Ok so each persona will have a fix skill that they use in a combo, ok I can work with that.
so for stronger enemies, you'll get "one more action" instead of "All out attacks" if you hit their weakness right?
You can do all out attacks on stronger enemies as well, only when you drain their down gauge completely (the yellow shields beneath their HP). It's a separate cinematic. But yes. You can also do "one more" on them as well.
All 4 of your members can hold onto their showtimes, as well. It's the blue meter that fills up by their character portrait.
When you use weaknesses/technicals/critical you will damage their shield icons. Deplete one and you get a One More. Deplete all of them and you get an All Out Attack.
That's a tough decision. I feel like you can't go wrong with either one. Yakuza 7 was excellent and Strikers has been really fun so far.
Thanks guys. Just one more question if you don't mind- there's no limitation to the baton pass right? You can freely switch between characters no problem?
Right, I'll just toss a coin. Ys 9, Yakuza 7, Persona 5S. Who got time for all that? 🥴
well Strikers is like 40 hours so I think it's the shortest?
Feels so good to be back with the gang. It's awesome that P5 got a full on sequel instead of some fighting spin-off or whatever.
PC port seems very good so far.

Having to leave the dungeon then go back in everytime I want to replenish HP / SP is so fucking annoying.
Why not just make save points restore HP and SP? It's so dumb because the game even tells you "Oh hey btw, if you leave the dungeon you'll get your HP and SP back, so do it if you need to. :)" Yeah okay, just let me regen at the save point then?
It's literally just a waste of time, thank god i'm on PC with an SSD so it just takes a couple of seconds, but boy do I feel for Switch players.

What can you unlock with a previous/Smash Bros save? Really enjoying it thus far, by far the best faux-musou from KT yet

P4A was actually a good story that was just ridiculously long and repetitive, and it was a strong set up for a sequel and uniting all the Persona titles.
then the sequel did next to nothing with it and they haven't touched it since sigh. Like honestly Strikers would've been a good return for the Shadow Operatives but no
Also Ultimax is worthy on gameplay alone
After the first jail you unlock Jokers Kitchen that you can use to make a bunch of SP items
Yeah I don't get it either. It feels like the game wasn't finished in this regard, like they wanted to implement a calender function like in previous games where the calender moves forward when you leave the dungeon, but they just couldn't finish that feature and never came back to fix this.
I'm on Switch and the loads are not as bad as some videos make it to be. Seems like they did some optimisation before release.
I think the reason is to allow people to play it "properly" without HP/SP scumming. Allowing for both still.
Load times actually feel way faster than the comparison videos made them out to be before release. I'm honestly majorly confused on whether that's just on our perception or the loading actually being faster than we did fear/were led to believe.
But... that's the problem... You can HP/SP scum, the game even tells you that you can, and encourages you to do it. Party members also tell you to go back once you're low en SP aswell... It just seems like a waste of time, could've just made enemies repop once you "rest" at a save point, à la dark souls.
Well that's good news for y'all playing on the Switch, it seemed atrocious in the video comparison so it's cool if they managed to make loading times shorter.
That said, I already get annoyed when I have to go back everytime on PC even though it takes a couple seconds, it would've made me more mad if I was playing on the switch lol.
It' just the process that's annoying, go to save point, select leave prison, for some reason, it puts you back downstairs at Leblanc, so you have to walk back, then go back to the hideout, once in the hideout you then have to select infiltrate jail again, once you're in jail, you have to select the checkpoint you where at and fast travel there.
It's just tedious especially if you suck at the game and play on hard difficulty like I do and have to do it a lot.
But oh well.
Arena did have a good story for Labrys but Ultimax completely shit the bed.
And the games are indeed good but I don't care much for fighting games. Forcing fans of your rpg to play a completely different genre to see the continuation of the story is moronic. They didn't need to be canonic sequels. At least with P3D/P5D you're not missing out on any plot if you're not into rythm games, they just put in some character interactions for fan service which is the ideal way to go about it.
Anybody had any crashes yet on PC? Had one last night leaving the first Jail and had to do it all again. Been silky smooth aside from that though.
Had one crash going to the elevator fight in Alice's jail but nothing else so far.
Had one after the first forced save point in the intro, but nothing since then.
Even with a 2 x resolution scale this is a jaggy ass game.
Could do with some TAA or something.
I wonder if forcing FXAA for the Nvidia control panel would help any.
Apparantly the in game AA messes up the text and makes it blurry as well.
Might have to turn it off.

yep. Once you start getting bond points you can start leveling up baton passes to fill up the showtime meter everytime you pass. Pretty good incentive to keep switching around during battles.
and remember, you don't have to go to checkpoints to switch out party members. You can do it in the pause menu. Just in case you're close to the end of a section and don't want to return to a save point.

Damn, if you're not careful the strong enemies can really fuck you up.
Getting ambushed by a guard would also destroy you pretty fast.
And this is on normal

Yeah I'm not sure if I'd call it difficult, but a little unbalanced. I just fought the first Jail boss and like all the boss enemies before it I was basically only doing single digits damage most of the time. And Showtime and all out attacks also felt like they did barely anything. Does the shop get revival items soon? Kind of a pain that I'd only found one at that point and basically had to go through half of the fight down two party members.
I got quite a few once I made it to the second palace. Be sure to invest in sophias bond that allows better deals in the shops. She started stocking revival items.
How do I access this chest? 🤔
Have you gotten caught? Some chests get blocked when security is higher from being spotted. (this is just a guess)
Nope, not been caught. I think I just ignored this chest, couldn't find a way in from above either.

Behind you, turn right and keep following the street north there is a button that you press that starts a timer to race back to it before the forcefield turns on again.
Well, now i'm at 99% security since i'm going to fight the boss, but it was locked even when it was a 0%. Thought it was for later so I kept it in the back of my mind.
But now i'm about to finish the dungeon and it's still locked and I still can't find a way to access it. <.<
Its because it runs on the Musou engine and its like that on all platforms sadly. Turning render scale to 2.0 on PC remedies it but on PS4 it doesn't seem like theres any solution
Thanks to everyone who replied to my question about impressions, glad the game sounds awesome. Best Buy might be delivering my copy early today :o
Unfortunately it seems like the steenbok is delayed, wonder if I'm even getting it at all now. Btw, the game is the #1 selling PS4 game on Amazon currently in the US, hopefully it sells well.

I guess there goes my dreams of it selling super well on Switch and Switch finally getting a bunch of Persona ports.
