Mementos is very shot and basically a dump for demons/sub-quests. It's not the Tartarus, come on.

Is it just me or are the dungeons significantly more challenging this time. I feel like in Persona 4 I could do 2 - 3 floors of a dungeon in one go. This time I'm lucky if I get done with one.

BTW are Japanese voices part of BD, or do everyone must download them from PSN?

I don't like the second dungeon and boss, it's too fucking corny and gay, especially his "assistant".

Why am I constantly being paused and recited a cutscene? I don't remember Persona 3 and 4 holding your hand that much, this late in the game.

Persona 5 has a lot more railroading than previous entries and that's how it's going to be throughout the whole game.

I bought the physical disk and I had to download them from the psn store, they are there as a free dlc.
Atlus makes finally enjoyable game and they fucks again. Would it kill them to include JAP voices on disc?

a 2 gb dl isn't that big a deal, man.

Well, it's not really incline if the game holds your hand constantly instead of letting you crash and burn.

I also despise all the party members, who are all annoying and don't have anything to say, especially that horrible little cat mascot. Atlus has upped this factor to the nth degree, no doubt directly to create more memes on the Internet and thus more free marketing.

The only NPC I really like is Sojiro, who hosts you, and who is obviously a very jaded and cynical adult, who appears to treat you with contempt, but ultimately cares about you.

while I would agree that its annoying, I wouldnt count the second dungeon as "late in the game" regardless of the hours you have spent until then. But I agree it makes no sense to give you timeslots and a schedule to fill when you are often unable to acrtually do something because the story demands otherwise, if thats what the story demands just scrap the sim part.


On the other hand I am glad they didnt go the P3 way where nothing ever happens until a gazillion hours into the game and even then you always have to wait until the next full moon to get a bit of overall story.

I actually like Morgana. Decent character, has relevance to the plot beyond being the butt end of every joke and has a good moveset.

The plot being more heavy handed is indeed a bit of a shame, but there are ways around it. Leveling your confindant with your teacher unlocks useful stuff, like being able to pay her to do your laundry or brew coffee for you, make thieves tools or read books during classes and give you massages after you come from a Palace / Mementos so you can do evening activities even after being in the metaverse.

Also many Confidants boost your social stats as well so leveling them up will be killing two birds with one stone.

I haven't even had the time to play enough to get into the first dungeon and I already knew teacher would be best waifu. Great tip to have for playing.

I haven't felt particularly boxed in by the story or time moving forward honestly, but I have pushed extremely close to the deadline on the first two dungeons, so maybe that's a bad thing. I've liked the pressure I've felt on those last few days though, as if everything is truly at stake and everything is just a moment away from falling apart.

I've been able to evenly develop my relationships, social stats, dungeon crawling stats, and personas without any problem. I do agree that the story tends to interject itself a little too frequently in the first 10 hours or so, but it seems to have evened out quite nicely through the second dungeon, and I've even had some nice free time to do whatever I want after the end of the second dungeon.

Also, been playing on hard and it's been a nice challenge, but nothing insane so far. I've had probably about 5-6 game overs total so far. Anyways, really loving this game! Hands down best Persona game of P3-P5 in my opinion.

It doesn't matter, if you would do the whole dungeon in 1 day you still have to wait untill the deadline.... so as the loadin screen says........ Take Your Time

For me it's the best RPG since Baldur's Gate 2
