I wonder when we can expect to hear whatever Atlus has planned this year. I'm sure we'll get an anniversary livestream at some point.
Likely going to be more radio silence until the valves open up starting with SMTV in March.
We have Strikers in February, Nocturne sometime (I think by April), and yeah, SMTV info dump likely in March, might be sometime after that I would imagine, yeah.
Not sure I understand your question. If you got the PS4 version you can look it up on the console PS store and get it there.
The Hatsune Miku DLC is available on the PS4 shop? I had thought it was only DLC for the vita version that transferred over, and that's why it seems like a problem. Vita digital content is no longer available on the web browser PS store as of a couple months ago.
You have to rebuy the Dancing All Night DLC for the PS4 version.(at least the english version anyway)
Bumping my question to add something else.
If I manage to grab a p3d + p5d physical edition, I should be able to use the P4D code just fine?
As long as the code hasn't been used it should be fine I imagine.
Oh, okay. I guess the information I had found online before was wrong. Doesn't help that the new PS web store is shite, so I can barely search for anything on it (and then when I find it, it doesn't load prices or anything).
I think we'll get Persona stuff the last half of this year. Concerts, game announcements, etc.
Final boss of Eternal Punishment gets pretty Nyarly toward the end.
I think I know what I need to beat it: Just more magic resistance or Makarakarn. The P2 duology is weird in the fact that Almighty doesn't go through Makarakarn.

Doesn't sound like it bar stuff like the Best Buy Steel Book.
There's a Digital Deluxe edition but I think that's it.
aw man. I have the steelbook preordered at BB but I would cancel it if they come out with something fancier.
I just finished Eternal Punishment, I'll be making an LttP thread on it soon.
In short: THIS IS THE BEST PERSONA!
You should really play the Persona 2 duology, as you're missing out on something truly great. I know Persona 1 is a hard sell on people because of how much of an endurance test it can feel like, but the P2 duology is so much different.
One of my favorite things about the duology is that the casts of both games are excellent. There's not a single character that I would think "Stop talking I hate you" every time they spoke. I had that feeling for Yosuke in Persona 4 and Junpei in Persona 3.

That's exactly how I felt about Lisa lol, I think I actually hate her more than Rise
I don't, everything about Rise including her social link is garbage

Lisa is great though lol
One of the best things about her is how she's never portrayed as fanservice. Every time she's sexualized, it's NEVER toward the player and she's in control of it. Her bio at the start says she claims to be the hottest girl at Sevens. It's a very stark contrast to Rise being paraded around in an bikini and doing that blushy face thing towards the protagonist constantly.
The Persona 2 cast is great but after hearing for years about "how much better they are then those shitty P3/4 people" I didn't feel they lived up to the hype when I finally played the game.
I admit though my love of modern Persona makes me biased. I wanna go back and replay the classic games at some point soon and hopefully I'll have a more positive take away.

Tbf in the case of P1 I don't think anyone ever claimed the characters were great
I don't think the P3/P4/P5 casts are shitty, and the thing I mentioned about Lisa vs Rise isn't even a problem specific to Rise, as they have done this with other characters in the modern games, including ones from her same game. I actually liked Rise.
I think another thing that makes the P2 cast for me was the fact that their interactions are not all centered around the protagonist.
Also as far as Persona 1's cast, it's neat, but yeah, I don't think it's anything stellar. I did like some of the characters like Ayase and Yukino. Elly and Mark are alright too.
If you need to, look up a contact guide for the demons, that might help you out a bit, otherwise it can be trial and error or guessing based on the personalities.
I don't know if you understand how negotiation works, but in Persona 1 and 2, there's the 4 emotions on the meter, and maxing any one emotion will get a result out of that demon. Anger makes them attack or go into Furious condition. Fear makes them run away. Happy makes them give you stuff (money, items, etc.), Eager gets the spell card. You don't recruit the demons, you just get their spell cards and fuse those to make Personas in Persona 1, and you can't fuse the Personas.
One thing I want to see if they ever remake Persona 1 and 2 is proper Persona fusion. I liked P2's summoning system even less than Persona 1's spell card fusion, but P2's system is very manageable in Eternal Punishment. Innocent Sin, it's a nightmare, but it's also a very easy game so it doesn't matter much.
Kills me that I can't play Q2 yet, loved the first so much. Have to finish P5R first though.
Do you still get to choose between which game's cast to focus on or can you only choose P5 this time as the main cast?
My heart will always belong to P3.
Only P5, the other groups come in as you progress through the story.
After loving P4G as my first entry into the series, I was excited to try Persona 3. Quickly bought P3P for my VITA only to discover...visual novel. Non-starter.
I do have a PS3 and, in fact, also bought P3 FES. Unsurprisingly, the game looks pretty rough on my 65" TV.
I am now paralyzed with indecision. First world problems, I know!

That's the reason people are clamouring for a P3 remake: there's no definitive version of it. P3P has FeMC and Direct Command, at the cost of going for the visual novel presentation. FES has the superior presentation, but no FeMC or Direct Command.
Right. I read a helpful thread here comparing the two. Many suggested that FES is the choice for a first playthrough while P3P is good if you're inclined for a second run.
Gahhhhhh, they messed up the Life Aid skill in PQ2. It still works properly, but the icon is for a Navigator Dungeon skill, while it's actually a Navigator Battle skill. I keep coming close to accidentally fusing it wrongly because of the mislabeling.
I'll mention this in my Eternal Punishment LttP thread, but I'll put it here: My personal rankings of the mainline games.
Eternal Punishment > 5 > 3 > 4 > Innocent Sin > 1
The thing is I think Persona 1 is a very good game, so that speaks to the quality of series. The only reason Innocent Sin is so low is just because of how stupidly easy the game is and it can feel like a slog sometimes because of that.
If we're counting the 2 duology as one game, then it's unquestionably at the top.

Alright guys I'm pulling out the Vita for P2 Innocent Sin, pro tips? I've finished P3P, P4 Golden, and P5, so really excited to finally jump in. Also how is this port of P2?
It is apparently easier than the PS1 original, which was already easy, but great port nonetheless.
If you can't figure out contacts I would honestly just look up a guide. IS's contacts are really complicated, too much so IMO. You can scrape by with trial and error, but some bosses will just take a long time to beat with weaker Personas.
Utilize Fusion Spells.
Without spoiling anything, there's a certain party member that will be replaced by another at one point late in the game: That party member's personas are still usable on other people if they are compatible.
Don't be shy to abuse Estoma. And try finish your battles with Fusion Spell to try trigger mutations.
If anyone here is interested, or hasn't read yet, here's my LttP on Eternal Punishment: https://www.resetera.com/threads/lt...s-is-it-this-is-the-best-persona-game.367541/
In short, you really should play the P2 Duology!
Also as I was doing my ranking of the mainline games, for those that have played it: Do you consider Strikers to be a mainline game? It's a sequel to P5 technically, and an RPG (although an action RPG), but Persona 4 Arena is also technically a sequel to Persona 4, but it's not an RPG. I can't really say for myself until I play Strikers, but I'm curious to hear what those that have played the Japanese version think.

While I don't share your love of P2(as I mentioned in my post in that thread) the amount of love and passion that went into this thread is definitely admirable.
On Strikers no I don't consider it a mainline game. First off because it doesn't acknowledge Royal which is supposed to be the definitive version of P5. I'm sure future spin-offs will correct this but until it does that's gonna be a sticking point for me.
Second, it's because of the story, I don't want to go into spoilers but to give a vague summery.
It feels like it's trying to retread P5 to much, it feels very "anime movie" in that yeah it's canon but there wasn't any major changes or revelations, it was just another adventure for the Phantom Thieves.
I'm still super excited for Strikers mind you I was just a little disappointed in some aspects of the story.
I wouldn't suggest it. You're really missing out on a lot if you do.
Quick question..
I've seen P5 is £7.49 on the UK store, is the Royal content available to buy from the original game?

Wild that P3 has a literal clock for its motif and they went with the HS logo instead... weird.
I'm going to forever be disappointed this isn't one of the watches.
Although to be fair it's kind of a generic watch that could exist in real life. It could be something more like this.
