Persona 5 R has been confirmed for PS4, speculated to be an enhanced version similar to P3 FES and P4 Golden. I am still playing NG+ and I am 100% willing to buy that. They got me.
Could that mean a new palace? Post game extension? More personas (where is my brain with an eye!?)? Shiho social link? Phantom thief Hifumi? Rank 11 and tier 3 personas for the Phantom Thieves? If I can change Hecate back into Carmen that would be great. |
I'll probably get it
I just beat Persona 4 & doing the "true ending" now.. it's a great game but holy shit there are some really annoying things about it that they thankfully fixed in 5 |
Did you play P4 vanilla or Golden?
I'm up to palace 6 in NG+ and I only have a handful of confidants left to max, Sojiro plus a few I ignored last time through. Hopefully in P5R they can fix Ohya so she's not completely useless, and if they could erase Shinya from existence that would be cool. |
Vanilla.. I don't really like to play remakes
I do have Persona 3 "FES" though so I guess I'm gonna play that.. did they change a lot |
Persona 3 can be pretty jarring, the biggest two things are that you only control the MC in battle (yes that is as bad as it sounds) the story progression is stilted and takes forever to actually get going. Oh, and the entire combat side of the game is basically Mementos, storyline missions are mostly just a boss, so it's really grindy. It's still a Persona game at it's core though and some of the social links are really good, story really picks up late game. Then there's Junpei…
P4 Golden brought the fusion system up to speed with P5, so you choose which skills you want to inherit etc. and also added a bunch of other quality of life stuff. Adachi S-Link. New character with S-Link and a bonus dungeon. Extra six weeks playable of the in-game calender. You can also go outside at night to hang out with daytime Social Links (boosts affinity so you don't have to waste days with them). Extra events and voice acting for some of the text only scenes too. |
Adachi S-Link.. da hell.. wouldn't that.. wtf
I don't like all those changes.. although dumbass Rise wouldn't hang out with me for the last 3 weeks of the game so i never got to max her out so more time would have been cool Did they make similar changes to Persona 3 FES vs regular Persona 3 |
Honestly I started a new game plus in 5 and I can't be fucked with all the cutscenes. I watched the first set of them because I didn't remember a lot of the game from Kamoshida and before, but after that, nope. Can't stomach watching them eat at a hotel buffet for 15 minutes. And if they made a remake I'd feel bad skipping through any of it
|
FES is basically vanilla but it has an optional "epilogue", which is standalone from the main game and is pretty much a 100 floor grindfest.
The actual "enhanced" version of P3 is P3Portable on the PSP, which I believe gives you full control over your party but takes away the free roam and instead just gives you a list of locations to click on. Also I think some of the non vital story events were removed. |

Made it back to 11/19. Already feeling tense.

Currently fighting the secret boss, LV99, 2 million Yen in the bank.
My first attempt I made it to 20 turns then got boomed by the all-out attack. Think I need to put some health regen abilities on my Yoshitsune then I'm not wasting precious turns healing. I have the accessory from the Reaper so I'm pretty hard to kill, but my DPS isn't enough I guess. Ohya is the worst character in the game, found out she has the same VA as Yukiko too which makes it even worse. I miss Yukiko :( Haru's Persona upgrade is wild, maybe my favourite design of all the thieves. Carmen still a top contender though. All the initial ones are pretty great, though both of Futuba's are kinda lame. |
Took me 6 attempts to beat the secret boss on Merciless, a lot of it comes down to luck but here was my strat
SPOILER: show |
December is pretty much post-Brexit Britain.

QUESTION:
Does Destor really exist? |
I do.
I hope P5R is better than P4G. The social links in p4g spoil (by way of poor foreshadowing) far too much of the main plot. P4G actively makes the game worse. I hope what's added in P5R is blind run friendly. |
I played Golden knowing only who the Killer was and the OG ace detective's secret, but the twist in the middle and at the end were still a big surprise to me. Can't really remember much foreshadowing, I thought [redacted]'s link was weird and innocuous until the plot caught up with it and I thought for sure Marie was going to be the first victim before her link started.
I think the most glaring difference in playing the remaster is that your Chie and my Chie are a completely different person. As long as they don't recast Futaba (or anyone actually but I know she's your fave) and steer clear of Ashly Burch I'm in. |
I think everything with Marie just drags. She's shoehorned into everything and its a bit jarring. recently watched a twitch streamer play p4g and i was not inspired to go pick it up. Feels like someone stringing the neck of the IP to wring out enough content to justify a purchase.
That said...if they recast Futaba-chan :'( |
You can pretty much ignore her after her first rank, but yeah that means you don't get to do the bonus dungeon. I didn't feel like she was too intrusive, her link is actually quite similar to Elizabeth from P3 so that was more of the vibe I got from her. I didn't pick up on the hints of her true identity because I never clocked the significance of Yu's persona, but I guess that could be a huge foreshadow, once you know you know yeah.
|
Im not sure P5 has room for a character of similar significance so its possible its moot anyhow. I just hope its smaller scale and they add more slice of life moments of the group like the ski trip in p4g.
|
P4/p4g really did slice of life very well as a whole
|
Yeah they made the Investigation Team seem like genuine friends outside of all the weird shit they got up to inside the TV. I'd go in for more PT bonding events.
|
I got this the other day, based on the hype/good reviews. Any tips for a noob?
|
This will make more sense as you go but my advice:
Try to clear dungeons in a single day if possible. Stamina (mana) is essential to doing this. To that end Death (Doctor) is essential to get leveled as early as possible so you can get sp regen items and gear. Other than that just make the most of each day. |
You will find some locked chests inside the Palaces and you might be tempted to put off clearing them until you have crafted enough Lockpicks so you don't miss anything.... the contents of these chests are not unique and are NOT worth wasting a day over.
You will want to level all your personality stats to max eventually, but if you prioritise Guts Rank 3 it could actually help you to save time later. That said, don't stress to do everything on your first playthrough, hang out with whoever you want and enjoy the ride. |
Been playing 3 and 4. Just really making me appreciate persona 5 for all it is. Mementos itself is the entire dungeon crawling section of both of those games. Crazy
|
After long consideration i think 4 is better than 5. 5 has better dungeons and quality of life. And the perks are great too. Oh and music as a whole (4s battle theme is the best song in all of persona though.) But 4 has a better story and better characters and it its by so much that i like 4 better.
|
I flip flop over which one I like best on a daily basis.
|
Coming home to "welcome back big bro" is just so iconic to me. The game feels like family.
|
I often play the P4 soundtrack as background noise when I'm working on things. I think of it as raising my personality stats.
|
I put on the 10 version of the Leblanc cafe theme
|
Always bothered me how they didnt pronounce the "c" in Leblanc...........
They also altered the pronunciation of some surnames, like they they put the stress on the second syllable of Sakamoto instead of the third where it naturally is in japanese Not big deals, just interesting That said, there is some guy who I guess is mad that he got rejected to be a translator for p5 so wrote a huge thing and put a website together about how there are like 5 lines in the game that are translated awkwardly... www.personaproblems.com... sad imo |
...well...at least he's passionate :|
|
I did find some of the pronunciation of names weird but not as jarring as hearing "Choke a bow". I think it's primarily down to the voice directors, IIRC the VA for Ann outright said they were all instructed to say the names the wrong way.
That website is a real oofer. |

What. |
what are the "scramble" games... "shibuya scramble"... looks like arkham city kind of combat...
|
Not sure, I don't think they've made one before. Wikipedia tells me Shibuya Scramble is a completely unrelated live action visual novel. This seems to be Persona crossed with Dynasty Warriors, apparently has a mix of gameplay from both series.
|
Its dynasty warriors, yeah. But the story is a legit continuation
|
Well now I'm in on the ground level.
|
Im waiting to hear some first hand reports
