Well, with scramble announced, I guess I am getting this title since I never finished the original and it looks to be the version to get.
... Same. We really gotta get out there and look for internships.
Is it a nonexistent boogeyman, though? Six posts up from you is a series of photoshops covering up the character. Dozens of posts from people either unhappy with the design, modifying it to cover her up, or agreeing that she looks better modified thus. One can take to twitter and find artists getting several thousand retweets on their modified designs, most of which just make her the fourth female character with a skintight bodysuit. Kinda ironic.
The problem (imo) isn't necessarily that a female character shows skin, or even that said female character is 15-16 - pretending that teenage girls the world over have never worn anything skimpy is kinda disingenuous - but that atlus really hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt given how oddly and creepily ann is treated for the titillation of the viewer. Multiple cutscenes where ryuji and/or morgana try to look down her shirt, or up her skirt, etc. Even some of the mementos filler conversations get weird about it...there's one where Ann complains about her outfit feeling tighter and wonders if her boobs have gotten bigger, another where she complains about how bumpy the ride is and morgana mutters happily about feeling a soft butt. There's nothing inherently wrong with Kasumi's design, but recent history suggests atlus may very well get weird about it.
Your mistake was expecting Atlus to do anything that makes sense or takes effort.
I'd wait at least until we got confirmation either way about whether a vanilla P5 save could transfer over social stats/compendium/etc.
It just sucks that I waited this long to play vanilla P5 and now I feel like I gotta way another year or more or knowingly experience a way shittier version
What makes you think that overt sexualization is the first choice for Atlus character designers in regards to female characters? I can't recall any other characters from the other Persona games displaying overt sexualization. We have a 3 to 1 ratio of sexualized character design in P5 alone. Futaba, Haru, and Makoto's outfits are solid.
well if you believe Jason (and you really should), there has not been any plans for a switch port that he knows of
wait for Royal or Royal with pricedrop if you dislike paying $50. play another Atlus RPG until then if you have to.
That's just crazy to me considering
A) the success of the Switch
B) Persona's history of handheld ports (on less successful hardware, no less)
Shit doesn't add up.

Is vanilla P5 that bad?
I also find it odd that one of the main complaints of P5 is that it's too long already but this is just inserting way more shit, no?
At any rate, I've played all the Atlus RPGs I've wanted to play that are available.
Well, I def believe him now but it's not like they can't decide to do a Switch port later (hell, as of today given the response to the announcements) without telephoning Jason to let him know first.
Like, it wouldn't surprise me if they announce P5R for Switch when we get closer to the PS4 release. Or hell, AFTER the PS4 release.

I love that they can't help but make their goofy mascots into pretty boys
Kasumi looks interesting. I'm curious how she'll fit into the story. Move over Makoto, the new canon girl has been instated

P5 had serious pacing problems imo.
So the problem wasn't necessarily its length but the fact that the game could become a slog to play through after a few dungeons.
Being too long is less of an issue than feeling too long. I have as many hours in Sekiro as I had in P5 and I want to play many more. Pacing is the real issue.
If they do some editing, remove some completely redundant conversations, rework dungeons a bit (something already shown in the trailer) in a way that not only makes them more interesting, but overall shorter, you could end up with the same length when accounting for the new stuff, but a game that flows much better, and doesn't drag.
Like, the dungeons were so long that even my favorite ones had me feeling "just end already" in the final stretch. Some reworking could go a long way.
Maybe, we don't know for sure. But it's possible. Depends if they just want to add value for those who already love P5 as is or if they want to make a better overall game.
I'd have to imagine Sony has some exclusivity rights to P5 and potential adding.
Well, if nothing else you've convinced me that waiting is worth it.
I guess I got DQ XI S this fall, anyway, on top of a laundry list of awesome Switch RPG ports. I was just really hoping I could enjoy this game they way I enjoyed P4G - anywhere and anytime I wanted.
no, it's a great game and i thought the length was perfect. Royal is most probably the final/extended version. No reason to go back unless you know you'll be playing both anyway or want an extra set of trophies.
I think we would know about that.
I think Atlus, for whatever reason, just prefers mainline Persona as a Sony franchise.
All the Persona mainline games are exclusive to Playstation hardware, IIRC. All of them.
It's a ridiculously long game but it's also one of the highest rated jrpgs, isn't it? I enjoyed every minute of it myself and actually went through a second play through immediately after finishing my first and eventually a full third play through. Haven't done that with any other game since P4Golden.
At this point though it might just be better to wait for the royal seeing as how you've already waited this long.
Normally I'd agree, but from what I can glean from the trailer, this is a pretty substantial change; it's not like the Final Fantasy XV Royal Pack where it added a few extra bits here and there, but looks like a bunch of entirely-new content and updates to old content.
Oh, for sure, it seems like it was relatively early on that Hifumi was decided to be a Confidant instead of party member. I'm just sayin' that wanting cut content isn't always a bad thing, just the same as it isn't always good lol
It could. We don't know yet, but at the very least we know they are changing some stuff with the dungeons which were one of the parts that dragged during the later parts of the game.
The game does have pacing issues but I thought it was moreso the time spent with characters wasnt spaced out well enough. Haru needed to be introduced months earlier. That being said, by the end of P5, both times I played it, I couldve gone for like, 5 months more. The characters in these games are developed so well, that even at hour 200, I could have more. Felt the same way with P4G.
Super amped for this.

I think it's safe to assume they'll find a way to not completely rush Haru's story. This is a problem even for people who don't mind the length or even the overall pacing. I don't think there's a single person who think they handled it well.
It's one thing when it comes to "should they make a rerelease for people who didn't enjoy the game, instead of its biggest fans?", but this is a problem for everyone.
Yeah stuff like that should be fixed. Axe that entire bit with Mona and give her more of an introduction and it'd be better.
I know a lot of people had issues with how they split story time and free time, but I hope that stays the same honestly. Its a nice way to plan out what to do and how long you have to mess around without a story beat happening. I do think they could add more night time activities and let you go out instead of Mona saying to go to bed. That way the player isnt locked into JUST story for weeks. Give the player more freedom and agency.
So no DLC option, only a full purchase? Nah, I'm gonna pass on that then. Might pick it up when it's $20 or something later.
I mean Sony produces the anime, and handles the music so probably that helps...
Naoto is a character for most of the game even if she doesn't join you till late. Haru is a non entity.
If that the case then Joker wouldn't be in Smash. Sony have nothing to do with Atlus decisions regarding Persona.
Ah ok, yeah it has been a while. I suppose Naoto's character fits into the overall story a bit better than Haru's in general. They could introduce Haru earlier but I think may have to make more changes for her to take a more active role in what is going on, other than her just being a random person at school they bump into.
In addition to that Naoto gets a significant amount of screen time after she joins. Haru is relegated to the background pretty much right after Okumara's dungeon finishes.
Does having exclusivity rights to a game and it's add one prevent a character from the game being on another consoles game? I'm just talking specifically the game and add ons, not just characters.
The new character's combat footage shows HP high, like current endgame. Not 100% on this, but that implies that her arc as at the current endgame, and that the 7th (and possibly 6th, and maybe even 5th) arcs need to be heavily changed for that to make any sense, and for a presumable redemption arc. That gives them a lot of room to increase Haru's role and most of the entirely new content comes after she's joined anyway.
The trailer shows a clothing store. I figure they'll make most of the previous clothing DLC available in the base game this time.
That would be nice. Hopefully they include the music dlc too. Persona battle themes are nice and all, but hearing the same one for 100 hours gets a bit grating.

Damn I was about to play my original copy of Persona 5 too.
If this comes with all the DLC as well (i'm assuming) then i'll have to pick this one up instead.
The timing is too weird for this to not come to the switch after joker's release. I'm thinking that's going to be the next announcement.
I wasn't
