
    I ordered mine from Amazon Fr. Shipped around the 10th I think, arrival date is the 27th "I doubt it'll take that long" I said to myself. Still waiting. I messaged to ask them why it was so long and got a fiver back. They said message again if it's not there by the due date.

    You're right it is with them, I actually didn't know this was an issue as I always buy my games from Amazon as do my friends and I never heard anything about it, but I see now that there are indeed about them. Considering how much money Amazon are losing with them its ridiculous nothing has been done about it. Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep it in mind next time! Unfortunately I cannot buy it at the price it is on that website :(

    Sorry to hear you're in the same situation :( I have been doing assignments like mad and was hoping for this as a 'reward' blegh heartbroken. I hope it still arrives as I've had so many orders get stuck in customs here lately :/ Hopefully it will arrive by the 27th for you!

    Fingers crossed, it's so expensive now and it was my 3rd time buying it.
    I go on and off playing games, after Ace Attorney I'm mad to play more stuff.
    I actually got a charm from Japan on the 28th last month but it only came Friday, normally I only had things take that long that are in bigger boxes with loads of pieces.
    I wonder if something is up, order a lot online but everything seems slow lately.

    At this stage I'll light a candle for the two of us ffs :(
    Thats what I thought initially, I didn't imagine it was Amazon as my family got me games for Christmas from there and I got Uncharted 4 in February and they both arrived pretty quickly. My sis ordered something from Japan in February and it only arrived last week even though it came through Registered post:eek:

    At this point and the length you have been waiting with Asendia to deliver it has probably gone missing just going on personal experience and plenty of other users here, although had two games turn up from them 7 weeks later that Amazon had refunded.

    Bummer.
    So hopefully I get refunded, anywhere to check for it? Always look on PriceSpy but nothing, just showing only a pre order.
    Really don't fancy going digital but it's not looking good.

    Amazon.com has the steelbook edition for 74 or 75(with shipping included) since i got my refund i was thinking of maybe buying it but Im afraid of customs. Anyone know how much they would charge?

    €40 on www.videogamesplus.ca inc shipping for a US PS3 copy. Their shipping is pretty fast and usually gets past customs without charge.

    Amazon.com orders have you prepay customs avoiding An Posts additional handling charge. If it gets through customs without charge the fee will be refunded.

    Amazon.com usually use DHL for international shipping iirc, haven't ordered anything there in months. Last thing I ordered was the Fist of the North Star complete dvd collection (21 discs) for $25 back in July.

    Rightstuf in the US use Ascendia for European shipping and never had a problem with them, although they do provide tracking unlike Amazon for which I've also had issues.

    Yeah DHL would make more sense as the shipping costs $21.

    Right! I'll probably do it just need to decide between steelbook edition on Amazon or Normal edition on videogames.ca or wait a little longer :pac:

    Really? I never had fast postage from CA but they do usually have great prices.
    If Amazon.com pay up front for custom fees / import whatever it is, that sounds great.

    VGP offer DHL and UPS options as well for shipping, so you could get it in 2-3 days.

    So which seller would you guys recommend? Amazon or the canadian one?

    I have never had any custom issues with VGP, they say on the package it is just a small toy, they have free worldwide shipping at the minute so for the PS4 version it would cost €54 and you would have it in 10-12 days, or you could use the DHL service and have it in 2-3 days but it would be €76.

    As somebody who has never played a JRPG before (well besides one FF game), I am really enjoying this. I knew I would enjoy the real-world interactions, exploration etc but I am surprisingly enjoying the combat as well (I could never take to FF combat), and managing your HP/SP is tough but a good bit of fun also. Still lots of areas where I'm not 100% on such as fusions (only done the first one, still doing the first palace), but I'm getting the hang of it.

    I do find the restrictions on what you can do in the real world a bit annoying. For example, I left the first palace to regenerate HP/SP, but before going to sleep wanted to make a coffee to use for the next visit, but it wouldn't let me cause I was too tired :/ Or I can only make 2 lockpicks but then need to sleep (or even the fact you can't enter your room without progressing to evening time). I get the design behind it, but still slightly frustrating.

I get the design behind it, but still slightly frustrating.

    I've been saying it for years but FF games have very poor combat systems compared to the very best jrpgs and this puts people off the genre. Persona games and it's parent franchise shin Megami Tensei are right near the top and put that series to shame.

    As for your other problem. In a wold were everyone wants to get all the achievements and do all the side quests you just need to relax. Accept the fact that you can't do everything in a playthrough and do the best you can. It's a far more enjoyable game once you accept that and it's hiw I play western rpgs as well. Just accept your mistakes and accept the fact that your are the one in control of the story and not the designer.

    In terms if fusions. Always fuse to get higher level demons. It's not pokemon. Demon's cap out and you are better off with high level demons than sticking with low level ones and getting murdered because it takes forever to level up.

    While I very much believe not being able to do everything is a fundamental part of these games' identity and appeal, I do find it maddening how often Morgana says 'let's not do that tonight'. Sure, finite time is one of the key elements of the Persona alchemy, but I think the more explicitly artificial restrictions - often with no good reason - are a bit irritating in this one. Minor thing (and may ease off in the late game), but a noteworthy one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 710 ✭✭✭MrMorooka


    Later on you can get an ability that lets you do activities in the evening even if you've been in the Metaverse that day.

    As for the whole 'Morgana sending you to bed' thing- it only really happens during story sequences. Basically the game is structured into linear story sequences between the palaces, and then you have a few weeks of doing whatever you want, then another story sequence after the deadline date. So if you think of those weeks inbetween palaces as extended story cutscenes where you are just watching events unfold until gameplay opens up again, it makes more sense. It's just more obvious here because the game gives you control in your room in Leblanc pretty much every single night of the game, even if you can't do anything- it would be a bit less jarring if they just skipped to the next day through cutscenes and maybe gave you a save prompt instead.

    As for my own little review of the game- it's excellent, of course, and has great gameplay, polish and aesthetics. But personally I prefer the cast in Persona 4- there was a real sense of strong and lifelong friendship being created, that I felt from the Investigation Team. With the Phantom Thieves, because everything is so serious and the plot is a lot more 'event-heavy', the team doesn't really get developed as much. Kind of exemplified by how they don't share an Arcana as a whole, like how the Fool Arcana worked in previous games. Thematically the Phantom Thieves make perfect sense of course, and it works perfectly in the game, it's just I personally prefer the more 'friendship-oriented' feeling P4 had.

    A few other nitpicks:
    • why is there no non-straight romance? I didn't like any of the girls(I ended up romancing Ohya because she would at least be a bit of a fun fling), but I would have loved to romance Yusuke, despite not being gay myself.
    • 'Queen' gets a disproportionate amount of screen time, lines, and development compared to everyone else. It's annoying.
    • 4th Palace onwards spoilers :
      I don't like how the group treats Futuba as a project to fix, can't put my finger on it, but the way they take turns spending time with her to force her to be 'useful' for them is kind of creepy. In general I don't like Futuba anyway, she is stupidly OP plotwise, and as a depiction of social anxiety or awkwardness she is ridiculously unrealistic.
    • 5th Palace spoilers :
      Morgana's little mini arc of leaving the party is just dumb.
    • the plot is a bit 'black-and-white', there is no real nuance- the villains are just irreedemably evil people
    • the 'rebellion against society and adults' thing doesn't really connect with me personally, I think it's a bit cringey, but I understand it
    • in general the game might actually be a bit too long for its own good, frankly. I feel like there's at least one Palace you could drop without much hassle, and in terms of the pacing of the story, it's a bit stretched. I beat the game at just under 70 hours, but I read very quickly, skip through voiced scenes as soon as I've read the subtitles, and use guides for puzzles or dialogue choices- I can totally understand how some people are getting to ~100 hour first playthrough. That's a hell of a lot of time to invest in a game
    • there's the general Persona problem where while the games are about making friends, managing your time, and generally living life to the fullest, if you're playing a JRPG for 100 hours you are not doing any of those things, which is a bit disconcerting.

    So yeah, it is still a 10/10 game, and for some people it could easily be their favourite game of all time, just personally the story and characters don't hit me on the wavelengths that I personally like.

    I like how much more useful status effects feel in this game even compared to P3 and P4. Technical attack bonus are handy for enemies with no or difficult to achieve weaknesses.

    You must be doing a huge amount of grinding if that's the case? Frankly I'm surprised that's even possible. I'm on the fourth palace and have only put in around a third of the time you have, and feel there's a lot of restrictions on the likes of Mementos that would make it hard to actually spend much more time to get to the point I'm at... I'm not rushing, nor am I trying to collect every single Persona along the way, but yeah that seems like a whole lot of time for the amount of game you've played!

    I think it is more due to the fact I have been getting distracted and leaving the game running, it is just not holding my attention as much as previous entries have, not that I am not enjoying it, but it is draining at times.

    My MC is only level 30, and I am about half way through the 4th palace, thankfully I have not needed to do any grinding yet, I have probably been investing too much time with social links as I have around 13-14 unlocked already and improving my skills to get certain ones to unlock.

    I'm about 44 hours in and at the fourth palace. I tend to let the days count down closer to the deadline to allow me to improve my social links, unlocks skills and do mementos requests. I haven't started the 4th palace yet, but there are 9 days left so it's the next thing for me to do now.

    I'm enjoying the game a lot, I find there is no grinding to it and your characters seem to level yup at a nice pace (my main character is 30). I do tend to ignore some aspects, like trying to get the Persona requested by the twins (dunno where to look for them) and using the blank cards, but it doesn't seem to be hindering my progress. I can't see me playing this a second time though considering how long it takes!

    All of the Personas required for the twin are obtained through fusion. You will need to either inherit or use a gallows execution to obtain the required skill.
